Nothing wrong with that! It just makes me wonder what any of the new presenters could do to replace him in the eyes of the audience.

[Ed Pummelon]

Nothing. It's a new start, time to move on, same as always. And as always, some can, some can't. No big deal, the show's there for those that want it, that's the main thing.

[jocky85]

Its Richard Whitely and Countdown all over again

[MK Chris]

A lot of the time new hosts don't work, particularly if the predecessor was long-standing and well-established in the role. I suspect Stephen Fry knew and had considered this when he took the job on. Give him a break, it's his first show.

Incidentally, the one case I can think of where this was not the case is Simon Amstell on Buzzcocks.

[jocky85]

I think you may be right there Toph. Although Amstell for some reason seemed to cause more trouble - i.e. Preston from the Ordinary Boys walking out of a show etc. Don't think that ever happened with Lamar?

[Lactating Man Nips]

Amstell to that irritating lead singer of Towers of London, when he lit up a ciggy:

"oooh look, he's lighting a cigarette, a cigarette that you can legally buy in a shop"

[Yudster]

Amstell is a hundred times funnier and more watchable than Mark Lamarr. I loathe that nasty little creep.

'10 * years I've been doing this!!'

[Yudster]

Well he's another one who has to take what he can get, the slimy lard-arse.

I was wondering what time the new iPhone software was expected to appear at so I did a quick google search. The discussion in the following forum regarding what the difference was between 12:00am and 12:00pm made me smile.

This bit is brilliant -

I think he comes across as a nasty piece of work.

On the other hand, I quite like Jupitus.

[chrysostom]

although i like amstell, a lot : i feel that his style and reputation for tearing strips off anyone and everyone has severely impacted on the quality of guest they can attract

[Yudster]

Lamarr was much nastier than Amstell, he was vicious at times.

[Munki Bhoy]

I watched an older Buzzcocks last night and had the overwhelming feeling that it was better than it is now, mainly due to the difference in host.

Each to their own I suppose.

Such a shame to see Bill Bailey looking really uncomfortable throughout those moments - he's too nice.

[jocky85]

I like Phil Jupitus, prefer Bill Bailey to Sean was it? Never really watched it with him on it.

Any fans should definately go and see it be filmed. Much funnier I think

[MK Chris]

Sean Hughes was funny, but then so was Bill Bailey. Is he back for the next series, or did I dream that?

[S4B]

I'm happy with life, the universe and everything. Got very bored with listening to myself complain about everything! Yay! Happy S4 is back!

Board seems quite dull at the min - any of these threads I will enjoy reading? Getting bored dredging through them.

Everyone ok, anything exciting going on?

[MK Chris]

I may be too, if I don't get caught up doing something else.

[foot-loose]

What's everyone going to see?

A few of my friends are getting worked up over the new Transformers movie - I've never seen the first one and didn't watch the cartoons but I can see me going to the IMAX to see it.

[MK Chris]

I don't know, I'll see what I fancy when I get there. Maybe Night at the Museum 2. I'm definitely seeing Transformers, but it's not out until Friday.

[S4B]

My kids have seen Night in the Museum 2 they say it's the best sequel to any movie they've seen! from them that is HUGE praise. They loved the first one too.

[jocky85]

I have bugger all planned this weekend (apart from work Saturday daytime) suggestions for things to do are most welcome
