comic relief

[Ms T]

I love Feedback, especially because my bosses have to go on it to explain themselves. I hope you get on it, wiskey!

I just heard Arthur Smith doing continuity. I don't think the regular Radio 4 announcers have anything to worry about!

I have to say that Jo Brand was shockingly crap on the Today programme.

see he caused me no problem at all

I thought he was quite sweet, and I enjoyed the little chat he had with Peter White.

Painfully bad. I did a double take at the insulting 'banter.'

Ill judged.

 

[zenie]

yeah you're right, point taken. I spose the endless lack of sleep is getting to me a bit and I had a sense of humour failure.

not helped by the fact that I'm violently allergic to jo brand. had it been someone else I probably wouldn't have cared, or if she'd been vaguely funny.

as it happens I have donated to CR.

Awrrr Sense of humour failure is allowed when you have lack of sleep (missfran this could be you lol)

I get myself so worked up sometimes about things just like this, but then I worry the complaint'll be posted up in one of those worst complaint letters!

I do think you love or you hate her

 

[ddraig]

I forgot you have a small child and thus have an excuse for grumpiness, so I take back the "miserable cunt" comment. Sorry.

I just get fed up with people complaining about Comic Relief. It's one day every 2 years and they raise a lot of money. We can all live with it for one day.

but they could also switch the bbc off for a day and still make more money from the licence fee! no need to have righteous rich people who are comletley loaded doing a token 'hillarious' 5 mins on tv. altruism not.

Apart from you can't just not pay people for the day, can you?

 

[Pigeon]

oh. well far from getting me to donate I just emailed feedback to complain I've never done that before it's quite liberating

You preposterous, petty twat! Do you leave people pissy notes if they park outside your house n all?

Next time they should get you to whinge your way through the continuity announcement.

That would be funny!

 

[kabbes]

I'd leave a fucker a pissy note if they parked outside MY house. In piss.

 

[Citizen66]

Is Brand's routine still centred around bodily functions?

She's like a feminist Ben Elton.

Read the thread please.

fwiw I'm giving up my Friday night to take donations and don't really care if it annoys the people who hate charity stuff

 

[tarannau]

I hate Comic Relief on telly but I have participated in silly charity things on the day in the past and enjoyed it.

it's mildly annoying that it takes over one channel for the evening, but hardly a huge issue. Christ, given the state of most of the beeb's Friday night programming I can't really complain that I'm missing out. It's a good push to the pub.

 

[Shirl]

Comic relief may be every 2 years but it feels like it's every year I hate all that forced jollity. I do love Jo Brand though

 

[sojourner]

I'm tired, I object to that woman being in my radio before 9am, and whilst I don't mind CR getting into programmes I can avoid I object to it permeating everything.

oh and I intensely dislike jo brand's voice.

i actually moaned about this today to two people

i hear ya!

 

[London_Calling]

fuck off

Angry of Urban!

I'd guess the idea is it's funny if you live in Tunbridge Wells - you know, diff strokes for diff folks, etc.

 

[trashpony]

I listened to feedback this afternoon and was waiting for you to come on wiskey

 

[Maggot]

At least this thread is free from those people who object to Comic Relief for political reasons (so far). They are the worst.

fwiw I'm giving up my Friday night to take donations and don't really care if it annoys the people who hate charity stuff

Good on ya, JTG.

I've seen loads of schoolkids in various outfits, wigs, red hair etc. Certainly brightened things up. My friends son's football team played a match dressed as the Wombles - he was Great Uncle Bulgaria.

Big shout out to the Ealing Massive on Comic Relief.

Big shout out to the Ealing Massive on Comic Relief.

Wut?

 

[Santino]

The special Doctor Who episode was in fact a special Sarah Jane Smith episode and they name-checked Ealing MORE THAN ONCE.

 

[mrsfran]

That's because it is THE BEST PLACE.

 

[wiskey]

I listened to feedback this afternoon and was waiting for you to come on wiskey

it was only a line and a half long and just said please don't put that woman in my radio before 9am again.

almost those exact words.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Fucking hell, David looks bloody gorgeous in that suit (which I want, BTW)

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

Davina Mcall hasn't read 1984... I'm speechless

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I don't mind Comic Relief, the kids at school love it and I've come across excellent projects that get cash from them. I haven't actually got the radio on so I didn't realise. I think they should have gone for more Radio 4 types. Fred MacCauley, Barry Cryer, Nicolas Parsons perhaps. Jo Brand seems a bit Radio 2 or telly. Linda Smith and Hump would have been ideal but are sadly gone.....Charlotte Green being very funny doing continuity would have been good and all.

I'm amazed she can read the autocue
