Laverne's a bit better (not doing as much, really) and I think Mitchell's got real potential. The points he makes and questions he asks are actually really good. And I'm with Noise on Jimmy Carr - the most relaxed by far, he's got good timing. Probably because he's the only stand up.<br /><br />I think they're getting a pretty long run and I think on balance it'll be success. And it's not really here nor there, but fair play to them for doing it all live.

I know, I never thought I'd say it, but I think he might be quite palatable doing political material...<br /><br />There's been a bit of suggestion that Lauren Laverne is being sidelined, but then she's not a comedian or writer, and the rest are - they don't really know what to do with her, and the only thing she does comfortably at present is the presenty bits.<br /><br />The debates/interviews last week were rushed, this week not as bad, but that showed them up - I'm really not sure Mitchell's quite got the balls to really grill these people (maybe he'll get better with experience), and since the audience have already made up their mind what they're going to boo and hiss at, it all seems a bit pointless... <br /><br />So yes - very hit and miss. Hope it beds down and sorts it's teething problems out, cos it could be really good.Noyushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16821042807593222169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1551058030511028381.post-15989341662246350272011-01-28T13:43:41.231-08:002011-01-28T13:43:41.231-08:00Fair points yes.

I've seen statues with better comic instinct.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00883652938068686404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1551058030511028381.post-23478899888425674192011-01-25T11:43:43.689-08:002011-01-25T11:43:43.689-08:00right, finally finished it.
