New(ish) series, new guests - discuss!


So the new series has been going for a few weeks now, and we've had a varied selection of celebrity guests in the main show and Bogies. Now, has this been a good thing? I like the guests in the studio, Andy McNab was good and got right into it (and - apparently - Ricky Gervais will be on there sometime. At least, according to The Bookseller magazine he is), but the celebrities playing them at Bogies aren't as fun, as they are choosing people who have no shame - I mean, the Hamiltons and John McRirick will do anything to be noticed! And that removes the enjoyable element of watching the players squirm nervously during the game.
Looking at what I have read, I think I may be spending too much time watching and analysing kid's TV shows. I'm going out for a long walk!

Bogies isn't as funny anymore the only decent celeb they've has is Chris Moyles, the rest have been rubbish. As for the *celebrity* Bungalow heads... Well it is funny seeing the kids faces when they're introduced to their guest and they've never even heard of them! What was Andy McNab all about? Now I don't know what this guy looks like, but was it actually him or some random bloke dressed in army gear? Kate Lawler and the chick from Lenny Henry seemed to get quite into things *cough cough* Rachel Stevens *cough* but the best was the girl from Tracey Beaker, the others were all a bit bland from what I remember. Loving Naebody Move though!

To acheive the impossible dream, try going to sleep...

true about Bogies being less fun, but that'll change soon...
things i absolutely love this season:
- the coughing crocodile
- public transport
- yum yum yak! (why do they even spin the wheel, when they get to choose anyway?)
- every appearance of Harry Bat!!!

But do you guys also think that the creamy muck-muck finale isn't as fun as it used to be? They should just do something with muck-muck instead of making a TV-parody every week.

The Creamy Muck Muck game show is a play on Ant & Dec's saturday night quiz show thing, I think.

I agree though, they need to go back to the old ways.

The one where they had a grand prix round the entire house was the best.

Ever notice that whenever the celebrity guest takes off before Creamy Muck Muck time, Dick & Dom say they are 'doing a Rachel Stevens", after she did this on the first show of this season, or so. I noticed David Grant was a sport this morning, and got good & mucked!! Right on, mate!!! MY FAMILY LOVES THIS SHOW!!!!

reply

Pity though that he was suddenly wearing a wig during muckmuck and a hearprotector at the coughing croc. But okay he wasn't a Rachel Stevens.

I'm planning on having a dirty day myself!

Dave Schneider and Charlie Higson were great - "Sorry for ruining one of your best catchphrases" when they altered the Swiss Toni gag

AL MUrray was alright too
