Chris *beep* Addison?!

I actually start to feel my blood pressure go up every time he opens his mouth, with is skinny wavy attention seeking arm and collection of shirts that seem to have been made of 70's curtains.

He reminds me of the type of student at a house party that just won't shut the *beep* up, and you end up having to leaving the room saying 'Sorry I can't take this any more, I'm going to kill this twat if I don't leave'.

He occasionally makes me smile a very tiny bit, but is nowhere near the level of Micky Flanagan, Greg Davis or Stewart Francis.

I would suggest, with the opening of the Shard Tower in London this week, that would be the perfect place to hang him from, or indeed throw him off...

Or it could fall on him? If we're lucky!

I agree he can get irritating, but there are flashes of brilliance like the recent repeat with the caption competition with Merkel and Osbourne "O.B.E.C."

His german thing was hilarious. Andy Parsons and Nathan Caton were abysmal - "old berliner eats chin" and "oh bubble gums extra chewy" were cringe-worthy and outright embarrassing.

And for all his faults I'd take Chris over the terribly average and rarely funny Andy Parsons.

"... nowhere near the level of Micky Flanagan, Greg Davis or Stewart Francis."

You just named three of the few people who have done the show who aren't unfunny D-List has-beens. Milton Jones and Frankie Boyle being two others.

Get rid of Hugh Dennis and Andy Parsons to start with. Jesus Christ they suck. There's a reason you don't see them on any other panel show. Dara can go too while we're at it. The whole damn show needs a major overhaul.

Well, we really seem to have very different tastes, 'cause I find Micky Flanagan and Stewart Francis incredibly annoying and unfunny.
I'd definitely wouldn't get rid of Dara, Hugh Dennis sometimes has his moments so I don't think I would like to see him go either (especially if you don't know who will follow in his footsteps, it might be someone much worse).
I also don't think Chris Addison is that bad (although no substitute for Frankie Boyle).

I stopped watching MTW ages ago but Chris Addison was one of the reasons for it, and you've managed to sum up my thoughts on him perfectly. I'd rather see Howard back than suffer, him and I am by no means a Russell Howard fan.
