Things that you'd attribute to the panelists


Andy - starting sentences off with "Now,.....", lots of pausing and generally slow delivery

Russell - shouting, starting sentences off with "Imagine/Wouldn't it be great if...", silly accents

Hugh - "...the band was Showaddywaddy."

Frankie - the topic of Scotland

Dara - expanding on anything anyone says by including an impression of it

Any women panelist - not saying much, generally not being funny

You're right about Dara, he does make it sound like the round is for that character out of Lord Of The Rings, Eowyn.

I would have said Katona for Frankie but he doesn't mention her now as it's not as topical. Seems as though he's moved on to Lady Gaga.

Jo Brand and Gina Yashire can be funny sometimes, but that's really only 2 out of all the women they've ever had on it, and they've had a fair few.

Actually I'll do one for Gina:

Gina - talking in a strong Nigerian accent

That was Sandy Toksvig(sp?). Yeah she was ok. I would say the funniest has been Jo Brand who also had the funniest stand up segment, which is, I think where you find most how funny someone is.

Well she is from Nigeria


I know, it's just when she exaggerates her accent though for comedy effect.

Agree with your Brand assessment, not forgetting of course 'being fat' given the opportunity to talk about it.
