Waits for the remarks of 'nobody could touch Frankie this episode' . . .

Seriously, that's exactly what the fanboys will say. In spite of the "Operation: Space Grave" joke being reused (again), the stupid Chinese city on the moon joke and Frankie's ego once again not allowing anyone else to get a word in edgeways. Lucy Porter didn't say anything until twelve minutes into the episode thanks to him. I don't care if you don't think she's funny, it's not exactly being a team player, is it? She also didn't get a single word in the round after the Wheel Of News round, thanks to Frankie.

His act has got old, fast.

Thank you!! i thought i was the only one! most of the time, in my opinion Frankie just takes it too far, and the only way he gets the laughs is by being compleely grotesque and frequently crossing the line.

I havn't got a naughty bone in my body....except for the one that was in my boyfriend last night!

Totally agree he can be funny but a lot of the time his humour is just as offensive as possible I mean I dont mind offensive humour but its got to be witty Im fed up of him saying things like 'Gordon Brown looks like someones drawn a face onto their scrotum'.

I prefer when they used to do the games rather than just talk cos seriously th only reason we dont hear frankies voice for half an hour is primarily because Russell will often leap in. He is a little hit and miss with his stuff but I just welcome the lack of Frankie's voice.

Watch Live at the Apollo, you will not find one joke that hasnt been used on MTW and its worse to know he actually writes some of this horrible stuff, when it was on MTW it could be interpreted that he just said these things willy nilly but to think he actually sits down and thinks 'I know I'll make a joke about Gordon Brown, ooh I know hw he looks like a scrotum'

Also maybe im biased but I think I see some of the other panellists annoyed by it as well. I think there was a moment where Hugh started to say something and Frankie (wait for it) inturrupted and there was a look on his face of 'Oh for heavens sake'

Wow, carzy6 loves Frankie boyle, his repressed love for him is being masked by a false dislike of Frankie.

Good point.
Let's not forget that the original recording could've been much longer, with other comedians contributing just as much. They could've easily been cut from the final edit.

I shudder to think what this show would be like without Boyle.

Frankie doesn't have a say in the final cut of the show.
