Jonathan Ross show

Who was on?

Hi PM, that reality tv star Davinia McCall going on about nookie, an Irish actor who starred in that soft porn film all the wimin drool over, Fifty Pails Of S**** or something similar and a so called comedian making jokes about stiffies.

Pardon the language PM but I`ve had a bad day

Bunch of uncultured plebs imo.

Jamie Dornan plays a good serial killer in 'The Fall'
He should never have taken the part in Fifty Shades, poor career choice imvho.

When you think of the caliber of the guests on Face To Face back in the day, e.g. Martin Luther King, Gilbert Harding, Otto Klemperer, Tony Hancock, Adlai Stevenson, Adam Faith, Carl Gustav Jung, etc etc and even Parkinson with the likes of Ali, Cagney, John Wayne, Orson Welles, etc, etc, one realises how standards have declined so much.

I agree Zen. He seems a decent guy and seems to have made some good films but taking part in that rubbish is astounding. Money.

I`ll check that film out Zen.

So true, ITV caters for the intellect of the consumer, however that list above of yours carries a wealth of unique characters and in the PC and social media world we now prevail in, the character has been vitiated.

'The Fall' the series mac, with Gillian Anderson ( as a not so convincing detective )

The 3rd series is due to be screened any day now.

Great point Zen. I have the Face To Face dvds and they are wonderful and intense viewing. The Hancock one and Harding interview were very emotional. I think Harding was probably the man to weep on tv during a very emotional episode. Tony Hancock suffered badly from depression and spoke about it. He committed suicide shortly after.

I never watched the JR show mac, it's a piteous, repugnant, stockpile of cow plop.

Thanks Zen, I`ll check the film out.

I was flipping the chanels and came across it Zen. That will not happen again. I think you were kind in your assessment

I do love a good interview Mac, generally due to the dearth of good en's these days, i have all but put them in the past, which of course they are with Face to Face.

Strange thing is, that when any of the big names snuff it, i spend hours searching for their old interviews and i become absorbed for a while.

Simone Signoret was a great interview. Stunning woman in her day and a very good actress. Mind you, I`m biased.

'The Fall' is certainly one of the better ones Mac. Well worth catching up on, if you have time to watch it from the start.

I will check Simone out

I`ll definitely check that out Zen. Thanks. How many series have been made?

They are about to air series 3 Mac, so 2 so far.

Oh no, the third series has started with me knowing!

I need to catch up.

1-3 Blu Ray on sale on Amazon. Pre Order out on 31 October. I will buy. Thanks mate.

If you want a great UK chat show you need to watch Allan Carr and Michael McIntyre as these 2 are top interviewers.

I assume you're being facetious.

It's light entertainment though isn't it? Who is available coupled with who has a book / film / single out and knows the rules of the game (i.e be light and frothy, josh with Ross / Norton / Carr, chuckle at any schoolboy innuendo and above all don't take yourself too seriously).

You'd love a bit more depth and meat from guests but you're looking in the wrong place really aren't you (we?)

Wossy is lightweight and should be paid accordingly,he is entitled to be on TV if there  is a demand but I am amazed that he gets paid so much for being so average.

Corbyn will be able to take over in a couple of years he'll have nothing else to do.

Humourless, thin-skinned, 'face-fit-for-radio'

Think he's better suited to C++ software engineer on something where he doesn't have to interact with human beings.

Star guest Davina McCall says it all.
Never watched the show since he had Geri Haliwell on and praised her singing.
Who was the poor comedian? Was he called mac or something?
