Note that arrangement of our names, David? PERRY & Bussell? That's the way I likes it. Ooo yeah, I does like it like that. Mmm hmmm babeh, that's right...
I think we've upset someone Page 5
I think anybody who has the temerity to think that what they've written merits anyone elses attention, deserves all they get, the good and the bad. Credit where it's due, and derision where it isn't. As comedy is so subjective we each can only say what we personally think about any show on TV, and it's amazing how broad a range of opinions some shows get. On the other hand, there's "Lab Rats"...

He doesn't make exclusively 'racist' jokes. You do know that, right? Or has it just evolved into general instinctive hatred of him full stop?
I like Jim Davidson's delivery but not his message. But he's a skilled comic nontheless and I admire him for that. Credit where it's due.

There's not just racism to hate about him. There's hatred of women, and gays. And probably little fluffy kittens.
He's a smorgasbord of c**tdom.
Faaair enough!

Thanks for the intelligent reply Winters.

Quote: Griff @ October 7 2008, 8:07 PM BSTIt is not the BBC's job to encourage new talent, or to create job opportunities for wannabe writers.
It's their job to create TV shows that people like. How they go about it is up to them. If they decide that they've got all the writers they need for a while, that's their business, surely.
Couldn't disagree more, it's a public service broadcaster. It has a duty to create and support tv people like, without being unduly influenced by comercial influences.
This includes encouraging new talent, and potential talent.
The alternative would be the arts council doing; great smelly farts of history and a collection of jelly moulds of big boobies.
We don't pay hefty taxes for safe, populist pap.

No. He'll be a bigot about anything!
I don't know that for sure. I know little of him, but I liked him on Big Break.

But the world would be a much better place if we did.

Them were the days. 
I wonder if people like Davidson, Freddie Starr and Cannon And Ball ever get together for a good old bitch?? I like to think they do.

Hard to believe that anybody with even a smidgeon of a brain could think that. Very sad.

That is so beautiful it's almost poetic. Or so poetic it's almost beautiful. Either way, Matthew did a funny.
Actually he was very good on Big Break. He is a skilled comedian and you can't deny that - (although I'm not a fan of the material) But that Piers Morgan interview didn't do him any favours. It was one of the few times I've ever seen Piers Morgan in a room with somebody else and actually liked Piers more.

Cannon and Ball are born again Christians, Starr's a total piss head, and Davidson's an anal veruca.
I think their get togethers would be hilarious and quite violent.
