What a load of rubbish this ITV show is, If it was just people who appeared in the sitcoms or who worked behind the scenes in the programme talking fair enough, but we have Ian Wright (as much as I like him) because he's black and that Cotton man because he is gay? And they have nothing to do with the involvement of the shows in question - utter tosh IMO!
This is ITV. They're there because they're "celebrities". It's to draw in the brainless plebs who watch that channel. Simple as that. I'm kind of surprised we didn't expect it from the beginning.
I call it The Council Estate Effect.
Ian Wright's a complete moron. I've disliked him ever since he lied about Peter Schmeichel racially abusing him during a match, in the late 1990s.
Thought it was quite funny a few years ago when ITV tried to mould him into some kind of chat show host. Not the brightest button on the jacket, is he! Bless!
He's really sweet on what I've seen him on. But footballers generally shouldn't be allowed to talk on TV.

Haha! Good point there, Aaron.
He used to wear that cowboy hat though, on They Think It's All Over....
*sigh*
They were good times.....
He does tend to get in a piss rather easily. I used to like it when they showed his reactions to England goals. But he quit because he thought he wasn't being taken seriously. Now he hosts Gladiators doesn't he? 
Why has this series just come to an early end? There are two episodes left to be shown, but haven't been so yet?
Hello Ladies and Gentleman and Miscellaneous, to follow on from Jack's point, this irregular series continues tomorrow, Tues, 18th Nov. The subject is Duty Free, which I can't recall ever actually seeing.
So, Duty Free: Any good or bag of old shite.?
I used to like it, probably won't ever be considered a comedy standard but it was pretty good for ITV comedy.
Gwen Taylor and Keith Barron were both in it.
Well, having seen this (Duty Free)last night along with the selected episode, I veer more toward the bag o'shite verdict.
Not having seen it originally, I have no idea as to whether it's always been cobblers or just not aged particularly well.
Reportedly it was, on at least a couple of occasions, the number one rated programme.
Anybody care to defend it?
They're leaving the best for last, though, with the episode on 'The New Statesman'. Which they will show at some point in the future. I expect.
It's no more than an average programme, it certainly doesn't rate the comedy 'classic' tag. But Gwen Taylor is pretty good, so is Keith Barron.
The no. 1 rated programme? Must have been shown before the rise of the soaps & reality TV.
Yes, it's hard to imagine any sitcom nearing the top ten programmes these here days. Perhaps the other two/three sides were on strike!
Calling Duty Free a 'classic' is somewhat odd. The final topic in a couple of week's time is more deserving though... it's about The New Statesman.
