Alan Carr and Justin Lee Collins

The Friday Night Project duo have gone their separate ways, apparently. I prefer Justin anyway.

As a Bristolian, I prefer the Stephen Merchant-type of Bristolian to the Justin Lee Collins variety. Please don't let Justin become representative of us in the West Country. I'd prefer it if you'd think of us all like Jethro characters rather than Justin. Beyond boundless enthusiasm as a substitute for wit, I can't quite see his appeal. The best thing for Alan Carr is to move on from the double act part of his career.

Justin Lee Collins was sat behind me on a Virgin flight from Las Vegas last week, economy. Not the best anecdote, but still, there he was.

No - he was born in THE bath.

They've split up? Oh no - double the amount of mediocre cobblers.

They were never actually a double act and only came together to host The Friday/Sunday night project. I didnt think much of Justins new talk show but really enjoyed Alans new talk show. So does this mean no more F/S night project or is it going to go on without them??
