Quote: john lucas 101 @ May 19 2010, 2:15 PM BSTI wonder if Brooker, Mitchell and Coren go golfing together?
I think Coren fancies Charlie. She seems to throb everytime she looks at him. Whereas Mitchell she just tolerates. He's the gooseberry in that relationship.

I though Brooker was the fly in that ointment.

Pah! Why would anyone fancy Mitchell? He's funny but he's got a eunuch quality about him. Whereas Brooker's all raw bastard sexuality.

I rubbed some of that on my balls the other day and they haven't stopped watching Star Trek: Voyager since!

Quote: chipolata @ May 19 2010, 2:10 PM BSTI asked this of someone else, but who would you like to hear more on these shows?
Good question, me, obviously, but perhaps Tim Vine, Milton Jones, Gary Delaney, Dan Antopolski, Robin Ince, Stewart Francis, Andy Zaltzman and anyone of the multitude of comics out there who aren't the ones that turn up week in, week out on these sort of shows.
Quote: chipolata @ May 18 2010, 11:32 PM BSTJust listening to Charlie Brooker's prog. Enjoyable listen but not really re-inventing the panel-show wheel. And fairly bland guests this week, although I did enjoy Lee Mack's Twitter rant.
Lee Mack's comments about Twitter were spot on. There really is no defence for Twitter; it's boring people, imparting useless information to complete strangers. You might was well talk bollocks to anyone standing in front of you in a queue.
I will try harder to like Lee Mack in future.
Charlie and Lee's argument about Twitter really tickled me. Very funny.

I'd have to disagree, I use Twitter to write jokes and it's helped me immeasurably. There's some funny people on there who are worth following but yes, the signal to noise ratio is very unbalanced, but there are boring people in all spheres of life.

Peter Serafinowicz was on about Twitter on last week's Adam Buxton's Big Mix Tape, which is itself a prime candidate for this topic.

Tony is very funny on Twitter, it has to be said. Him and Kerensa are worth following.
Emma Kennedy isn't though. She just goes on and on and on and on. I really don't understand how she gets any writing done at all!

Just out of interest, no problem if the answer is yes, but have you actually followed my Twitter feed for any period of time or is that just a comment about Twitter in general?
Personally I follow @DavidSchneider, @PaulKerensa, @GaryDelaney, amongst others and they are very entertaining and funny in less than 140 characters, and if Tim Vine and Milton Jones were to ever tweet, I'm sure they'd be excellent.
