I've just discovered that Rory Bremner is presenting a bland TV quiz show. A few weeks ago I discovered Sandi Toksvig is also presenting a bland TV quiz show. What the hell has happened that satirists are being offered and are accepting jobs presenting these shows rather than comedy shows?

It's called having to pay the mortgage. On top of which, I doubt many TV producers are beating a path to Toksvig and Bremners door asking them to create comedy shows.

At least Sandi's on the radio.
Isn't she?

She hosts the cutting edge satire that is The News Quiz.

I love The News Quiz. Highlight of my comedy week when it's on.

I wasn't accusing them of selling out, I was lamenting the fact that no one is interested in offering them a comedy show.

Just curious

If there was a general election today and this thread was the polling booth

Which party would get your X ?

Green are the only ones not pissing me off in some way.

OK.

Which one is correct?

Left.

Left!

Definitely left.
The one on the right is evil and wrong.

That.

Probably left, but I must confess - as a stroppy teenager I used to put it on the right to annoy my father.

The right one wears off the wall...
