My opinion on these two is split. With Brand, it's what I expect from him, and amusing as his pronouncement to an American audience was, that we wouldn't have trusted George Dubya with a pair of scissors, let alone a country, he's still just an irritating little tit who I would not miss if I never heard of him again.

Wossy on the other hand, I actually like. He is incredibly egocentric and his humour does sometimes cut close to the bone, but basically I like the guy, and more than anything I feel disappointed in him (which, as I'm not his Mum, is an odd thing to feel). He was right out of order, but has at least had the decency to deliver a personal apology. It's no excuse, but it's something.

You're probably right about his TV show format getting a bit tired, but I would miss his radio show on Saturday mornings.

Yes..and his Film 2008 show is not bad either. But his Fri show is just old. And when he gets smutty with the ladies is a bit 'eww'.

I try watching Film whenever I can as he seems to have a similar taste to mine. Missed this week's show, though. What did he make of Ghost Town? He's Gervais' buddy so it was probably favourable but from the trailer, it looks awful.

And if Ricky Bloody Gervais is on his show one more time, I'll stop watching.
Yeah, it's getting tired but now and then there's a gem, like the one a few years ago with James Brown and Joss Stone. I liked Joss Stone then, she's got a great voice but she was completely lost on stage next to JB who had more Soul in his little finger than she in her whole body.

Back to the issue at hand, I'm with Malk, I'm really disappointed in Woss but the actual person responsible was the controller who let the thing through. The show was pre-recorded, there was no reason why it couldn't have been cut.

Restaurant finale tonight!

He gave Ghost Town quite a favourable review - to be fair some of the other reviewers have given it the thumbs up as well.

Yes, how many times has Ricky Gervais been on his show? It's getting quite boring now...

I'm looking forward to the Restaurant tonight - I am actually warming towards the boys though, I don't like the girl in it, you feel like she is all smile, but completely cold..

I wonder if it turns into a Murder on the Orient Express. ;o)
Of the two remaining, I'd prefer the boys, too.

Absolutely ; ) Did you know that the people that won it last year ended up in that restaurant for 6 months before they quit? I'm not overly surprised..

Yeah, I heard. sesquipedality used to live near there but never actually went. I can't remember who the winners were now.
The restaurant itself still seems to be running under new management, though.

Actually, this and Masterchef remind me that I should never ever try this although running a restaurant, or rather, a gamer pub with good food, has been one of my dreams.
