I really shouldn't look at forum comments about You Have Been Watching, because they just end up making me angry.

it could've been improved by ditching that Holly Walsh bint and replacing her with someone who's actually funny and would have contributed to the showNo, Internet. No. Shut up. Holly Walsh contributed, if I recall correctly, more than

First of all, you're right & also righteous & I approve.

Also, I defy anyone to find anything funnier in quiz-based-panel shows than the episode of The News Quiz where Sue Perkins, Susan Calman and Sandi Toksvig get drunk on Buck's Fast.

Finally, this made me laugh out loud: (as we all know, if you spend all the points you gain on levelling up on Charisma, you won't have any left to spend on Intelligence, and I see no reason why we shouldn't apply RPG logic to real life).

...I have not heard this episode, but clearly I must.

Thank you!

That episode reduced me to helpless tears. I LOVE that Susan Calman's become a regular since then, she's awesome.

I have mad love for the News Quiz. Not just because it has a shitload of female regulars - Carrie Quinlan ♥ - but it is ALWAYS funny.

Susan Calman is so awesome. I saw her live recently, and she's just wiping-tears-away good.

Also, seconding the News Quiz love. It gets some kick-ass comedians on & they're so smart!

If I knew how to rip podcasts & upload them, I would. It is a beautiful thing.

I remember that. It was amazing.

[vampirespider]

It was! I have to admit, I occasionally re-listen in public and then I get weird looks for laughing in public.

Ooh, I'm not a regular News Quiz listener, but I must find that episode.

Annoying kneejerk response from someone who loved that episode too, but also grew up in Devon, where the drink is made by, yes, monks:

It's "Buckfast", after the the place it's made (Buckfast Abbey).

[vampirespider]

That's good to know, if I ever I stumble across it. *grins*

(Also, I have now googled the abbey. It seems really interesting.)

We got taken there on a lot of school trips; it and the easily-confused Buckland Abbey are both really gorgeous places to visit. *removes Devon Tourism Board hat*
