Children In Need - the annual cringe

Dadaist · Post by **Dadaist** » 19 Nov 2004, 21:19

Ok, it's for a good cause. But that does not excuse regional television that makes you want to emigrate.

"who are you from?"

"the British Cattle Movement Society"

... etc

At least there was Gail Porter-Hipgrave for Bob. Can't there be some sort of phone vote (proceeds to charity of course) to opt out of the regional bit?

It's like Hogmanay television without the alcohol.

Damn, I missed her. Better turn it on in case she's back on later. But yeah, it's lowest common denominator TV. If only these 'stars' would just offer to donate 5% of their annual salaries we wouldn't have to bother having it at all.

I haven't had any yet. Believe it or not, I've just had some cocoa!!!

Cocoa's good too.....with a shot of brandy

Oh how I envy that devil may care existence that you "living in sin" couples lead

ecm · Post by **ecm** » 19 Nov 2004, 23:54

Hmm - sounds good but no brandy in the house. Would Jack Daniels do, I wonder.

*heads off to kitchen*

bearcub · Post by **bearcub** » 19 Nov 2004, 23:59

Well, it's worth a try

although it does go better with (Diet) Coke

BTW, alcohol in it's many varieties is not the centre of my universe, honest.....no really, honest....

Congrats Bearcub, had you not been making all those posts under the wrong name, you would have got there ages ago.

We're just watching Michael Burke and Andrew Marr doing "Wild Boys" and they are making Jackie & Darius look like quality television.

Presently singing, well humming, along to Travis

Donny looks pretty good these days, doesn't he?

bearcub · Post by **bearcub** » 20 Nov 2004, 00:26

Not been watching at all until the last few minutes but just how SINCERE (

) does Darius look as he's reading out the pledges, reckon that look has been practiced all week!

Although it's for a good cause, yes I do cringe when I realise it's Children in Need Friday again.

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 20 Nov 2004, 00:26

He does. I think he has improved.

I was just watching Jackie B and Darius, the supposed Kiss for a tenner. I suspect if Tom Cruise wanted to kiss her she would turn her face to the bit where the make up would be disturbed least. Am I being unfair?

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 20 Nov 2004, 00:28

ECM we ain't done a TV thread since the Tattoo, The TATTOO and CIN WTF??

and she'd have to bend down a bit too as Tom is apparently a wee short arse.

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 20 Nov 2004, 00:36

I've seen about 5 minutes of it, but it included Gail AND Kylie so it wasn't all bad.
