Annoying BBC lovey? Stephen Fry is a national treasure - an accomplished actor, writer, presenter, wit and raconteur.

I agree with you about Toksvig - she ticks every "annoying" box there is - crap voice, crap sense of humour, opinionated dyke, opinionated feminist. She probably supports Palace...

Confused. In your opinion is she opinionated about gay issues and equality or just opinionated about lots of stuff and is gay and a woman?

The same Osman who made a complete **** of himself on HIGNFY recently?
That got very cringey very quickly.

Clearly nobody else was going to instigate the 'elephant in the room' opinions, and I thought Osman started well.
But he just took it too far, so much so I thought even the audience was siding with Clarkson.

Yes he did which was a bit odd as he's normally quite funny but obviously not a Clarkson fan. Still a rematch on QI would make good viewing hopefully next time Clarkson will come out swinging. :catfight:

"Clarkson will come out swinging."

No, the 21st Century Flash-Man, you think?

I couldn't cope, it was funny enough in"Viz" when they sketched him copulating a car-exhaust.:facepalm:

If she converts to Islam the BBC have got PC Bingo.

OK Trivia question - who was originally pencilled in to present QI ?

I thought I was the only one. They are recording in Brighton on Sunday if you want to lurk at the stage door.
The last thing any smart and funny woman needs for her self esteem is knowing she's attracted the likes of me, as a fan boy.

Toksvig?

Didn't she claim recently that she was in the running to host HIGN4U before Deayton, so it wouldn't surprise me if she thought she was owed this one too.

Personally I don't think losing SF is a big loss as he has looked like he was bored of the show for at least 3 series now. I think that Osman would have been a far better replacement though.
Another improvement would be to stop booking Sue Perkins as a guest. She has a 0.0002% success rate for her humorous comments.

I've got nothing against being gay or feminist but I find it annoying when she bats on about it ALL the time, be it on QI, HIGNFY, QT.

I speak as an employer who already does all the equal stuff she's campaigning for with a workforce of 7 of which I am the only bloke and one of my staff is about to go on maternity leave. I'd rather she ****ed off to the Middle East and did her campaigning there where there is GENUINE inequality - it'd be a win-win situation; either they'd reform their antiquated sexist laws or flog / behead her, either of which is fine by me.
