  12. You have to admire the Tories. They manage to collect swindlers, fraudsters, corrupt bastards and sexual deviants like I collect commemorative 50p and 2 pound coins.

  15. Typical DL Forum as we end up discussing the tallest man on telly in the Munchkins thread! Anyhow, Osman is on the list of the things that I will not miss if he disappeared tomorrow. And in today's telly that's becoming a long long list! (See Joe Lycett's dreadful Friday Night show). I find most of them of little talent and therefore of little interest to me. Of course, I could just be a grumpy old man.

  17. I actually love most of the guest hosts they've used for a few seasons now on mainline Pointless. Even Giles, who I know was a controversial pick for a time. Personally, I think they need to choose one of them and get on with it. Richard... leaving one half of the show but turning up for celebrities is an odd choice as well, and I'm not sure exactly why he still does it. House of Games is not my favourite by a long shot. Not a terribly executed game show, but there's not enough games within it to avoid repeats which get stale after a few weeks. There are better formats out there by a long shot! I can deal with Richard during Pointless Celebrities though. Mostly there to brush up on my C/D/E-list celebrities from the UK I've literally never heard of (don't recall anyone B-list on there by a long shot).

    Political Discussions And Ranting Thread

    A 2 in 1. Alleged Fraud and a good old fashioned Tory sex scandal
  19. I try and avoid Pointless Celebrities now. I've discovered a disliking for that Richard Osman. Yes, he says he is waving goodbye to Pointless but somehow he still manages to turn up for the celebrity edition. He has become one of those people who seems to think that shows involving punters are beneath him, preferring everything celebrity based. That House of Games is a rancid little show. Maybe if only celebrities bought his poxy second rate books, he might have second thoughts. Now I could be wrong, but you never see him without a group of celebrities.
  20. I need to watch more Pointless Celebrities. I tend to watch the normal Pointless more, because the questions seem harder for some reason. I don't know why.

    Mark Menzies has had the Tory Whip suspended after serious allegations in the Times.
  22. On a lighter note, despite looking old around 4 years ago on Pointless Celebrities, we know that Kiran Shah is still kicking, sending his condolences:
  23. Is there a cause of death announced yet? Some outlets are saying long-term sepsis complications, but I haven't seen anything official yet.
  24. I agree with that. My parents saw Julie Andrews stick her fingers up to a group of people which has many fans of her in it.

    Drunk? Bored?? Psychopath???

    I had the same. Changed my password regardless.

    Samantha Davis played a Gringotts Goblin in The Deathly Hallows Part 2. I'm assuming one of those briefly appearing who were counting the money and later didn't survive the dragon's escape from Gringotts.
  27. Sad. His wife was really lovely. Warwick in real life is a bit of a cunt – plays up well to the cameras (never meet your heroes kids).

    Not health related but worth noting that 2010 World Champion Neil Robertson has failed to qualify for The Crucible for the first time in 20 years.
