The Children's Off Topic Thread

[Mervyn and Trish]

Naga Munchetty is normally quite easy to watch and listen to, except when she gets on her high horse.
I remember when she took over presenting a revamped Working Lunch some time after Adrian Chiles left, she never gelled with Adam Shaw, who I always quite liked, and poor Adam seemed to be sidelined quite quickly afterwards, perhaps she was just showing her ruthless streak.

Now there's someone I've never liked. And never noticed his shoes either.

A lovely looking woman but she does like the sound of her own voice.

Don't they all ... just saying

Dangerous ground Moby

[Mervyn and Trish]

Shall we have a whip round for grapes to send to Moby in A&E?

[Manoverboard]

That's very kind if of you, I deo prefer the green ones if truth be told ( albeit one in each ear )

[Stephen]

You'd better clench your cheeks cos I think that's where they'll end up......but going the opposite way.

Has anyone else been watching Kate & Koji, the new seaside comedy on ITV starring Brenda Blethyn and Jimmy Akingbola, it has me laughing out loud.

[Stephen]

No. .

[Manoverboard]

Nor me .... what's it about ?

[Mervyn and Trish]

It's about Kate and Koji. I heard....

Check it out on catch up or box sets, ITVhub, they are only half hour episodes, so it wont be too taxing for you all.

Full of adverts then, I do so much prefer the BBC

There is only one advert break in a half hour show, and watching a recorded version enables you to wizz through the adverts, or you can use them as a toilet break, or to top up your wine glass. Very useful things advert breaks.

Except you can't skip the ads on ITV hub. Great if you've recorded it yourself though. Our recorder remote has a button that skips 2 minutes at a go. So two presses and the average ad break is gone.

I used the ' Search ' box on SKY and located 6 episodes, the first is downloading as I type .... it'd better be good.

Well we do have similar tastes in politics, so lets hope that extends to comedy as well.

We only ever watch news and sport live, and the news is driving me mad currently, and there is no live sport so they are both of the menu, for everything else we wizz through the adverts.

I was going to say the same thing. Bl**dy annoying having to wait for he ads to finish.

One of my favourites as well, as was Outnumbered, which was written by the same team as Kate & Koji.

We loved Outnumbered. Does this one use the same semi improvised technique?

[Manoverboard]

No, there are no precocious children in this one, but lots of interesting characters, that have grown during the series.
