I loathe TV presenters on panel shows. They are rarely funny but always attention-seeking.
Panellists who annoy you Page 9
Echo Sandi Toksvig. She seems to have broad ability- recently as a writer of drama. But on The News Quiz she grates; it is a bit me, me, me; and her trademark piping intro, "D'you not think...".
And she is always (in her very RP English tones) always banging on about being Danish...
Jimmy Carr if he counts. Alan Davies

Well, she is Danish. The accent she has is one she cultivated from watching Brief Encounter in an attempt to fit in.

...and any bugger who turns up on three different panel games in the course of a week...
Blinky Muppetface?
Sorry, that should be mcmuppetface.
aww! He does look like a muppet!

I suppose she is technically Danish. I mean, technically I'm from Mars, but I don't go on about it.

2) "Is it a wardrobe?" The hugely-annoying Paul 'One-joke' Merton, who must have the same publicist as Stephen Fry;
3) The hugely-annoying Phil Jupitus. Why? Where's the funny?
1) Stephen is quite good at Improvisation comedy. But is better at scripted stuff.
2) Go and see Paul Merton's Improv Chums. I would put money on you not hearing the same joke in the show.
This is a terribly mean-spirited thread, I propose we close it and make daisy-chains instead.
You'd lose your money.
no I WOULD NOT. Saw the show twice at Edinburgh Fringe (2012/13) And it was great.

You must tell us who wrote Fry and Laurie! They should be given a show immediately.

I must be having an off day.
