Used to be funny and smart

Warning: Spoilers
Now it's just sniping with half-hearted presentation from guest hosts. Some are better than others but still down to the teleprompter.

I was a big fan through the 90s into early 00s but the guests often have no idea of what is going on, or just there to try being funny.

Time to let it end. Much as I like Paul Merton, even he looks embarrassed to be there. Hislop has always been a spiteful little sod and while he may occasionally come out with a zinger, it's soon overshadowed.

I watched the most recent one hosted by Richard Ayoade who is better suited to sitcoms (IT Crowd) and lighter fare (Travel Man / Gadget Man). Most of it was poking at Mick Lynch the Union Leader with the same jokes over and over, he probably will be having words with his agent.
