h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I am inclined to the idea of bringing back Angus after a suitable period in Purdah. I would certainly not watch the programme if Anne Robinson got the job.
In the mean time here are a few recommendations for guest chairperson:

Eddie Mair (Broadcasting House)

Simon Hoggart (The News Quiz)

Humphrey Littleton (ISIHAC)

and (a bit of a dark horse). . . .

Terry Wogan!

it was really funny when anne robinson was on but it wouldn'y last though

I only saw a bit of the Anne Robinson one and thought it was the worst thing since Gareth Gates

You don't have to agree with me, though.

AR not good. BJ upset pm. coconut not pink, not good. me crazy, but metinks some dude should go on. howsbout dnas spirit?

Who?

Gareth Gates.... now there's a thought!?! The BBC would have to set aside a couple of hours each week for the show but at least the presenter couldn't blame Ian and Paul for not being able to get a word in edgeways.

Very cruel on Gareth Gates.
The show clearly needs someone with maturity and experience - although obviously not of the sort of experience Deayton embraced at every opportunity.
No one seems to have commented on Liza Tarbuck yet? I thought she was a good host/chair but it stopped at that. Did someone omit to tell her that humour was also required in the chair?

I never saw Liza's attempt. I daresay she wasn't too bad.

i dont because gareth gates is brillient and hes really good-lokking too

every time i write a reply it puts it in the wrog place and by the way he's hardly got a stammer any more

did it only occur to people in my school that the whole stammer thing was a load of crap made up as a publicity stunt... it had apparently been like that all his life, then in 6 months its practically gone. he's a stupid phoney.

but back to HIGNFY, Liza Turbuck was poor. She was overawed and over powered by Ian and Paul. The new permanent presenter is meant to be in place by the next series, and it has to be someone with a strong personality. Anne Robinson, Jeremy Clarkson, even Charles Kennedy. they can face ian and paul, but Liza T couldn't.

you have got to be joking he would't do that in a million years why on earth would he want to spend his entire life not being able to talk properly. nd then go on acourse to get it sorted.

got that HE WENT ON A COURSE CALLED THE MACGUIRE PROGRAME IN MANCESTER AND NOW HE CAN NEARLY TALK NORMALLY IT'S AMAZING BUT IT'S NOT A HOAX

conveniently timed with the way in progressively got better as the original Pop Idol or Pop Stars or whatever crap it was called continued.

of course he's not going to say it suddenly got better, he's gonna make up some hunk-of-junk that people buy. Notice how it wasn't progressive - it just suddenly was noticable.

but back to HIGNFY...

Yeah, let's not waste our time with Gareth Gates. Although, I have to say, it goes in his favour that he can actually play the piano. Pity he hid it under a bush for months on end.

no he didn't just people dint realise how talanted and the course was just really good and it helped him a lot
