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

while I'm here, anybody else heard a rumor that Channel 5 have signed up Jerry Springer to co-present there coverage of the big night ?

Yup, I heard this a while ago. At first I thought 'typical C5'. But now it seems strangely appropriate.
Picture the scene. The 'Jerry Springer Election Show'. Blair, Hague and Kennedy sitting on the stage. The audience going 'whoo whoo whoo'. The title of the show something like 'I Thought You Were Socalist, But You're Just A Tory Tramp'. The protaganists hitting each other with rolled up copies of their manifestoes.
You just know that Question Time will be like this in five years...

It isn't already?

I know JS is doing a show "Greed" for C5 - I'm not sure if this is the Election Special or not!

One can only hope so (now JS pesenting QT would b something else )

Can you imagine the Scandal that would come out!?

Q: which politicians would make the best Guests for a Jerry Springer Show?

Easy. Jack Straw, Anne Widdecombe, Ian Paisley and Dennis Skinner. Fireworks guaranteed

but who slept with who ?

Given the headlines today, I'd say we don't need Jerry Springer after all

Yeah, But John Prescott would be a good Guest - bound to end in a fight!!

its been entertaining, I didn't realize the WWF were moving into politics...

I never realised that Big Daddy was an endangered specied (WWF = World Wildlife Fund before whatever wrestling acronym it does today!)

I'm not going to get into this argument, both organizations use the acronym and I trust that in most cases people are intelligent enough to work out which organization is being referred to from he context. And that's all I have to say on the subject.

Remember when we could talk politics ..? http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F19585?thread=86212

yes...

the memories eh...

Ah, yes, fangs for the memories....
