    Have either of you watched this show? It’s a late night adult chat show that may on occasion contain some colourful language. He's not Gordon effin' Ramsay FFS.

    I find the idea of over zealous censorship far more offensive than anything I might hear on the BBC.

    Hear Hear!

    I used to hate Mary Whitehouse when I was a debauched teenager but now I think she might have had a point.

    Woss is a foulmouthed oaf. He devalues the currency of swearing by tossing around Fs and Cs like they are the pennies of the English language rather than the big denominations they are.

    There's nothing wrong with swearing in the right context, but Woss (and Brand and similar idiots) use these words very lightly, as an excuse for humour.

    It was mostly good fun I thought, even though all the bad swearing was edited out!
    Quite right too.

    About time the Controllers of the shows started cleaning up their act.

    If "Wossy" can't be trusted to keep it clean, then it befalls to the programme editors to oversee the process, and I positively encourage that.

    Even if I didn't watch the show, and don't watch TV in general, I am pleased that we might be seeing a return to more responsible programming.

    Welll I used to watch it and watched it again tonight with renewed interest especially after reading the daily mail article which predicted lots of swearing.

    WHS.

    I hate all forms of sport, especially football.

    Oh wait, I see what you mean.

    I think JR is quite a funny guy, but I don't really like the persona he uses on his show. He did an interview on Chris Moyles' show a little while ago and was just a fairly normal, quite funny guy.

    On a board full of Tory-loving, climate change-denying, arrogant contractors? Who do you think buys his books?

    Shame he'll have to tone down his humour this time round.

    I would have enjoyed him taking the tulip out of Tom Cruise.

    Why do you like Clarkeson? Have you ever met him and had a conversation with him and somehow concluded that was not a spoiled brat and a complete oaf?

    Certainly is.

    Don't you have better things to do than go online killing people?

    I don't play WoW anymore however. After 3 years I got fed up with it. the guild is still going strong however, and in to our 3rd year.

    I'm playing DDO with friends which is a lot more enjoyable.
