Mark Albrighton Posted December 19, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 19, 2023 My mate somehow found himself with tickets for it one year, 2007 I believe, so I ended up attending at the NEC. Joe Calzaghe won, but my main memory is the standing ovation Bobby Robson received for his lifetime achievement award. In reality it was about a minute or so long, but at the time in the audience it felt like it was at least 5 minutes. Then going out drinking in broad street on a Sunday night. Ah to be 24 again.

Paddy McGuinness has the touch of the grim reaper! I used to love QoS, and I watched if for far longer than a lot of people. But the series with Paddy were absolutely **** terrible. To be fair to him, it wasnt' really his fault. He was ok as the host. They just had captains and guests with absolutely no chemistry whatsoever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coincidentally that sounds a bit like Top Gear with its painfully forced bantz between the hosts who really had no chemistry either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Phil Tuffnell and Matt Dawson were the end for me, I liked it a lot up to then, Matt Dawson in particular was a real chore to watch. Also getting rid of What happens next in favour of pissing about in the studio was a problem. I watched a few under Paddy McGuinness but the damage was pretty much done for me when he took over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted December 20, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 20, 2023 I always used to support Ian Botham’s team as I didn’t really know who Bill Beaumont was. I would occasionally have to swap allegiance as whenever Dean Saunders was a guest he would typically be on Bill’s team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Tuffnell and Dawson had chemistry (and Barker). It still felt like a fun show even if they weren't your cup of tea. That had completely disappeared with the new lineup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure what that was about. I suppose they were more ubiquitous back then, maybe it was a “when I grow up…” aspirational thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Paddywhack Posted December 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2023 (edited) This kind of thing has been talked about before on here, but The Grimleys was first made in 1997 and set in 1975. That's only 22 years difference, but the difference in the music, the fashion, the attitudes etc is huge. I remember watching it as a kid and felt like ancient history. I reckon if you showed a kid today a TV show that was set in 2001, I don't think they would notice too much, apart from maybe the phones and computers being a bit rubbish.
