  • Gone downhill

    Don’t they listen back? Stupid sound effects, awkward laughter for non funny jokes. Charlie is terrible.

  • Sorry but you’ve lost me

    The new show is dreadful and I’m sorry for Charlie but he is no Richard Glover and lacks any of the spontaneity of the show. Charlie is entitled to put his own spin on the show to make it his but he has very big shoes to fill and it’s not working for me.
