Nah, best game show of them all was the one where a 6ft 3 Nazi poster boy in Gestapo gear flies around the countryside in Airwolf shooting people in the back with his wrist laser to stop them being able to open a box of money they're desperately looking for the key for. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

If you'd have asked me before it happened I'd have said it was about as likely as me becoming an olympic athlete (in any discipline but sumo) I saw Andrew Lawrence a few years ago after my friend and I saw a couple of things he did on Live at the Apollo or something like that and liked the weird hyper silly voices and rants he did. He was funny but the audience was so small he couldn't really build up any energy or rapport with us so it was kind of flat. And he repeated a few jokes wjich I didn't notice until my friend pointed it out when we got home.

The trailer I saw ended with a clip of someone carrying a coffin saying something like "I think this has Noel's career in it." I got the strong impression the whole thing is a big joke that everybody except the host is in on.

I like the character. Saw the Angelos and Barry live show and it was a lot of fun. Just watching Cheap Cheap Cheap and holy poo poo this is surreal. All the awkward standing around and nervous laughter from the contestants. It's pretty embarrassing.

But Evans's schtick is the same loving show day in, day out. It's the same jingles played at the same time, the same links in the exact same manner, sometimes the same loving records in the same time. And that's before we get to his forced "banter" with everyone on the show, the cringeworthy nicknames everyone has to have (Frothy Coffee Man is the loving worst) and then there's this description from the UKMT in D&D or even earlier in this thread about him: "Shouty twat basically gets paid money to advertise his own car festival, and whatever fun thing he has organised for himself for children in need." In short, Evans has almost killed my love of radio

I know he's not well loved around here but I think Russell Brand's best work is on the radio. When, and only when, he is paired with Matt Morgan who a. is funnier and b. expertly punctures Brand's pomposity. Russell (almost) always takes it in good humour, so it makes him come across as less of an arse than he does solo.

In the intervening years, I have developed more sensible reasons to find Evans grating first thing in the morning. Of the people he's had sitting in for him, I think Sara Cox getting the breakfast show would be less tedious. Or even Craig Charles, who's sat in for him before and who I find more a lot more personable (I think Evans seems pretty put-on a lot of the time).

I totally agree with Cox as a more permanent replacement partly because she seems more genuine, and also because everytime she's on air, I get the distinct feeling she's going to at some point take the show off the air through some sort of inadvertent accident pushing of the wrong button

Also Noel is hilarious. Leave him alone, you.

Russell Brand is a great entertainer in the right dose imo, too much of him and you'll think he's the loving worst but in bits and pieces I think he's a genuinely funny and smart guy and he'll be good value on whatever TV or radio thing he's on. I also look back fondly on his REBrand series where he made some pretty stupid documentaries like one where he meets the youth leader of the BNP or one where he wanks off a guy in the pub toilets just to see what it's like

I'll always remember that Owen Jones column header Russell Brand is supporting Ed Miliband... and David Cameron should be worried.

Russell Brand also gave us Ponderland, which is a genuinely great series. Also, the new series of People Just Do Nothing has started on iplayer, and it's just as good as the previous series.

I'm always amazed that Brand managed any sort of career considering just how loving terrible he was presenting MTV's Dance Chart back in the late 1990s/early 2000s

I watched an episode of REBrand and I've never seen anyone on drugs this much. It's extremely turn-of-the-century.
