Re: What's your favourite team combination?

I rather liked Aimi MacDonald, although i didn't really like Nicholas' flirting, but let's not restrict to Aimi because Nicholas has flirted with plenty of other ladies on the program quite frankly, but what I did enjoy was when the other male panelists would flirt with Aimi.

and although Nick has given her the subject or been chivalrous to her on numerous occasions, there have been more times when he's been downright UNchivalrous to her even though she was clearly in the right.

besides those moments when Nick would leave the subject with Aimi just added to the comedy, because Aimi possesses a charm that's quite infectious. any time you heard her speak, you wanted to hear more from her, and not to mention the moments of chaos that are generated when she screws up are hilarious, and also when Nicholas tries to be chivalrous to her, it also elicites some outrageous comments from the likes of Kenneth, because for the most part whenever Ken would say 'We should never have had women on this show', it was usually in regards to Aimi.

at least that's how I'm sure most other people feel about Aimi's involvement with the show, if you didn't like her, that is sad, but hey, we all have our own favorites and non-favorites.

however, I do agree that I would love it if Miriam Margolyes came back, the same with Michael Palin. Hell, it'd be great if John Cleese or Eric Idle appeared on Just a Minute.

Of course the lovely Sheila was used again but that is some years ago
now and she needs to be heard again!! Lets start a petition!!

Am I the only one who doesn't like Aimi MacDonald? I find her giggly
schoolgirl act makes me cringe, and the shows she appeared in were
slowed down by Nicholas' attempts to flirt, and be chivalrous, giving
her the subject over and over at the expense of the other players and
the game...

Of the older guests I'd like to See Miriam Margolyes, Sandi Toksvig
and Prunella Scales make a re-appearance. .... and for the men Michael
Palin and Ian Hislop...

Got a little couch potato?
