He was very successful on the TV ones but less so up against Paul and Clement. Still he's witty, competitive and brings something different to the table from the stand-up comedians so I'll be interested to hear how he goes.

And before my image is further tarnished, I only watched that show because Ross was on it... For what it's worth, Ross's Wikipedia entry say the same thing, though how reliable that is, I couldn't say. ;-)

Looking forward to those shows.

John Bishop has long been one of my favourite panellists on Fighting Talk where he's both funny and talkative. He also has a well-received show on BBC1 TV on Saturday prime-time. We don't get many Scouse accents on JaM and I hope he did well enough to be invited back.

Interesting to hear about the swearing - I wonder if Stephen K Amos will be bleeped or whether it'll be more heavily edited.

Cheers
