The Donny Tourette show had me in stitches! He just didn't "get" it did he?

Loved when they were talking about Bands who have done a TV show being flops and kept zooming in on him saying "Can't think of anyone else"

Yeah, that bit was brilliant. There was also:

Donny: "Simon, here's what I think of you" *grabs his crotch*

Simon: "You think of me...a small penis?"

And:

Bill: "You're about as punk as Enya"

Donny: "Oi son, you're one of these" *does w*nker hand gesture*

Bill: "What? A hand?"

If you're going on NMTB then you should expect to be ripped apart. Mark Lamarr was far more caustic than Simon Amstell and yet I don't think anyone ever walked off during his tenure as host?

I think there are times for jokes and times when it's better just to keep schtum (public forums/the internet seldom being a good place for jocularity due to translation/misinterpretation problems with some people which can arise), but in this instance I think Preston was just being a moody b*****d!

Best Amstell quote:

"Yes that is right, I am a homosexual"

Peter Cook said the exact same thing on a chat show in the 60s to Zsa Zsa Gabor after she took offence at something he said - she had a handbag dog and was going " I adore him!" sort of thing (it was a long time ago, exact words not known) Peter Cook said said it was cruel bringing the dog on under hot studio lights. Zsa Zsa said "I don't like you! And I don't like your fringe and the way you look" I think she said something implying he was gay (less than acceptable at the time I don't think it was even legal yet) to which he replied with almost the exact words above in a completely deadpan tone which threw the silly vain b*tch completely! :D

A legendary story to Peter Cook fans, don't think it exists on tape - shame!

Hmm probably just killed my own thread - ha ha threadicide

UM is a nice place

    • There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first. 
    • It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?
    • Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also
    • For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?
    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg. 
    • They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!
    • How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it? 
    • I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!
    • A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.     
    • So pleased for Scott on his best entertainment show win. As much as I miss his R1 style, he clearly puts so much into his shows, well deserved and it’s a big two fingers up to all the abuse he has had since joining R2
