Summer on Radio 1

[John]

It was funny. I think Preston over-reacted on the show, but what an amazing studio visit that lad had who replaced him! How many of us was wishing they we're at that recording?

[Bexy]

I need someone to remind me when it's on, I keep on missing it!

[Mafro]

You could tell straight away that Preston couldn't be arsed.

[goldengirl]

He just didn't seem like he was in the mood for a ribbing! Bless him, it is just the wrong show to go on if you don't like having people make fun of you!

Personally I wouldn't last 5 minutes on there! I'd be away in tears! lol

Did anyone see the Britney one they were talking about? They said she had walked off too? I never saw that

[Bexy]

I watched the repeat tonight, I think it was the funniest thing I've seen in ages!

I think Preston was acting like a complete idiot walking off, when barely anything was said to him. I do remember an interview with him before where he said that he didn't like people insulting Chantelle, but like other people have said, you can't go on the show and not expect them to take the pi$s!

I don't think anything of what was said was meant in a nasty way, and Preston should've taken it like that. But obviously he didn't...

[Monitorabbit]

Simon Amstell seemed quite suprised, didn't he. The audience member - was he genuinely a member of the public? He was actually better looking than Preston, nice to look at even if he couldn't do the quiz itself. Definitely a better choice than the infamous "tub of lard" on HIGNFY, in my opinion.

[Kelly]

Tub of lard? *is confused*

[goldengirl]

*is joining Kelly96 on the confused side of the room*

[Monitorabbit]

When a guest didn't turn up they had a lilteral tub of lard sit in for him,sorry for causing confusion.

"When Roy Hattersley failed to appear for the 4 June 1993 episode — it was the third time he had cancelled at the last minute — he was replaced with a tub of lard (credited as "The Rt. Hon. Tub of Lard MP"), as it was "possessed of much the same qualities and liable to give a similar performance". The Tub of Lard was on Merton's team and, though Hislop suggested things were too formal and suggested he call the 'guest' "Tubby", Merton insisted: "Mr Lard to you." He and the lard went on to win. This was despite the fact that Merton's team's questions were made deliberately hard — especially those directly posed to his 'guest'. " (from wikipedia)

[Kelly]

Oh my God I have to see that! *legs it to YouTube*

[sebdevlin]

Here it is in all its glory - Paul merton holds it together

[Grace]

Phil's impression of Jason from TT is uncanny.

"I wanna stop the bad stoof."

[goldengirl]

lol @ Simon Amstell giving them all a lollipop for staying to the end!

[Monitorabbit]

The lad from Skins didn't say much, but he sat and looked pretty - I'd rather have seen the one who plays Sid myself, but maybe he's not a music fan.

[Monitorabbit]

[goldengirl]

I want a new series to start! The last series was far to short and I only just "got" Simon Amstell as it ended!!!

[Bumble_85]

Mmmm Simon Amstell with his lovely hair.

[goldengirl]

I was never a fan before but once you 'get' him he's actually quite funny! & a bit cute too, tho gay

[Bumble_85]

I love watching the interviews he did with Mcfly on Popworld. Especially the one where they have space hopper races. Lol

The episode with Simon Amstell and John Barrowman on was one of the funniest ones I've ever seen

[Grace]

I watched that one yesterday Bumble, with the guy with the hat in the line up, I was actually crying with laughter.

[goldengirl]

I thought the one where Preston walked off in the huff was hilarious!!!

[Bumble_85]

That poor man from the audience didn't know what to do hehe

I might have to go and watch the last series all over again now. Such a hardship
