Nadine Dorries sits at the peak , Truss a close second. Ben Fogle, I mean, he is famous for what, being polite ? None of them are household names but I see your Nadine Dorries and raise you Angela Rayner, Dawn Butler, David Lammy and Diane Abbott. Ben Fogle is an alright TV presenter. Easy on the eye for the ladies, popular in the home counties (probably).

YES! Gina Yashere. Always mouthing off about racism, but if she wasn't black she wouldn't have any comedy career at all. That's just a fact. That's a bit much, isn't it? I mean, I think she's pretty shit, too, but I'm far from convinced that being black leads to a successful career in comedy. Richard Blackwood would never have had a career in comedy if he wasn't black. If you want a more recent example of non-white "comedians" who inexplicably have careers who also play the race card because it helps their career then look at the dreadful Nish Kumar. The BBC has form for this sort of thing predictably. See also the likes of Romesh Ranganathan (somehow popular on the BBC for reasons I cannot understand), Shazia Mirza and the hopelessly unfunny but "award winning" Omid Djalili. I'm sure there are others now. What was that black British sketch show of a couple years back? It looked fucking terrible!

The last funny British sketch show I saw was Limmy's Show which was genuinely original.

Never underestimate the power of a great set of tits. She was spectacular. A real English beauty. And she still looks hot today.

I mean, I think she's pretty shit, too, but I'm far from convinced that being black leads to a successful career in comedy. To be honest I think its true. She made it at a time when there were very few black female comedians. Credit to her for pushing open the door and all that. But her being a comedian is as obviously pointless as 'Johnny Vegas as ballet dancer' or 'Harry Redknapp as Professor of Classics at Cambridge'.

Ant and Dec have won every TV award since before they were even conceived, but aren't they actually really shit? The fucking delivery of their jokes to a forced-cackling crew on I'm a Celeb is the absolute nadir of modern TV. Can't stand those Santander ads they do. Really awful.

They were actually alright on that I'm A Celebrity... They have an easy going sort of charm, rooted in the fact they've know each other since Biker Grove days. I can see the appeal even if I never see 'em these days. They're likeable chappies you could take home to your granny.

They getting worse too as they get older, I didn't mind them so much 15 years ago. We need the one with the massive forehead to crash his car again when pissed.

Ant and Dec are superlative entertainers. It's very difficult to dislike them even if they are amoebas in terms of cultural value.

Ant and Dec are superlative entertainers. I picture you in a smoking jacket, cravat and holding a glass of brandy when you say that.

I used to watch I'm A Celebrity for a while, however, and they were good on that. They'd go off script a bit and they had that knowing quality where they took the piss, threw in some innuendo and some wink wink, nudge nudge stuff. I get why people liked them. As usual, some struggle to see things objectively in any kind of way. Sure, in the scheme of things Ant and Dec are small fry, a couple of fellas from the north east who somehow ended up presenting all these shows and making a fortune but they are good at what they do.

"Their peak years were definitely represented by their endlessly entertaining contributions to I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. I feel this is were their double act reached a symbiotic plateau where Declan's smooth, straight man persona blended effortlessly with Anthony McPartlin's impish, schoolboy charm. In fact, series 5 featuring Ken Morley, Dean Gaffney and Gillian McKeith surely represents an artistic high point for mainstream TV entertainment in the noughties...."
