There's now a new focus on team captains and the guest hosts have been good but do you still miss Amstell's catty wit? When host Simon Amstell left Never Mind the Buzzcocks to kickstart his stand-up career and write new sitcom Grandma's House , many fans of the show felt Amstell's catty wit would be almost irreplaceable. As one confused-by-the-concept-of-proper-nouns poster on YouTube explained in...
This is a ranty, bitter blog. So sorry in advance. It is entirely my fault that its ranty and bitter and entirely to do with getting home last night, after having a couple of drinks, and then googling myself. Its something you're not meant to do and certain stronger willed comics say they never have done and never will. I don't believe them. Curiosity and constant need for attention are both driving...
Last weeks comments were rather reticent but having now seen the full results for all Leagues it seems proper to add a little detail. Bob's magnificent score of 39 whilst being equalled by the Albion's John Hargreaves was other wise only beaten by Mark Watson's astounding 54 in the A League. The overall score of 144 beat all teams in the B and C Leagues and whilst being equalled by one in the A League...

By Chris Tobias Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a critical issue across Asia. From local companies to multi-national conglomerates, how successfully business interacts with its environs and community is of supreme importance. The recent CSR-Asia Conference held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia gave some worthwhile perspectives in a region home to roughly 60% of the world's population. But how many...

a new opinion on www.dooyoo.co.uk about Mark Watson - Can I briefly talk to you about the point of life? written by durhamapple This man is naturally hilarious. He's lives in Bristol but for some bizarre reason performs his stand up using a gruff welsh accent, but I'm not complaining because everything that comes out of his mouth seems funnier. He's clean and doesn't swear ...
Professional photographer (and Nikon ambassador) Mark Watson heard about an interesting phenomena. In a certain area of Australia, there is a rare cloud formation know as the "Morning Glory. Mark shot video and still pictures of these clouds for the Red Bull Glorious Days project.
For the past 3 days i've been down at Stephen Street Studios in London to watch the recording of We Need Answers hosted by Mark Watson, Tim Key and Alex Horne. Tuesday's recording (with guests Vanessa Feltz and Simon Bird) was one of the best in the series so far. The on-set banter between Simon (from the Inbetweeners), Tim and Mark was very funny. There were a lot of childish jokes, my favourite being...

Yes it's that time again. This week I went to a couple of very different comedy nights - the rather genteel Bottle Rocket at the New Players Theatre on Sunday, and the unwieldy Monkey Business at the basement Caramel Bar, Kentish Town on Thursday. Different then, but both a lot of fun and both featuring Stephen Merchant, a man who is very much 'doing the rounds' at the moment, building up to what he...
Last night and the night before I went to the recording of We Need Answers for BBC4 which is hosted by Mark Watson, Tim Key and Alex Horne. Terry Christian and Camilla Dallerup were the contestants on the first night, and last night we had Aggie MacKenzie and Peter Tatchell. I enjoyed the first recording slightly more as the guests were excellent. Don't get me wrong the second night was good too, it...
