Binge watching sex and the city thanks to a horrendous cold.

The jukes and mimi viewing between Miranda and Robert is hilariously cringeworthy but also v v funny...

Whenever an American guest is on a British chatshow and they don't get the references or jokes that the other guests are talking about and just sit there politely smiling along and awkwardly laughing.

EverySongbird are you a digitalspy fan per chance?

Hesterton - WTAF? I'm literally aghast.

Richard Dawson hosted Family Feud and kissed grown women. Fergie Olver kissed little girls who obviously didn't like it, but their mother's were SAT RIGHT NEXT TO THEM and let it happen. Eeew! So very very creepy and yes, very 1970's. Ugh.

Leo Sayer having a tantrum on Big Brother and telling everyone to fuck off

A host interviewing Samuel L Jackson and confusing him for Laurence Fishburne. Samuel L Jackson was very offended and it was all sooo awkward.

When the people on the sofa have no idea who Bob Downe is

Penvelopesnightie · 11/10/2016 22:32

Oh yes The Royal It's A Knockout . They should actually reintroduce it every Xmas but as a pantomime with all the lesser royals in so we can all have a laugh at them taking themselves so seriously . Prince Edward could still be in charge as he's the drippiest Royal by far .

MargotLovedTom · 11/10/2016 22:32

Wanderings what happened next in the Little Britain sketch?!

YodellingForJesus · 11/10/2016 22:32

He licked a girl's arm? I must have blanked that from my memory. Ugh.

There was a singer from the 60s/70s who was supposedly performing live on This Morning, years back when it was broadcast from Liverpool Docks. He was out on the water, and started miming, only for the backing track to fail.
Anyone know who that was?

The chat show with George Best and Omar Sharif as guests. George B was absolutely pissed. When Omar talked about an actress he'd worked with, George sniggered "Did she have big tits?" The camera moved quickly to Omar 's shocked face, and he changed the subject, and when the camera moved back, there was an empty chair, George had been whisked away.....

EverySongbirdSays I watch Friends a lot and have never seen anything homophobic! Shock

BabyGanoush · 11/10/2016 22:36

Charles and Diana being interviewed on their engagement. They were asked if they were in love, and he replied, after a slight pause, "well... whatever love is."
Her face! She should have cut and run right then.
