It was one of those Friday night late shows. Can't remember who hosted but can see his face in my head. Will know if someone says.

Had daft games on it, normally a bit juvenile and very generally quite shit.

This is completely vague but am hoping some suggestions may help.

Was definitely on the right lines with The Word. That sort of show. Late night, pissed people aiming at a target audience of pissed people, lots of semi clad females, loud music and idiotic behaviour. Sort of like a pub on tv without the smell.

According to his IMDB he was on one episode of The Word.

Mark lemar was a presenter on the word, I'm sure I remember the girls dancing in school uniforms.

Ooh, sounds promising. How do I find this clip? Every time I put in Piers Morgan on youtube (even The Word in the search bar) I get a zillion hitsf from other stuff.

PNGirl you are a genius!

It is DEFINITELY that one as the odious Peter Stringfellow was one of the other judges.

Can't find the clip but now know exactly what I'm looking for.

Thanks so much.

If I find it, I'll come back and post a link.

Hit man and her?
Pete Waterman and Michaela Strachan went to a different nightclub each week.

Ginkypig · 02/05/2017 20:37

Can we ask why you are looking for it?

splendide · 02/05/2017 20:39

Because Piers is trolling Jack Monroe on Twitter and basically saying his idea of fun is different to theirs.

So I have sent this to Jack so they know what Piers idea of fun is.

I know. Childish and quite possibly a bit goady but really, it's Pier Morgan. He deserves it.

He'll just say it was acceptable in the 80s. Or 90s.

(No idea who Jack Monroe is btw Blush)

I watched The Word. It was trash and fun.

So this is a call out to help JM on Twitter? Confused Rake about for something from 20 years ago...

No it's not a call out to help JM on Twitter. He isn't being particularly nice to Jack so I thought I'd send her the link to the clip.

OP posts:
Sparklingbrook · 02/05/2017 21:39

Well that's the same thing.

Sparklingbrook · 02/05/2017 21:42

Why does she call PM 'Oh my dear boy'? Confused

Anyway she seems to have moved on to going on about kale now.

Well food it her thing. Always was really.

She absolutely doesn't need any back up from anyone. I am pretty confident Jack can hold her own.

Just ask Katie Hopkins.
