it had that actress from grange hill francessa martinez (is that her name) who has CP. apparently she does stand-up comedy now, frank was trying so hard to be politically correct, but she was just being so funny. had me in stitches especially her 'knock down ginger' story.
was great to see someone with CP making a success in an industry that is very focused on what is perchieved as normal.

She's great, isn't she misdee? I love her. Frank was pretty cringeworthy though, wasn't he?

i thought she was great, i loved the bit about her sitting still in the nightclub to look normal

Thought she was great. Liked the boyfriend walking backwards so she could 'storm off'. Frank, as ever, horribly creepy.

Frank was very rough with Jordan too. I don't like her....( though i've never seen her interviewed before and she seemed quite nice!), when she was talking about kiss and tells he said "well.they all deny it!". I just thought that was plain nasty!

I have seen a couple of documentaries about Jordan (she's called Katie really, isn't she?) and she comes across as a v nice girl. Pity about the image! Not keen on F Skinner at all.

well i usualy see her in mags and stuff with her boobs out but she came across really nice and said she'd slept with less than ten men! .......i wanted her to come back with a bitning remark!

No I missed it, is it repeated?

Frank Skinner always strikes me as the type to have dirty underpants.

bunny2 · 07/10/2003 20:01

sorry

lou33 · 07/10/2003 20:10

Lol bunny

bossykate · 07/10/2003 20:17

happyspider · 13/10/2003 21:54

bunny, funny you say that, because it is exactly what I think of him!

francesca is great,i agree he's revolting,shelly from coronation street was on tonight,has anyone noticed how bad she is at crying?

A bit of background - Frank's been criticised more than two time by 'Disability Now' on his non PC comments regarding people with disabilities so I reckon this was his feeble attempt to try and set things right Francesca was brilliant through!

I actually like Frank Skinner and think he's hilarious, must be a Brummie thing and maybe the fact my Dad and Grandad were Baggies supporters!

lou33 · 23/10/2003 18:48

I like him too Fio, I'm not a Brummie though
