Is anyone else a fan?

I've namechanged in honour of it

Brian Cox

I'm not being negative or anything, but I don't get why Izzy and her colleague were so awe-struck by HG - not a major celeb is he?

we love hugh

The thing is, here's the thing.

The thing is, Hugh Grant is, like, totally HOLLYWOOD.

We love Hollywood.

stonecircle the fact of the matter is, I think they were impressed that he got a well-known name but also that Will didn't know who he was. Not that this is my area at all though and you'll know more than me about how you feel about it.

Bore you beat me to it and yours was much better!!

VERY GOOD VERY STRONG!

Yes. Exactly.

Hurrah!

Christ!

hurrah!

Sophie Raworth was brilliant - she injected such contempt into 'So-called'

I think Anna walking into the glass wall is now my all-time favourite comedy moment. Even surpasses Del Boy's fall at the wine bar.

And her subsequent ramblings - you can take that skirt off .... were superb.

She was great going into that door. Anna is slightly mad i think.

Brilliant interview by Ian. Im sure ive actually heard someone from the Beeb say this very speech in the past.

I swear Anna is based on one of our bosses. Who has the same name.....

I know that none of them have a point, but i am puzzled by Siobhan.
Why is she always in the meetings? Does she show up because she can - why dont they question why she is there? She heads up a production company, would she even need to be there about a swing band axe? I know its a comedy etc and she is funny, but its annoying!

Here's the thing. Right. Siobhan is the PR consultant employed to protect and promote the BBC's image. Hence the relentless commentary on what Twitter is saying. Presumably she was at the meeting to advise on how to rescue the big band situation. I assume ....

Cool. Love meetings

Some gems in here!

Everyone above a certain management level / ambition quota knows that consultants are better, because they're, like, consultants. So they turn up everywhere. Which is why when I was a civil servant people were being advised to get out if they wanted to get ahead, presumably then coming back with lots of experience and wotnot and not leaving and never going back ever like I did.

Exactly. Right. Yes.

I did once honestly have a meeting to discuss what we discussed in the meeting the before. With exactly the same people so it's not like we were 'cascading', 'touching base' or 'filling the gaps in the baseboard'.

I have to report that I'm totally loving this. Yeah.

I did an interview last week where the person interviewing me said every single thing in response to me as like a script reading from W1A.

I was totally on board with it, like totally.

Reader, I've got the position! Yeah!

GEORGE!!!

Cool!

Lots Fun, yeah.
