Last night's episode was almost unwatchable. I don't think any other programme has gone downhill as much as this one. It's not funny and it's not satirical.

I get the feeling it's now simply for the BBC to pat itself on the head that it's doing mainstream satire.

You know I'm right.

We saw it filmed this week, definitely a quiet news week! Most of Judi Love's jokes were edited out, she definitely said more than made the edit.

Sheila Hancock was brilliant last week. I want to be like her at that age.

Some episodes are better than others but sometimes it's hilarious. The cringiest ever was with Paula Yates many years ago and the worst ever was with Jimmy Savile - how he got away with things so long is a mystery - shortly followed by Russell Brand.

Bruce Forsyth was one of the stand out hosts 😆

Oh I still love it. Sometimes it doesn't land as well but they still can pack a punch.

I hate it with a passion

I always enjoy it, it’s like a group of dads making dad jokes. Harmless and fun.

Judi’s whole shtick seems to be “I fancy men”. She didn’t add much.
