All Woman 8 out of 10 cats does Countdown WTAF

[HelenaDove]

Tuned into this and bits of it are quite funny, but the Natalie Cassidy thing is not coming across quite right..............its reminding me a bit of Mean Girls tbh and not in a good way.

Its not coming across well. Its a bit "lets take the piss out of the working class woman and show her up as thick"

I cant articulate it any better than that................im still taking it in.

Oh it has to be seen to be believed. Its nearly finished on Channel 4 now but will be on Channel 4 +1

Its a comedian pretending to be Natalie Cassidy for anyone who isnt watching.

Yes I did think WtF for a bit. It’s making me uncomfortable because she has been introduced as Natalie rather than as herself, the impressionist. What’s the point of an all woman panel if the primary focus is to rip the shit out of another well known female personality?

Did you notice Katherine Ryan referring to them all as cis-gendered in her intro as well?

Yes i did Someone has just tweeted that the comedian is Morgana Robinson.

I agree, I've seen that Natalie Cassidy impression before, it was on a show a few years back.

Impressionism is so dated. There was a celeb pointless of impressionists a few months ago and it was too cringe to even watch. Impressions of Victoria beckham are not interesting or relevant.

However I thought the all woman show was funny.

It’s not just me! What a pile of shite. Also it came across more like a hen night than actual smart and funny women, which they all are.

And yeah, the Natalie Cassidy thing was very strange and unfunny.

it was almost bullying by proxy.

I thought it was hilarious. The laughs come at the comediane as Natalie Cassidy not working class people as a whole. I might be preducdiced because I find her hilarious. "Just doing this now - cleaning me bins!"

"Just doing this now - stealing the show"

Wish Jo Brand had been on there.

Its a comedian pretending to be Natalie Cassidy for anyone who isnt watching.

Thank you for explaining. I saw the show but missed the first few minutes. I thought the woman was actually a comedian called Natalie Cassidy!! I just thought that was her act rather than an impersonation.

Also, all female show.... apart from the men in dresses

"Sitting on the face of self proclaimed male feminists to shut them up"

Yeah

I'm most upset that they were all rubbish at the game. Really let the side down imo.

Sue Perkins would have been good too.

I really like Roisin Conaghty and Jessica Hynes though i really wanted to like this.

Kathy burke would have been brilliant, or Jo Brand

The impressionist just made me think of Keith Lemon, and I can’t stand him

Ooh sue Perkins!! Yes. Love her.

Sue Perkins Jo Brand Kathy Burke. Dawn French

Julie Walters.

Ooh yeah I love Jo Brand

Jo is on The Last Leg now - Channel4

Great line up OP!

Also, all female show.... apart from the men in dresses

Who are the men in dresses?

Some dancers in drag at one point in the show.

Ta Adult Human Ive got The Last Leg on now but will watch again as i havent been giving it my full attention as ive been seething about this.
