I liked the "OK, I'll have a kid, but only if you get your mum in as a domestic slave". It’s also preserved for posterity for the kid that Gregg didn’t actually want him |

Some other real gems in there like the Prince Andrew lack of sweating at the gym and the six pack hidden behind the ‘bloat’.

This sounds awful, to the point where even Ronald D Moore being involved doesn't sound like it can salvage it:

Seeing as this is now the Gregg Wallace thread, popbitch has this story:
As Gregg Wallace has been flavour of the week, a short story from the cutting room floor of Masterchef.
You know those moments on the show when Gregg and John go up to contestants to ask questions while they're trying to cook against the clock? Gregg wandered over to one chef as he was making a dessert to ask if he knew the difference between jam and jelly.
The contestant distractedly answered, "Errr... gelatine, I guess?"
To which Gregg responded, "No. You can't jelly your dick up your girlfriend's arse!"
Curiously, that bit didn't make the edit.

I violently disagree with the inclusion of Tom Hollander on this list.
"STOP SAYING ABINGDON TO ME. I WANT A FUCKING CHOCOLATE BISCUIT."

This is another GW story from Popbitch
"During the filming of an episode of MasterChef, the judges were presented with the contestants’ dishes to taste as usual, but John Torode found himself quite flummoxed by one plate.
“I can’t quite put my finger on what this dish reminds me of…” he said, ponderously.
“I can!” Gregg gleefully interjected. “It’s me aunt’s cunt!”
Even though the production team and contestants were well used to Gregg’s brand of humour, this particular bon mot managed to stun the entire room into silence. Again, it failed to make the edit"

Franchise ident clips. Or whatever we're calling them.
I didn't know whether to put this in the Stupid Foibles thread, and I'm not annoyed about it enough to put it in Random Rants, but...
Do we really need these? I feel like Marvel started it, and now all the major franchises have them.
At least with the Star Trek one, they play around with it a bit every now and then, changing the ship on different shows, or putting The Celestial Koala in for the SNW/LD crossover episode.
But for the most part... we know what it is we're there to see, so are they really necessary? The new Doctor Who one especially. If Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures were still going, maybe, but if it's just the main show...

I do like that the use the correct ship for each show in the Star Trek one but agree that they’re pointless. At least with the Marvel you can argue that its just a glorified studio ident I suppose.

I always watch the old episodes of Top of the Pops on BBC Four, had to smile tonight, we’ve reached the infamous episode where Chris Eubank had to read the chart out and say “At six it’s Suggs with Cecilia”

I’ve always had a distrust of people who tell you what their nickname should be. Did he? Definitely a wrong 'un then. A guy at our school tried to get us to do that a few times in our early teens because he didn't have one. They never stuck- you don't pick them, you earn them by doing something stupid, or the group decides. |

Deserved. And yet, I don't want a S2 or S3 even, as has been rumoured. Pretty much perfect on it's own.

Ugh, its like they tried to put Brent in the US Office but couldn’t pull either off.
Also, kind of surprising its taken them 20 years to make their own version down there.

After many years of people telling me to watch Upstart Crow, I've started watching Upstart Crow. It's very Ben Elton and Very David Michell. I like it a lot.
HOWEVER... What the actual fucking fuck is with the Ricky Gervais-a-like character? I'm assuming it's a huge dig for whatever reason, but it's really bloody annoying and pulls you completely out of the world they've built. Bizarre.
--- edit
Ah, OK, this makes sense of it, but I stand by the fact that it’s really jarring.
“In real life Will Kempe was the Shakespearean clown who was the superstar of his day.
Audiences would flock for miles around to watch the great man perform his Falstaff or famous jig at the Globe theatre after one of the plays by the great darling of the stage – and the age – Will Shakespeare.
And in Upstart Crow, Ben Elton’s BBC2 comedy reimagining of the life of the great poet and dramatist, Kempe is presented as… a cocky C16th Ricky Gervais.
The character, played by comedian Spencer Jones has precisely aped Gervais’s voice and mannerisms and frequently boasts about his popularity abroad. But instead of being big in America – like Gervais is now – Kemp is always telling people he is huge “in Italy.”
“Oh, did I get an award?, oh, that’s right I did,” he says channeling the Office star. “A proper one. Not English. Italian.”
