The magic and subtle sarcasm poked at celebs and the general (rightful) contempt at the entertainment industry did seem to be lost since the relaunch though.
Oh it was lost during the Claudia and Colin era but when Paddy was on his own it came back and has kept going. The Liza Mineli reconstruction the other week was genius.
Liza Mineli as a presenter would be funny. Paddy is a nice enough Guy; it’s just the constant 'do dars' and 'malarkey' words he keeps saying and the adlibbing when misreading the autocue can get a bit much after a while. I don’t mind having the odd 'Do dar' here and there, but every other sentence!
Give it 6 months and there will be a new improved nightly Chat/Celeb/Entertainment show on BBC CHOICE take 2.
Hopefully the BBC Director of Television will see what a dog's b*llocks the BBC Three controller, Stuart Murphy, has made of the channel, and sack him.
Well they had their own graphic involving him today. I emailed them to ask if I could buy Claudia and Paddy all for myself but I haven't had a reply yet.
This is a damn good show, OK fair enough it hasn't been as good as the Christopher Price days, but Claudia and Paddy have made the show their own, I wouldn't be bothered if they cut down the amount of editions they had a week, but why axe something informative and popular? This is rather bad news.
Other than LN, Monkey Dust and Little Britain, does anyone actually watch BBC Three? (The only thing I watch on there is LN)
I have few words for this, none of which will get past the swear filter. Suffice to say this and Celebdaq are the only decent things on BBC3 when 24's not on, it's completely ludicrous and I'm crying into my keyboard. Well, the third bit was a lie, but the rest's true. Guess another repeat of "What Not To Wear" is much more important.... Gits.
Good riddance to a waste of BBC license fee payers' money!
Liquid News was bareable when Christopher Price presented but it was HIS programme and should have finished when he left.
I think a liquid news type programme should be intergrated within the BBC Three Seven O Clock news and make it more of a fun news half hour!
BBC Three ? Who watches that?
...and in the 'Burn It' thread...

Yes I TOTALLY agree- the BBC Three scheduling has been great and has given the public many chances of catching the series. This is similar scheduling to which Whatday posted negatively about ITV2 in another thread. From my point of view that is the whole point of these 'extra' channels - to give the viewers extra chances of watching/catching up with episodes that they may have missed elsewhere. I dont think they expect you to religiously watch these channels for excessive periods but to watch them for the odd hour here and there. Just think if you do that with a whole group of channels you can still effectively keep a viewer within 'your' brand of channels.
Ie 19:00 7 oclock news BBC Three
19:30 Eastenders BBC One
20:00 University Challenge BBC Two
20:30 Some crap welsh type programme on 2W
21:00 Comedy programme on BBC Two
etc etc
So these other channels do play a very important part and dont expect people to watch them continuously and just offer an alternative oppourtunity to watch programmes people may have missed.
