Quite right too. Cleverer the better, I say. I don't have a problem with off the wall or boundary pushing entertainment either. Just talentless half-wits like those two. Let's face it, they only got the gig because ITV have Ant and Dec.

We'll have to agree to disagree then. IMHO Ant and Dec are happy to be used by various advertising executives to plug their latest generic boy/girl band clone.

I hate them :cry: . Think the whole show is a load of crap I am afraid.

Indeed. Double Dare, Runaround - there's a history of noisy entertainment for kids. And I'm a big kid too - if there's a wall next to a path, I'll always chose the wall to walk. But my "big kid" persona is very different to Mike's(we're very different children).

Would I actively encourage my potential children to watch it? Probably not. But I know for a fact that I would end up letting my kids watch it, and end up watching it myself and secretly enjoying it.

I like them and think they are good if you don’t like them maybe you have no sense of humour? It’s funny and something different, what would you rather kids watch violence on TV? seems like you can never win with some people

dislike maybe?

It's a well documented fact that I have no sense of humour.

This thread has gone a complete tangent, so I'm locking it. See, sense of humour bypass exhibited by Marc.

If anyone is kind enough to help out a Rupert fan, please contact the lovely lady via PM on the board. I would record it for her, but I'll be "otherwise engaged". I think one of use owes it to her to record it given that we've completely hijacked her thread.
