Shooting Stars

[ComedyPilot]

Anyone see it tonight?

In the lookback at the show I almost pi**ed myself when Andrea/Anthea? Turner thought a bull was in the box with her.

And there was a monkey like Longers avatar on too.

Brilliant. Best TV over chrimbo by far.

 

[Baggy]

Damn! I missed it.

 

[Aperitif]

I didn't thea...

 

[Speicher]

A monkey that looks like a lion?

 

[Rob S]

The look back was brill...particularly the Anthea bit...but also the bit where Mr Vegas spilt his pint.

The new show was ok. Jack Dee was crap.

Damn, it's changed, well, it looked like Longer's old avatar. What species was it?

 

[mickle]

The Peanut Song. Just brilliant.

 

[John Ponting]

the lookback prog was great and showed how good Will Self became as he settled in. Jack Dee may have a long way to go if it continues.

 

[wafflycat]

It was *brilliant* Loved the new show too.

A Baboon of sorts, I think?

A Baboon of sorts, I think?

I had a quick look at baboons last night on wikipedia, but didn't see the one I was looking for.

 

[Sittingduck]

Great minds think alike... I have just been on there checking

Nearest I can see is the Papio cynocephalus (thats a Yellow baboon to you). Doesn't look quite right though...

*Sigh, I think Today is gonna be a long day at work!

They had one exactly like Longers avatar on the show, they had some celebrity in a box, led the baboon past her so she saw it, and told her they were putting it in the box with her, then vic reeves got into the box and was scratching her....LOL

 

[Sittingduck]

Hahaha - didn't see the show but it sounds like she would have been freaking! Them baboon's can turn nasty you know

I grew up with baboons all around. Not in Africa, but in North Yorkshire.

As we played in our school playground they'd sit and watch us.

The man next door kept them.
