Craig Charles on The Chase RIGHT NOW

[Somebody]

Well, in a few minutes anyway. And an hour and a few minutes on ITV+1 :)

I put Craig’s bit up on YouTube here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDNpgLG6NFk

I’m checking the TV guide for his and Danny’s episode of Pointless, but would love a date if anyone knows (and, no, not that sort of date).

[clem]

Ooh I didn’t know about that. I love Pointless.

[Danny Stephenson]

The Danny and Craig episode of Pointless hasn’t been on yet, it’ll be a while, til the break away from this new series. Couple o’ months time I’d wager…

[Ian Symes]

I believe it’ll be on in April. And that Danny will be on it again with Ben Miller for a Comic Relief special in March.

[Danny Stephenson]

Looking forward to them both!

[ClareGC]

Aww, April is a long wait, but I guess they have to finish this current series first. I didn’t know about Danny’s Comic Relief special, so thanks for the heads up on that, Ian.

If anyone doesn’t know, Red Dwarf is one of the subjects on tonight’s Mastermind (8pm BBC2). I’m really looking forward to testing myself, after rewatching quite a few episodes this week.

[Michael Warren]

Danny on Pointless now!

[clem]

Well that was rubbish. I hope him and Craig do better.

[clem]

The first of a new series of Pointless Celebrities being shown this Saturday has Christopher Biggins and Lesley Joseph among its contestants, so I’m guessing it must be the sitcom stars one that will also feature Craig and Danny.

[Danny Stephenson]

I think this one might be a repeat at the moment.

[si]

Yes. According to my Sky guide, Saturday’s ep is from series 2 of 4, which would mean it’s a repeat. ;)

[clem]

Ah. I think everybody’s right, except me, so just forget I spoke.

[ClareGC]

Sorry, did someone say something?

Thanks for the heads-up Clem :-) (even if it’s a little early).

I hope the guides say who’s in each episode, when the new series does come round. Seems a bit pointless to have a celebrities edition, and not say who’s in it…

Considering the time it’s taking to reach our screens, I’m expecting the CGI to be spectacular!

According to Gazpacho Soup, the other slebs on Craig and Danny’s episode are Su Pollard & Jefferey Holland (Hi-Di-Hi), Jean Boht & Nick Conway (Bread) and Brendan O’Carroll & Jennifer Gibney (Mrs Brown’s Boys). So if you see any of those names crop up in listings, you’ll know that’s the one.

I’m keeping my eye on listings as well, so expect an update on TOS in advance of it.

Yep, I was at the recording with Jo and that was the line up. It’s definitely a better show than the Pointless with Danny and Ben Miller, even if I did find Brendan O’Carroll to be a throughly vile individual throughout. It’ll be his name the listings will be touting though.

[clem]

Does everybody know the Pointless with Craig and Danny was on on Saturday? Still available on iPlayer of course. Definitely worth watching. There’s a great moment where Craig puts Brendan O’Carroll in his place. O’Carroll really does come across as being quite odious.

[JamesTC]

Oh I’ll have to give it a watch. Cheers.

[ClareGC]

Well, that certainly was a long wait, but very worth it!

[JamesTC]

What’s a night of the Iguana?

[si]

That’s *exactly* what I said on saturday evening. ;)

Craig missed a trick there.

[Seb Patrick]

He did make up for it with the Emmy line, though.

[Claire]

I enjoyed it. Shame about the final question, but they did really well.

[Jo]

>Does everybody know the Pointless with Craig and Danny was on on Saturday?

NO I FUCKING DIDN’T. Sky+ lost the series link with the break, so after waiting for it to air since the recording in November I flaming well missed it. Grrr.

[Seb Patrick]

It was mentioned on TOS a week in advance, cough cough.

HOWEVER: it’s still on iPlayer! Until Saturday, anyway. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b039016x/Pointless_Celebrities_Series_4_Episode_3/

[Jo]

Unless I happen to catch your tweet I don’t get time to check TOS or anything else at the moment. I barely get time to keep up with twitter I get a few hrs worth a day and that’s only because of tube WiFi.
I also didn’t see any tweets from Danny or Craig if there were any. of all the RD things people tweet me about (LOL KRYTON!) Not a single fucking tweet about this.
I didn’t get time to watch it before it fucked off either because the WiFi on the train was shit on Friday. so yeah, genuinely pissed off.

[Jo]

actually, looking at that article, I *did* see it. it didn’t stop the Sky box losing the series link though did it?

[ClareGC]

Jo, I’ll put it up on YouTube, for you and anyone else who missed it on iPlayer. It might take a few days to shrink and upload the files with my super slow PC and broadband, so I’ll post back when I’ve got the link.

[ClareGC]

I’ve put the episode on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZsLbRbsKV8

(Sorry it’s so late)

[Pete Part Three]

Thanks very much for posting this as I didn’t get a chance to see it on iPlayer.

Pretty much proved that Danny is shockingly bad at this game as his performance was no better than his one with Ben Miller. Fortunately, Craig was on good form.

Every time that Mrs Brown’s Boys actor spoke, I was inclined to sarcastically laugh and say “You fucking cunt”.

Strange.

[ClareGC]

It was a good team performance. I won’t give the ending away though… not like Danny did on Twitter.

I made a change, to try to improve the volume. It didn’t make much difference, but here’s the new url http://youtu.be/9Z6EE_PPz2k
