If...

If I were to say that the Buzzcocks Doctor Who special, and Tennant in particular, made me cringe with its unfunniness, that would make me a bitter, whiny bitch, right? I'll shut up, then.

Cribbins was awesome, though.

Cribbins kicked ass. The 'written' stuff they gave Tennant to say was hideous; he even acknowledged at one point that Cribbins' riffing was putting his lines to shame.

And I'd rather have heard him finish the whole 'Right Said Fred' song than sit through that weird-ass 'guess the ex-musician' segment.

I felt so embarassed for Phil and Noel last night. They must have been wondering what the fuck they were doing there...

Thing is, when Tate and Tennant took over Wossy's Radio 2 slot last year, they were hilarious. They're doing it again this year, and I'll be tuning in.

You can be bitter and whiny if you like, or gleeful, or raging. Emote, darling, emote!

So, not worth bothering with then? (Still trying to find a chance to watch Misfits.)

Cribbins and Tate were funny. Tennant was awful only because he was stuck reading material that was forced and trying too damn hard.

i only saw a tiny clip, but i thought tate was funny - don't remember tennant saying much

Thing is, hosting that requires excellent ad lib skills, it's why Simon Anstell was so good. DT is an actor and it's not really his forte, bad choice. I know you may disagree but JB would have been better, he was hilarious on Buzzcocks, and is very quick witted. OF course Catherine Tate and Bernard Cribbans would be good, it's closer to what they are known for.

Yes, probably, but at least you could be bovvered to watch it :)

Actually... I watched at most 3 mins before I had to turn it off

I had no idea this was happening! I need to see this, even if it's awful. Heck, RTD has prepared me for anything.
