I like the variety of guest presenters. No favourite. No staying power here either. grin.

Yes, I liked Konnie Huq, lixy.

But overall I think the idea of rotating the guest presenters is going well.

Giles Brandreth is definitely marmite.

Konnie Haq is my mum's favourite because she speaks so clearly and looks at the camera too.

I thought from the title it was about Guest Hosts on shows who were of no use i.e. pointless!

A tually, he's mine sparkle!!

Afraid I can’t stand Giles Brandreth I find him dreadfully irritating but I don’t really get RichardOsman either he’s ok but doesn’t pull me in at all I quite like the game itself though

Stephen Mangan for me!

I like Stephen Mangan as well closely followed by Gyles Brandreth. Richard Osmsn loves himself enough for all of us.

A great fit for the show, if we can't have Richard back, Giles is perfect.

Giles Brandreth was brilliant on the My Teenage Diary podcast.

I liked Richard best of all but I think rotating the guest host is a good idea. Giles is ok but he’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

Oooh, I forgot Stephen Mangan. blush

kittylester Thu 17-Aug-23 17:27:15

I love him too. Mostly I wish Richard Osman would come back.

Gyles Brandreth has begun a stint as a guest host with Alexander Armstrong on the above and I love his cheerful and confident manner.

Although it's obviously a matter of personal choice I feel that he should be a 'shoe-in' to do this permanently - surely the job is just made for him? What do others think?
