Alan Carr’s Celebrity Ding Dong
I caught Episode 5 of Alan Carr’s Celebrity Ding Dong on Friday night. It really is one of the funniest things on TV. It sets a team of celebrities against “civilians”. The celebs for this edition were Johnny Vegas, Jermaine Jackson (what’s he still doing here?), Sara Cox, Jenni Falconer and Lee Ryan (hubba!). Alan is so funny, managing to say completely outrageous things about the plebs but without actually causing offence. Really, the show is all about him and his humour - the competition and the guests are just a device to let him run riot. The only duff notes are when the civilians try a bit too hard to be funny. Loved this joke:
I got dragged into a lap dancing club in Blackpool. God, it was ropey. One of the dancers had run out of baby oil and was using Febreeze.
