S16.E15: Sir David Attenborough, Gary Lineker, Jessica Chastain, McBusted

[maraleia]

 

The guests on Graham's sofa are national treasure Sir David Attenborough, football legend Gary Lineker and Oscar nominee actress Jessica Chastain. Plus music from supergroup McBusted.

Jessica Chastain:  Oscar nominee, yes, Oscar winner, no.

Correcting their mistake. Thanks!

It must be sort of disorienting for a big sports star to be in the spotlight with a bunch of people who care nothing about sport. Do you think there'd be some sort of Suck-up Deficiency? Linkeker was good about it, though (not that he had much choice.) 

 

I've heard variations of that middle-of-the-night-peed-in-a-shoe story; it must be a thing.

I know! It was pretty funny that even when the band came over, the number of nonfans was still a lot greater than fans.

 

Sir David was very flirty with Jessica Chastain. She seemed a bit disconcerted at first, but she warmed up at the end.

 

I didn't quite understand what Harry Hill's show is about. People impersonate famous singers, and that's it?

Sir David was very flirty with Jessica Chastain.

 

Ugh, he must be a horror to work with. He was all up in Cameron Diaz last time I saw him on the couch. I'm sure he thinks he's being charming and rakish, but he's always putting the poor women on the spot to play along rather than look like shrews.

[peeayebee]

Ah yes. Cameron Diaz. I couldn't remember who he had flirted with before. I thought he was much more restrained and, yes, charming with Jessica. Anyway, I like David Attenborough. He's still very sharp and witty. 

 

I don't care about futbol, but Gary Lineker was very entertaining. I liked him a lot.

 

I don't really care for Harry Hill or his sense of humor.

 

I thought Jessica was nervous and unsure of things, but she did ok. I love that pic of her dog Chaplin.

This happened when I was dating my future husband: We were staying in a hotel. He'd had a lot to drink. During the night I awoke to see him peeing in the corner. I couldn't believe it. When he came back to bed I got up and felt the carpet. It was soaked. I got some towels and piled them there. I guess I'm glad I hadn't left my shoes there.

I agree. He seemed pretty good-natured about no one being a football fan, and he was attractive in an unconventional way.

 

It was cute how the singer in the hat was a big fan of David Attenborough (as Graham pronounced it, "Attenbrah") and looked up where he lived to move to that neighborhood. 

 

The Harry Hill Tom Jones parody was kind of disturbing (especially the moving buttocks), but Harry's been on before, and he's entertaining. Bringing out the toupee, and then him and Gary fooling around with it was funny.

 

Overall, I thought this was a pretty good episode.
