WATCH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I watched this today earlier on and I was gobsmacked.

Most of the answers I see on other channels are ok-ish but this where the worse.

BIG__________ and an answer is Yellow taxi - how shocking is that and surely a car is not big when compared to other things on the road.

It even funnier when the presenter pulls off a sticker and can not even say the answer

It's a song by Joni Mitchell or Counting Crows and also done by someone else a year or two ago whose name I can't remember.

But for me..... BIG BEAVER!!! WHAT!!!

Funny clip... I've never phoned one of these shows, and after seeing this, never would.

well ok its great comedy but only at those calling in and most of the presenters who really dont have
a clue! seems that CH5 has a contract for the next 2 years!!! in truth id rather the show didnt clog
up the schedules for CH4/CH5 and just took its place on a fancy new channel which ONLY gave out
crappy call in competitions and nothing else whatsoever.. no doubt that will happen one day but
thats probably in addition to clogging the other channels up, rather than instead of... aarghlol

its time we all got our own back on this excuse for tv!!
lol - it looks like someone has had a head start- check out:

^lol funny but really worth the waste of money? amount it much cost him to get through considering how much it costs normal people to get through

ha when he does the same guy again, he just doesnt say anything

extentofmysin

yeah lets just hope whoever was phoning was able to reverse those calls
and if he was sticking to the same answer each time i wouldve tried to
come up with something funnier.. or at least put on a stupid voice lol

Those programmes are just a tax on the stupid, the desperate and the drunk.

They should be banned.:mad:

Big Yellow Taxi was written and recorded by Joni Mitchell in about 1970. Counting Crows covered it about 4 years ago with Vanessa Carlton.

I am a great fan of Joni and the excellent Counting Crows.

There are many other recorded cover versions.

Was watching Ch5 last night - I'm not really that sad but I was channel hopping. They had a maths 'sum' and gave you two answers to pick from. Trouble was they were both wrong! 18 + 7 X 3 - 20 = a)45 or b) 9?

Had to admit I stayed watching as I was curious how they would deal with this. After about 10 minutes the presenter said the competition was being stopped because they'd realised they'd made a mistake. Wonder how many people phoned in @75p each to enter a competition they had no chance of winning?

hollydays

a)45

or

b)9

people?
