Absolutely Vile

  • Kathy Taylor on Good Morning Britain, so overbearingly pleasant that viewers surely long for a bit of hate?
  • The Noel Edmonds Saturday Roadshow, more fun than any human should be expected to enjoy
  • Lauren Bacall discussing 'Bogie'
  • Any situation comedy where Peter Skellern sings the theme tune
  • Richard Attenborough accepting an award
  • The Sugarcubes, silly putty
  • Fiona Armstrong for breathing
  • Gilette products
  • Anneka Rice, too happy to be human
  • The Cure, a new dimension to the word 'crap'

Hopes

  • That the Japanese cease to harpoon dolphins and turn their attention for the same purpose to the cast of Neighbours
  • That the Harlots Of 42nd Street reform
  • That somebody spells Vini Really's name correctly
