Ive never watched any of the previous series but i started to watch the latest series because i like Dara and Frankie, its been a bit hit and miss for me, the bald guy and russel howard make me cringe with their bad jokes, i love Frankie though hes hilarious.

I think that without Frankie, this show would have been put to bed some time ago. It's a really tired and cheap format that has been done bigger and better elsewhere. But, I'm not sure my week would be as good without an injection of venom from Frankie Boyle. :)

Frankie is definitely the winner.

"So you'll be back will you, Joker? Somehow, I don't think so."

"Is it a bird, is it a plane? All I know is it's heading towards the World Trade Center."

"Political correctness is a politically correct term in itself. Not many people know this, but it used to be called 'spastic gay talk'."

And my personal fave from the series:

"There is a vegetarian option - you can **** off." :laugh:

Ha, yeah, those two from yesterday were a bit wrong but i couldn't help but laugh. Loved the vegetarian one as well and his constant Kerry Katona digs.

It's basically an exact amalgamation of Whose Line Is It Anyway and Have I Got News For You. IMO the last series were some of the funniest episodes I have seen of any TV show ever, but the new series hasn't been the best. Frankie keeps reusing his old jokes from previous series' and the guests this week were rubbish. Bring back Michael McIntyre permanently I say.

Yeah Michael McIntyre was a good guest. I was also watching some old episodes on Dave and i would like to see Rory Bremner or Al Murray on the show again.

frankie is GOD, he's just hillarious, he's my hero.

You guys should see the "too hot for tv" dvd, the things that werent allowed to be broadcast are on it, like the queen killing diana and other hardcore things, it nearly made me cry with laughter. Also the last ep of each series is the best bits + things that werent allowed to be shown.

I hate the black woman guest, all she does is nigerian accent jokes, she's not funny but she must have been on about 6 times:( I dont like al murray he's just a loud mouth and not really funny tbh.

    • Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion to bring snowy region, new updates also coming by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Capcom had a surprise waiting for Dragon's Dogma fans today in the Nintendo Direct presentation. The company revealed an expansion for the second installment with a name that should be familiar to series veterans. Coming later this year, Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is promising a massive new region to explore, new monsters, fresh skills to learn, and more. The studio says players will be heading to the Northern region of the world, named Norgan, to find new secrets about an undying "Fallen Dragon." There will be forgotten relics that the protagonist can find to unlock fresh weapons and skills the expansion is introducing. Players will also be able to find mysterious equipment from a previous Arisen as a part of the expansion, all part of 12 Lost Rites Dungeon Challenges they must complete to gain access. In Neowin's own review, I found Dragon's Dogma 2 to be an impressive RPG when it launched back in 2024, giving the title an 8.5/10 for its class variants, companion system, and immersive exploration. "Once a prosperous region of the kingdom of Vermund, it was abandoned many years ago for reasons unknown," says Capcom about the new region. "Long has it been since any soul traveled its paths. Blanketed in heavy snow, these frigid lands are home to savage hordes and creatures of unbelievable power. Those who are capable of vanquishing such fearsome foes, or those who possess a keen eye for exploration, will find themselves rewarded with powerful relics." Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion launches on October 9, 2026, with a $29.99 price tag. Ahead of the expansion release, Capcom is also planning to release two free updates to the base game. The first will land tomorrow, June 10, bringing more accessible fast travel with an Eternal Ferrystone and other quality-of-life adjustments. The second update will land sometime in August, aiming to improve frame rates, add more save slots, and bring even more community-requested adjustments. This expanded Dark Arisen edition is also launching on the Nintendo Switch 2 on the same day the content comes to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
    • Classic themes are just the colors on the bar like the olden days, if you use the image themes, it does fancy transparent backgrounds and it makes the elements of the app look like they are transparent bubbles. This sample image shows what it looks like.  
    • Good point, unfortunately. NextDNS has far more filters and workarounds than uBlock, and it's easy to implement.
    • Windows 10 KB5094127 Patch Tuesday improves File Explorer search and more by Taras Buria The June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates are here, bringing mandatory patches to users with PCs enrolled in the Extended Security Update program for Windows 10. Microsoft is rolling out KB5094127, with build numbers 19045.7417 and 19044.7417. Changelog includes the following: [File Explorer] This update improves File Explorer search, including support for Chinese text, and UTF 8–encoded files without a byte order mark (BOM). Text now displays more clearly and consistently across search results, Content view, and tooltips. [Secure Boot] This update enables dynamic status reporting for Secure Boot states in Windows Security App. This update adds a new policy setting, LimitSecureBootRequiredServiceData, under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Secure Boot. When this setting is enabled, Windows limits the Secure Boot service data it sends by suppressing the event normally sent to Microsoft. This policy is also included in the Windows Restricted Traffic Limited Functionality Baseline package. For information about the policy, see Manage connections from Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating system components to Microsoft services. With this update, Windows quality updates include additional high confidence device targeting data, increasing coverage of devices eligible to automatically receive new Secure Boot certificates. Devices receive the new certificates only after demonstrating sufficient successful update signals, maintaining a controlled and phased rollout. As for known bugs, Microsoft has the following to say: A workaround is available in the official documentation. Today's updates are available for PCs enrolled in the Extended Security Updates program only. If your PC is eligible, you can download the update from Settings > Windows Update or from the Microsoft Update Catalog here.
    • Then the solution is to not let children have easy access to smart phones or internet until they are older, not mass surveillance. Only this would require parents to do actual parenting, most likely, as with any good solution to the problem.
