Turned it on in the middle of the segment and thought it looked interesting. Then Paddy McGuiness appeared on screen being all Paddy McGuiness so I had to turn it over.

He didn't look too bad considering. It was a really good piece on him and his life though. Worth picking up on catch up.

Seemed a good show they put on for him, they are going to need that bit next week on electric cars to try and prevent the eco pitchforks coming out.

Just watched it, it was a very fitting and respectable tribute to Eddie. Well done Paddy and the BBC. :thumbup: :clap:

A very moving tribute to a living legend! How was Eddie's carer deciphering what he was communicating? I did think it was with eye movements.

Swmbo used to be a carer for a lass with cerebral palsy, and the first few times I met her I really couldn't decipher what she was saying, but the more I met her, the more I understood, until it was second nature talking to her.
But it's a shame he's trapped like that now!

Must admit this season has been entertaining... sure it's a bit daft... but good fun :)

Enjoyed the trucker episode.

I just want to punch Paddy.
Quite possibly the most annoying person on TV that is Good Morning Britain presenter.
And for that reason, I have given up watching it.

I like it.

I've liked all the series with Paddy, Freddie and Chris.

It's comedy entertainment that you don't have to think too hard about.

My missus now refuses to watch it purely as Paddy annoys her so much. She likes Flintoff and Harris loads but “that shouty annoying twat” ruins it for her
