Vocal Voices

One of my favourites.

Since Richard Osman left it has had temporary co-presenters. Some of them, like Stephen Mangan, Connie Huq and Ria Lima have been ok, but please do not bring back Giles - name dropper - Brandreth.

He was a bore in the extreme.

We usually fringe into the last 5 minutes or so of Pointless after The Chase and before the 6:00 News.

Richard Osman was a very hard act to follow, but I'd agree with you that Stephen Mangan and Connie Huq have been good replacements.
Incidently, Richard Osman's new book is now out in hardback - "The Last Devil To Die".

Osman was a newbie when Pointless started so he fitted right in. Those now sitting-in have other careers to work on, so are temporary. It's not quite working.

What the quiz needs is either another (talented) newbie or someone who can commit to it long-term, so long as that is not Giles. Please God, not Giles. :twisted:

I thought exactly the same WM.
I dislike Brandreth anyway. :lol:

I really like Stephen Mangan.

Ossie...I saw Richard on a piece on the One Show last night all about his books.

I've read two and will get a hold of the others.
