It looks like Paul's hair was died blonde, especially in the last shot of him where he's laughing!! Might be just the 'lights' in the graphics making it look like that though.

I like Paul's hair in the credits - it does look blonde, and longer too.

Not sure whether its the lighting in the new studio, but to me, his hair looks blonder than it did last series. And Chris said it was strawberry blonde on last night's show!

He sure does!

Paul is a really adorable man and loved by millions
I am one of them
he is so gorgeousand he looks lovely with his silver hair and the vari focal glasses
you look great.

congratulations Channel4 on bringing on a fantastic new series to our faces....do u know whether paul is doing any stand-up anytime soon???

the new Paul oGrady show is great
there is never two shows alike
always entertaining
don't know what I will do if you wer't there
your so fntaastic

Well, well. There was I wondering how such a hopeless, unfunny, un-Television no-talent like O'Grady manages to blag another series out of a gormless C4 commisioning editor - then I find that there's folk who actually LIKE it!

I mean, there were folk who also liked Butterscotch Flavour Angel Delight - and that set my teeth on edge too.

This is just about as bad as it gets. Drag has always been the last refuge of the also-rans (with VERY few exceptions - Barry Humphries being the only one I can think of) - take off the slap, wig and dress and they have nowhere to hide.

O'Grady is uncomfortable and un-natural. The quips are excrutiatingly slow coming, and are the usual old tripe when they do. The camp sneer does not compensate. Any O'Grady fan should have watched the Kenneth Williams night on BBC4 to see just what a second rate scouser he is.

I guess you won't be off to watch the show then.

No I most certainly won't.

Correct.

Sigh.

*Hits trevgo with pauls xylophone stick*...you wouldn't see talent if it slapped you in the face. People that usually slag off celebrities either envy them or their bitter. *waits for an outraged reply from trevgo*

Lol, outraged. I did watch the Kenneth Williams night on BBC4 actually, and jolly good it was too. Although I always took Scouser to mean an individual originating from or residing in Liverpool... Of which Paul is neither...

Lol that's very true! It's surprising how many people dismiss Paul as a Scouser, despite how many times he states that he's from Birkenhead!

TrevGo, the world would be a very dull place if we all liked the same comedians wouldn't it! For me though, Paul is extremely funny, very talented and seems completely at ease when interviewing!

Yes Paul is from the Wirral....Fool!

No No No...Scousers and Birkenites have completely different accents!

That's like saying everyone from Coventry is a Brummie...

Now then. I don't know if any of you remember but he was on Johnathan Ross! and actually said he was NOT a scouser! and left Johnathan in shock lol so nurr sexyspecs!

*takes back the nurr comment*

I don't want a row with a fellow fan, so how's this...

"Plastic Scouser is a term used to describe a person who sounds Scouse but lives on the other side of the River Mersey to the city itself. Usually people in Birkenhead and Wallasey are referred to by this term."

Leannie, I vaguely remember that show... It's actually why I was under the impression Paul was not a Scouser, as I thought he said it himself. Interesting point though!

*ahem*

Whether he is from The Wirral or Beer-kin-ed is neither here or there to anyone who is not from the area. He sounds like a scouser to me, like someone from Romford would sound like a cockney to you (but not me).

Years ago, when it was almost impossible to go to "my" pubs (I am gay) without some tawdry drag act on, I encountered Lily Savage many times - and he was no funnier in a frock than out of one. At least in that environment he (like all the others) could use foul language in place of wit, baiting someone in the audience then throwing a few screamed expletives down a distorted microphone at them whilst the assembled daft queens would fall about laughing. On TV he doesn't have that option.

Of course it's good we don't all like the same. I have a friend who finds Last Of The Summer Wine hilarious, and splits his sides whilst the rest of us look on, baffled. There are many comedians/light entertainers who don't rock my personal boat, but whom I respect for their intelligence and professionalism. I'm no Graham Norton fan either, but he is far sharper than O'Grady (and was genuinely funny when I saw him on the Edinburgh Fringe some 12 years ago - yonks before he was on TV).

No - I still think O'Grady is a third rate drag act that got (very) lucky with Blankety Blank.

Trev, while I might not agree with your opinion of Paul, I appreciate that you've taken the time to back it up with a sensible, intelligent argument. It's something I haven't seen much of on this forum, particularly with the excessive moderating that is taking place, so thank you! Although... your post will probably get deleted now. It's far too articulate to stay.

i cant say i agree with TrevGo cos if i did i wouldnt b on this forum

were can i get a nodding buster?
