Room 101 Frank Skinner with host Nick Hancock Part 1 of 3

[RideableLlama]

Okay, I get the "Marmite"/"Ma Might" bit, but where's the pun reference in the words "Hopeful Pa"? Is there some other condiment with a similar name I've never heard of?

[MsBkirk]

I like the Action Man's hoodie!

[vienteflora]

Frank looks so purely 90's...watch this is '88 or something....'I associate this with humiliation' haaaaaaaaha

@Rawc90 2/2 You may not like her but it is a unfair to call her a whore. It also undermines your own argument because you come across as an ill-educated, ranty nutcase which devalues your opinion. It is acceptable to criticise her professional output but stooping to name-calling should be beneath you. You also seem to be confused about what makes someone a whore; whoring is not being stressy and high-maintenance. Whoring is what your mother would do if someone would actually pay her.

@Rawc90 1/2 I'm surprised that it needs explaining but then you don't strike me as the sharpest tool in the box; Emily Dean (whom I assume you mean by "the women" although that is the plural) is playing an exaggerated version of herself for comic effect. She is a successful TV producer, journalist and broadcaster which I doubt she would be if she were as stressy as you think. It is also be unusual for someone that stressy and high-maintenance to have a dry and self-deprecating sense of humour.

[Lonelyhands]

doing a little research for when Skinner takes the helm.

[namriahceciv]

'Marmite, hopeful Pa', implying Ma (mom) might have sexual intercourse, thus a hopeful pa (dad). It's a naff joke.

[sgtgorillaz]

I STILL don't get the marmite joke!

[graemeoliver84]

@sgtgorillaz I wonder if you have to be from the Black Country to understand it, you know that weird dialect they have (If yowm saft enuff ter cum dahn 'ere agooin wum, yowr tay ull be spile't)

[graemeoliver84]

@sgtgorillaz The bit he said afterwards made me laugh though - "Bovril". Maybe that was the real joke.

5:38 is awesome.

[Rawc90]

@lydz25 I used to love his podcasts but i hate the women on there! Firstly shes a stressy high maintenance bitch. But i also hate how whenever Frank tells a funny story she goes Frankkkkk.... STFU YOU WHORE! and she is a whore.
