A Dreadful Rumour

[Geo]

Alex Zane is allegedly being lined up to replace Russel Brand.

I really would rather cut my ears off with a blunt saw than have to suffer this painfully unfunny twat.

[Becky]

At least its not Zane Lowe.

[pauliepoos]

And you can always choose not to watch.

[audrey notwhatsheusedtobe]

In a way I'm quite glad. My life always gets taken over by BB and especially BBBM, which often means I get to bed too late. If that awful boy is presenting, there's no danger of my watching it, so that's one less thing to be addicted to.

It would be tough to find someone as good at Big Mouth as Russell, but I would have thought someone like Lauren Harries or Vanessa Feltz would have been more fitting to the general insanity of the show.

LowCulture would not exist if any of us ever picked that option!

I heard it was Iain Lee.

Both are the worst possible choices, although in fairness I'll only be happy if Alan Carr takes over.

[Muinimula]

Couldn't there be a Harry Hill-led 'TV Burp' style weekly highlight show?

I would prefer Iain Lee to Alex Zane. Surely they would only choose Alex Zane because he looks a bit like Russell Brand, and they're hoping people won't notice until he opens his mouth.

Could be worse: it could be JUSTIN LEE-COLLINS

I guess he's a bit more tolerable, He was quite decent on RI:SE.

They only suitable comedy big hair replacement would be that bloke from the Mighty Boosh whose name has suddenly escaped me.

Noel Fielding. A man who spawned a thousand haircuts and a million cunts.

I'd love it to be Iain Lee. He's one of those people who inexplicably I find myself caring about a tiny bit. He was spontaneously funny on RI:SE, and when I happened upon him doing some celebrity round up show he was also good. I think he deserves a go. So there.

I was going to write "SHAME ON YOU!", but you're not actually slagging him off and are typing the truth. So, er, carry on. The Fielding Wannabes will only increase once Boosh series 3 airs and probably gets overkilled.

[coxy1979]

I cannot stand Iain Lee.

Alan Carr would be OK though. Can't they just get an relatively unknown anarchist comedian like they did with Brand?

[audrey notwhatsheusedtobe]

Noel Fielding would be amazing, as would a Harry Hill run down of the lunacy. God, we should just be put in charge of all telly!

I don't mind Ian Lee. He's vastly preferable to the Zane boy, whom I HATE. Talking of breakfast telly peeps, I always loved Dougie who did the OBs on Big Breakfast. I think he could really do with the work too.

[fused]

I don't like Iain Lee. I think the technical term for him would be 'a lanky streak of piss'.

Alex Zane is just crap. He's always really wooden and never seems to show any interest at all in what he is doing.

On the other hand, I was never Russell Brand's biggest fan before Big Brother's Big Mouth, which he did extremely well. Whoever replaces him will have a difficult job, as for many the appeal of Big Brother's Big Mouth was just as much about the way Russell did it as it was about Big Brother.

Yeah i know what you mean about Iain Lee. I always thought he was funny on RI:SE comapred to the rest of them, and he did say that he fancied Aisleyne on a BBLB last year.

Alan Carr would be brilliant too

[boxedjoy]

I haven't seen enough of Popworld since Simon left to be able to make a judgement properly, but I would rather Alexa Chung before Alex Zane.

[David Hunter]

Isn't it to be a bunch of different presenters? I'd like Jason Woods to have a turn. He's old fashioned camp.

[groopie]

Please not Alex Zane.

I think I would actually die of squeeing if Noel Fielding was on my telly every night, but I'm quite certain this will never happen.

I think if they can just avoid anyone who has any involvement with T4 and Justin Lee Collins I'll be happy. Ooh and I just had a horrific vision of Kate Thornton turning up in some sort of school exchange programme with X-Factor.

This would be amazing. She could drag them across the stage ask the evictee approximately 2 questions and shout over the answers saying "we're out of time"

While the rest of the nation titters with glee at that weeks ill fitting outfit she has chosen.

This would be better than shouty Davina. No?

I hate him so much. He's just not funny and really, he's a waste of oxygen.

[latoyajunkie]

Vanessa! Vanessa! Vanessa!

The Radio Times says that it's guest presenters.

[SheSaysThat]

According the sun i.e. the fountain of all knowledge (sic), guest presenters include george galloway, peaches geldof and chris moyles. gulp.
