        It’s actually the opposite. That’s why comedians won’t come on the show. You get people taking all the spotlight and lesser comedians don’t get a word through. They are given the “jumping off points” before hand but you have to jump in with your joke

        It's because the BBC has become so PC that they can't pull the jokes they want.

        Because it is not funny anymore. To PC, to busy pushing the BBC agenda. it is terrible. Comedy is about being risky and edgy, something not allowed on the BBC.

        Is it because they'd rather do their own material, than follow a script written by far less funny people? It's terrible. Comedians aren't actors.
