Morning, everybody. Welcome along to your free podcast. It's Friday the 12th of January. I think it was all sorted out yesterday, wasn't it? Getting there. Eventually, it was the equipment playing silly beggars at the moment, I'm afraid. But it's all fixed. So everybody happy? Everybody all right? Good, good, good, good, good. First of all, dancing on ice. To be honest with you, I'm not remotely interested. I couldn't give a 4x. I really couldn't. I'm just assuming that ITV have only got Pipscofield and Holly Willoughby. They don't appear to have anybody else at all, every program that comes along. It must be written into their contracts. Give it to them first. Because they, yes, it was either them or Ant and Deck, but they tend to

stick to their sort of usual routine, do they? Because on the odd occasion that they

venture away from it. And they only do Saturday night takeaway and the armist celebrity get

me out of it. Not exactly a taxing lifestyle, is it really?

Oh, and Britain's got talent. But that's not, that's not different. They just stand there in the

wings going, oh, the audience's like this. Now, as far as it goes. Now, the Dancing on Ice

commentator, Matt Chapman, has quit the show. Now, you remember that he actually replaced

Tony Gubber, but he's dead.

You can't bring him back.

So they've got Matt Chapman.

He was blasted by viewers for his OTT voiceover in the first live episode.

He's a sports commentator.

I don't know why they think a sports commentator is any good for a light-end program, but there it is.

And so he's got a backlash.

He's a racing correspondent. Oh, but there it is. And so he's got a backlash. He's a racing

correspondent. Oh, you're very excited. Come along. And so it goes on. You know, any sporting

commentators, I'd only rude about them. Prats. Absolute prats. You ever heard people doing

the commentary on a football game? Better still listened to the South African version of football commentary.

It's even funnier. But he actually took up, anyway, he's decided to hang up his skates and he's walked out of the show.

So, of course, it leaves them with a dilemma. Who's going to do the voiceover?

Well, it's going to be Pip Schofield, isn't it, of course, because, you know, in between standing, they're looking lovely with makeup on, he can do the commentary.
