Bill Baileys Perfect Pub Walks

[dangermows]

exactly. not in same league. Bill Bailey isn't funny at the end of the day.

It's not meant to be funny and focuses on the guest and their life along side the route they are walking.

It's not meant to be funny tbf

yes but either is gone fishing. however Whitehouse and morts have natural charm and cheeky humour. Bill just looks stunned at everything

Very different programmes. As I highlighted in the edit.

No but it's not In The Psychiatrist's Chair either.

Merton was attempting to be funny all the way through, i think it would have been pitched as wry but fails.

You can tell he has got quite a frail mentality about how he's perceived. I really liked them and I am no fan of Bill Bailey or Paul Merton tbh

But regardless, the premise isn't comedy. It's pleasant viewing. I like it.

Anyway, gotta go now, just seen a Grebe.

He’s actually called mark

Does that prevent him coming home?

 

[Proffesor H Plum]

Very pleasant viewing.

Ryder is good value. Merton is the boyo. Trev McDee next up for me.

Watched all four and thoroughly enjoyed them. Nice hearing people talking about themselves and their issues Everyone needs a mate to walk and talk with imo.

When Bill and Shaun are in the bird hide and Bill, looking through his binoculars mentiond that the Grebes are on the weed. Shaun replies back "A twenty bag?".

 

[Billy Batts]

Watched the Ryder one, very good.

Watched the Ryder one, very good.

Yes watched it just there. Anything with Ryder is worth watching to be fair.

 

[Walter H. White]

Just watched the Alan Davies one. Really good viewing.

Davies seems really troubled, mind. Scarred for life from a horrific childhood.

Hopefully being open about his experience has taken some weight off his shoulders.

Watched the first two. Couldn't help but find my self comparing it to Whtehouse and Mortimer. Maybe it's because the characters aren't northerners , but it didn't really get going for me.
I can see Dangermows point that it's not set up to be a comedy.
I found it a tad boring .

 

[PTID]

Not really a fan of Bill Bailey, or a lot of his guests, but the concept is a good one, pubs and walks, its easy to watch, been in a few of the pubs he visits as well.

 

[JAZZMANB]

Will get round to watching one
We always have to compare things
Same with bands etc
I assumed it would be more low key like winter walks
I can only watch so many of the fishing ones
Love Bob but find Whitehouse a bit dull and Grumpy and I don't like fishing
