Only Connect

[quizzywig]

Watched this last night as there was nothing else to take my fancy at 8.30pm. I really don't like Victoria Coren. She used to be very good when she did Balderdash and Piffle but she seems really smug now - even when she gets to be on Have I got news for you. Does anyone else agree? (I much prefer her brother Giles - he's very funny with Sue Perkins)

[Ankou]

i agree. way too smug.

[gingejbee]

Always watch Only Connect - I think VC strikes just the right balance for this rather esoteric quiz - I like her.

[bednobs]

she ruins the programme for me. her "jokes" are crapola

[quizzywig]

Well said, bednobs!

[Philtaz]

Humour, intelligence and a proper womanly figure.

She ticks all the boxes for me!

[cathfromsaron]

husband fancies her ...

[joggerjayne]

I'm the other way round.

I don't watchOnly Connect, but I love Vicky C.

Her columns in the Guardian are great.

I read her book ... A Love Affair With Poker, or something, after she had won the European Poker Tour ... only woman ever to have won it.

I spy female envy.V.C very lovely>would I ?

[joggerjayne]

She's intelligent, witty ... she'd be great company.

[Jan1957]

I like her too and think she's a good presenter with a great sense of humour. I will look out for that book jj as I like a game of poker.

[joggerjayne]

It was called ...

"For Richer, For Poorer: A Love Affair With Poker"

It's a great book. I think it's out in paperback now.

[T&S]

Don't diss the next Mrs T&S!

I think VC's attitude is just right for the programme: who wouldn't feel - and look - just a little smug answering some of those questions. I think she has every right to join in.
