Dara O Briain kept on his toes by the BBC ... and the Mail

Is Dara O Briain the busiest man in television? The Daily Mail points out that the "burly Irish comedian" has appeared in no fewer than five BBC shows of late – Mock The Week, Three Men Go to Scotland, Have I Got News For You, The Apprentice: You're Fired! and Stargazing Live. The Mail may not be a huge fan, though, saying OB "annoyingly talked over the excellent Dr Brian Cox" in the stargazing show. Never mind, Dara. The BBC loves you. (The Guardian)

  1. i actually thought this was a pretty crap programme. why did it need to be live? all it did was make the usual excellent Cox look uncomfortable... good to talk about when we start AS LIVE....!
