What did you think of the show? (26/02/09)
The inimitable Mr T, aka The A Team's BA Barracus, joined Adrian and Christine in the studio. Mr T is pictured, above, discussing financial products with Dom Littlewood.
Gyles Brandreth explored the origins of the Seven Deadly Sins. Which modern sins do you think should be added to the list? Get it off your chest on our blog.
In the current economic climate things are not looking good for savers. Dom Littlewood looked at whether Premium Bonds are a good place to keep your cash. Let us know what you think.
Our resident environmentalist Lucy Siegle examined the option of a 'green' funeral. She looked at recycled cardboard coffins and natural burial sites.
In the penultimate film in Dan Snow's Days That Changed Britain series, he visited Deal in Kent to tell the story of the Roman invasion. Watch all the films so far here. Let us know your suggestions for days that changed Britain.
Also: Don't forget, you can donate to Comic Relief via the Red Nose Day website.
Plus: You can still have a go at our Body Tricks.

Mr T, what a likable funny man, if you close your eyes he sounds just like Mohamed Ali, also Mr T came up with a modern day sin, drinking and driving.

Being a regular viewer since it started, tonight's show has got to be the best yet.
Just show's what you can do with excellent guest's.
It's pointless bloggers slagging off Adrian and Christine's performances, but without the right guest's they don't stand a chance.
The last 2 nights with Al Murray and Mr T.
they actually looked to be enjoying it
Keep it up please

A good guest tonight who was both charming and amusing.

I love Dan Snow more!

What a difference, a guest who is charming and funny and polite.
Shows up Morrissey, Brand and Moyes. If they had half of his charm they would be doing well.

So no one wants to see Christine gunged?

A good show which Christine really enjoyed hosting. Adrian did well and Dan Snow was fun. Well done all.

I am a recent convert and enjoy the show. My only wish is that Dominic Littlewood's contributions would treat us as intelligent human beings and not as stay-at-home, daytime TV halfwits.

I agree wholeheartedly about Mr T being one of the best guests for a long while. What a gentleman he is, just a shame Mr Chiles couldnt tear his eyes away from his script again all the while Mr T was talking to him. Somebody needs to tell Mr Chiles that it is rude not to look at the person when they are talking to you. Why does he need a script anyway for his nightly contribution? Why bother asking your guests any questions if you are just going to continue looking at your script when they answer. Very rude Mr Chiles.

Adrian Chiles is out of his depth and is not up to the job.
New Labour BBC see him as appealing to the "common man" and pay him £1.2 million pounds a year for the pleasure.
Since his involvement with Jo Brand in branding Carol Thatcher a racist and getting her sacked the common man is no longer interested in him.
Complain about this comment
Re15: It is because Chiles is an amateur and also because he is genuinely interested in little else but himself. But then, technically he is not an amateur bearing in mind his salary of £1,000,000. In these circumstance it is not unreasonable for us to demand from him the highest standard of performance. In my opininion he does not deliver. How many of those among the champions of the show truly believe that Chiles is worth £1,000, 000 of our licence fee?

Re5: Of course Christine and Chiles stand a chance. They get paid to stand a chance. They are paid to ensure that the audience is entertained irregardless of the quality of the guests.

I see lots of comments about Adrian's salary. Does anyone know if Christine gets paid the same or more? She does the job far better as well as being much nicer to look at.
Complain about this comment
Re 20: According to reports Christine is paid less than Chiles and has recently agreed to a cut in salary. Nothing about Chiles' salary though. Presumably because he is considerd to be the star of the show and consequently indispensable. That is not an opinion I share.

I was surprised at how small Mr T looked.

Mr T must have lost weight, he looked bigger in the A. Team.

Re 22 & 23 And I remain surprised at the size of Adrian's salary and our licence fee.

IMDB reckons he's 6' 1'' - so how tall must Adrian Chiles be , looking at the photo?

Re 25: Adrian will be very tall if he stands on top of wallet.

Re comment 16, would you still be so supportive of Thatcher if she'd made those comments whilst in the presence of Mr T?

I do wish that Mr Childs would not grin so much,,,
The state of his teeth are enough to turn you off the programme for good
Christine may be taking a cut in her salary?
But what did she get for being on the lottery ???

Great to see and hear Mr T pity about the noise from C. B. sounded like a shrieking banshee,but at least there is not so much twitching of late to irritate

You are obviously from The One Show production team.
Carol Thatcher used the word golliwog in the presence of Adrian Chiles and Jo Brand in private in the green room.
It was not meant to be racist and referred to a French tennis player with fuzzy hair who was playing tennis in Australia.
Do you agree with branding Carol a racist and sacking her unfairly from her TV job with The One Show?
Would you expect to be sacked for something you said in private in your lunch hour?

Change the tune will you
A work place is not private
A work place with guests from outside the business present is DEFINITELY not private.

Re comment 30 I do not or never have worked for the BBC.
The answers to your final two questions are yes and it would be very likely.
Furthermore, unless you know Thatcher personally or have spoken to her how would you know if the comment was intended to be racist or not?
Complain about this comment
Mr T was indeed a great guest which only showed up Chiles as the useless bumbling twerp that he is. Anybody, and I mean anybody, could do a better job. He contributes absolutely nothing to the proceedings.
PS And you would thing that with his huge salary he could afford some new teeth.
Complain about this comment
Oh well let's see what delights we get from tonights show and, who knows, maybe Mr Chiles will actually leave his script in his dressing room and take notice of his guests for a change.
PS Had no idea he was earning that amount of money.

DIDNT BLOG LAST NIGHT,,,BUT INTERESTING READING ROBERT BRIDGET AGAIN.
IF YOU SAY ANYTHING AGAINST CAROL THATCHER STRAIGHT AWAY HE SAYS YOU WORK FOR THE ONE SHOW.
I STATE AGAIN,I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ONE SHOW,I LIVE IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND AND PAY A FEE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE TO WATCH THE TELEVISION.
CAROL THATCHER IS RIGHTLY ONE SHOW HISTORY,GET OVER IT.
YOU ARE PROBABLY MARK THATCHER IN DISGUISE.

Well said Hokeykokeyalex, although I do doubt if Mark Thatcher could find this blog as he's not renowned for his navigation skills.
Apparently I work for The One Show too, even though I'm licence paying, non BBC employee, living in the north of England.

Great show, really enjoyed it. Not sure what the fixation on seeing the presenters gunged is about though.

It would just be funny and raise loads - especially as Christine looks so nice all the time.

The show with Mr T was fantastic, one (no pun intended) which I had to record. Is it possible to get any of the remaining members of the A Team on the show, also the remaining members of the classic 'Auf Wiedersehn Pet' that would be an absolute great show, especially if the show, just for once, could be dedicated to this classic series, I do enjoy the show and the content and also the lighted hearted and relaxed presentation.
To all those behind the scenes well done you do a great job and to Christine & Adrian you also do a great job, long may it continue.
Regards
