What did you think of The One Show? Guest: Jack Dee
Comedian Jack Dee joined Adrian and Christine on The One Show sofa.
As you may have noticed, Christine is suffering from a sore throat. She also has an irritating cough, says Adrian! So, Mr Chiles is asking for your advice. Do you have a coughing cure for Christine? Share your hints and tips here - and you may get a mention on the show.
If you'd like a mention on the programme, please add your genuine first name and location to your comments.
Also on the show: Jimmy Carr's recent gag about injured servicemen has raised questions again about offence in comedy. Paddy O'Connell investigated. Watch an outtake from Paddy's interview with Barry Cryer below.
Mike Dilger and Miranda Krestovnikov are on Garden Watch this week. Tonight, Mike and Miranda spied kingfishers and toads, and listened out for an unusual bird call.
Angellica Bell told us about a spooky unsolved murder that happened in the West Midlands.
In Norfolk, Lucy Siegle looked at deterring door-to-door sellers.
And if Lucy raises the most cash she'll have to make a splash...

hot toddy is the trick.... you need 1 double brandy and a tablespoon of honey in a glass.... puncture a thick wedge of lemon with 2 cloves and add it... then fill with hot water or tea and add a cinnamon stick... tastes great and after a couple you'll forget all about your cough...

A bowl of steam and towel over the head works wonders, even better with some Vicks, olbas oil, herbs or essential oils in the water.
Chest rub with Vicks or something natural like Maia Winter Magic balm really works.

This comes from my friend in Australia, and it really works...sounds strange combo, but its wonderful!
I take 1 cup of water and put it into a small saucepan on the stove.
Add the juice of a small lemon, 1 tablespoon of honey or to taste, 1 small piece about an inch of fresh ginger, 1 small round chilli or a piece about 1 inch long, 1 clove of garlic crushed.
Bring this to a boil then turn heat down and simmer for about 15 minutes.
Strain into a mug and sip before you go to bed...you'll sleep like a baby and it will relieve the runny symptoms of the head cold.
I know it sounds like it's going to blow your head off but it is a very soothing drink.

Jimmy Carr's recent gag about injured servicemen has raised questions again about offence in comedy. Paddy O'Connell investigated.
This country needs to grow up with its sense of humour. Comedy is all about making people laugh and is rarely ever ever used maliciously. The majority of us always laugh at others people's expense no matter what the comment as we know it was intended purely as a joke. You CAN be funny without offence but that applies to a much smaller audience who's main interest in comedy itself isn't that active.
I am a very big fan of comedy. Being in the audience of the Hammersmith apollo during shows on more than one occasion. The offensive type of comedy is what we all strive to listen to and enjoy.
Grow up with all this political correctness and safeguard comedy.

For sheer two-faced hypocrisy, Chiles's comment to Jack Dee about offenderati takes the biscuit, after his attempts to encourage Holly Johnson to take offence at a Daily mail article that Chiles deemed homophobic, not to mention the way he treated Carole Thatcher.

Dear Christine,
This is a very good cold remedy that my Grandmother used to take and our family still takes today.
It is called PULMO BAILLY and can be brought in Boots and some other chemists and costs around £3.65.
It smells like Road Tar, but it really works, you have to dilute it with water and can even take it with fresh orange juice.
Not only is it good for coughs and colds, but it will help you get a good nights sleep.
Good luck and get better soon.

hello, my advice, well infact what i do and it works.
is as follows to have a pan of meduim fried onions per week to keep cold away, and if you need more to help cough and cold settle down,
then the next step is to have a hot cup of lemonade with one sugar in before bedtime.
and to finish of if the next morning your cold cough etc still needs that helping hand then the final step is to have two teaspoons full of honey works everytime.
good luck ,

Use Frankincense as the French do, one tiny drop under your tongue and put a small amount around your ears so that you don't get re-infected. Put a clove of garlic where the sun doesn't shine and special vitamin C every hour along with hot toddy. If you need more help, please let me know. I would come and get you back on track asap, at least feeling better within the hour.

Without doubt the only 100% cure is Pulmo Baileys cough medicine. Not completely sure of the spelling but once Christine has one dose of this she will never cough again. It tastes absolutely horrid and once taken you will never want to taste it again and the coughs are a thing of the past.

Cough cure/assistance.
try a large spoon of Honey with a couple of slices of lemon with hot water in a mug before going to bed and this will help ese the symptoms. Also you can have this drink at any time during the day so have one just prior to the show, it might help.

Good heavens! Host_Ryan is back! Where have you been? We are pleased by your return. Tell you what Ryan, in spite of your big THANK YOU I bet you that none of these cures is ever mentioned on the show. They will vanish as did the correction from Dan snow that I was promised in writing by your editor, Lynne Jones. This what she said:
"Dear Mr Holyer
Thank you for taking the time to get in touch and point out the error that
was made on The One Show on 31st March 2009.
You are absolutely right that Wolsey was not beheaded. As soon as the
programme came off air Dan Snow realised what he had said.
While he had been broadcasting live we had altered what we wanted him to do
and gave him more time, and in trying to fill this time he made an error.
When Dan is next live in the studio or on an Outside Broadcast we will get
him to correct what he said, by taking him to task about it on air.
We don't believe The One Show is prone to errors of fact, but it is a live
show, and every now and then we do make mistakes, which are usually
corrected very quickly.
Best Wishes
Lynne Jones
Deputy Editor
The One Show"

johnholyer.............host ryan will appear every now and then to make it look like the blog is important and that they pay attention to what is said.
if they were serious they would make it really interactive with regular answers and feedback to what we say either on the show or maybe by someone from the show using these blogs to really communicate with us.
what do we get,,,the one show web show with handpicked happy blogs from "george from watford" because adrian cannot be bothered with our user names,to childish for him i think.
i really think he only see's humour in anything he does-he must be the centre of attention.
the truth is if we complain on this blog believing it is heard and acted on we might not email an official complaint.
didnt watch the show but picked up from the blog they must have asked for cough cures,,,,i think they may well mention a few well chosen ones on the friday show.
if you want to get mentioned go down the trivia route,have no opinion and use your real name and place.
they love little pointless blogs that say nice things about the presenters or are trivial.
