Jack Whitehall
 
Typical ****ing Daily Fail outrage for outrage's sake.

Watched the Big Fat Quiz, had me and the family in tears (even Bahtatgirl who struggles with Brit humour).

The Mail is just so nasty. According to them it appears that being privately educated and well-spoken makes you a bad person? So his parents had/have money; so what? It sounds like envy to me.

There were just five complaints after the show was aired, then another 80 odd once the Mail had printed their shit stirring 'story'.

One of Jack's sins (and that of his colleague) was to DRINK in front of millions of viewers (can't remember if this was the Fail's stance, or some other shit-peddlars). Between the two of them they drank a WHOLE bottle of wine. On air. Scandalous.

Most astonishing bit in that report is the price of a six-bedroomed house in Putney........... :ohmy:

I thought the show was hilarious as well :rofl: Jack Whitehall has an amazing career ahead of him, I would like to see him and Corden write a sitcom.

I'd like to see Corden disappear forever.

why? I think he is really good, his sketch with George Michael for comic relief a few years ago was fab, I think he is really talented.

Never heard of either of them, but I never watch Celebrity Big Brother or that Strictly Come Dancing rubbish either. Unless a TV show was made pre-2000 then I'm not really interested. Stuck in a time warp, that's me.

I am surprised as you can download all of these shows for free ...

Jack Whitehall is very good in Fresh Meat...it seems university hasn't changed that much since I was there.

I suspect he's been making jokes at the Mail's expense and has incurred their wrath. I hope his career gets a massive boost from this storm in a tea cup. I watched the show and it was very funny.

You're thinking of Bad Education (I think)...that was piss funny.

Because he's irritating and not at all funny. He confuses being fat with being funny.

I thought he was really funny in Gavin and Stacey though, did you not like that?

No. Watched most of the first episode and didn't bother with any more. I have plenty of time for Ruth Jones though.

Yeah i liked Bad Education, it was funny, but I want to know where do these rich people get their posh accents, it's not localised :)

We all thought it was hilarious.

Couldn't see anything worth complaining about....but apparently a unedited version was going to be aired?

Watched this today, official release on Youtube. I really think the way the jokes were told was funny, and nothing at all like the 'text only' edited spin the Daily Fail put on it.

I used to have a posh(ish) accent from going to private school and a grammar that acted like one.

As soon as I got into a regular 6th Form college though, I dropped it immediately to save my handsome face from a pounding.

People speak a certain way because of the way their parents speak and who they mixed with growing up. If your parents speak properly or without an accent and you go to a school and have friends that speak the same way then that is how you will speak. Isn't that obvious?

disagree on that one, I have friends who are broad Geordies, not one of their three kids has a trace of a geordie accent. Does R sounds Geordie or Scottish to you?

Did you read the whole sentence? The school and their friends? It's different out here as the accent at home may be very different to what they hear from others or at school. For example, if she went to a school full of Welsh people, she'd pick up a Welsh accent.

thank goodness she doesn't, but it is strange that she has no dialect from us at all.

Your voice changes on who you are with. Ordinarily there is just a hint of Geordie, but put you with someone with a broad accent and you get broader and broader! And you have a posher radio voice too! :D

Re: Jack Whitehall
 
Nobody has answered my question, where do posh people get their accents from, where did it originate? is it because people aspire to talk like the queen, sorry, i am really interested, having just watched 36 episodes of made in Chelsea
:D
