Horne and Corden.

The Emperor's New Clothes.

Naked Communications.

What do all three have in common I hear you ask?

Well, their day is done. Focusing on the comedy side of this posting we at H&G have long been gnashing our teeth that the pleasing whimsy of Gavin and Stacy has slowly been poisoned by the rise and rise of the two self proclaimed stars of it. And self proclaimed really is the reason why we and slowly the rest of the world has a problem.

You see, doing a robot dance and adding the suffix 'ar' to someones name may be lightly smile inducing once. And ignored thereafter. But it doth not a great comedian make.

Herein lies the problem.

Both of them think they are at the top of their game. A challenge to the greats and even, dare they say it, as good as Morecombe and Wise (they actually inferred this in a recent press article).

But anyone who witnessed the hideous car crash that was their Brits presentation knew at that moment that without Bryn, and Stacy and all the other marvelous cast, they were just one thing.

Tedious.

The Guardian when reviewing their recent live performance commented

'As my will to live fizzled away, I wondered: how has it come to this?'

Quite.
