Anyone else remember back to the good old days when they would have an actual sceptic in the studio!
Nowadays you have 100% believers and no sceptical input at all.
And no i dont count Ciaran for obvious reasons

they should have at least one.....but then they'd bully and belittle him/her whatever they said no matter how much sense they were making.
PS so far it's been
taps moans and now the hint of a stone throw

I doubt Louie will ever work on TV again. But Matthew Smith would do a good job.

How about a one off appearance by Richard Dawkins?

Why would they want skeptics on there ruining the fun with their fancy facts and level headed observations? The well crafted stories of giant baby eating demons farting from the mouth of hell to push Stuart and flick stones at the crew while whistling would be wasted on them.

Yeah, skeptics don't know where it's at

to be fair, a sceptic would first need to define what "it" is and where "that" is geographically located. Then provide several mutually supportive accurate and technical resources to help verify his claim.

Rather than an academic, or anyone with any authority on the matters at hand, they should just have a normal, down-to-earth person with more than half a brain to do a running commentary throughout the show. Perhaps a red button feature. Actually, can it be Charlie Brooker? God that would be marvellous.

I apologise sincerely. I wasn't trying to pull anyone up over spelling mistakes in the thread I made. It was a badly put bad 'joke' ... I gave an explenation in the thread Have a karma!

Whenever i saw a show with Matthew Smith on there, he was always getting booed by the audience. Would you want to sit there and be booed by a bunch of woo-dizzy believers? No, me neither.

I remember when David Wells was on the couch with Matthew Smith in the studio, everytime Matthew gave his opinion David would give big yawns & say "How very boring" I wouldn't touch that show if I were a well known educated sceptic.

Exactly, if they wanted a sceptical opinion to add a rational point of view then fine. But they just had them there on the couch to be able to say "see, we do sceptical!"

David went on and on about crystals he's got from some meteorite so they're extra special *yawn* and then as soon as Ciaran was explaining what equipment he had, David did the old fake yawn thing and pretending to nod off. Err, I think Ciaran's speech was a hell of a lot more interesting and significant than harping on about crystals and having the pentagram "the RIGHT way round". Ugh. He bores the tits off me.

Wells is an uncouth yob when it comes to people taking him to task. Matt Smith was the only reasoned & objective voice in the entire show and gave it some gravitas in spite of all the crap he got both on stage and off.
Just out of interest; whatever happened to him? Was he pushed or left on his own accord?
