I didn't like a lot of the Avid adds - they made me cringe rather than laugh, I'm afraid it's not my style of humour at all. I did actually meet Avid at the BB3 final and chatted very briefly with him while he was signing autographs and calling everyone 'warm'.

His real name is Leigh Francis and he starts his own show called 'Bo Selecta' this week on Channel Four Friday at 10:30pm. Here is the write-up from 'Heat'

-------

'The strawberry-blonde stalker introduces his latest celeb encounters live from his bedsit. He'll be helped by a pervy puppet called The Bear, and rubber masker stars with northern accents. Namely Craig David (hence the show's name), Brittney Spears (who we see swigging bitter on her days off) and Geri Halliwell ("Girl Power and all that shite"). All six shows will be filmed the week of broadcast, so Francis/Merrion can weave in topical stuff. Oh, and in case you were wondering, the neckbrace is needed because Liza Tarbuck punched Avid for telling her she looked better in trousers than a skirt. You will like him. He is warm.

-------

I will probably have a look at the first one to see what it is like, but I doubt I'll be a regular viewer.

I like Avid he is WARM!!!!
I will be watching this show it sounds very good

[BBCELEB]

really he used big brother is a platforum to be famous do you agree?

[Romantic Old Bird]

I'm sure he did. Whatever, he was often the best thing about BB3.

Don't like the 'John Lennon on the slab' trailer though.

[steve_o]

Sounds interesting, I'll have to have a look at that. I like the bit about Lisa Tarbuck, go for it Lisa.

[BusyBee]

Am not sure what to make of Avid - he certainly used the BB3 ads as a platform to get on in tv. Will wait until I see what is in the programme tonight.

[BBCELEB]

well i saw thr programme and it was ok but not hilarious, and i think 1 episode is enough becuase its a bit repetative do u agree or disagree?

[Amy]

I missed this last night was it any good

[BBCELEB]

it wasnt v good in my opinion but thats my 2 cents, it was basically him dressing up as celebrites who all looked the same, and he just did little clips, he also interviewd davina and jade told him to f off! lol

[Tonto1278]

The Jade bit was the funniest!!!!! It was the best bit of the show!
And the bit where told Davina tell Jade he wants to have de **** with her!!! lol

[BusyBee]

Tonto I quite agree the Davina and Jade bits were good. The rest of it - well what a load of rubbish. Dont think he could make up his mind what he was trying to do, but whatever it was he didnt succeed. Certainly shant make a point of watching again unless I hear it has improved.

i thought that Bo Selecta was really funny. he doesn't impersonate the celebrities, he takes the mickey out of them. thats why they all look the same.
