Bill Bailey Presents Show on Sky 1, instantly becomes unfunny and unlikable

total prick

One of the most loved comedians in the UK and Ireland, Bill Bailey, became an unfunny, unlikable dick today, when I saw an ad for a programme he is presenting on Sky 1. Bailey, once a brilliantly funny comedian, and a genuinely nice guy, was instantaneously transformed into an obnoxious self obsessed moron. The programme, focusing on the wacky world of bird watching, is yet another in a long list of celebrity fronted specials on Sky, that focus on the lighter side of some pastimes that are seen as quintessentially British. Usually presented by Justin Lee Collins, with his characteristic faux enthusiasm and inane banter, Sky's producers have obviously decided that this type of programme sometimes requires a more 'alternative' voice - placing someone as quirky and idiosyncratic as Bailey into the staid world of British birdwatching is obviously a recipe for hilarity. In their eyes. In mine, its a recipe for me hating Bill Bailey, but then, you say potato, I say potato, but pronounce it differently.
