When I was young, we didn't have central heating or insulation. We sometimes had ice on the insides of the windows, as a kid I would watch my breath to see how cold it was. We had 3 bar fires that we sat round. I honestly can't remember anyone dying. We just put on an extra jumper!

Sadiq Khan would be my plank of the week for the rest of time

I personally think calling Starmer a plank is insulting to wood

Laurel Hubbard's a man. What's he doing winning NZ's Sportswoman Of The Year? 🤡🌍

Nobody should be forced to lie, in support of someone else's beliefs, or fantasies, or delusions.

Last week Tonia and Richard was the best ever.

Top banter this week. I agree with Mike on everything. Mike is always right.

Why doesn’t stamer ruin rayners plans by coming out that he identifies as a woman the he can say that he is the first female leader of the Labour Party

His dad made tools. Mike: he's not wrong. Priceless, nice one Mike.

Practically all the houses in Britain have lofts with mineral wool and cavity walls and are thus insulated.

Hubbard was NOT voted as NZ Sportswoman of The Year. A small South Island University voted Hubbard as their Sportswoman of The Year.

An inquiry, the expensive alternative to actually doing something positive.

Have to say Love and adore POTW, and although a very different combination than last week's brilliant show still a very amusing one!! Lots Of classic one liners from both Mike and Dawn! Like cristo more and more each time I see him!!! More please Paula in sussex

I never expected to laugh so much when I clicked on this. Excellent show guys 😂👍

I was coming here to say that it wasn't NZ where they said not to talk to the neighbours, but in fact it was in Australia. But I have just gone to check that, and it looks like the PM of NZ did say that too. Oh dear.

That Norton also told Julia H brewer that she,d be responsible for the demise of capitalism 🙄😳😑🤣 Which is insanely amusing 🤔

Khan ... Londoner... Don't think so, I lived on the Mile End road then moved to Purley both now like suburban Mecca

John Barrowman stripped naked in that Doctor Who episode where he was on with the robot version of Trinny and Susannah. I reckon he co-wrote that scene.

"I just don't like musicals" haha. I agree 100% Mike and also agree that Wizard of Oz is an exception! Best lineup so far this!

Well that was a giggle .

Phew! Desks are back, thank goodness.

Mike “I don’t like musicals” proceeds to name musicals he likes😂😂😂

Sex is a biological thing and I learned all I needed from the Airfix kits I built where the male parts needed to be inserted into the female parts and held together until cemented.

"I never meant it in a sexual way" said Gary Glitter, Savile et al..... Barrowman should be behind bars getting just what he deserves.

At this rate the woke brigade will be banning the entire film output of the 70's, the decade when we were all free.

9:46 I wish I was on Wandworth Bridge that day. Not only would I have dragged them off the street, they would have needed emergency dentistry.

That had me in stitches when she said you cant even get a bus to stop in best of times...lol

'Dont try and lighten the mood by getting it out mrs barrowman' made me LOL

Jurgen Klopp for comparing those who are hesitant of the getting the vaccine to drink drivers.

With this programme all is not lost in the country! Best watch there is,

See Mike has tidied himself up a bit, defiantly looking rather dapper, suave.

we had the same thing years ago in Canada. A hurdler who fell at the Olympics was named co-winner of Sportswoman of the year, along with a ParaOlympian who had won world championships and 5 Olympic gold medals. The hurdler was a minority, which is why she "won" The ParaOlympian refused the honour, since she had done SO much better than her co-winner.

In relation to Laurel Hubbard, it doesn't surprise me at all, that trained females can outperform untrained males (gotta be careful with my language). I expect Ms. Hubbard hasn't been putting in the training to compete at the level of a female olympian. Doesn't change the fact that a trained male will almost always be stronger, faster, and go for longer than a trained female, but a lazy male is still a lazy male

Lessons have been learnt. This phrase should get you sacked!

That was a very funny episode

That police commissioners comments should apply to everyone, most people irregardless of gender have no clue about the workings of the criminal system or what rights they have when it comes to matters with the police they should educate themselves about it

Surely John Barrowman lightening the mood is perfectly defensible, I mean people are always laughing at mine.

Fun fact: Laurel Hubbard failed to make snatch in the 2020 Olympics. 🤣👍

John Barrowman is a committed actor, I can only assume he thought the part warranted it.

That Greek Remainer Cristo is my Plank of the Week.

Norton.... your playing a really dangerous game

Loving the new look dawn

Who is the biggest Plank: Keir Starmer, Insulate Britain, Sadiq Khan or John Barrowman?

My room had a draft that circulates right above where I sleep and I went for years without a modern heating system. I don't know if Insulate Britain has noticed, but the UK is not a deadly cold country!

Evening U3. Question for You Mike. How Come, your hair parting is, one day towards thee left, then, another day, to thee right? Is it because of your political persuasion, when, just before, you transmit the program?

Laurel Hubbard should be the new James Bond

Different studio? last week there was no desk.....

Keir starters dad was a toolmaker, he truly excelled himself with Keir.

In that Spike Milligan biographical film and book, Spike in the army is shown getting his Rodger and friends out and putting it on a plate to entertain his troops in the barracks. So what do you know about comedy Mike?

Some people may have been a bit stiff 😬

Just watching news so simply fly I forget …..

Note to Dawn: Please stop staring at the camera and making weird faces

so, sadiq has a 5 litre range rover, not a prius, priceless!

I loved the - crack of Dawn - gag.

He used to race donkeys Eeyore't to have known better

Who is in charge of the camera work?.I got so dizzy as the camera shots was jumping from one person to the next .Does this person Think they are producing some mega production. Shall not be watching again when this person is in charge.

However, green as he tries to portray I bet as he promised he won't lay down on the tarmac at Heathrow to prevent a third runway

Put me right if I'm biologically wrong but a woman's cervix is a specific part of her body unique to them. If a trans man has a cervix then surely it's not a cervix unless it's donated in some way from a woman, Making the lower area to look like a cervix during surgery isn't a cervix..so they are not a woman. Seems sensible to me.

SIR KEIR STARMER 🤪

Dawn rules............as ever.

women seem to be having somewhat of a raw deal at the moment t' me

I live in France where the government is awarding income-based subsidies to householders to insulate lofts etc and replace oil fired boilers with heat pumps or other eco friendly heating methods.

dawn meeson. the star of this show. more please.why dont you hire her

I love Dawn

I love a musical. Is that a euphemism?

Innuendo Central!

Mike Graham Concrete Grower come get your freshly cut concrete, cement and aggregates, grown from Mikes magic bean's Plank's included

Had tonia Buxton jumped ship to gbnews now 🤔

My two favourite guests :)

34:24 cristo turning into the hulk

it was because of the whistleblower. FB was proving that we can't live without them.

Beat plank of the week ever.

Lot’s of domestic violence survivors, could tell you about the police 😡

It used to be called "meat and two veg" !!!!!

Scintillating team this week. Mike, surely you have to love Oliver, the musical?

Blooming' Musicals! - Scroll through - it goes on too long (rather like a musical!

carry over someone else. Harry and Megs need to win, they're such planks.

I watch POTW every week and usually really enjoy it, but this week's episode just got on my b****y nerves. Gave up in the end. Will come back next week.....

What a horrible thought “crack of Dawn”

Sorry but it was very noisy this week. I did not enjoy it at all. Why do you insist on trying to talk above everyone else, its not a competition. My Plank of the week this week is Plank of the Week

I didn't know that Cristo's surname was Foufas. You know what John Barrowman would call him . . . Frisco Poofass😁😁😁!!!

Any apology including the word “but” sounds insincere.

Those 2 are the least funny/most irritating guests you could choose. Bring Esther back shes class 👍🏻

She’s turned into a female Kenneth Williams

`funny, everyone else said it was DREADFUL

Meh, Don Lemon did it already.

Mike, I like you mate but Please stop interrupting

Think on this... 1. Fossil fuels are the result of millions of years of continuous plant growth. 2. Where globally are fossil fuels found.. just about everywhere? 3. How many areas, once covered in thick forest, and that once produced fossil fuels are now deserts, or scrubland? 4. When the plants were growing where did they get the CO2 from.. the atmosphere? 5. When there were high levels of CO2 in the atmosphere, were the temperatures so high that plants, insects, animals, etc couldn't grow? 6. At that time did the surface of Earth resemble that of Venus? 7. If the fossil fuels are burnt and the CO2 is returned to the atmosphere where it once was, won't the plants once again increase globally, and produce the oxygen we need?

Am I the only one who finds Dawn Neesom irritating?

It doesn’t get any more overrated than James Bond

The only musical worth watching is The Blues Brothers!!!

STARMA is a typical Lawyer, Someone who needs book for information, knows nothing and cannot be trusted!

Never got the female 007 thing. Plenty of female spy roles they could use or invent. Traditionally, Bond has killed trained mercs, hitmen and henchmen; when necessary with his bare hands. Usually to make it tense Bond is seriously outmatched at least once per movie in unarmed death match but wins by luck using the surroundings / similar turn up. (Us guys know Bond must win but how, and how much damage will he take? Will he finish the bad guy first time? etc etc.- Immersion sustained) Imagine an on screen unarmed fight to the death scene between Lashana Lynch ; 5' 9", 125 lb's and Dave Bautista ; 6' 6", 290 lb's And female 007 wins? Immersion destroyed; b/s alarm klaxons forcing guys to run from cinema's everywhere never to pay for a woke movie again.

What? Bojo not the winner every week, or is he such a plank that he been banned as a nominee and put in the plank hall of fame?

Look who is benefiting from this insulation rubbish :) these people are paid, that’s why they don’t block the roads on the weekends:)

It’s not the showbiz world. The man is just inappropriate !

Is it only me that has a crush on Dawn?

Boo, booo....👍🚬

Mike Graham’s dislike of Christo becomes stronger and more obvious every week, only the other day he suggested that in a biographic film of Mike Graham’s life, the part should be played by Christopher Biggins……..that comment was poorly received 😳

Very screechy again. Too much over talking, thank you Dawn. As an aside, I am proud to say that in my 70's I have avoided ever seeing 'Sound of Music'.
