Counting down the culture
That’s righty… the Bullshit Bingo podcast is now available every month on the wonder that is iTunes, and Episode 10 is up there right now.

Knock knock! Who’s there? Doctor!
Time for the July podcast, folks! Which sees – or rather: hears – us discussing David Tennant, Coldplay, David Tennant, ageing celebrities, David Tennant, stars we’d give our partners a free pass to sleep with and David Tennant.
And did we mention David Tennant?

Speak softly and carry a big stick,
The BS Bingo boys and gal
Or to put it another way: ‘Why does everyone suddenly hate Coldplay?’
Neil Diamond. Dolly Parton. They used to be uncool, but now they’re cool.
Coldplay. They used to be cool, but now they’re uncool.
Confused? So are we. Fortunately, Eddie can explain all.
Who would you add to our list of rehabilitated/newly pilloried stars? And do you hate the obvious music tastes of white, middle-class, thirtysomething men as much as Andrea? Don’t hold back now…
Girls: You’re at a party – and so is George Clooney. He clearly wants you. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. Wouldn’t it be grrrreat if your boyfriend would let you sleep with him? Just this once!
Guys: Your girlfriend’s at a party – and so is George Clooney. He clearly wants her. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. Would you or wouldn’t you give her permission to sleep with him? Go on. Just this once!
The BS Bingo team discuss this thorny moral dilemma who they’d happily let their partner jump into bed with. And who’d they’d like to have permission to jump into bed with – obviously. Some names which crop up:
Every thinking and non-thinking woman’s crumpet, David Tennant (the sponsor of this month’s podcast):
‘Mature content’ actress Jenna Jameson (Sean’s choice, but also falls into my ‘wouldn’t be a real threat’ category):
The ever-so slightly scary Tom Cruise (WARNING: DON’T LOOK INTO HIS EYES FOR TOO LONG):
The dashing, collar-up Colin Firth (for sound effects, see Mama Mia!):
And who was Eddie’s unexpected choice?
Thinking about it, I’d let a partner sleep with Angelina Jolie. Which is apparently also what Jennifer Aniston said. No, wait, hang on…
…and David Tennant’s new assistant, now that Catherine Tate’s gone?
A few of the suggestions from the podcast:
Julian Barratt (he’s the one on the right)
National embarrassment Lovable eccentric Boris Johnson
Peaches Geldof (now we’re just getting silly)
So, what about you? (As in: who do you think. Not: would you like to be the big-screen Doctor Who/David Tennant’s new assistant). Give us your suggestions in a comment below. We promise to pass them on to Stephen Moffatt/the studio bigwigs. No, really. We do. We have contacts. And they really do pay attention to us. No, really. They do.
Ah, schoolboy/girl crushes! Where are they now?
In Kim Wilde’s case, doing the gardening:
To justify my choice: here’s Alan Alda as Hawkeye Pierce in M*A*S*H (get it now, fellas?!):
Kylie Minogue then and now (I don’t quite get what Tom’s going on about):
And for Sean, the new-look Cyndi Lauper:
And you, dear reader/listener? Who were your crushes? Come on, tell us. We won’t tell (we’ll just put your comment live).
