For any given chat (or talk) show, there will be three truly memorable editions in the course of its life. Name them.

one year passes...

Good grief! Did anyone just watch the '20 Best Chat Show Moments' thing on Five? I realise I should have been watching the docudrama about the Al-Qaeda Hamburg cell on C4, but I wasn't.

The clips themselves were entertaining enough to watch again (except for Emu and Parkinson - why on earth is this funny?) but REBECCA LOOS. Have you ever seen such an incompetent performance by a TV presenter in your life? They should have had Paul Morley talking about her instead.

I can only assume she was left to write the script herself. Sample lines:

After George Best and Oliver Reid: "Mmm.. I just fancy a glass of wine myself"

After that antiques boy, complete with post-op interview: "What a weird story!"

Before the No.1: "And now, the moment you've all been waiting for... but have you guessed what it is yet?"

All delivered in a manner that suggested she actually was reading off an autocue for the first time in her life.

Extraordinary.

I saw it. Best was the link where she was pretending to be looking at a text message on her phone and then went "Ooh, I think I'll answer that one later" in a saucy voice. I don't know what to make of her at all.

Oh, I missed that bit! Seriously, she is extraordinary.

I am writing an office memo right now - at 2:26am - I am going to work the work "saucy" in here somehow, even if it kills me.
