How annoying is he?

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 21:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Not as irritating as John Hannah (Sliding Doors etc.) Both think they're the bees knees however.

― pete s, Tuesday, 24 February 2004 21:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Man, I used to think John Hannah was super-hot. What's wrong with me? (Don't answer that!)

― Donna Brown (Donna Brown), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 22:01 (twenty-two years ago)

john hannah in four weddings and a funeral...that surely wins smug performance over sliding doors (though it's a tough choice)

less lines=more smug

Thankyou.

James Nesbet is the most annoying man on TV ever - why the fuck is he on everything? why, more to the point, are the same actors in everything. Robson Green, Hermoine Norris, John Simm, David Morrisey, the bird from cutting it etc.

Nesbet is the worst tho, no contest. CUNT!

i don't have a problem with him

Wasn't he one of the Monkees? The one whose mom invented White Out? If not, then surely he ought to be.

― Aimless (Aimless), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 22:24 (twenty-two years ago)

White Out! The britpop band so poor we can't even remember them to slag them off!

― pete s, Tuesday, 24 February 2004 22:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Aimless, you're thinking of Michael Nesmith.

― hstencil, Tuesday, 24 February 2004 22:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Er, Hermione Norris has been in about one programme since leaving Cold Feet. This does not really constitute taking over the TV.

The real culprit here is surely Sarah Lancashire. At least the others have each been in something of note.

Nah, ive seen here in 3 or 4 things, or trailers of things, these past few months.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 23:25 (twenty-two years ago)

A quick google reveals that she's made precisely two TV shows since leaving Cold Feet.

(I'm not a fan of hers or anything, I just don't think she's got quite the omnipresence of, say, the Robson Green of a few years ago)

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 23:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I think jed should uninstall his CCTV setup now.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 23:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey I loved him in Bloody Sunday!

― Gear! (Gear!), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 23:34 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah that was his best thing. unfortunately at the moment we're getting heavy rotation of the 'haircut? here i'll have a bash at it' ads

― pete s, Tuesday, 24 February 2004 23:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry there. This one's the guy who nailed the peach basket up and tossed a ball at it, right?

― Aimless (Aimless), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 00:55 (twenty-two years ago)

he is a prick and john hannah too especially by being in that herbie film

The other guy in the yellow pages yoga ad ("C-H-I-R-O" etc.) is a friend of mine (hardly Suzy-level name dropping, but I try), and he says James Nesbitt is an excellent chap.

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 12:56 (twenty-two years ago)

six months pass...

please make him go away.

and take Martin Clunes too.

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 28 August 2004 00:22 (twenty-one years ago)

My flatmate was larfing and larfing at their Yellow Pages advert the other day!

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 28 August 2004 14:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I am hating the idea of him starring the adaptation of "Quite Ugly One Morning" by Christopher Brookmyre. The character of Jack Parlabane in the book is blond, wiry, intelligent and very very Scottish. Quite how they all sat down and went "Yes! That's the very part for James Nesbitt!" is anyone's guess. Also his girlfriend in the book is English, and who do they pick? Daniela fucking Nardini. I have heard they have delesbianised one of the other main characters as well for ITV prime-time sensibilities, but given that the book starts with a mutilated body being found with its own fingers chopped off and stuck up its arse and a turd on the mantelpiece, I think that's the least of ITV's worries.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 28 August 2004 14:48 (twenty-one years ago)

He's a dreadful choice for Jack Parlabane. But I suppose Robert Carlyle (surely the ideal man for the job) is too big these days for that kinda thing. Is it not the case though, that ITV has central contracts for their 'big name' drama actors, cf Sarah Lancashire, Ross Kemp, Robson Green et al?

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Saturday, 28 August 2004 15:37 (twenty-one years ago)

I thought Ewen Bremner or Dougie Henshall, but they aren't exactly ITV primetime stars either.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 28 August 2004 15:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Ewan Bremner's too tightly in the 'idiot' pigeon-hole though, eh naw? Either way, the sad fact is that people will watch BECAUSE James Nesbitt's in it. Daniella Nardini's a funny one though...isn't the wife ginger or at least fair in the book? Her ice cream's magic but.

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Saturday, 28 August 2004 15:44 (twenty-one years ago)

She's English, never mind what she looks like (Sarah, that is, not Daniela Nardini).

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 28 August 2004 15:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm mixed up, I though she was the lass out of eastenders ages ago. D'oh!

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Saturday, 28 August 2004 15:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Danniella Westbrook (EastEnders ages ago)

Daniela Nardini (icecream heiress and odd looking bird)

Does that help?

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 28 August 2004 15:55 (twenty-one years ago)

naw naw naw....you remember the lassie from C4's Young Person's Guide to being a Rock Star? It was she I thought of.

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Saturday, 28 August 2004 15:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, Nicola Stapleton (I watch too much telly). She would have been quite good, I think.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 28 August 2004 15:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Aye. Turns out her name in that programme was 'Joe Nardone'. Amazing what skews yer thinkin'.

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Saturday, 28 August 2004 15:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Nesbett is the global ambassador for gender stereotyping.
