Advantages: Amusing, Entertaining

Disadvantages: Not on often enough!

I have quite often watched Frank Skinner, and have been amused, sometimes a little shocked, and definitely thoroughly entertained!!!

And last nights programme, with the Appleton sisters was no exception!

Although not one of his most outrageous programs yet, it was a nice change to see guests answering questions up front, and not squirming in their seats (at least not too much!).

As everyone knows, the Appleton sisters have been heavily written about recently, after the release of their book Together, with the biggest revelation being that Nicole Appleton felt ?forced? to have an abortion by record bosses, and that Robbie Williams was the father.

But instead of the normal avoidance, often seen with guests, even on the Frank Skinner show, they took the questions and answered with humour and what seemed to be honesty, (although, of course, we may never know the whole story!).

Frank Skinner also treated the Appleton sisters in the same way, keeping the questions lighthearted and again, entertaining the audiences, both in the studio and at home.

When Frank first broached the subject of their book, both the sisters took a sip of water and a deep breath, and made the audience laugh, as they obviously knew what was coming.

Allegations were shrugged off, (after all who believes everything they read in the papers!), and the whole subject was treated as it should have been, with some humour and some seriousness. The whole abortion scenario was asked about, and confirmation was made that Robbie Williams was indeed the father.

Frank also asked Natalie a difficult question, being did she feel she had been ?there? enough for her sister throughout the ordeal, and she responded by saying that the bullying that was taking place was not centred around Nicole and that she had been on the receiving end too, making a bit difficult to be there for Nicole at all times. However she did go on to say that she felt
bad that she hadn?t been able to do more.

I am not saying that I agree with what the sisters have been through, and that is a whole other opinion, but to see someone like Frank Skinner, who is well known for ?assassinating? his guests on occasions, I feel he handled his guests well!

All the best for the future Frank, and look forward to seeing more of your guests and outrageous shows soon!
