Please Sir, can I have some Phroar!
=========================
Dosed up to the eye-balls with cash from our BBC licence payers, thrown to the exile lions last year, sours the BBC tone to depths of sordid anecdotes every week; and what you get is the 'fire-proof' Jonathan Ross.

ITV have been after him for years, but will have to induce extra lucrative deals with Microsoft advertising every 7 minutes to make Ross's head turn to the other side. Then again his package as vast as it is reported to be, it certainly brings a tear to your eye, in humour and of course the size of it. - I'm sure Andrew Sachs has a few four letter words to say about that.

When it is too hot to stay in the kitchen Ross slips on his chefs hat and energetically chops up a rocket salad; admiration, or is it blatant arrogance. The Beeb certainly have a prize bull-fighter on the pay-roll who can turn the screw, roll with the media punches Liam Gallagher style and be as smooth as Dr. Fox; it maybe even worth an applause, perhaps a slow one. Ross's entertainment value is far from the relaxed mono-toned Radox treatment Parkinson has engaged us with for many years, and now has run it's course, sent out to the 'knackers Yard'. Ross is edgy, spirited, colourful, and makes you scream 'blue murder'. - Only Ross would get away with that. Sachs is a whistle away to the nearest cop shop. Brand is now on the tax credit circuit, jollying on with his winkle.

Ross however is walking the walk only he knows best, with satirical quips that refresh hearts and boldly entertains in our mist of robust depressive recession that the bankers only reap from, with Ross styled bonuses. Thanks to a disgraceful banking reform system that has more get out clauses than Houdini on stage. I can stomach Ross's abundance of fees, because he is the ultimate survivor as far, due to true beefy entertaining and you know he works hard in the land of radio and TV. You see him at work, building up gags and being at the helm of the TV presenter homage. Whether, he will survive the back-lashing of BBC funds, cuts and dire strategic performance it wouldn't surprise me.

Interviewing is what Ross is known for; doing it in his own cavorting manner and systematically bordering on sexual harassment. He is punchy and notoriously with the script, even when he isn't. He's set a particular time-frame and that is where his interviewing structure starts and ends. The anecdotes he enriches his audiences and viewers is a tight knowledge of intellectual humour that is derived from a true understanding of what the cliché stroke fad is of the day. - Professors are getting their five a day of intellect from allowing themselves to be taken on the riveting ride that spells out true value entertainment with a piece of intellectual marrow bone thrown in. Crude and annoying blatantly off the record quips that stands out from the rest; clever, and of course his beloved dog 'Mr.Pickles', whose appearances on the 'embarrassing clip screen' in all disguises is a howler for all you Danny La Rues out there who love dressing up. Many other CGI effects are used as an entertainment factor. One of my favourites was different celebrities portraits sketched in Marmite on toast visuals.

There was a chocolate moulding piece as well that Ross scoffed his own chocolate 3D portrait quipping, - 'I love myself this much' and 'I'm an attractive fella'. - Mopping his chocolate coated face he then continued ' I've got more stuff on my face than on the chocolate mould; lets swap places!'

Bearing in mind his outlandish remarks have made red-tape for the BBC he still delivers a master-craft of mainstream humour that is effortless and natural. Rudeness becomes him when interviewing a well known fanciful actress, who squirms with coyness when the sex quips turns the air blue followed by a sharp follow-up question that cools off to a relevant piece that was evident in the movie. Clever, interludes and riveting viewing that makes Ross a mainstay entertainer. The guests provide the banter and orientated subject matter but Ross decides the questioning route depending on guest interaction. Surrealism brings audience into the fore as does sexual content gelled together with an underlined format creates the humour. Dialogues change circuit or directions and then re-routed to make relevance a structural deliverance. Ross has the audacity to expand the social boundaries that our very own conformities try to contrive. Breaking them down is a must, especially in a democratic nation with the wonders of 'Free Speech' and expression. When Politically Correctness offers a reason why Ross should calm down material, the whole material changes shape and then re-transformed into something more than humour, which wasn't the intention.

The BBC have stuck their necks out for true humour content. Ross and his guests are aware of the dangers that may arrive by individuals and organisations that suffice to choose not to understand what situation humour or location humour derived from. Ross is all about that in abundance. No-one can take that away from some-one whose made an identity and conveyed it to us in our living rooms. American guests have thwarted and wiggled with glee on the leather sofa, sneaking a squeak out of it, followed by a avalanche of one-liners. The props are available all geared up to fabulous behaviour that embodied our 'Carry-On' movies heritage. - Ross is a modern day Syd James, Phroar, ha ha ha ha!

Ross embarks on banter out of his floppy hair, broadening waist-line, and size 15 feet. Obviously well informed via current affairs and big on movies and processes a huge memory for film archive. - His interests also suffice to 'breasts' and so he should be, Mrs Ross has more than two handfuls, as is Jonathan.
