Lamarrs AttacksNewest Review: ... wittisisms and insults towards the guests are really classic. He appears sharp as a knife when he is putting the boot into pop star celebs with over inflated egos. So .... This Lammars Attacks. *What* on earth is the point of this program. I only watched the first episode, to be honest. I expected razor sharp wit and hilarity, but I just got whinging and moaning about various issues. They say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit but unfortunately no one told poor old Mark this! Just because you 'have a go' at certain things and issues, it doesn't necessarily mean it is funny or entertaining in any way. Marks guests on the f... more |

I was never really aware of this Mark Lammar until he appeared on Shooting stars ... what *is* he exactly? A presenter, a comic? Then of course he made the host of Never Mind The Buzcocks which is a really tip top show. His wittisisms and insults towards the guests are really classic. He appears sharp as a knife when he is putting the boot into pop star celebs with over inflated egos. So .... This Lammars Attacks. *What* on earth is the point of this program.

He’s a far better host than a comedian but combining both is seemingly hard. From the supremely odd introduction sequence that has his head superimposed on a naked baby’s body, singing some ghastly lyrics to the style of the show, he does himself no favours. Every show is supposed to tackle an issue but it is only vaguely covered. The guests are supposedly a representation of the topic that Lamarr is talking about but he covers very little ground and generally is an assault on the guest rather than the topic. It’s overall a strange and empty experience and does itself no favours borrowing from the templates of similar shows based ... Read the complete review

Mark Lammar really is very witty. This show is like a second series of last years ‘Leaving the Twentieth Century’ but it just takes a different name. He does stand up, and has a couple of guests on to talk about the subject he has chosen for the show. The guest interviews can be a bit dull and he only has about one and a half minutes talking to them. There's hardly a point. He has done a show on manners. That was my favourite of the last series. He spoke of a Man called Ken Tucky. He joked that this man had not cashed in on the link with the KFC restaurant chain, and he opened a restaurant called “Ken Tucky Fries Chicken.” I ...

I’ve always liked Marc Lamarr, so I’m a bit disappointed with this show. I don’t think he has quite enough in him to front a show, to be honest. Sorry, Marc. And the interviews, while not bad, always feel a little bit uncomfortable, which is never good to watch. I’ll watch this programme if there isn’t much else on, but suffice it to say, this is one which may interest Lamarr fans, and will repel those who find him… well, repellent (and I’ve been assured there are plenty of them). Worth a watch to see if you like it. ... Read the complete review

Mark Lamarr aka the fifties throwback is back with a new series in which he takes on a serious subject every week. The guests he has ha on the show however are surprisingly rubbish including thay stupid australian Germaine Greer. Mark Lamarr has the reputation of being horrible and hardly ever laughing but he can't seem to keep himself from laughing all the time on this. The opening credits are not to be missed though. He is a naked baby with his stupid face singing a really funny song. Oh, and check out his new haircut. ... Read the complete review
