Best TV moment of the year

[hugoboss]

does anyone else think that Paul Burrell eating those beasties was one of the funniest TV moments this year??! I was in stitches!!

Or does anyone want to nominate an even funnier TV moment of the year?

I'm with you on that one. I was crying with laughter. I did also feel quite sorry for him though and I thought he did incredibly well compared to previous people doing the same trial.

But god his face and the tapping was just hilarious. I'm sure it'll haunt him for years

Even funnier was the Saturday night challenge I thought.

I didn't watch it, because I have a real problem with people eating animals alive for entertainment, I think it's morally wrong. Just because animals are physically repugnant to us, and do not appear to suffer, is no reason to eat them alive to entertain a TV audience. Raise the animal order slightly - would Paul Burrel wringing a kitten's neck and eating it appeal in the same way? If not, you have to ask yourself if the ill treatment of any species for fun is really the way we shoud look for relaxation in a civilsed society.

i was so surprised he didnt throw up. he did well to hold that lot down!! i'd have been sooo tempted to go for the fish'n'chips or the cheesecake!! bless him, he did well didnt he?!

Andy - it didnt appeal to me because he was eating live animals, it was his reaction to it that was funny. all the facial expressions and the foot tapping. Anyway, this was meant as a light hearted question! i love animals as much as the next person.

Peter Kay hijacking the 4 Puffs and Piano guys on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross and having a singalong before his interview........class !

Fantastic bit of telly. The Incredible Hulk shirt ripping was absolutely hilarious.

Sorry hugoboss, I am unable to separate the act from the reaction. I could give you an amazing funny face as I pull the head off a swan - but it's not entertaining is it?

Andyhughes .... chill out.

We appreciate your feelings so please appreciate ours. Luckily we're not all the same.

I absolutely appreciate your views - I hope my answer did not infer that I am taking the moral high ground here. I know I am very much in the minority with view - i simply attempted to put the situation into perspective. i do find our approach to lower order animals to be based on their agreed lack of visual appeal. It interests me, and I won't bang on about it any more, i think everyone has made thier points fairly - we must simply agreee to differ.

It was hilarious - especially Ant and Dec stood there trying not to burst out laughing themselves and one of them saying in the middle of it, deadpan, "you're struggling with this one, aren't you?". having said that, i'm kinda with Andy, my defence is that i only tuned in at the moment he was eating the kangaroo's testicle. the kangaroo was definitely dead (and presumably had not been killed for the sole purpose of the former Royal Butler eating its 'nad.

Funny, but the guy was totally playing up to the cameras.
