Did we like it?

A mere four out of 10 for this 33rd series opener.

What was good about it?

• Krishnan Guru-Murthy and Michael McIntyre were cheery yet unspectacular guests.

• Paul Merton’s flamboyant shirt. So metrosexual!

What was bad about it?

• Jeremy Clarkson as a guest host. He still thinks swearing is clever. What a child! He thinks being bombastic is amusing. What a prick! He has a disgusting pot belly. What a slob!

• Paul Merton overdid his confused looks.

• The Steve Irwin joke not because it was tasteless but because it was unfunny coming from Clarkson.

• The clips are getting increasingly unfunny, gleaned from YouTube’s less amusing postings.
