Episode 65 [LAST SHOW EVER]

It's the last show ever and Paul's been locked away all day so has no idea what's going on. He meets his first guests Beverley Callard and William Roache, before JLS perform. His biggest fan Joannie Taylor (Catherine Tate) then hijacks the show, introducing some leaving messages from some other famous fans. Then it's one present after another as Scott Maslen, Kate Thornton & Natalie Cassidy, Mel Sykes & Joe McFadden have gifts for Paul and theirs also a very special present from Linda Thorson & Honor Blackman.

Aired: 12/18/09

    best tea-time show ever ! hide show

    this show has the perfect formula, hilarious host, great celebrities that arent c - lister's, good music, dogs! and a fun quiz. Paul is such a legend, he is so funny and makes the show what it is, even when it has a geust i dont know of he manages to liven up the show with his humour. This show just seems to never dissapoint and it remains the king of tea-time telly especially compared to richard and judy and other toot that is on at 5:00. I have to say my favourite ever episode of this show was the last one before christmas last year and it had peter kay on there dressed as a snow man!

    This a teatime entertainment show. hide show

    Paul Ogrady is the host and brings the show alive. Its a mix of celeb guests that he talks to and normal people that has special talents. There are lots of children on the show too, he really does get everyone involved. He makes special people's deams comes true (very often brave and special children). He also very often has lots of abanded dogs, and lots of clinics for other animals, there is even a resident vet. Paul has a special co-host - his dog Buster. Buster gets more fan mail than Paul. Paul also plays on his organ to try and help people win money. Paul has just the right mix of charm and wit which makes him the perfect host to a great show.

    A chat show not to be missed! hide show

    So make sure you change the channel from ITV to Channel 4!

    Now this is a superb show and wa sbeating Richard & Judy in the ratings. It's a great show as Paul likes to include the whole community on his show as he has kids, OAP's, gives out rewards to people and have two guest celbrities on.

    There is also an organ game which we all know, he doesn't play but none the less it's a good game! The nodding busters were good and it was great the first day on Channel four.

    Paul: I'm expecting ITV to drop a bucket of water over me!

    So make your you tune in on Monday!
