    i only started watching the panel post-dara o briain which is unfortunate i guess because i have nothing but bad memories of the show and eventually stopped watching it cos i never got a laugh. I think the english panel shows are far far better

    Too many of them at the moment, and Dara's Mock the Week happens to be the worst one.

    More writers, different comedians each week and more money is required for The Panel.

    I would say Never mind the Buzzcocks beats Mock the Week for the worst panel show. The best which I have only recently been introduced to, is the weird and wonderful QI.

    I don't care tbh, the Panel really has been sh*t since Dara left. Agreed with pretty much all the points made so far. It's just sh*te now, let it die. And don't ever let a woman back on the show, unless they're topless.

    I only "properly" started watching TP during the most recent series and found it brilliant. I have seen videos from other series' of it and they seem good.

    I don't think it's changed a whole lot from when Dara was a regular on it though.

    It's irritates me though when they have women on it who are only there so sit there, show some cleavage and smile.

    Personally, if I was one of those girls and RTE paid me to go on a show and contribute sod all, I'd turn them down. I'd rather not make a fool of myself in the public eye.

    I have no idea what "elad" is, sorry!:o

    I think it is funny that the Girls on boards just view the woman as there to show their cleavage, while the lads want the girls on the panel to go topless.

    It seems to me that the Panel have got it just right.

    While I would never argue against gratuitous cleavage on TV (MOAR!!!!) I wouldn't mind if they actually put some genuinely funny people on it. Pauline McGlynn was good when she was on as was Maeve Higgins. Doubt you could find that many funny female comedians in Ireland though tbh.
