Has anyone seen this clip of Carol from a preview of Monday's upcoming edition of Would I Lie To You?

Dear lord, who'd have thought Carol would be such a bad liar. But hey, she got Russell Howard to touch her pen, so kudos.

A member of one of the teams reads out a statement. The other team have to work out whether it's TRUE or a LIE.
It'd be interesting to see if what Carol says is true or not, but we'll have to wait till Monday to find out.

Re: Carol Vorderman on Would I Lie To You?
Yeah, it is. This is now its third series and the previous 2 with Angus Deayton as host were very funny. WIth Rob Brydon now as host, it should be even more exciting.Sue Sanders wrote:With the likes of David Mitchell and Lee Mack on the panel, it'll be funny.

Re: Carol Vorderman on Would I Lie To You?
Thanks for the link! Brilliant show IMHO.
But for traffic problems , me, 2 of my older kids, and 3 of my friends would've been in the audience.
I'd driven us all the way to Pinewood, too.
Still, we went to see the film 'The Boat That Rocked' instead, which had us howling with laughter!
And got priority tickets to a later episode.

I was surprised it was true, though. I've only seen Countdown episodes recorded since Rachel and Jeff took over, so didn't know the answer. I would've thought it'd be distracting for the contestants. Any comments from contestants in the Carol days?
I thought that the banter was hilarious, and as the recordings last about 2 hours, so much more material, ii's a pity I missed it. Look out for tales from Marcus Brigstock in his episode, of working as a labourer on an oil rig, and as a podium dancer at The Ministry of Sound'!! I'd be surprised if they edited that stuff out.

I was surprised too, not so much because of the implausibility of the story, but because of Carol's demeanour when she was telling it. She really did look like she'd been put on the spot and that was the best lie she could come up with on the spur of the moment. Clearly a woman with hidden shallows.

Watching her last night reminded me how much more I prefer Rachel Riley. Everything from the sycophantic laughing to the irritating 'ditzy' persona, which is just about appealing when done by Claudia Winkelman imo but not by Carol or Davina McCall.

Re: Carol Vorderman on Would I Lie To You?
Of course, Carol appeared on panel shows and stuff after she was on TV for 6 months as well. In fact, watch any early Carol shows and the personality just shines through, because it's so easy to project personality while putting numbers and letters on a board.Sue Sanders wrote:Watching her last night reminded me how much more personality she's got than Rachel.
I've also spoken to Carol and Rachel for some time in off-camera situations, and can confirm your observation to be true. Oh wait, no I haven't because Carol wouldn't give anyone the time of day unless it was part of her job to.
Personally, I found Carol to be incredibly false in what little conversation I did have with her, and not interested outside of the studio. Rachel on the other hand was very natural and chatty outside of the studio, but obviously nervous in front of camera and still trying to find her "television persona", as I would expect of any TV newcomer stepping into that role.

Re: Carol Vorderman on Would I Lie To You?
I'm guessing there's an element of irony here, but it appears to suggest that Rachel after six months in the job is progressing at least as well as Carol did all those years ago. But it also could be inferred that Rachel today is not as good a performer as Carol eventually became.

Re: Carol Vorderman on Would I Lie To You?
Firstly I think Would I Lie to You is the funniest programme I've seen for ages, and even better now it has Rob Brydon chairing instead of Angus Deayton. It's nothing like Call My Bluff and is well worth watching.
Anyway I really don't believe that Carol did that business with her pen if she had time to spare during the numbers round - not as a regular thing anyway. My husband and daughter were both in the audience at different recordings and both are sure she did no such thing when I was on anyway. Of course my magnetic personality may have distracted her ...

Re: Carol Vorderman on Would I Lie To You?
Admittedly I can't draw on other people's assessments of Carol and Rachel in person (having only met Rachel), but on screen I've always thought Carol came across as incredibly fawning and fake, whereas Rachel had a sort of nervous but bubbly charm about her. As a yardstick, my dad (who has met neither and is rather more of a passing viewer of Countdown, thus being more 'neutral') often comments upon preference of Rachel to Carol largely due to the reasons Jon listed.

Re: Carol Vorderman on Would I Lie To You?
As one of a short list of people who have met both, I can say that they are both very charming. Interestingly, since she left Countdown, Carol does seem to have that "fakeness" about her that some people talk about, but I think that's only because she's around other famous people (like when she did the Celebrity Apprentice), whereas around the contestants on the show, she is a lovely person, although having said that I was 14/15 when I did it the first time round. Rachel definitely did seem nervous on screen at first, but her charm definitely won me and I would think just about everyone else over. Certainly, by the time I did my recording in March, when she and Jeff were fully settled in, she definitely was less nervous and was fully in the zone. She is always a joy to talk to (I've been in the audience a few times since, as some people might know) and is very caring to everyone around her too.Jeffrey Burgin wrote:Admittedly I can't draw on other people's assessments of Carol and Rachel in person (having only met Rachel), but on screen I've always thought Carol came across as incredibly fawning and fake, whereas Rachel had a sort of nervous but bubbly charm about her.

Re: Carol Vorderman on Would I Lie To You?
Having strayed back into the newly resurrected youtube thread, and watched Kirk's post of Carol on The Sunday Night Project (posted Feb 08, and thanks Kirk, I'd not seen that programme) I just wanted to say with regard to JC's.....
And to pre-empt those of you who will post to say how sweet, pretty, lovely, kind, friendly Rachel is, I really have no doubt that she is all those things, she comes across as a really nice person, (even when Jeff is being squirmingly lascivious about her) - but the subject was personality. Carol has the personality for these tv entertainment shows and I don't think Rachel would manage it like Carol does.

Re: Carol Vorderman on Would I Lie To You?
Also though, she wouldn't have been called on to make it into a 'personalities' type show - I'm sure that wasn't the remit. I just recognise in her that loud personality and confidence that I think is a natural trait, not something that comes with practise! Rachel is really doing exactly what it says on the tin and you boys love her, which is really great - I think Countdown stood a good chance of crashing and burning but it hasn't -Thank Goodness. But Carol's Carol and Rachel's Rachel (and I miss Carol) and I can't imagine Rachel suddenly revealing a Carol type personality, and it's Carol's personality that is required on telly progs of the ilk Carol's appearing on and good luck to her, she's having fun. But if Rachel gets a shot and shows a different side - ON TV, not after the cameras switch off in the studio - then I promise, I'll eat .....I don't know, there's not much I don't normally eat anyway.Kirk Bevins wrote:Only because Carol's far more experienced.

And not a drop spilled.
I walked past the famous Sleddale Hall a couple of months ago. Always had the impression it was in the back of beyond, so I was a bit surprised to find it's only a couple of miles from the nearest motorway junction.

I think Rachel >>> Carol by miles but that's largely to do with a whole load of reasons which aren't apparent just from viewing.Sue Sanders wrote:I just wanted to say with regard to JC's...........

My response to you personally was uncalled for though, and I apologise.
