I cannot grasp the idea that a panel of seemingly normal people could place Ms Hart on any list relating to humour. She is most probably a nice person, however, She is quite simply NOT FUNNY in any measurable way. Not style, Not appearance, Not delivery, Not content. She is NOT FUNNY get it NOT FUNNY.
The ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ made the same error a couple of years ago by promoting an extremely NON FUNNY individual by the name of Sue Perkins, who seemiingly thinks that all you need to do is be brave or arrogant enough to stand in front of the camera and deliver complete rubbish in such a boring way that one risks injury leaping for the switcher.
