    He is a funny fella, that's for sure.

    I saw an interview with him once regarding Christmas.
    He hates it so much that he catches a flight from the States (somewhere in California if I remember correctly) late on Christmas Eve to London. Due to time difference and the mega long flight, when he lands, it's the early hours of Boxing day.
    How's that for being a nutter.

    I can't stand the guy, he makes so many cringeworthy comments.

    I remember watching him on the alan titchmarsh show once and Alan kicked him off for being so rude! Lol!

    He also claims to not be sexist and yet I found him to be quite so.

    Yeah I can't help but say that although I'm sure he's otherwise an alright sort of bloke, I can't overlook some of his comments and think he has come across as a terrible human being. Hard job for DP and he has to laugh it off but McCririck has been bang out of order at times. Hope Sarah wipes the floor with him.

    Yeah this terrible sexist rant after he wins should stop him from coming back in the future. Anyone laughing along or ignoring that on the basis that he's a 'character' should reappraise and stand up if they disagree with him (which anyone should). Unlucky Sarah and don't take any of his comments to heart

    He's a **** embarrassment as a human being but car crashingly entertaining. I watch him in the same way I watched Haloween for the first time and that's not with my tongue out thinking what I would like to do to Jamie Lee.

    Oh I get that completely, and yeah it does have its entertainment value, but I'm afraid the response to 'Sarah's a terrible poker player because she's a woman but hey I'd teach her a thing or two in private wink wink' shouldn't be 'Oh John you can't say that *chuckle* what are you like you old rogue?' but in fact 'you're literally wrong, either shut the **** up about your views or come and join us in the 21st century'. Humouring hilarious old sexists or racists is always the easier option but you have to stand up to what is just outdated bull**** rants funny or not, if you turn a blind eye in certain cases you're a hypocrite and this is something I firmly firmly believe in. McCririck is not at all funny but in fact representative of a shocking amount of people who think saying those things is allright and laughing along when they do is not the way to change that.

    I couldn't agree more.
    Very well said Majj.
    McCririck should not be allowed on television.

    Not the most politically correct man on T.V  i admit, but it make's good T.V. If people find him offensive, use the remote, or lighten up a bit.

    Hi all

    The problem with john mc whatever his name is that his extreme views can be humorous to some people (typically men) but to those he is offending they can be plain rude.  So while I admittedly was entertained, I am aware that many people will not have been.  had he been attacking Scots, saying we were inherently poor at poker, for example, I'd have been less amused and more offended at the racial implications.

    His treatment of sarah Champion seemed to me to be over the score.  I do not believe he knows her well enough to speak in such harsh terms (maybe i am wrong and if so i apologise).  Sure, its all entertainment, and there may or may not be genuine intent in the remarks he made, but I would be interested to hear sarah's views on his treatment of her.
