RI:SE - Iain Lee

We learnt how to confuse Iain by giving him a fiver...

Chat Ed : Welcome to this morning's RI:SE chat with presenter IAIN LEE!

Iain Lee : Good morning boffins!

Chris : Hey Iain - You Rule...gotta be said

Iain Lee : Hope you enjoyed the show...who's first!?

sexypants : hey Iain just to say I love the show especially the newsreader
DF : OH MY GOD MEL AND SUE JUST DRONE OOOON AND OOOON AND OOOON.

Iain Lee : I've just heard that Zora may be doing a glamorous photo shoot and Mel and Sue rock my world! So there!

TellItasItIs : Iain why are you wasting your time trying to help such as crap presenter as Kate as this is not helping you buddy ?
Sinkplug : is kate as thick as she is on tv?......or is it a really clever act to be so stupid?

Iain Lee : First off, Kate is lovely. I genuinely think she is a brilliant presenter. I've worked with quite a few ladies and I've never laughed so much as I do with Kate. She is a little bit stupid but is much cleverer in many other ways. She's going to be a big star one day.

Azz : kate is well fit
Winderella : Clever like a fox?
TellItasItIs : Is zoras head balanced on her breast ?
PARTY DONKEY : Kate or Edith
cov-lad : with kate on the show i know why they call it rise

Iain Lee : I think Zora's head stands independent of her breasts. Kate is wily like a fox. But they are both brilliant - I love them both! Party Donkey - oh that's a really unfair question! But...Kate :)

Louisa : Hi Iain just to say that u and Dougie r the reason i wake up early every day
PARTY DONKEY : Iain you were a guest on the old RI:SE, When they offer you the job on the new one did you take it straight away

Iain Lee : Yes I think Dougie is a comedy genius and should have his own sitcom. And yes I took the job immediately and this is quite serious because I hadn't worked for 6 months, but I absolutely love it.

jennifer : does iain's gf mind about him flirting with all the girls on the show?

Iain Lee : Yes she does, she gets really angry and upset. It's been the cause of quite a few rows.

MikeTheWhippinpost : Given the fickle nature of recent CH4 breakfast shows, were'nt you nervous takin it on?

Iain Lee : Yes, very good question. But it had been perceived as such a failure before that I thought it couldn't do any worse. And yes, I'm expecting a phonecall any day now telling me not to come in anymore.

aj2002 : Duncan form Blue: Hes dreamy aint he? :)
Ash : hey guys great show, who is the most famous person that you've met?

Iain Lee : Yes he is sooooo dreamy, aj2002. Hmm the most famous.... erm...gosh... I don't really know. Kate met Keanu yesterday and she was terrified by that. They come and go so quickly for me - Linda Barker today! Oooh no, Shania Twain - she was quite famous AND quite sexy.

Shaun Johnston : I thought that interview with Kate and Keanu was funny as hell, when kate asked about the big brother, he looked like he thought she was a nut

Iain Lee : Aah yeah, Kate was really disappointed with Keanu yesterday, he was 2 hours late and was surly and unhelpful. There's no need for that if you're a big star.

thechef : ian.. frankly im disappointed that ur not answering my questions especially seeing as im called the chef, now did u actually kiss shania twain in that interview?

Iain Lee laughs
Iain Lee : thechef, thank you for your question. Yes, I got my tongue right in her mouth.

Speyed Kitten : Iain, given your sometimes abrasive relationship with Kate, it seems clear to be that you are trying hard to hold back your immense passion for her, I think you should just let go and tell her you love her.
Ash : Iain do you fancy kate?

Iain Lee : You've hit the nail right on the head there. It's like when you're kids - if you can't kiss someone then you hit them. But if Kate and I got it on it would ruin the magic that is RI:SE!

Sinkplug : is kate standing behind you watching this?

Iain Lee : No, she's in a meeting that I'm luckily getting out of because I'm doing this. I can say what I want about her!

eternaloptimism : If you were not presenting Rise what would be your dream job?

Iain Lee : Ooh my dream job would be... a nanny for kids between about 6 and 9, (I hope that doesn't sound seedy, it's not meant to) either that or testing computer games.

R!ch : Iain answer my question please!be the new gamesmaster?!

Iain Lee : Nooo, there is only one GamesMaster, I'm a mere pretender to the throne.

stonefox : testing computer games is boring as hell, its not fun playing them when u have to bug test
GLITTERY HEELcHOPs : whatsthe best computer game of all time?

Iain Lee : The best computer game is a game called Elite on the BBC micro, they should bring out a huge internet-based version of it now.

Chat Ed agrees (is old)

Daveeee : COUNTER STRIKE!:)
Shaun Johnston : Steel Battalion
Damien The Guv : Vice City is the best game of all time
Daveeee : iain do you play counter strike?
Chris : enter the matrix
Em : do you have x box live? if not get it its ace :)
Whoa182 : DOOM 3 is the best computer game thats coming in 2003, are you gonna get it, its supposed to be very scary!
R!ch : NERDS!
FLEX : i used to be a nerd

Iain Lee : I got Steel Battalions yesterday, it's wicked but has anyone got any instructions I can have? I do play CS, yes. And I've been getting into playing my x box live recently.

Em : y do u want instructions? did your copy fall off the back of a lorry?
Shaun Johnston : the manual is a massive book
Lou : the controls are dodgy

Iain Lee : Yes it sort of did, Em. It's a little bit hot.

Roundabout : You played the new zelda yet? please get me a slot on the show doing a retro gaming slot called 'the good old plays'

Iain Lee : If anyone is going to do a retro gaming slot it's ME! So you've lost that one sucker! I've had a quick session on the new Zelda, but I've not given it the full weekend treatment it needs.

Thom vs Bellamy : Ian, do you think we are all idiots and possibly mental for coming onto the internet at 9am to talk to you.

Iain Lee : Yeah, I'm a little bit scared actually. It's very kind, but you'd be better off talking to a real person. Go on! Try it after this.

crud : ian love us

Iain Lee : I love you all! You are all beautiful. There's no need for hate in this world.

DF : Have you ever made your own sausage?
DancingTony : Iain, is sleep as nice as pie?
wolfie : will there ever be a boy born who can swim faster than a shark?
stonefox : do you like pie? want pie now!!!

Iain Lee laughs, not for a couple of weeks now, I'll have a go when I get the ingredients again. wolfie...oh that's a quote from something isn't it, what's that from? It's very unlikely but who knows what they will be able to do with genetics in a few years. stonefox, I only like hot pie and I always have a steady supply of pies, so I'm fine thank you.

Louisa : ITS THE OFFICE

Iain Lee : Aaah, of course! Well done Louisa! I've not seen The Office is it any good?

Roundabout : The office rocks david brent is class
Alison : the office is brill!
stonefox : do you still see sacha baron cohen and ricky gervace?

Iain Lee : Yeah, Gervais is cool, but Mackenzie Crook is the star for me, Mackenzie and I are currently writing a sitcom called Fruits of the Forest about 2 gay Nottingham Forest Footballers. No, stonefox I don't.

Paul_From_Nottingham : oi im a forest fan!
shinything : that's funny
Tim : Legend!
shinything : ok....desert island discs..... 5 top cds to take with ya

Iain Lee : OK, let's have... One Size Fits All by Frank Zappa, Playboy Playgirl by Pizzacato 5, Revolver by The Beatles, Tea for the Tiller Man by Cat Stevens and Alive 2 by Kiss.

Tim : REVOLVER! BRILLIANT! DF : Nice choices :)

Chat Ed : Final flurry...

Winderella : What would you do if you saw Chris de Burgh in Superdrug?

Iain Lee : I’d shove some Vosene up his backside!

uknightbreed : if you had a licence to kill,who would ya shoot first ?

Iain Lee : Chris De Burgh!

!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i : if you could be any member of the A-team which one would you be and why?

Iain Lee : The Face man because he drives a Corvette

stonefox : if you had 5 whole pounds sterling what would u buy?

Iain Lee : stonefox - gosh, I can't answer that, that's really confused me and made me panic a bit - I'm not quite sure why!

Chat Ed : That’s it folks! Thanks for coming in to chat to us Iain.

Iain Lee : Thanks very much for your time, I hope you all get jobs soon and I hope you enjoy the show. Katie and I appreciate you watching. Bye everyone!

aj2002 : bye
DF : Bye Iain
R!ch : cyA
Dale : Bye
