[@p5rsona]

Glenn and Terry my fav characters of the show

[@88relient]

He's gone Glentall!

[@KaskDaxxe]

Chris addison is kind of ollie isn't he

[@memegod4433]

he doesn't really play a character haha he's just himself

[@p.atrick.]

"like throwing peanuts at a balloon" is such a brilliant line

[@minsqueeno2]

3:05 Glenn needs to watch the zeitgeist tape

[@SirHumphreyapplekcmg]

I am a Glenn fan, he's very sympathetic and sad, but in a funny, beleaguered way.

[@seadkolasinac7220]

Like a bloodhound

[@ParticleJesus]

I'm a Glenn fan, he is the greatest.

[@pipeandslippersman]

love the way james smith keeps smiling indulgently at chris addison: just enjoying the young man's riffing and desire to be funny. the difference between a 'comedy actor' and a 'comedian', i suppose...

really liked that, thanks for the content

[@SeaOfMadness]

Basically they are just Ollie and Glenn dialled down.

[@criticuttam]

If only Chris Addison didn't interrupt the gentle James, it would have been a lot more delightful.

[@LaurenceGill2000]

Its funny because no nationals is actually from the factory visit with hugh abbot

[@dragons123ism]

Laurence Gill I think he says it again in series 3 in the episode where Nicola stand in front of the 'I am bent' sign

[@LaurenceGill2000]

dragons123ism you may well be right

[@ManForToday]

Glenn and Ben's Glenn

[@NxDoyle]

Unless you are really listening, you might have heard James' Armando and let it go to the keeper as a generic, soft Scottish accent. But listen again. It's actually very close to how Armando sounds.

[@NxDoyle]

I wonder if Jo heard the "peanuts at a balloon" line.

[@nubbytope9562]

Chris was wrong. 18 months “good innings” was when Tucker was firing Lawton, who was Abbott’s predecessor.

[@neilaspin008]

NO NATIONALS??!!

[@jamesmclaren2268]

if only the presenter had an ounce of tv knowledge

""When your making the show, you're kind of pretending aren't you? How does that work?"

[@lukedaniels7750]

I wonder why Chris Addisons's mic sounds so awful ?

[@adamgrimsley2900]

Because he’s speaking?
