Rob looks like Richard Attenborough

[@AH-te5gs]

it's not a monologue if it's two people speaking...

[@shmookins]

Duologue?

[@shantayedincsoy1611]

Monologue is 1 person, speaking uninterrupted for enough time that you know it's not a back and forth conversation. This is simply a performitive bit, with 2 people. No one will be memorizing and reciting this for decades to come.

[@mariavictor4324]

A live Jackal😮❤

[@katefarmerpallotta9710]

Dualingmonologues

[@shantayedincsoy1611]

@mariavictor4324 you know it, baby! Got some Seth fans in the house!

[@jamesrichardson3500]

Did they edit the funny bits out?

[@Unleashed75]

That was an editing mess. I know it's done live, but that was some bad camera transitions and framing etc

[@lh3557]

🙄🙄Zzzzzzz

[@HollyRobertsMusic]

I like it! A lot of moaners in the comments!

[@mi6_007]

They’re just reading through it. Look at 2:33

[@daRoman4life]

Hence the joke they said about reading the script ….

[@adollar47]

Who do you suppose wrote the jokes?

[@alexandermatthewsmusic]

Soo good! And I hear the goonies are doing a reboot and romesh got a part! Playing to his strengths... let our challenges become our light🌄 and inspiration romesh ❤️

[@jamescobb2624]

Someone please make Romedh Dr Who!

[@Unleashed75]

When Doctor Who dies and comes back with a lazy eye, you know the doctor is on his last legs

[@lenochod6]

Ok, I loved it, I mean I know it was not their best work, last year was a little bit better. But this is still better like american hosts on their awards show so I am happy. I think it is very tough to be always hilariois on these when these are awards show which is just a weird concept but when we have to do this I prefer Romesh and Rob

[@pf7746]

Awkward silence when The Crown was mentioned, with Lesley Manville clapping on her own.

[@TheFragranceApprentice]

Pain

[@RomanTradesNQ]

Happy Nails

[@Lily-cl6zk]

Love them both but this felt awkward and not funny

[@user-mv7ut9lu3s]

'Hillarious'... Hmm

[@macosbyanthony896]

Do British have this number of actors?

[@shmookins]

So did they win?

[@danmayberry1185]

Gervais' Golden Globes still influencing host bants.

[@shmookins]

Heh, no. This has always been done since before little Ricky was born.

[@a_d_a_m]

Romesh! someone needed to signal him to stop standing in front of Rob and casting a shadow on him, that was so distracting

[@kimburnett5669]

It’s actually a lighting responsibility. They should have had a light countering the shadow.

[@michaelathompson3310]

I think that’s on lighting

[@stestetsonmusic]

he does keep standing in front of him no need to be so close

[@sean.butterworth]

It’s extremely badly lit! The lighting department needs a bit of a kick in the pants

[@grahamkearnon6682]

Why does Beckett look like a butler !

[@calidofrio13]

hahahahahaha they're so funny!!

[@bobbriggs9748]

Flat landing, not good to regurgitate Gervais stuff.

[@dianehrechko6370]

Why does Rob look like an old man

[@lordkingston]

Ricky Gervais did all this years ago, and now they are all following in the same vein.... yawn.

[@unclecoco2082]

Sponsored by P & O that’s a disgrace

[@duytdl]

When did they become so unfunny

[@MarkSmith-og8xn]

Not that funny at all 🙄

[@adollar47]

Wow! You must be one extremely talented comedian.

[@audspod1]

Sadly I hope they won't be asked back again! Sorry guys.

[@Belfastboi]

Yeah it’s not hilarious. No one could even be bothered to add laughter. It was DRY

[@felixdonnelly7449]

Very poor!

[@Heroes_of_Qalanor_RPG]

A bit of a train wreck...

[@DigifocusPhotograph]

BAFTA. Don’t know how to do stage lighting!!

[@quercus8833]

Modern life is sooooooooo unfunny.....

[@camilofuentespena7348]

Is it me of this is way better than the Oscars? BAFTA has class, quality, none to little woke-ish nor cringy things, funnier.

[@flyingfiddy]

Painful to watch

[@grahambeech4636]

Hilariously is a bit of a stretch. Mildly amusing or cringeworthy would be more appropriate.

[@jonathanirons231]

Jesus they're struggling. That's the best British TV can offer?

[@helenkato7227]

Trying to be Ricky Gervais…and not.

[@flyingface]

mediocre

[@marcelnz]

i guess you had to be there, as in: Live there and watch too much TV.

[@NattyNickDxB]

Gervais from wish

[@MrWayout74]

Why do British comics end up right up the establishment's arse. Theae two are so far up it they can smell Noel Feilding's feet.

[@alangemmell5398]

I've yet to hear either of these so called "comedians" say something funny.

[@dmontes133]

Rob Beckett is NOT funny!

[@alexfaye8799]

What a car crash. Not just the hosts, but the camera work as well. It feels like they didn't rehearse this at all.

[@dude7068]

next year, please get hosts that are able to read a tele prompter please without stumbling through half the monologue
