I was amazed by her puppy-dog looks/vicious sniping combo. Excellent live.

Sean, April 2005


I find her hysterically funny. She doesn't even have to say anything much - her timing is superb and understated. Anyone who heard her spaghetti measurer anecdote on The News Quiz, heard a true classic of how comedy should be performed, while the live audience and fellow panelists corpsed themselves. You feel she really enjoys what she does, and her wacky take on life is spot-on. More please Linda.

Pat Dyer, April 2005


She is the funniest comedienne in any form of media. Superb.

Barry Coombs, March 2005


A great talent that deserves a wider audience. Never fails to raise the game whenever she guests on the News Quiz.

Steve Whitelock, March 2005


Not funny. Completely undeserving of any comedy accolade, especially "Wittiest Person 2002" as she is not remotely witty. Or funny. Get her off the airwaves.

Simon Reach, February 2005


Embarrassingly unfunny and wildly overrated, she presumably has "contacts" at the BBC as she is, sadly, unavoidable: Just A Minute, Have I Got News For You, QI, Room 101, I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, even Question Time. Huh? The Emperor's new clothes of British comedy. Dire.

Simon Nicholson, February 2005


The unthinking man's answer to Sandy Toksvig.

John Murphy, February 2005


She's fabulous. Funny and cute, very uplifting.
