[Larry the Loafer]

I didn’t think it was some of Joe’s best work, who I usually find clips of his stand up and his other Channel 4 show to be brilliant. But this just felt like he was parodying what you’d expect Joe Lycett to be like if you’ve never seen watched anything with Joe Lycett. 

They had a feature with TVs Clare Sweeney live in his local shop but there didn’t really seem any reason for her to be there, as they didn’t actively encourage people to visit for a prize or anything. 

I've just got round to watching it. It's very on par with Joe's other presenting gigs of late, so I wouldn't say his standards have slipped at all. As for Clare Sweeney, I thought it was pretty on-brand for Lycett and his penchant for featuring - for want of a better term - "not as famous as they used to be" celebrities in his work.

The Richard Yewtree sketch was brilliant in that Alan Carr clearly didn't have a chance to rehearse, taking full advantage of the show being live and both he and Joe clearly revelling in it. A nice change to the less-than-ad-libbed material that comes out of The Last Leg that still seems to miss as much as it hits with the studio audience.

Overall, whilst it's slightly lacking in the TFI-esque energy I was expecting in parts (for better or worse), I thought it was pretty spot on. With any luck, it'll push The Last Leg aside (on which my opinion has already been hinted at) and hopefully become Channel 4's new Friday night staple.
