The "Richard Yewtree" bit which of course is Joe's mocking GB News, was shorter I felt due to Danny Dyer really stringing his bit out.

He was very slow reading the autocue, Joe was just sitting there waiting for him to finish his lines which made it felt shorter as due to Danny being slow, they didn't have time to do other stories in it.

This is a live show, and they are constrained by time.

Joe did a practice run of the Yewtree segment at his '...and Friends' show on Wednesday at the Glee club in Birmingham (www.glee.co.uk ), with a random audience member in Danny Dyer's place. It seemed to take longer but I don't think they cut anything out. Almost all of the one-liner jokes Joe did in the show were ones he'd tried out on Wednesday.

They probably could have done things in a different order last night to make it work better, but I think the fact that the show isn't slick in production is a big part of what makes it entertaining.
