Skipped through it today - and talking of music I don't fancy our chances at Junior Eurovision. That was terrible, and not in just the me being 25 years older than the target audience kind of way.

Otherwise agree far too many presenters and it would have been stronger with just Mel and Jason. The Race Across Yorkshire skit was quite good, though the Masterchef Puppet one felt a good couple of decades out of date. Greg Wallace though great at playing the role for laughs, as we saw in his recent C4 documentary.

They did at least try a couple of things live on stage, though the gunging segment was a reminder that they don't get the cast members of random shows doing routines for them anymore. And to think we used to complain about them. The couple of moments linked to The One Show challenges worked quite well though.


I do think in some ways it is stronger than the final few Wogan years now, even if it is missing a few elements from that era. It really wouldn't take too much though just to lift it a bit and I don't think expanding it back past the news, even if just through to midnight rather than 2am, is actually as big an ask as it might appear considering each hour of content is basically a sketch split in two parts and a couple of live performances, with the rest really just padding. I probably spent an hour watching the three hour show which isn't too bad a hit rate really.
