And the 'South Africa' DOG in the studio is beyond redundant!
I think they did a good job of trying to maintain the regular feel of the show. It’s never going to be quite the same because they know they’re not live.
I also assume it’s a South African crew and not the Aussies who’ve been working with Ant & Dec so they may take a bit of getting use to their sense of humour.
I think the South Africa DOG is just another attempt as making it close to the look the of the main show as possible. A bit like how they had the clock and location graphic in Wales.
I’d be interested to know which celebs the previous poster thinks were scripted as I didn’t really get that impression.
