So this show which seems to have been over a year in the making finally launched last week. The show has proper TFI/Big Breakfast vibes and is the type of live show we all want to see on Telly.
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.
The second half of the show was much better with the fake spontaneity one hopes to get from this kind of live show, such as Katherine Ryan becoming trapped on a barge.
The other thing to mention is it comes from the new Digbeth loc studio which seems nice, but very narrow so I can see why MasterChef are going there. Not sure what else is could accommodate though.
