When the show first started Michael McIntyre did a stand-up routine at the beginning, and I feel that is missing from the show these days. I wonder if he still does it when the show is filmed and then gets edited out? It's often feels such a brutal jump from the welcome and intro to the first segment and doesn't always feel like it flows that well.

He did, I assume it's just an issue of - running out of/not wanting to use up/not having to write - new material for it.

It does feel like it needs something at the beginning though.

Think it's a great show, but there there are some bits I'm not so keen on - the music acts and of there's something about a celebrity I don't know. The good thing about it is that it's compartmentalised and easy to skip those

The act of "Send[ing] to All" has always been a bit of an artifice, as it's not an actual feature on an iPhonee. I recall mentions in previous interviews that the message is sent to a fake contact, and then manually sent to all the actual contacts.

I think this might be the first series where it's exclusively WhatsApp in use, but presumably the artifice is similar.

That makes sense, I wasn't sure if it was a default option on some phones, but the fact it isn't makes me realise..... why would it be, who would ever normally use it?

I think the move to WhatsApp is probably just because SMS is just old technology, WhatsApp is the primary way of messaging these days, probably depends on which the celeb uses more.

The functionality of WhatsApp is superior to text applications but of course sending them individually is more necessary otherwise it would probably insist on sending to multiple people as a group which wouldn't work
