Well it's standard daytime fare - nothing spectacular, nothing original - but I think C4 benefits from having a live daily show in it's schedule somewhere. If Countdown's ratings are up perhaps Packed Lunch may benefit too.
Found the whole making a big deal about announcing Colin as the permanent host rather odd this week considering most assumed he was anyway. Of course it should have happened a year earlier and I still think Anne was forced upon producers by the head honchos at C4 wanting to grab headlines rather than do what is best for their long running show. A year ago though it looked questionable whether the show would even make it's 40th birthday - now it feels like it may be fairly secure until its 50th.
