I watched it in full this evening, but only beucase I'm at my parents house tonight and they've recently cancelled every form of TV package that is possible to cancel and are left with basically channels 1-5. It's like being 10 years old again.
Luxury.We didn't even have Channel 4 when I was 10. Telly wasn't on during the day and stopped around midnight.
But it certainly hasn't got better, just more of it.

It says in the times today that the hosts get paid £50k per episode.
To be fair to them, it's not all their fault by any means. They have a team of writers and two very experienced executives running this show.The hosts don't know how good or bad the format and writing will be until they've recorded the first episode.
After this first week, I wouldn't be surprised if the next few hosts lined up to do it demand a 'humiliation bonus'.

Ive not seen it, and have no plans to (especially with professional scouser bishop fronting it). The hosts don't know how good or bad the format and writing will be until they've recorded the first episode.

Dont they do rehearsals etc to refine prior to doing the real thing.

I saw 3 minutes of last night's one. That was plenty.Dont they do rehearsals etc to refine prior to doing the real thing.
My comment above was pointing out that the hosts would have signed up to do the show months ago, so they wouldn't have known at the time what they are getting themselves into until now.
In terms of the how the show is made, the production team start at 6.30am each day, the host arrives at 10.30, then they will discuss, rehearse and refine the material until 6pm when they record it. The production company also reportedly spent 6 months creating segment formats they think will make the show something they can sell to other broadcasters around the world. Dream on.
I predict the one with Gordon Ramsay will be a proper train wreck.

ITV have apparently spent over 3 months producing full length pilot episodes, tweaking set design, lighting, sound, audience seating, pranks, jokes, scripts, sketches, and absolutely everything else you can think of.They have thrown millions at it, and have recruited a vast army of writers, comedians, producers, directors, and everyone else considered the best in the business. Someone commented on the radio the other day that there was barely a writer left in the country who hadn't been contacted to provide ideas and scripts.
Given the fact they desperately want this to succeed, and have thrown everything including the kitchen sink at it, you've got to ask the question: How on earth is it so bad?

Dream On. Now that's a TV comedy series I used to enjoy. My comment above was pointing out that the hosts would have signed up to do the show months ago, so they wouldn't have known at the time what they are getting themselves into until now.

After watching the entire first show, and being stunned into submission by Walliams and the God-awful format, I don't think I could bring myself to watch another one. Probably not ever. I'd avoid ITV after 9pm completely, just to make sure there was no possibility of me waking up in front of it and catching it unintentionally. 
You do have to wonder what kind of bubble the people who produce and commission this kind of stuff live in. I mean it's not as if anyone is actually shocked that it's turned out crap and ratings are plummeting - as soon as you saw the first trailer for it, you just knew.
When the opening week features such a marmite host, a lack of A-listers to really pull the viewers (what agent in their right mind would put up a top client for an obvious trainwreck) and on top of that is apparently just bad anyway...well what did they think would happen?
