This is unbelievably bad, however bad you think something could be, thus is worse, complete waste of the BBCs money, who in their right mind commissioned this rubbish

Anything with Alan Carr in is starting from a very low point indeed. If it had a single redeeming feature at all I'd be very surprised.

Not that I'll ever find out; just a microsecond of his gurning, and his braying voice has me reaching for a brick.

I can't stand the bloke. That grating voice! Mrs Boomer thinks he's funny though she also laughs at my impersonation of him.

It’s the unique way that the BBC is funded that you get such wonderful shows as these. Obviously cutbacks need to be made to cover Linekers and Zoe Balls massive salaries. Glad I don’t help fund it.

Traditional TV is dying a lingering death.

The only thing I watch on TV now is sport.

As an aside Richard Osman was on a podcast I listen to recently, never realised he was a producer at Endomol in a former life. Was saying it's very hard, almost impossible to make money out of TV shows these days.

I had a quick look it's utterly appalling. I actually felt quite depressed it has got so bad on BBC

Why would you even watch anything that has Carr in it in the first place?

I liked him when he infrequently co-hosted a radio show with Melanie Sykes.

I thought he was OK back in the Friday Night Project days.

If you think the Alan Carr nonsense is bad, wait until you see the st with Michael McIntyre - how that tosser still gets booked for shows it completely beyond me!

They made me laugh - but then again, I'm a man of simple tastes.

I watched the first episode by accident and it's quite probably the worst thing I've seen on TV. Not only the concept, which I'm still not entirely sure of, but also Carr's presentation. He genuinely looks like someone is holding his family hostage and forcing him to do it, almost like he himself has no clue as to what's going on. He just shouts "Pictruresmash!" every few minutes for no apparent reason.

Reminded me a lot of Numberwang or that card game Chandler makes up to give Joey money in Friends. Utter nonsense.

Saturday tea time + BBC + warm up to Strictly + quiz show + Alan Carr + studio audience of screaming simpletons = guaranteed total pile of steaming sh!te

Saw a snippet of it on Gogglebox and definitely won’t be setting a reminder to watch the whole thing.

you lost me at 'alan carr'. Seriously what talent has that bloke got? I'm sure he watched a few seconds of The Dick Emery Show and didn't realise you need talent... well actually he's nailed it since, these days, you obviously don't need talent
