The Paul O'Grady Show

I know its not started yet or even if any clips/ promo are out yet but I would like to ask , is his contract not up at the end of this year?

has Channel 4 started promoting the show yet?

it seem that the Paul O'Grady like marry poppins promo on youtube has gone

I don't know, but no doubt Cilla Black will make her umpteenth appearance on the show sometime this series promoting her gig in panto at Christmas.

In this autumn series we will no doubt have 'the biggest Halloween show ever', some time around the 31st Oct

oh and Barbara Windsor is scheduled for week 2

Still, I hope he's in better health this series, he was in a right state last time.

He must be the only show which can produce the same show all the time,

What?

Can you change the description please? He ---> He's

I think he's implying it's repetitive. which it is. They could just repeat the last series and no one would notice.

Well his auto biography is out in a few weeks.

I used to really love Paul O'Grady, but he seemed to have went downhill (his show) since moving to Channel 4. The following has started to grate on me a lot..

- Buster being the star, and Paul refering to him being like Garbo or some other old actress/actor

- Those stupid singalongs / panto style things they do

- Joyce

- Paul seeming to agree and come out with a bigger story than his guest. For example, Paul would have said few weeks ago he hates chips....celeb is on saying they love chips...Paul loves chips too.

- Pretending to be talking off camera and wooops! were back on live

Maybe im just getting older now.

It's long overdue a revamp, and it was a shame that when it moved to C4 they basically took on exactly the same show. Now, nobody is suggesting turn it into Richard and Judy, but some fresh ideas would be nice.

There is also the issue of the shows regular members of the public The fact most have been with the show so long makes it all feel a bit exclusive - it would be much better if they changed them each series for completely new faces, and wouldn't be so alienating to the casual fan IMO.


As said though, the biggest problem is how repetitive the show is, but now Richard and Judy is gone I think one thing to help that would be to split it into three shorter series rather than the two over the year. That way it's the same number of episodes, but with less episodes in each series the issue of it being repetitive won't be so much of a problem.
