Even on paper when it was first announced, that’s always been the problem with it. Initial reaction to the announcement was lukewarm, ratings and feedback to the rushed “pilot” run were average at best... they’ve had plenty of time to adapt their approach but they seem to have just pushed ahead without much thought.
I wonder if it would have stood a better chance in the breakfast slot? It wouldn’t have troubled BBC Breakfast or GMB but could at least have been seen as an alternate offering at that time of day.
