Seems like a not bad way to test a morning show before making it a weekday thing too.

This starts on Saturday, and they've just launched their Twitter account:





This looks like quite a nice alternative to the usual cookery-focused stuff. It'll be interesting to see what kind of audience it attracts.

Must have taken them ages to come up with that name.

If that trail was during the Dirty Des era, they'd probably be reading mock copies of the Express and Star!

I've tuned in for a bit for the first two show. I'm enjoying it. The presenters all work well together in the most part, it has a sense of fun about it and it stays away from being too twee. Nice work so far.
