Overall treating Alright on the Night as just another clip show puts it in danger of being forgettable and unmemorable and just like any other blooper show which barely last a couple of years. It's the original and have been going on for 40 years. The legacy of the show deserves more than an animated unrecognisable character and a disruptive voiceover.
In terms of getting bums of seats for new episodes, I don’t think it has any legacy. Ratings recently were low and as I’ve said before, you’d never commission the same format today.
“What we will have is a load of bloopers, but that’ll only be half the show, the other half will be a presenter telling long winded rambling stories with only a tenious link to the clips to follow”
Very similar to how Terry Wogan used to pad out Aunties Bloomers with inoffensive stories about the DG and the concrete donut.
Today viewers would just think they hadn’t received enough clips.
