To be fair this is the first show, its also a new area for ITV, so hopeful there can tweek the format and speed things up a bit while improving the show overall.

But I like it.

It was alright. Just alright .

Could have done without the occasional "let's find out whether some woman in Manchester would confess to killing a cat" bits, though. Pointless.

Yes the gogglebox style bit was the but that didn't work, and should be dropped. You can tell why all producers are obsessed with Gogglebox style bits though.

No real changes from last week. I hoped for the pace to be stepped up at least. But alas no. Switched off, app deleted

Nina & Sheila are better panelists this week, but I also feel that more questions are needed.

Only caught a few minutes of it but it feels like the show is lost in the giant set, and it's the sort of thing the studio audience should be heavily involve in as well but they're quite distant to proceedings. Only saw the one question at the end so can't comment on proceedings - but it doesn't quite seem to know what it is.

Very good point Brekkie, you'd think that the audience would vote on the questions as well and do comparisons with the at home audience.

Last week was good, but I felt that more interesting questions, better panelists and a more entertaining 'live family' made Episode 2 even better. It's a really good idea, and it's implemented pretty well. The set is big, and you don't really get much of a sense of the audience being there, but it is a really nice set overall - you can always rely on itv in this department!

There is no doubt work to be done on the format, but it is in its early days and with a little more tweaking it could be a better show overall.

However, while I'm a fan of it and it will probaby do okay in the ratings, I sadly can't see it as a long running show in its current form - prehaps there should be other elements to keep people interested for the full 60 minutes? Or maybe, as it was suggested earlier, make the programme 30 minutes, include more questions and make it much more fast-pased.

Looks like someone on the show reads on here, there now asking questions during the break.

Well, should they be reading this, tell Alexander I said hi.


Kidding. Unless you really want to, then that's fine by me.

They've removed the Gogglebox section now as well.
