The only good bit of it so far was Matthew Kelly appearing at the start of it...

On the plus side, the pace of the show is about spot on compared to the original series if you take out all the padding. No wonder it's just over an hour long.

It's going down like a sack of the proverbial on Twitter. Seems many want the show treated more seriously.

It's like watching TV Burp with added musical performances in between....

It's like watching an absolute car crash.

Wouldn't be surprised if this is pulled off air before the series is out.

"Real good entertainment" says the sponsor.

Apparently Harry Hill had a bit more creative control, which explains the mess in this format. If the 'TV Burp'-ness was toned down, then it would be more watchable.

It's watchable, but the Harry Hill influence on the original format just doesn't work. The performances are just incidental.

This is what happens when you're desperate to give a famous face a format to get them on Saturday night.

Still, it could have been worse, and ended up presented by Ben Shepherd or Nick Knowles and just reminded the audience why they fell out of love with it in the first place.
