The US networks don't do cheap filler. If they were ever in that position, affiliates would just schedule syndicated programmes, which would have a knock-on affect on the amount of money paid to the networks.

Can't help but feel Rob would have been a better first week host than David.

He's a vastly underused talent, in my opinion.

Thought Brydon and Walliams worked well together, but the show struggled to recover from the awful opening gags.

As almost everybody else has already said, seems a very odd decision to try out the show in such a high-profile (and disruptive) slot.

I gave it a go tonight, but the opening jokes are really lazy. The punchlines are so obvious, they barely raise a smile.

Brydon seemed like a decent guest (and I like him) but he quickly pulled out his same old Ronnie Corbett and Michael Caine impersonations. Hardly fresh new humour.

Switched over to a 1986 episode of Yes, Prime Minister on Yesterday - which was far funnier.

From yesterday, so I was right. I think play to the whistle might get moved before this chat show,
I think the ratings will go up this evening.
