Don't like Alexa much - Steve and Miquita are alright though. It's lost alot of it's energy though now it's all pre-recorded - was much better done live, and I see no reason why on Sundays at least it can't be.


Programme wise though it's worse than E4 for repeats of Friends - it seems to fill any spare slot going, and though it may be more 16-34 than "teen", it still seems odd to be showing a relatively dated programme so often.

"Alright"? Steve was one of those at the weekend who chimed, "For those of us who know nothing about your programme, er... whats it all about"? to the star of Entourage - and then proceeded to ignore the answer.

He's also the one who's "banter" with Ian Smith from Neighbours left the actor not knowing what was going on.

He may be handsome but he's an empty vessel. Useless as a presenter.

Not that I expected you to agree, Brekkie.

And I thought they were 2 of the worst. Especially Steve "I'm oh-so hilarious" Jones.

Yes, he'd be a much more attractive individual if he would just shut up.

Reminds me of a T shirt I once saw featuring a scantily clad attractive woman - bearing the slogan, "Somebody, somewhere has to listen to all her sh!t"

Oh, I actually think that's quite funny Embarassed (and that's just from reading it here - I didn't see it)

Most everything sounds funnier coming from me.

If you'd seen the glassey eyed look from Adrian Grenier you would have understood how unfunny it came across.

I understand that actors/singers only come on T4 to punt their wares, but it shows an appalling lack of professionalism on the presenters part not to have even read a synopsis of the plot.

I was quite keen to hear about the new season of the show, and perhaps learn a little more about the biographical connection to Mark Wahlberg (on whom the show is based), but no. Not a sausage.

Instead I got to 'enjoy' the comedy stylings of Steve (I'm *such* a card) Jones.

Worralorrash!t.

Seen a bit more of the new look in action today having watched Shipwrecked.


The studio lets the whole thing down - and that sofa is very dodgy - but on the whole it's a great package. Especially like their new invision menu things running horizontally across the screen - look much better than the last version which would have been so much better if it had adopted the C4 generic style.


Also, has T4 voice-over man been axed? Miquita and Steve did all the menus, and can't say I heard him on any trailers either.

The new package is good but I think the set looks like a fish tank.
