Today's Puffin's Pla(i)ce was a complete fiasco. There were sound problems for half the programme. Kevin's voice could hardly be heard.

Can anyone hear me?

He spent half the show twiddling with his knobs. Instead of turning the music off which would have been a good idea, he turned the music up, really loud!

He had to sit on the floor at one point

An emergency microphone had to be brought in

Whoever operates Oscar should be congratulated, instead of whatching Kevin, just look at Oscar instead

hadn't realised it was self-op, but it stands to reason I guess

There is a person manning the gallery, they start and end the programme, run any VT and most regularly are asked to put up "still store one"

Someone told me the other day that Kevin is trying to get a more permanent show on local radio station Channel 103fm, but Channel are reluctant to let him go. Or something like that. I wasn't really paying attention.

I think his way of presenting might work better on radio rather than TV.

Don't suppose you caught the special 1945 edition of Puffin's Pla(i)ce they showed a few minutes into the extended Channel Report yesterday evening?

It was quite good!

Ha HA HAHa HA HAHa HA HAHa HA HAHa HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still laughing at todays Puffin's Pla(i)ce - the 1945 LIB60 show!!! it was shown again on todays show!!

If you missed it he said he was going to air it tomorrow @ 6.25pm Channel TV, watch and have a laugh, its very funny, too many bits to mention though the 1945 version of some citv shows was spot on hilarious!!!!

Busy show as well with clips of them and school children meeting the queen and a new funky looking surfing comp!!

Thank goodness Churchill freed Oscar Snr!!! (Oh as well as the islands)

It's weird isn't it how shows that would not necessarily get that many viewers try so hard to keep happy the viewers they do have. Puffins Pla(i)ce is an example. I was also listening to BBC Southern Counties radio whilst i was around that area, and Tommy Boyd who used to do Magpie was on it. Him and this woman do a show on there on late saturday nights where they just screw about, and try different experiments and things. It's the best radio show i've ever heard yet they probably only have a few thousand listeners max. So much so that if you phone the show, you don't go through a switchboard, you literally are on air as soon as the phone picks up.

One wonders if Puffins Pla(i)ce would be any good on National CiTV. If it would be forced to change style.

Well it could stay the same except they'd have two words they couldn't say!
