Red Nose Day 2017

Production is horrific tonight, slow at fading the right mics up, links with lots of pauses, vt's not playing.

It's not the same without Tumble Tower 😢

I will say, it seems quite messy tonight, obviously not helped by the show's format.

I'm not sure all the talking in the background and the bad sound is that great

I really like it. More rough and ready, less slick/sanitised than CR has been for years.

IMO It's a lot more fun when things don't go to plan, much better than a well oiled machine.

I thought it was a little cringe worthy in the intro that they still thought Gangnam Style was something people still cared about... Then I saw Home Alone 2.

I'm not sure I'd say not fading mics up is an example of that though

Especially as the clips are so well produced. It just makes it seem disjointed.

This must be the first time in a while French and Saunders have been on TV together, isn't it? Or does it just feel like ages...

I don't think this audience have seen Toast of London

Even the donation caption is faulty tonight. Flashing and then disappearing.
