Bizzare comment. A bad warm-up would bomb and get no traction or little responce with an audience anywhere. In a nightclub, theatre, sports arena or television studio.
If the warm-up act(s) get the crowd they are working wrong - then you'll have an unattentive audience. Doesn't matter whether they are in a intimate setting in a outside location, or TC1.
I can't wait for the TV Centre to get back into operation and they can bring proper warm up people.

Fearne Cotton? Or did you mean on Comic Relief tonight?
Who is the annoying female presenter.

They've gambled tonight and it's not a very BBC line up either. Probably would be better with a 50/50 mix of comedians and presenters so the comedians can focus on the comedy and the presenter keep the show flowing.
Some of the younger social media users more used to slick but bland presenters who haven't watched Comic Relief in the 80s/90s are complaining that there are no tv presenters on.

Well, I don't think my opinion is bizarre. It didn't happen in the Palladium last year, for some reason people can hear at better arenas and studios than this. That reason being they make sure those areas are sorted out properly for TV broadcast. I don't blame it on the comedians, or the warmup, this is definitely the wrong atmosphere for this type of event.

Things seem to have smoothed out a bit, seemingly. They've got a good flow going, and the calibre of the guests is good. Overall, I think the fresh format has improved things.

I think in terms of the audience response (or lack of) aside from the content not being particularly funny, I don't think the nightclub environment helps. People don't generally stand for comedy gigs.
The annoying female presenter is like a graduate from Cbeebies.

I really like Vic & Bob and French & Saunders, but I thought their stints were pretty painful to watch.
I suppose any show that declares itself to be funny is never really going to be funny.

Well, French and Saunders have got one thing exact. They don't know the lyrics to Shutdown and neither do I. But nobody there will get the joke so it doesn't matter.
Her name is Luisa Omielan by the way, and I think she is way too nervous and young to start presenting like this. She's trying but everything else there is failing around her.
