In your opinion. I think they do great interviews.

Their figures may get better, they may not. Doesn't mean that those who are watching aren't enjoying it - in my case at least.

Oh come on, it's only been what, a week? Of course they're not going to have a massive audience, but over time I expect that to pick up. I do think it's an okay show, and it will evolve, I'm sure, and improve.

Richard and Judy find a New Position

Watch's flagship original show Richard and Judy's New Position saw its audience last night grow to 53,000 (0.27% share) at 8pm, after a week of rapidly declining ratings.
The 60-minute show managed to hit a high of 56,000 (0.29%) at 8.30pm. A further 16,000 watched the show on Watch+1.

Okay, so it isn't mega E4-like ratings yet Smile - but once people find their way to the show's time, channel and feeling (and possibly when they tone down their set) I'm sure we will have steady ratings. I predict an average daily audience of 100,000 once settled. (Damm, this post is going to be pulled up in the future if they are axed)

I watched this for the first time the other day.
I agree with others about the set, I do like red, but I don't think it should have been chosen for the programme. Maybe something like a plum colour, just to tone down the set.
I do like the titles, they remind me of the original Richard & Judy on Channel 4 titles, but with better graphics.

The only other thing that I don't get about the show is that they have a group of people in the bar, whether they're friends of the guests, crew members or random people, wouldn't it make more sense to either have them as part of the main studio, or if space is tight at least make sure they're watching the show and have the reactions, laughter, etc. playing over the top of the interview.
The worst part for the weird audience mix is when the guests came out on the edition that I saw, they had applause in the 'bar', and then it cut sharply as they met Richard & Judy. Maybe it's just me.

Just watching this now, and I recognise one of the people in the bar as one of the twins from the last series on The Restaurant. She was there as a guest I assume?
