Take Off With Bradley and Holly

The Christmas special, Take Off With Bradley and Holly has been commissioned for a new series for BBC One according to https://lostintv.com/tv-show?id=1088.

The show was quite good, but seemed a bit National Lottery-style gameshow.

No need to point to the original thread, this one is fine to stay open for discussing the series.

You have to admire Bradley Walsh. The guy manages to do several series including Doctor Who, the show with his son and 'The Chase' AND have time for something like this. Yet he oddly doesn't seem overexposed.

I know Bradley does Doctor Who, but Bradley and Holly as presenters are very much ITV talent. Would this cross-channel work have happened even a few years ago?

He's done quite well considering he is one of that generation of comedians that came to prominence just at the wrong time. Most of his peers have disappeared or are on cruise ships

I always think Bradley would be a good contender to bring back The Generation Game with. I think he’d be excellent.

I think a lot of those of his generation have reputations as being monsters off-screen. Bradley seems the opposite and that is possibly why he’s still doing what he does.

Absolutely. He did that family gameshow on ITV which was watchable enough, but he's about the only person I could imagine having any chance of a successful revival with the Generation Game.

I felt Take Off was very much a new version of Generation Game, just with a new name after the Mel and Sue version tanked.

I personally didn't think M&S were too bad as GG hosts, but it wasn't helped by poor guests and was essentially a little bit of a parody. (Probably worth remembering I was in hospital while it was on, so the morphine might have warped my sense of opinion!)

Spare a thought for those who've been in hospital on morphine recently. They may have turned on the TV and not known whether they were hallucinating or watching the Masked Singer.
