Tarrant on TV

The new series of Tarrant on TV has started. The studio looks great.
What do you think of the new series?

It was a classic show tonight! Full of breathtaking and shocking clips!!! The one with the brains and testicle smoothie made me laugh with disgust!

This show never fails to disappoint!

It's one of ITV's best kept secrets - a programme which has been quietly doing the business for the last few years.

And unlike other clip shows, the content always seems fresh.


Fantastic studio too!

Yes I have to admit this show is still good!

No thanks to ITV, I was nearly going to skip it as I thought it was a repeat.

Except when they repeat the same episodes to death.

Good to see it back though. Didn't Clive James do the original show back in the 80s?

I stopped watching when it became clear we could no longer laugh and take pride in knowing that us Britt's would never resort to such sick extreme stuff in the name of entertainment. Can anyone remember watching japanese people eating bugs on "Tarrent On TV' 5/6 years ago and thinking "what the **** is this?". What you've been laughing at tonight will no doubt be ITV1's Saturday night schedule in 5 years time.

I hope so, why not! If the people who do it want to then why not.

Absolutely. The Japanese were just a few years ahead of Europe in the bad taste stakes, as has been proven since. And whereas the Japanese programmes were an outlet for an otherwise mainly conformist and respectful society, the Brits seem to have taken this rubbish into the heart of their culture, which is far far worse.

Yes ... AFAIK, Chris Tarrant took over in 1989. Can't remember how long "Clive James on Televison" ran for though.

Keith Floyd did it between James and Tarrant, but not for long.

Notice it had a Granada logo on the end as it was made in 2005, for a new series it's been in the can for a while.
