Yes its networked (well except Scotland)

Ana Boulter is a guest though according to Digiguide the other guest was meant to be Anthony ******* wilson!

I don't think I've seen something so daft since, well Friendly TV!

Hmm i was hoping this programme was going to be much better than it was!

1) Get Terry Christian some make-up - it looks like he's aged 20 years in about 5 years!

2) Get rid of that annoying band - its not remotely funny or good viewing!

3) Feature a few more clips of programmes

4) Dont bother taking a commercial break if its only for a 30 second promotion

After a bit of re-jigging i think this could become quite good viewing but is still no decent replacement for Night and Day!

ITV1 hasnt been too bad tonight on the whole, Wales this week, The Bill, Bad girls, ITV News at ten (at ten!!!) Club reps, Pop Factory, Turn on TV, Take the mike.

Quite a varied night and typical ITV foder! Better than watching endless hours of Simpsons, Big Brother or QVC

Well I thought the crap jingles were going to generate a laugh with Terry laughing about the cheapness of the show, but no the audience were practically silent, and the discussions about programmes were generally one liners and then onto something else!

Terry Christian seems to be the face of late night youth programming on ITV1lately, there was also that, actually quite good, debate programme on a sunday night a few months ago

That has to be the worst half hour of telly in a long while.

Just what is the point of that pointless band singing a ridiculous little jingle between each item, it is really bad. Perhaps Terry should review his own show.

a) They need more audience.
b) They need to supply the audience with more free lager.
c) The crappy jingles would work if it was done with tounge firmly implanted in cheek; as it stands I couldn't work out if it was done for laughs or not.

Anyone know where it was filmed? The EPG on NTL said something about it being from "a Manchester night-spot".

Good old Terry. Lives in Chorlton apparently.

Turn On Terry...

I thought this was a direct appeal from Chris Evans, for more people to watch Five, weekday mornings, at 11....

They could do with it too - down to 100,000 viewers - thing is it doesn't deserve it - Terry is highly amusing on the show, but HER! Gaby! Stop gobbing! As one TV critic said the other day, "... you could improve this show, by just re-naming it "The Terry Show".

Too bloody right, mate, but also, a bit of decent publicity for the programme wouldn't go amiss...

Anyway - sorry for the deviation - back on topic...............

It was awful - shows a clip of a programme, gets a couple of comments and moves on to the next feature. Trying to be fast paced and just not working. Bring back Night and Day.

I was disappointed with this program last night. I found it slow, and very boring, Could not stop looking at the clock!. I thought it was going to be good, but sadly, the show was bad in every way.
The Music was SO bad, that band need to go!
Terry was no much cop presenting either. Too many Errrr... etc, and as some one said before, he does look a bit old now. Could do with some 'Just for Men' or what ever it’s called. Terry is much better presenting that program on Sundays, what’s it called??...............That’s it ‘Its My Life’. He was OK at that.

Oh I can't wait. It's so bad it's good. Compulsive viewing for all the wrong reasons. Laughing
