I don't really like that John Robb, his comments seem really forced like he hardly ever watches tv "Emmerdale's really good at the moment innit" is a typical comment!

Its bad news for Turn on Terry fans.

The series started at 12midnight, then moved to 12.30am.

Well from tonight its now on at the later time of 12.50am!

Last nights show was good! Again!
2 things -

a) Is the show live or recorded? Someone told me that the tickets are for a Monday night??? I thought it was live?? So what’s what then??

b) Last night the guests were Ana and John Robb, but on the credits it said Ana and Tony Wilson. So was Tony due last night? I'm sure John said something about Tony not being there. Wonder why? Also why does Terry always refer to him as Anthony H Wilson? Just call him Tony, or Wilson like everybody else.

Yes I noticed that, and we were stuck with John Robb who seems to know nothing about TV. Good to see Ana Boulter again. John commented that Anthony had 'retired from the show' and his name was on the credits so it seems he was due.

The mildly funny quiz questions would be mildly funnier if they didn't reveal the options before Terry had read them!

I believe Wilson was known Anthony H Wilson during his cult music industry days

Breaking News..

It turns out Turn on Terry is on until December, which will make it a 25-26 show series.

It's show 14 next week, and according to the website they may have a new set!

What are the ratings like for this show? I take it that they must be good for ITV Nighttime otherwise ITV1 would have axed it quicker than Night & Day and Crossroads put together.

Well I'm glad the shows on for a long time. I bet Terry's glad too, nice little earner for him.

Finally, does anyone know if it is live or recorded? Like I said before someone told me that the tickets were for Monday so what’s what then? Any ideas anyone?

Thanks

Terry is great. The style was very much like the big breakfast on the Terry and gaby show.

I think it gets aroun 600,000 viewers, plus there's the late night repeat which will get a few viewers.
Remember tonight's show apparantly may have a new set and will it have Anthony H Wilson?, make sure you "turn on tv click it on to number 3" at 12.45am!!

Just watched last nights show and it appears that they have a new rug, and a couch for the guests. Terry has also got a new chair but apart from that nothings really changed. During the credits though it mentioned IKEA so I think that would give an idea towards the source!
Some of the highlights for me included comparing "Kung Faux" to the Magic Roundabout with hip hop tracks being dubbed over old Kung Fu footage on a show on Bravo during the "Sightly Odd" section of the show.

You're right, it is pre-recorded on a Monday at Satan's Hollow. A friend of mine was offered tickets to see it.

You can't seriously have thought something that cheap would be done live can you?!??

Well I think last night's line up of guests, Ana Boulter and Anthony H Wilson is the best line up and it should be those two every week. I think the show is slowly moving into cult status!

Those 2 are good, but every week?? Come on, a change does you good once in a while. I too think the show is slowly moving into cult status, well who would of thought it. The first week, C*** on a stick, now a viewing MUST.

To end, now that we know its recorded on a Monday, what times? Tony yesterday said 'on Today’s show' so I take it its recorded during the day. How on earth they got those students in the audience up and there during the day to record the show is beyond me.

Are ITV now sick of the show and trying to kill it off? This week’s ep is on at 1:15am!! Bloody hell. At 12 - 12:30 they have some muck on, why can’t Terry go there? Its madness!
