It was s h i t. Screenwipe and "Panel Show" just didn't mix well at all.

The guests were pointless and it was just Screenwipe with a tacky panel show effect. It seems to be there to pad the show out and to make it "fit" with the Channel 4 audience, rather than the BBC4 audience. Stick to Screenwipe please!

Completely agree. Although amusing in places, it didn't work for me.

I thought it was great! It was just what I would expect a Brooker fronted game show to be like, really. I'm surprised at the backlash it's getting, I mean anything that rips into The One Show has to be worth something!

I agree. I guess though it backfired on two levels - too cult to please a more mainstream audience, and too mainstream to please his usual cult followers.

If it had been on More4 or E4 though and attracted even half those figures, it would be considered a success. Still 1000 times better than the Chris Moyles quiz show though.

Oh and I hate Jamelia appearing on every panel show at the moment.

She didn't come anywhere in Eurovision, she didn't enter... you are probably thinking of Javine.

A good show last night, and the ratings have picked up to a more respectable 1.22m, up from 900,000 last week. Hopefully if it gets to around 1.5m it'll get a second series - but I fear they'd mess with it and make it just another panel show.
