HIGNFY this evening

[Makeitgoaway]

Is basically a group of mates getting drunk together via Skype....and there's nothing wrong with that

Agree, it's rather sweet.

Apart from Steph, she's doing her best to stay professional

It's been brilliant tonight, but also brought it home how real this all is now

It's stilted (I'm onlu just tuning in) but it isn't totally dissimilar to the rather rusty pub quiz I was made to participate in on Monday night. Only difference being their WiFi connections are clearly superior to mine as I kept going offline.

It doesn’t work.

It was really creaky and awkward, loads of it fell flat.

They tried, but I don’t think it worked without the audience and the banter.
I thought Steph did really well to keep it going and fill the audience gaps.

It's not the same without an audience to bounce off. I love that they're giving it a go, though 😁

Weren't they all sozzled,except Steph? Who DH is in love with, but I quite like that.

I thought it was great. Ian especially looked like he was really enjoying having a laugh.

I think they did their best in the circumstances, and I laughed throughout.

Steph did do well- she’s very talented.

My DH also loves her. Which is marginally less weird than his crush on Maddie Moate

Loved it. They did fantastically well. Most surreal episode since tub of lard.

It was a bit awkward but I love that they've done this.

Endless repeats are going to get a bit old by June.

They did well. Good on them. Hope they keep going for in the weeks to come.

I thought it was great. Chaotic and clunky, but that’s how things are now, good effort bbc.

Drat, missed it.

Is it being repeated?

I was never so happy to see my colleagues as our online meeting yesterday, all blinking and confused to be with people and not very productive. It was very sweet to watch them.

Loved - it wasn't perfect, but nothing is right now.

And it was kind of comforting to see them in the same boat.

Interesting. Paul in particular needs a live audience. He does like to play to the crowd. I don't think they should do a whole series like it.

willowpatterns it will be in iplayer

What are you all watching??

I thought it was awful ; stilted and unfunny . Love Ian and Paul but this simply didn’t work.

They really need to find a way to get the sound equalised.

But considering it wasn't want anyone must have trained for, the editing wasn't half bad.

Better than feared. Kids will just grow up with it.

I thought it was good. Bit cringe in places but it was fun to see them do it like that - really brings home that we are all in the same boat!
