Yes, Little mix doing 'yee-ha' cowboy singing was 'interesting'.

Couldn't watch the Simon Cowell thing because Mandy Holden.

SalemSaberhagen · 27/02/2016 21:17

James Cordon definitely knew it was them on the video link. Their makeovers were rubbish.

Sparklingbrook · 27/02/2016 21:18

The millionaire lads next door. Wink

MumOnTheRunCatchingUp · 27/02/2016 21:18

Lol at 'highly professional' Grin

Behooven · 27/02/2016 21:20

It's a feel good programme. Always makes me smile anyway.

TeenAndTween · 27/02/2016 21:23

Mum Yup highly professional.

Incredibly well rehearsed, you hardly ever see them slip up. Brilliant with members of the public. Able to mix with all walks of society. Have a wide variety of skills, much more talented than other show hosts.

I am ancient and I loved the show. Lighthearted entertainment. No rudeness or swearing. I had a smile on my face from start to end. Great show.

acasualobserver · 27/02/2016 21:24

O.K. sorry about the old in "tired, old hacks". I take it back: they're tired hacks.

Sparklingbrook · 27/02/2016 21:25

I didn't think their hosting of the Brits was up to much.

MumOnTheRunCatchingUp · 27/02/2016 21:32

No me either..., 'highly professional' oh so so not!

Canshopwillshop · 27/02/2016 21:33

I really like them. The DC and I have just watched the show and all really enjoyed it. Now watching 'Take Me Out' - Love Saturday Nights!

Costacoffeeplease · 27/02/2016 21:33

I didn't think they came across very well in the documentary with prince charles a few weeks ago either

southeastastra · 27/02/2016 21:33

they appeal to the generally easily pleased and thick pissed british audience

Sparklingbrook · 27/02/2016 21:35

I don't think people that watch SNT are 'pissed' bit early for that. Confused

BalloonSlayer · 27/02/2016 21:35

DCs love it and I normally enjoy it more or less but tonight's! Aaargh!

Interminable intro with them high-fiving everyone in sight for what felt like ten minutes. I said to the DCs I though this bit was "self-indulgent." The word I would have used, but didn't, was "wanky."

Appalling woman who has told terrible lies. Errr ok but one of them was possibly criminal (claiming 3 months on the sick when she just wanted time off. WTF?) so is she going to face repercussions? She said to ex-boss "haven't seen you for AGES!" (Yeah since I sacked you for gross misconduct)

Surprising tired lady who works in ASDA; poor woman totally scared and bewildered. "Is this the best night of your whole life???!!" they kept demanding, sounded almost threatening: it bloody better be, love, after all the effort we've been to, never mind you're dead on your feet and never watch us anyway you're on TELLY and you better bloody well be GRATEFUL.

Poor chap on the cooking bit "I hated you" etc, how his little face fell and how HILARIOUS they found it.

Little Mix bit - DD had been waiting for this - I thought it was great how they gave their song the Wild West treatment but of course one could not possibly be allowed to enjoy that when there were Ant and Dec in hats and moustaches to be fawned over instead.

Sparklingbrook · 27/02/2016 21:37

The surprising random people bit has got v old. I am a bit sceptical after the actor engagement last week.

southeastastra · 27/02/2016 21:38

ok thick then

getyourselfchecked · 27/02/2016 21:38

How can you like then when they endorse animal cruelty and humiliation in that awful "I'm a celeb' bullshite?

Sparklingbrook · 27/02/2016 21:39

Bit of a sweeping statement. But if that's how you feel....

Sparklingbrook · 27/02/2016 21:40

Humiliating witchety grubs get?

Vintage45 · 27/02/2016 21:46

Oh come on, it's bland tv, they're bland and so are all the shows at that time of night on all major channels.

Oysterbabe · 27/02/2016 21:47

I love them. Nice guys and good clean entertainment.

southeastastra · 27/02/2016 21:50

what is 'clean' entertainment, bearing in mind mary whitehouse though jimmy saville was a wholesome clean entertainer

mrshudson221b · 27/02/2016 21:53

I think Bill Nighy sums them up perfectly in this clip from "Love Actually"

Sparkling.. that is how I feel. It is not just grubs (though I can't agree with breeding them to be used for vacuous people to eat live). Totally unnecessary. They also used rats, snakes etc in enclosed spaces/a not-nice environment for the sake of a TV show. Leave the animals out it.
