I've made myself watch it a few times, in an if you can't beat em join em kind of way but I never laugh. Ever.
It leaves me cold.
What's wrong with me? Shock

I love Ant & Dec in everything else, but not this.

I only watch it for the undercover bits, the rest of it is pretty boring

TeaCake5 · 26/02/2017 13:18

It's a pile of shit I agree. Hate this idea that ant and dec are "national treasures". Just fuck off.

DameXanaduBramble · 26/02/2017 13:18

It's utter shite. Embarrassingly so. Ended up watching it last night and couldn't turn over. So bad.

The80sweregreat · 26/02/2017 13:19

its shouty and horrible.
i avoid it.

EB123 · 26/02/2017 13:19

Yeah I don't get it either.

DameXanaduBramble · 26/02/2017 13:19

That undercover bit last night. Poor Jamie, not funny at all.

Magzmarsh · 26/02/2017 13:19

It's a bit long. The end of the show show annoys me because it's just the same thing every week and Morcombe and Wise did it better first.

expatinscotland · 26/02/2017 13:19

I find it shit. DH and DD love it, though.

honeyroar · 26/02/2017 13:21

Me neither. I've watched it once and the only bit that was fun was the undercover bit. The rest was drivel.

Grilledaubergines · 26/02/2017 13:26

Probably because it's viewing for the whole family which isn't peppered with bad language. I don't love it but love that DC do and we sit together and watch it.

DameXanaduBramble · 26/02/2017 13:27

Sad that we have to put up with this drivel as family telly just because it doesn't have a well placed fuck.

ClothEaredBint · 26/02/2017 13:30

I watched it for the first time last night, hated it.

Littlepiglittlepig3letmeIN · 26/02/2017 13:35

Phew I'm glad it's not just me.
I was wondering if I'd lost my sense of humor.

The audience make me think of american audiences - overly cheerful, as if they're all on something.

My kids love it. I am ambivalent and think it goes on far too long and I'd rather they were in bed. (didn't realise how long when we said they could watch it as a treat).

Thinkingblonde · 26/02/2017 13:37

I used to enjoy it but last nights seemed a bit too over the top. Michelle Keegan didn't seem comfortable at all.
The whole show was too manic and shouty.

firsttimemum15 · 26/02/2017 13:40

Didnt watch it but stuck it on this AM in the background. Did anyone else think Michelle Keegan just looked bored and was feigning excitement and happiness in her announcements?

Poppiesway1 · 26/02/2017 13:41

I've never watched it before as generally don't like any and dec (even though I'm of their byker grove generation Grin)
However ds2 (10) watched it last night and absolutely loved it. I watched it with him and found it not as hideous as I imagined. I wouldn't set sky+ for it but it passed the time!

Libitina · 26/02/2017 13:44

Never watched it (or anything else Ant or Dec are in) or anything else that is the same mindless drivel.

We put a film on instead.

Littlepiglittlepig3letmeIN · 26/02/2017 13:44

It appeals to children.
So why not stick it on earlier?

I LOVE SATURDAY NIGHT TAKEAWAY!!!!
Grin
It's good, old fashioned Saturday night entertainment. Just the way it should be.
Doesn't matter what your age is, it's suitable for all the family to watch!
Long may it continue. Just wish it was on all the time instead of just 6 weeks of it. Smile

Littlepiglittlepig3letmeIN · 26/02/2017 13:46

Is that you Dec?

OP posts:
MadisonAvenue · 26/02/2017 13:47

Watched it a couple of times, don't get what's so great about it. Or Ant and Dec for that matter.

glitterazi · 26/02/2017 13:50

Is that you Dec?

Grin Nope, wrong sex for starters lol.
McButtonwillow · 26/02/2017 13:53

ME TOO GLITTERAZI!

You bunch of miserable so and so's what's not to love Grin.

Much better then endless X factor, voice, dance like no-ones watching, sing like a superstar etc etc drivel.

SpongebobRoundPants · 26/02/2017 13:55

As nan would say, 'what aload of ol'shit'.
