To tune into Saturday Night Take Away for the first time

[Yarboosucks]

Just to see what they say….

Shameful

I’m nervous for Dec

I think many will be doing just that.

I just wondered this. Never watched it but was flicking through and thought, I bet their ratings go up tonight.

Yay. Paloma and Stephen Merchant. I am well happy.

Is Dec going to be by himself?

I imagine Scarlett and the Mulhern bloke will be helping..

Solitary figure coming down the stairs....

Just did because of this thread - lasted 30 seconds.

YANBU I am doing the same

I’m emotional for little Dec

I haven't watched it live for ages. poor Dec seems very nervous.

this is going to be super hard for him and he is going to have to plaster a smile on his face

I heart Stephen merchant. Let him come down!

He does seem nervous

I think he's ok now.

Just tuned in. Did they say anything at the beginning?

He started off visibly shaky but seems to be okay now. Wish him well.

I don’t make a point of watching it although I have seen it. Recording it tonight tho cos I am nosy to see what if anything they say.

Did he say anything? Tuned in at 7.02... just before he handed to Stephen Merchant

I havent been able to watch can i ask what was said?

Yeah, he's fine now, understandably nervous to start. Assume a lot of people want him to fail judging by stuff I have read lately.

He just made a quick joke that he had twice the work to do.

Me too. Never watched it before in my life! Haven’t seen Ant and Dec since Byker Grove!

Nothing has been said. SM joked aboput a gap on the stage and asked if he could go down there then much joking about the height difference ensued.

They've handled it well so far.

I feel for Dec. I'm glad the nerves have worn off!
