God knows, but someone must be as they won an NTA yet again. I used to watch it occasionally years ago when Fern Britton was presenting it as I liked her, but not now with that bloody awful pair.

How the hell has it won an NTA 🤔

YANBU I've probably said this before but I think most of their viewing numbers come from dentist waiting rooms and work break rooms. No one seriously voluntarily watches this banal crap do they?

Probably, I can’t imagine anyone actually sits at home watching it

I wonder this too. Same old boring format for years I don’t get it.

pinkyredrose · 29/10/2022 11:36

Stop watching it and go and check your garden for space debris

TerrifyingGhostTrain · 29/10/2022 11:37

Load of crap! Would rather watch paint dry.

Bonjovispjs · 29/10/2022 11:37

It's won an NTA for best daytime show 12 years in a row apparently, no idea who votes for them.

It’s awful. I always thought it was for the person with not much going on upstairs.

Holly and Phil need to be put at the back of a very very very long queue and left there until they die.

ProperSorryFrown · 29/10/2022 11:45

Patronising,repetitive and shallow.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 29/10/2022 11:45

i never watch it but pretty much all my colleagues watch tv in the morning
plenty of people at home with tv's on i think

JamesGetIn · 29/10/2022 11:45

Christ only knows. One of my biggest fears is winding up in a care home, no autonomy for whatever reasons, and being made to watch that or Blankety fucking blank 😫

RoryRobin · 29/10/2022 11:47

Dole. Don't the viewing figures roughly correspond with the unemployment figures?

VladmirsPoutine · 29/10/2022 11:47

I think they get the numbers they do because of all the waiting rooms and care homes etc which need something inoffensive and light for that time of the morning because it's otherwise just shit.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 29/10/2022 11:48

whenever i am off sick i quite like that house programme - homes under the hammer
but last time i was off sick i just stuck with radio 4

TollgateDebs · 29/10/2022 11:50

They stick it on in A&E waiting rooms and this generally empties them! Seriously, it is dire and have only seen bits when flicking through channels on the days I have not been well and then for seconds. Saw something about packet rice this week, when recovering from the Covid jab side effects and could not believe that passes for entertainment!

over50andfab · 29/10/2022 11:51

Like any TV programme it’s personal choice isn’t it? I guess the viewing figures speak for themselves.

(or maybe this is another thinly disguised Phil and Holly bashing thread 🤔)

And I am here for a bit of Holly and Phil bashing

YellowTreeHouse · 29/10/2022 12:02

YABU. It’s won a NTA every year for over a decade.

I love it, it’s really entertaining and I think Holly and Phil are fab.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 29/10/2022 12:06

i wouldnt consider watching it - ever
i was brought up to think day time tv watching was a sin

GonnaGetGoingReturns · 29/10/2022 12:11

I used to watch it when Judy and Richard were on but if I ever try to watch it now... my eyes go funny, cannot stand Holly and Phil! Eamon and Ruth a bit better. Alison also annoying.

Homes under the Hammer is my go to morning tv binge if I have to but since I heard Martin Roberts is a bit of a dick in real life, that's put me off too!

rainbowstardrops · 29/10/2022 12:15

I like it if I'm ever around to see it.
It would be a pretty boring place if everybody liked the same thing!
