TFI

[firefly78]

urgh that prick bono is on.

I've just typed.this as my Facebook status:

A band who were huge in the 90's on a tv show that was big in the 90's, being hosted by a bloke who was big in the 90's.

This is what happens when Simon Cowell takes over light entertainment. It sucks any talent out and we have to depend on acts from 20 years ago to keep us entertained.

Inkle I was looking for someone to complain to but LeBon/Rhodes/Taylor (John and Roger) are on the credits. Phew.

I really enjoyed it , nostalgia plus a bit of U2.

Yeah - tell 'em U2.

I missed the bits with U 2 on because I turned in late and was rather embarrassed by the drum banging/Take That sliding attempt at lad-ness.

I suppose it's quite flattering for them Sparkling ??

Ooh I just don't know Inkle. You can't really improve on the original HLTF in my view.
I was a bit cross.

Sorry too much wine. HLTW obvs.

Are you suggesting that Simon Cowell has poached all the good talent...? Not sure about that!

I think TFI should have mixed it up with more current acts, it was all a bit of a nostalgia fest wasn't it. Not that I care, it was fun.

No, he's sucked the life out of light entertainment with his churning out of constant shite.

He's soaked the industry with mediocre shows and now there's no emerging t.v. talent.

Hungry Like The Fox ????

Something like that Inkle.

Fonz?

Ok,it wasnt as good as it's hay-day but it was never going to be was it?

Agree,U2 we pants (sorry to the fans here) and I am DEVESTATED they didnt get the giant u2 heads dancing on stage with them.

Re Billie being in the audience,didnt spot her husband there but he was on the radio with chris last week,so dont think there are any issues there.

No they were pants tonight.

It's the worst performance I've ever seen from Bono.

The band were great but his vocals were awful and even I cringed listening.

It is not the norm although he often gets raspy at the end of a tour, but never that bad.

He better be back on form on the 30th

Did it used to be on for longer than an hour?
Where were the items such as Fat Lookalikes, Ugly Bloke, Freak or Unique? Or are they not politically correct enough these days?

I heard Chris Evans saying that they were going to have new features rather than repeating the old ones. Not sure if it was because they were non-pc or he didn't want to be accused of not having any new ideas.

I didn't mind last night's - it wasn't fantastic but not awful. U2 and Take That sounded pretty bad, I like the idea of having an unsigned act on and hope they do that each week. I think I have a bit of a soft spot for the programme just because of happy memories of the time when it was on, when life was simpler!

Billie's husband was there on a bar stool . The sound wasn't great , DH has watched U2 again this morning , mega fan and it wasn't the best . Hope he's saving his voice for Belfast !

Awful. Lost its wit and sparkle. Where were the cool new indie bands? If you don't want to go new, get back some of the indie bands we loved first time round.

It was slow and stodgy.

Like a late night Loose Women.

watched it for half hour as i missed it in the 90s to see if its any good, the best act was the man with the yo yo bonio was crap take thats dancing was awful i turned over and watched the street
