I don't often watch the One Show, but it happened to be on when I walked in. What's wrong with it tonight, has someone put speed into everyone's tea? Shouty, rushed and sort of bad tempered, almost as if the entire cast & crew were spoiling for a fight! Irritating and off-putting.

I must have been watching a different, 'One Show' to you, I really enjoyed it.
What was Bad tempered? Didn't see or hear anything shouty?
They rushed in the last seconds only.
What was all that stuff Evans kept saying about 'two shots' during the Egyptian mummy segment? John Sargeant seemed a bit wound up as well!
Then a nice restful bit about the Sun House, but then all rushy again with the guess the husband bit. It was like they had far too much to get in and no time to spend on anything.
why can't they get someone else other than Evans for friday
I agree, have just watched it with my oh and we both thought it was really rushed and they did not seem to know what they were doing half the time! really strange show.
It could have been because carrot top was doing it tonight, I can never watch him cos he still thinks he is on radio with talking over people and making Crap jokes, he kept saying "that's a good shot" when it showed the Mummy casein the picture even though John Sergeant was trying to talk! he has a habit of pulling Alex Jones up if she has missed a question which is really rude, wish they could get rid of him.
The whole thing seemed bad-tempered as if they were about to kick off.
Matt Baker is overly smug and is just as bad. He plays up to the cameras to please the old dears in care homes who think he's 'lovely'
Chris Evans is usually alright, he has more TV experience than Matt and Alex put together.
That sounds like a 'normal' show tbh. Cannot stand Chris Evans as he does shout over everyone.
I stopped watching a while back as they always butt in when the guests are speaking and say they have run out of time, yet they always have time to show viewers boring photo's at the end.
So why do you watch it
They are the reasons why I don't watch
He always remind me of an overgrown schoolboy.
Remember his disastrous attempts to ''present'' golf on 5Live when one morning he actually forgot to turn up. Evans is the sort of ''personality'' who needs a strong producer to rein him in. Clearly he doesn't have one on TOS.
I didn't watch it but the comments on twitter reflect the views of the OP.
I'm not on Twitter, but it would be interesting to see Stephen Merchants view on it, I saw the show (see above post) and there was definitely something going on, Merchant, Sergeant, Jay Rayner etc were rushed, interrupted, spoken over etc in a most unprofessional way - even for this programme!

He seems safe enough in his R2 slot:

It's not a problem if you get a guest that treats the One Show for what it is.. just a chance to smile, say a few things and plug their latest DVD or whatever it is they're there to talk about.. but you get a guest who actually wants to talk about something... it immediately leads to trouble and they quickly begin to over run on their tight schedule.
When a guest talks too much I refer to it as a one show guest "going rogue" and sometimes it's hilarious because you can see how it cocks them up.
The other factor on Friday's is Chris Evans. He puts Alex on edge every week and I doubt she likes him that much. So that never helps. He's just too big a personality really and treats it all as a bit of a laugh. Although Peter Kay is one guest he can't dominate and it's quite amusing to see even Chris Evans pushed to the point of anger by Peter Kay's antics. I think they clear the entire schedule when Peter is on the show because they know they'll never get any of it shown because he's pratting about too much.
Can you tell I watch far too much of the One Show?
What you say is true and has been mentioned before.
But it doesn't stop some people being unaware how scripted is this show. All the presenters really want is a short sentence reply from any guest. Any sort of an actual conversation developing with a guest, which many viewers would think the show's about, is discouraged by talking across them or cutting them short.
They use a "shotgun technique" of packing the show with so many diverse elements, in a desperate attempt to stop viewers changing channels.
Oh and another weird thing last night was Chris Evans humming the theme to Emmerdale at 7pm.
Bruce Willis on the show next week BTW!!
