The first episode kicks off with Sharon Osbourne, Rizzle Kicks & Lee Evans.
Not only that they have a brand new set this series as well:

Kind of a rich thing to say Because every single year for god knows how long now they have always had the X Factor Judges and Strictly Judges on there so I dont see how that is strange, and that it is normal for Channel 4 to have the judges on their it kinda brings in ratings.
It has really gone down hill, even compared to Ross on ITV.
The big name guests aren't really that special either.
The show lives off z-list, reality and x-factor type show guests and the stream of C4/chatty man regualrs.
I'm not sure how a glitzy set is supposed to help. Is it to bring in bigger stars?
One of the things that made it different was that it was supposed to be Alan in his flat inviting guests in for a chat and a drink.
He got celebs who were well liked but also a bit quirky and odd.
Now he's mainstream he just gets the big guests who want to plug their stuff on the big BBC1 show.
I have now watched but the guests were so awful that I nearly switched off, and im a fan of Alans!
Sharon Osbourne (I normally like her) was a bit OTT though to my liking.....was she putting it on do you think? Or just drunk!
Hideous OTT woman.
I hate the x factor, and any mention of it will have me switching the telly over as fast as I can.
Actually, crazy as it seems, all the top celebrities appear on The One Show in the week. I've seen huge names purely by accident over the summer, such as Barry Gibb and Rod Stewart to name just two. Many guests such as Frankie Valli last year do not seem to do the talk show circuit relentlessly. I know Rod has been on Alan's show, but the guest list is dire in the extreme and so transparently and blatantly promotional that it's a real turn off, such as with Osbourne there simply as a promo for X Factor and the foursome there just to promote another TV show on the BBC. Channel 4 telling everyone to watch anything but their own channel it seems. Alan Carr is so much better than this weary parade of guests. I'm actively put off the whole show by it. Yet the BBC's One Show seems to get some very high calibre guests that it does not deserve considering the poor presenters on that show, yet Alan Carr has to make do with over used, promo induced cast offs. Such a shame.
I think I even stopped watching it last year in the end as I got bored with it. Only really like watching when I know at least one guest
What character was Shiela Hancock supposed to be playing?
The other guests were a bit boring though
