    I'll be watching. Not sure how this show is going to fair in primetime but it is certainly the best programme on in the daytime. Hard to believe it's been on the air for 10 years - that's flown by!

    It's quite a feat to have reached ten years.

    The Wright Stuff is still relatively hidden on Channel Five's morning TV schedule, but it's a good show.

    Unlikely. :D

    I don't think this one has been designed to be a huge ratings winner. But if it boosts numbers for the daytime showing then I'm sure they'll be happy!

    A bit odd for the scheduling but whatever. They should move the show to the Live from Studio Five slot and make it a proper contender for The One Show.

    Yep, enjoying it :)

    I think an evening version would be a possibility, even if it was just one programme a week. It's cheap to make and fits the kind of celeb bill that Richard Desmond will want to have.

    One of my fave clips, and the second most-viewed on TWStuff (the most is a discussion about Frankie Boyle's Rebecca Adlington joke):

    Do you fancy a bum?

    LOL. Doubt they'll show that one tonight! Was that for Balls of Steel?

    Have they used any of your clips tonight or are they all their own captures?

    Nice idea to have a 10 years evening show for TWS. They're getting the audience involved too now , hope they keep doing that for the last 20 minutes.

    I bet MW did fancy a bum !     :D

    I'm watching. I watch the daytime version whenever my shift patterns allow me to do so. It is almost like a tv version of DS...(General Discussion) with lively debates and discussions about various topics of the day....and it sure beats watching Jeremy Kyle on t'other side! Happy 10th Birthday TWS.

    Twice! Easy mistake to make I suppose when you've been doing a morning show for 10 years. :D

    Great celebration of the show with some very funny clips. Happy 10th Birthday Wright Stuff. :)

    Shame they didn't get to speak to the lovely Amanda Lamb though. :o

    Good to see Miriam Stoppard in the audience- haven't seen her on the show in a very long time. I heard she wasn't too well a while back.

    Didn't actually mean to watch this, honest!
    One of the ad break questions was how many audience members have there been since it started. Apparently only 50,000. That's way too low surely for a show that's on 5 days a week most of the year, for the last ten years? I know the audience is small, but even so...

    I watched it, and did mean too!... I really like the show and watch it whenever i can, There is a very small audience each morning so the total didn't surprise me, it's not broadcast from the O2!......;)

    To be honest, who cares? If it had huge audience figures, the chances of an idiot getting through on the phone would increase (even though that can be entertaining), as would the chances of someone in the audience getting offended at something!

    I only watch it occasionally myself because I'm away in the mornings!

    That was Balls of Steel, and they'll use their own footage. You can tell when they use Youtube clips as they're always fairly lousy by the time they make it to air.

    I'm sure they only showed footage from the Princess era, nothing from when Anglia produced the show.

    Nice to see Kirsty doing vox pops, this was key to the old Anglia show in 2000.

    I've quite got the hots for Miriam Stoppard, even if she is about 72. Shame they've cut back on a lot of the features, including hers, so they only have a TV review section now, which used to be Ian Hyland's once they eventually brought him back, but now is Kevin O'Sullivan who I don't like as he seems to love everything, so where is the 'critic' in his criticism?? Hence, Hyland seems to have been dumped a second time. And that segment itself gets dumped when they have the book segments.

    I'm not talking about the number of people watching at home. It's the people sitting in the studio! And ok you're right, who cares but I couldn't care less about most of the threads on here, so I don't comment on them! Still I think if you do the maths it doesn't add up.
