The first episode was pure Car Crash tv. It was so bad yesterday, that I've found myself watching it again. Call it my morbid fascination. It's desperately desperately bad, and therefore unintentionally mesmerising. Can't say I'll give it a 3rd go.
This is the first time I've seen the show, I'm finding them pretty exhausting to watch to be honest. I don't think Sue will get away with the 'love eggs' gag.
Cute dogs. I mean the actual dogs! Just realised this was on. Used to love mel and sue on light lunch I hope this is along a similar vein. Sue has a type of intelligence I find alluring and mel has little moments of comic genius! Great pair.

I think they did well especially considering it was live...live tv is always on the edge a bit and especially so when M&S ad lib. Jennifer Saunders was good...but I suppose that depends if you like her/think shes funny. I guess theyre not to your taste with your stark condemnation of them and were all entitled to our opinion of course. I like quick wit so thought they were good....makes a change from the dull, autocue-led pre scripted 'banter' of some presenters.
the dog looked like it was really struggling there. why make the dog do that?
Was just about to post the same thing. Was quite upsetting to watch. He looked like he hit his face at the end too. Really unhappy to see a dog treated like that.
Offcom I think. That was not pleasant to watch! I am pretty angry about that. Christ, this is 2014 not the 1900's! - Why oh why would they put such a terrible act like that on TV!

These two have got some history in the genre which usually starts badly then gets worse. Light Lunch on C4 had to be removed from its slot. It was getting pounded in the ratings and ended up on at tea time. Then Mel had a stint on ITV co hosting with richard Hammond. That car crash, lasted six weeks, about the same time he was in a coma, coincidentally it felt like being in one watching it.
tried to watch it again today but turned over after ten minutes which is a shame because I had started to like Sue perkins again after her brilliant travel show over on the beeb ,
The whole show comes across as very amateurish which is a shame because both of them can do much better

i actually remember that. what a mess that was.
anyway, hope they get thousands of complaints for showing that stupid dog trick.

I'm not sure they can do much better. Their humour is quite childish with a bit of sexual innuendo thrown in which quite tiresome.
I could not agree more! Offcom link above. We should NOT be watching stuff like that for entertainment these days!
Thank you for the link. Have sent a complaint and commented on the show's facebook page. There are quite a lot of people saying the same thing there too.
It was a very poor decision to feature all the animals today. I don't think a live television studio is appropriate and its inhumane. I cant imagine Chris and Michaela were satisfied with this and the poor dog trying to walk the tightrope was cruel and upsetting. I said in ours that the dog's owner looked a bit 'strained'...and you wonder how the poor pet was trained to attempt this. Im surprised that M&S went along with this.

This is what happens when they become popular on a baking show but give them their own show and it's not so good. It has happened to a few others if I remember rightly.

Do the guests come on next?
Hope this dies a death quick.

Borderline cruel in my opinion! I wouldn't be surprised if they get complaints about this!
Exactly! His tail was down and he certainly did not look happy doing that but pertrified.

Chris Packham looked very disapproving watching it.
He should of had the balls to stand up and stop it. Sue looked uncomfortable too!
Who on earth decided that was 'entertainment' for TV. I a still angry I witnessed that.

I agree, bring back Alan Titchmarsh
