I suffer the same irrationality. I couldn't stand him in eastenders either.

I cant ever remember individuals like Joey being promoted and rammed down your throats when he did it. Tara was annoying but Mark kept it together.”
I liked both of them. He had an air of distain about him (and the show) and she offset that with her ditzy character. Ah, those were the days................
I can't stand the programme. It's like children's tv at night.
I would think it would be much cheaper and get more viewers tuning in, if they just had an hour of live feed highlights. I used to love watching them in camp, just chatting and playing games etc.

Me too!
It might have felt like amateur-night sometimes, but it had a more chatty/friendly vibe to it then. TPT and MD had a bit of chemistry going on, and there certainly wasn't the hate/bias/bitching that goes on now.
I can't watch it either...
Ive watched this on and off over the years and I must say it is quite long grade TV, especially when the main show is so good. But at that time of night when Im half watching TV and texting its easy to watch without to much concentration
I tend to record both shows, and go up to bed around 11:30 and view both, by hte time i get to watching Now, i start with good intentions to view the whole show, but then i think sod it after 5/10 minutes and go to bed
It's a terrible show, I try to watch it but just always end up turning over...total drivel. It reinforces that there isnt much to talk about from the main show - as they focus so much on one or two celebrities.
The worst thing about it is Joe Swash, how does he get TV work and the thing that concerns me the most - why would somebody as lovely as Kara Tointon go out with this guy?

BIB: I know, right! Although it's ok, she came to her senses and is now, still, with the lovely Artem Talk about an upgrade

Within 10 minutes of the show, the presenter and Joe Swash were calling each other out, over some idiotic remark.
Are they made by the same company? Is it because they're on different channels?
I think lose Joe Swash, and the "comedy" guy, and get some good guests on the show.”
