I think this is pretty good... I'm more of a fan of the guests than the host, but he did a good job, oozing competence.
I liked the ironic use of chatshow/quiz conventions, although it was soft irony.
The laughter sounded utterly fake, which is a shame, why not trust a natural sound?
Personally, I'd rather have a non-personality name for the show, much more room for it to evolve that way.
Very promising!

Matt Lucas as a host naturally generates warmth and generosity. I like the format of the show with the house band and the award ceremony. However my fear for it is; that actual award criteria's such as the most pointless talent of the guests or the worst song by a reputable artist is rather week. But in the same context the Tracy Goodwin clip was funny. I also liked the two songs which Matt sung to introduce the show and end the show. I would watch more of Matt in this type of show. Keep up the good work.

I forgot to mention Jack Whitehall’s take and impersonation of 'The only Way is Essex' made me laugh out load.

i think for comedy its a big change at the moment, i saw this pilot the other day online and i was laughing my socks off, its called ''PAPADUMS'' , its pilot episode about a young brit asian male runninga nightclub with his cousin from India! for an independent company , you have to give credit!

I was at the inaugural show last night, which on balance was mediocre. Whilst Matt Lucas has an acceptable degree of talent to be a host, one has to question the wisdom of selecting such z-list, mind-numbingly boring and witless guests such as Chris Tarrant and Esther Rantzen. The show's saving grace was the mercurial and effortlessly brilliant musings of Mr Johnny Vegas. At times it was painful to witness the obvious gulf in ability between Mr Vegas on one end of the sofa and the other guests. This is a classic example where the Ö÷²¥´óÐã has had the ingredients but spoiled the recipe with completely the wrong mixture and serving temperature. Why not have both Lucas and Vegas be co-hosts on a late night no-holds barred take down of celebrities, culture, politicians, events etc where the guests get a proper mauling or awarded for past indiscretions? just a thought. Come on Ö÷²¥´óÐã..stop churning out the same old mediocre claptrap and give us some edgy, seat of the pants electric wit from talent already in your stable

I so agree with omar_squash and so well-written. All Esther was worried about was keeping her knees together so as not to reveal her knickers! Every so often she would make a banal remark and, when not speaking, put on a cheesy grin. Chris Tarrant's contribution was minimal. He was like a little schoolboy messing about on the sofa, giggling away when his stick-on moustache kept falling off. As to Johnny Vegas, he was great. Matt couldn't shut him up, but his remarks were witty and off the cuff. He had to do a retake and Matt and Johnny were in fits of laughter, but it was all genuine. Johnny was obviously thoroughly enjoying the show and making a positive contribution to it, whereas Esther and Chris were only there for the money. As for Trinny and Susanna, if you'd blinked, you'd have missed them - well, that probably would have been a good thing! BTW Johnny was the only guest who came outside after the recording and stood for a good 10 mins having photos taken with members of the audience. What a nice bloke. Quite frankly I enjoyed the show, but probably wouldn't watch it on the TV but for being a member of the audience.
