Sorry, not much greatly interesting happening at the moment but this weekend we’ll have Show Discussion posts for You Bet On Tour and The Inheritance and there’s a new quiz podcast coming out next week that may or may not be interesting. And the following weekend has Postcodeloterij Win Win With The Postcode Lottery! September new season!
Meanwhile it’s the finals of Desty X tonight and tomorrow (the show everybody is ambivalent about), and The Fortune Hotel Thursday and Friday.
Edit: This has just come up on TV Zone and if I’ve understood it correctly it sounds potentially quite wild and interesting – basically Dermot O’ Leary introducing a live NFL game on Five under a NFL Big Game Night wraparound, and during the bits where they go to an ad break on US TV, Five will be doing a gameshow where members of the public helped by Sam Quek and Osi Umenyiora and a celeb will do things decided by the action just gone to help members of the public win trips to the US. Unpredictable stuff happening on live TV! I love it.
NFL Big Game Night sounds like one of those proper old school mad TV ideas that you just don’t see anymore. Sounds great – even if it’s terrible! Can’t wait.
Right? There are so many questions – how professional will it come across when they’re probably going to be winging the breaks? Will having a gameshow instead of analysis help or just annoy everyone?
I genuinely can’t wait to find out. also it will be really interesting to see how the first show compares to the last one – it sounds like this is every Sunday for months.
