Sundays, 8pm,
ITV1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know there was a post for the Xmas Special\/Pilot\/Whatever<\/a> but I think taking the show to a series brings with it its own set of challenges – namely as a “one-off” you can do all the nostalgia hits and spend twenty minutes applauding Luke Litter coming on stage and whatever, but a full series has to stand on its own two feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For what it’s worth I thought there was clearly an entertaining regular 45-minute show you could probably get from the Xmas Special’s production values – Freddie Flintoff was good, entertaining, believable as host, Little Richard Ashdown is fine in the Tony Green role, but we’ve still got a 60-minute slot to fill out of a 30-minute format and in the middle of primetime as well. And they’re bringing back Luke Littler for the first episode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adverts suggest there’s a new round (format development after forty years, you love to see it), and I hope they’ve rebalanced Pounds For Points so it doesn’t feel quite so irrelevant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They say you can’t beat a bit of Bully on a Sunday, I expect Antiques Roadshow<\/em> will have something to say about that, but having thought in the recent past that I wish they’d just leave this alone, the Christmas Special suggested there might still be some life left in Bully yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
