If you didn't know about this show by the monumental amount of promo ads in the lead up to their first show, then you must be living on another planet. And truth be told, living on another planet during this program may be an absolute blessing.

Morris & Brown have been flogged to death by CH10 to such an extent their faux infatuation routine ran its race months ago. Morris doing Blind Date (or whatever it was called) was further evidence that TV stations are too ******* lazy to try out a new face & character.

We watched the second edition of SNT-A when CH10 repeated it the next day and could not believe how lame the thing is. Half-cocked pranks coupled with audience giveaways are not a new phenomenon so unless you do it really well, it's going to bomb big time.

Get it hosted by two unfunny people with very little ad-lib ability and its a recipe for total disaster.

An article in yesterday's Sunday Telegraph reports that the production company has now gone onto Facebook asking for "unpaid stand ins" for their rehearsals on Saturdays from 8:45am to 7pm & Sundays 9:45am to about 5pm. You do get a "catered lunch" for your 17-hours of unpaid work though. :rolleyes:

I'll give it another 4-6 weeks before it is axed.

Am I the only person who thinks CH10 have yet again wasted time & resources on a limp half-arsed project ??
 
The british version 'Saturday night takeaway' hosted by Ant and Dec is fantastic and has been going for over a decade. It works well as the two hosts are actually funny and can hold a show together.

It's another attempt by an Australian TV station trying to replicate a show that has worked well overseas and coming up with a very inferior version
