This was one of those shows that the BBC promote to the hilt, make out it's going to be the best thing since sliced bread, and then quietly admit later that it wasn't as good as it should have been.
The talent is all there, but it's all pieces of a puzzle that has been put together better before, and elsewhere.
For whatever reason, the BBC just don't seem to do this show well, and this was another fine example.
It ran for two series, and although the BBC probably claimed that the reason for this not running longer was due to the pandemic, the truth is it just was never anything better than just 'ok'.
