Time to give up on terrestrial television
paulspencer-9039416 November 2021
What probably seemed like a good idea has sunk into a college committee of young idealists all wanting to make a point. Those funny moments are getting further and further apart. Clearly, some of the people are better at presenting than others. To put it simply, there are now better programmes on Youtube.

Cheap, loud, annoying
RogerRoger7718 November 2021
I don't mind Tom Allen in (some) other shows, but neither he nor the other two presenters here can save this from being utterly, cringingly awful. It feels like something thrown together in about five minutes, with no wit, thought or really any purpose at all. None of the episode I watched was even slightly funny and the baying audience must have been heavily inebriated to have been laughing as much as they were. If you want to see what clever, and funny, satire of TV's inanities looks like watch Harry Hill or Charlie Brooker - not this mindless drivel. Overall, I found this programme so bad, I had to check the channel to make sure I wasn't accidentally watching Dave.

It's an ok idea, shoddy presentation

I like Tom Allen, Jess is alright but I feel tries way to hard and Munya is clearly charismatic and talented but his arrogance is off putting. I enjoy the series as mindless daft fun, it's not clever or really important tv, just a laugh.

However episode 4 annoyed me, I'm big on equality but also a realist, I believe whoever is best for a job/role should get it, whether it's a woman managing men's football or a black presenter of a traditionally white perceived show, I just want to spend my time watching or seeing or experiencing the best versions of things. I do object to everyone claiming those who reject diversity as it's presented now are "racist" it's idiotic comments like that which cause more hate. I think stuff is done for the wrong reasons, it's blatantly obvious in some sections of entertainment. Making superman bisexual ... it's always changing established stuff to cause issues instead of creating new fresh people for everyone to love.

What I think makes it more laughable is these guys fighting for tv time aren't helping countries with real race issues that impact basic rights, they fight for the shallow narcissistic improvements but ignore others plights, hypocrites. I for one want to see the entitled and influencing helping those without basic human rights before fighting for another role presenting a Dave show. Equality means EVERYONE, not just the entertainment industry.

Upon finishing the show, I'd say series two needs a lot of work, I'd not bring munya back unless he can add something outside of constant race jokes or pointing out his heritage, one of the worst "tv personalities " I've seen.

Actually very witty even though I expected not to like it!

Love this show, even though I did not want to, as it contains far too much swearing and bum jokes but it is hard not to when Tom Allen takes the mickey out of the SAS Who Dares Wins show with such gay abandon.

Very funny even though I did not expect to like it.

Tom Allen is just so naturally funny - from the Apprentice to this, he presents it with class, style and his usual acerbic wit!

From the bad reviews it seems people have lost their sense of humour in this PC obsessed world , me personally i prefer the most outrageous and pushing the limits type of humour from the likes of Frankie Boyle.

Apart from Tom the standout funny man with his laid back one liners is the black guy Munya Chawawa who sits in the corner and makes the odd but very witty relevant observations on all that is going on around him!
