STUDIO: FACT-ENT PROGRAMME

TOO MUCH TV - BBC2 (29th March 2016, 6:30pm)




Weekdays live show where a mix of presenters take you through the television stories and programmes of the day. Everything from new presenters on the X Factor to the latest TV dramas to watch. Early evening fairly relaxed television that aims to inform. They have different bits that they do as a staple:

  1. Celebrity guests
  2. Lists of top TV personnel 
  3. Different TV theme tune playing them out each episode
  4. TV News
  5. and What to watch later that evening
On the episode I watched they talked about 'Bake off: Creme de la Creme' (BBC 2) and hoe Dermot O'leary is due to return to present The X Factor. As well as counting down top TV chefs and talking to guests Helen Monks from 'Raised by Wolves' (channel 4) and Dave Spikey of 'Phoenix Nights' (channel 4) fame.

I have to say it was quite enjoyable and kept me interested throughout with a couple good VT's and interviews. The interesting thing about it is that it is incredibly similar to my original pitch idea about a TV review show. My pitch set out a show idea that would much like film review shows review the weeks television highlights. Very similar to this except on a weekly basis rather than daily. I also wanted to have some more opinionated critic on to discuss shows in a more thoughtful way, very much in the same vain as the 'Kermode and Mayo film review show' on BBC radio 5live.

Despite the low viewership of this programme I found it informative, interesting and entertaining with its mix of reviews and interviews.
