Loved it. Seems like a really good chemistry between the 3 of them.

Nice review here too: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radi ... 1560716866

Me too. Very dull. I like Chris Harris, I like Paddy McGuinness but I can't stand Flintoff. He's robbing a living, waste of skin :thumbsdown:

Yup I thought the chemistry was finaly there. :thumbsup: Enjoyed the Fezza Vs Mac slot :thumbsup:

The road trip was a bit slow though. :| Hope Porsche were watching. A boxster where you could tell the front from the back, amazing mod. :lol: :thumbsup:

I had my doubts - but I enjoyed it and enjoyed it enough to put it on series record.

I must admit I enjoyed it to a degree. (Much better than ginger shouty boy and Joey).
The problem they have is coming up with fresh ideas to keep this old donkey going, nothing new last night. :cry:

we will see how it pans out, the chemistry has to work, and a barely and almost begrudging thumbs up from the queen of lefties the guardian is hardly praise at all, but then i read a writup/slanging from someone also from the guardian who by his picture is a millennial and still lives with him mommy. Always the same - those that can - do - those that cant - write about it. :wink:
