Very much looking forward to The Last Leg back in its original guise, although I do hope the 8pm time slot doesn't mean it has to be watered down

And Clare's back in primetime once again so what's not to love plus Rishi Persad, Lee McKenzie, Jonathan Edwards, Simon Brotherton, Ronald McIntosh and Bob Ballard all worked on the Olympics so it'll be like they never left yay

Not being nasty but i could care less about this, sorry but i find all the enthusiasm a little fake and unpalatable (on telly not individually)
