Charlie Brooker, David Mitchell, Lauren Laverne and Jimmy Carr

[Iceman]

But how often is it gonna be on (going on your point of them over-showing stuff)

[Shaun]

weekly

[arista]

Yes being Live
is what we need.

Hmmm dunno, Jimmy Carr is all over at the moment, getting a bit sick of seeing him

[Shaun]

I've thought that for the past 10 years

But here he is a team player.

And Live

The bad news is that it sounds like Jimmy will be the main host.

Looking forward to it!

after a piss-poor first 2 weeks, it's become watchable. Still hate Carr though... and Mitchell is a pretty bad interviewer. He stutters so frequently, but that might just be the nerves of it being live.

[GypsyGoth]

I've gotten into the habit of watching it. I LOL at it

[GiRTh]

Its getting better but still not great. Carr is a gags man not a satirist and lets the whole thing down. Mitchell's rant are getting good but his interviews are still poor, Brooker is the best thing on TV at the moment, Laverne is out of her depth but I undersant why they need a female presenter on the team. I hope it runs for a while cuz it should get better and better.

But all he does is the same as his own show.
It a carbon copy.

Just announced that this will be getting a second series in early 2012 - but they've cut the series length from 15 to 10 episodes and the running time from 65 minutes to 45.

Darren Smith, the channel's commissioning editor for entertainment, said: "After learning from the first series, we're keen to cover the same kinds of stories, with a similarly acerbic angle but will be making efforts to make the running order a little more flexible.

"That means we will have regular items but you perhaps won't see them every single week. It's a slightly more bespoke approach to the news agenda that gives the show room to breathe, and hopefully room to be even funnier.
