enough of the horse chat
totp reviews - a couple that sum it up nicely for me..
The show is just so very BBC. Lacking innovation or new ideas, it looks cheap too, with the lingering suspicion its got many of the same people working on it that produce Blue Peter and the Saturday morning kids shows. Its not a patch on CD:UK or anything on C4 or cable TV which look slick, up to date and not so contrived. The whole show felt empty (especially with just the one presenter) and unengaging. Not a patch on its immediate predecessor or indeed the competition.

The live format certainly gave it the feeling of anything could happen, but instead of wondering which controversial stars might swear or start a new age of pop rebellion, in today's toned down, well behaved days we were simply left wondering if Tim Kash would ever make it through a link or if the audience would ever know which camera they were on.
