fringo Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I believe (guy down pub, taxi driver etc told me) it's a one off comeback, but it might rerun if popular enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boynze Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 it was ok, but they could have done more with the show, to much looking back. and lewis hamilton, wtf? he more bland than tim henman, and also a wee fanny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, I've not seen it, but agree he's a fanny. I hope it was great. I love Danny Baker who wrote all the jokes/skits so hopefully it'll return, maybe once a month.

CumbernauldJag Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Thought it was rotten and really watered down from what it was. If it came back on a regular basis I dont think I'd be watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deecie Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Thought it was alright, nothing special though. The whole Top Gear crossover thing was a bit weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pool Q Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Proved, yet again, that great things from the past are best left alone. Self-congratulatory w@nk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotlad Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Essential pre-Friday night out viewing for me in the mid to late '90s. Used to set the tone nicely. By the early '00s it was clear it had its day though. Last night's show was a nice wee dauner down memory lane but its format felt dated. For that reason I'd be surprised if it came back on a regular basis. Then again, I am auld enough to remember the original; perhaps it will appeal to a younger generation.

iainmac1 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Remember watching it in school. Did it not come back a few years ago for a while? Or am I imagining it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TartanJon Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I thought it worked fine.A bit of pish talk with some celebrities ,a few daft skits and good live music is what Friday night tele was all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 The whole Top Gear crossover thing was a bit weird. Aye the 1st 40 minutes or so were good - the last 3hrs of Chris Evans interviewing for the Top Gear gig, not so much. Why was Lewis Hamilton given so much time, he's dull as fukk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JECK Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) Lewis Hamilton ruined it big time. Why the fk was he last guest?

Toepoke Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Liked and hated the original in equal measure but it was a nice wee nostalgia trip for the days when we were getting ready to head out for the weekend. If they brought it back I doubt I'd switch the telly on for it right enough. The fat lookalike of Liam Gallagher was good though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Sky +'ed and watching it now. Was ok, Evans I felt did not make full use of the post watershed and live freedom he had (clearly he knew one wrong turn/slip up here would cost him big elsewhere at the BBC) Nostalgia value it was great (90's Friday night viewing for me at 6pm, and catching the late night repeat later on), but I do not think it would work in the long run (though Evans clearly wants that and clearly pushing for Nick Grimshaw to host it) as it was a totally different era and 2/3's of the stuff he did back then would never been accepted today. Still better than Alan Carr and Graham Norton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ormond Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 How so? Years ago when Millwall had a big Scottish contingent he was on record as saying he wanted to clear out all the Jocks and pack them off back home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairbairn Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 TFI Friday confirmed for a run of 8 shows in the lead in to Christmas. Evans confirmed as host (which thankfully means that Nick Grimshaw is not!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
