Well, I watched with an open mind tonight and I have to say we unanimously approve of the new time and format in our house
. I like the fact that they are still flitting back to Simon King on Rum. I also think they are getting more actual information in
because it's been pre-recorded. I also noticed that they gave you a quick run-down of what's coming at the beginning and then just got on with it. That makes me wonder if the old (and I agree slightly tedious) habit of telling you what's coming up every five minutes was a bit of a 'filler' in the old format of the show.
I really enjoyed 'Unsprung' - that out-take with Simon was hilarious. And wasn't the Sparrowhawk stunning!?
It will be interesting to watch the repeat on Saturdays as the weeks go buy to see how the content changes (or not as the case may be) from the 9pm slot to accommodate families.
...oh, and I just loved Chris' 'Geeky Bit'.
