Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway 2016

As with last week - absolutely hate the performance at the start of the show!

I'm just hoping that there's some variation with the end of the show show. So far it's been Ant and Dec doing something random while a popular artist performed. I'm not sure about everyone else but I much preferred it when there was some skill involved such as the Irish Dancing one.

I do indeed but it didn't stop Steven Moffat from doing Sherlock. Plus, Chris Chibnall's series 11 won't be broadcast until 2018.

I can't imagine WSSC taking more than an afternoon and a half to churn out. Man in a dress - check. Under-the-radar prison sexual assault gag - check.

That's assuming Chris Chibnall actually wrote much of it all. From what I've read he "masterminded" it and has been "involved" in the story.

Females seem to be the favourite for the producer when it comes to win the ads it seems. I've yet to see a bloke play this part of the show.

Im sure were been here every series. I wonder if there actually reason?

Pretty poor effort at an end-of-the-show show tonight. Craig David sings (well, you know, whatever it is he does) and Ant & Dec wobble about on hoverboards.

Technically they're segways, not hoverboards. Actual hoverboards (as seen in Back To The Future II) don't exist (yet).

Anyway show wise, I suspect we're beginning to run out of steam far as as end of the show shows are concerned. And if Sofa Watch was anything to go by (Sofa Watch without a sofa? Really?) we may be running out of money...

Tell that to almost every one who is famous on Vine.

I feel that it was a watered down show tonight, quite a lot of things have changed since last series and as said they are running out of ideas, items that I found 'entertaining' were the things like the Super Computer and the way they had the audience pictures on a random screen somewhere in world.

The lack of ideas/interest/money is becoming more and more stark, and I felt like this week really dragged... and I was watching a recording where I could skip the adverts.

I don't like saying it because I thought SNT was one of ITV's best shows in recent years, but it's becoming a shadow of its former self (again?) The hidden camera thing with Mel B is probably one of the worst ones they've ever done, although I am a little biased given I've grown to loathe Mel B after her abysmal input on The Big Fat Quiz of the Year. Also, after watching Impractical Jokers on Comedy Central, you realise how tame this attempt at the formula is compared to four not-particularly-famous friends from America.

And as for The End of the Show Shows, they're becoming less and less spectacular, and have gone from a full-on ensemble performance to A&D d*cking around while a singer sings a song. I do hope they consider taking another hiatus rather than run it into the ground and it becomes unbearable. I wonder if the talk about them wanting to go into acting is a sign they're wanting to move on to other things. They've been doing the same three jobs for nearly ten years, even longer if you count just SNT and I'm a Celebrity.

I can only hope that if the current show state is down to money saving, it's being saved for the live show on the cruise ship at the end of the series, as I don't suppose doing live outside broadcasts like that comes cheap never mind the cost of hiring the ship and crew and all the TV stuff and whatever... It may suck up a considerably large percentage of the overall budget which means the rest of the series suffers.

Time will tell at the end of the series.

It'll be ironic if they lose the feed.
