Will be interesting to see what happens with Saturday Mash Up tomorrow morning on the CBBC Channel as its normally brimming with kids. Last week was a normal show but I guess its all hit a new level as the week has gone by so will be interesting to see what guests there is and human interaction.


Do they still do that game smashing a trolley through a pyramid of toilet rolls....?
Brekkie and james-2001 gave kudos

They've replaced it with a game where they drive in go-karts through the Media City building.

It felt a little strange, but also reminiscent of the original series alongside the 2012 Paralympic Games. As always they created simplified explanations to what is going on whilst cracking some jokes, having fun and sending out important messages.

I think Adam Hills captured the tone of the nation when saying that the next series is set to be in 6 weeks but who knows what is going to happen.

Also Adam now has to go into 14 days isolation when he returns to Australia tomorrow

And if he came back he presumably has to go into 14 day’s isolation here as well, so I think it’s pretty certain it won’t be back in 6 weeks.

The UK government has withdrawn the self isolation advice for travellers returning from specific countries and replaced it with the symptoms/household based guidance, so I think returning overseas travellers do not need to isolate upon arrival in the UK just because they have come from outside the country

Is a fast moving situation though - we never thought we'd be where we are today just a week ago.

As much as we slag off Peter Kay the #Channel4BringBack winner of Phoenix Nights isn't a bad shout to offer a bit of light relief during the next few weeks. Indeed might end up replacing The Last Leg itself.

Do they own the rights though considering clips of it appear on BBC One’s Comedy Shuffle.

That is the question. Would be good to see the show as it was intended rather than rehashed into clips as usual.

It always seems strange that the BBC One Peter Kay clip shows consist mostly of content originally shown on Channel 4.
