"Tench is something that is pioneering the way for the future."

What  - how sad is this

I like the show, although last weeks show wasn't as good as the first in my opinion. But I can't see it being axed, TEN has signed on for 26eps...

Mark Holden is on this week... that should be interesting/wierd/goony goo?

I will be watching with interest.

Tench should really learn to address his guests by their first names if he's to survive on the air. I think Ten advertised it really poorly this week. Particularly the Claudia Karvan ads.

He has learned with the full name thing it seems, tonight he said just Claudia or Mark most of the time and only said there full names a couple times. The show is getting better, it was funnier tonight then last week, much better!

Absoulty loved it tonight it was funny - mark holden still sux thou

Yeah, Mark Holden's appearance was awsome... had me in stiches.

Holden was laughing spastically last night. Or maybe he just has that fake laugh a la Andrew 'O Keefe.

hmm we had it on last night as noise (wasnt much else on either) and I caught the Mark Holden bit. I thought he was a prat, but I LOVED the insults that flew between them near the end.

Also, the wiggy wack oogly googly talk was funny.

Wasnt enough to get me to want to watch the show all the time though : /

so is there atucally some1 sitting there in one of those suits with the balls on them or are the guest talking to a piece of cardboard with a voice over.

No, the guests and studio audience can actually see Tench live. He is edited with motion capture animation a la Polar Express, where the physical movements of the guy who provides his voice is instantly animated.

They also made fun of motion capture animation in an episode of The Simpsons where Homer played a dog.

What does everyone think of the new timeslot? Tench deffinetely tried to be more controversial and rude last week. I think the new timeslot allows the show to be better, last weeks episode was one of the better ones, hopefully it continues this way. It looks like he has three guests on this week, Meatloaf, Layne Beachley and Matthew Reilly. I dont know how they are going to fit three interviews in, it feels rushed enough as it is with two guests...

Controversial? I reckon the show can pass with a PG rating.

Anyways, I agree about Tench's lack of involvement with the audience, that could add a lot to the show.

I havn't watched it since pat rafters was boring but I think it still looks an ok show.
