  • Naga is unbearable

    Why does Naga feel the need to insert herself into this so much? I wish she’d leave the reviews to Hayley and Scott, it would flow so much better. She adds nothing other than to bulldoze everything based on her often ill informed opinion. I want to listen to the experts not naga bullying everyone as if hers is the only opinion that matters.

    Side note, the more I listen the more unbearable Naga becomes.

  • Bullying host

    I used to love this show and kept listening to it when the host changed from Nihal to Naga but I can’t stick it any longer. Under Nihal it was three mates chatting about TV. Now it’s two reviewers doing their best to review TV shows while the host is downright nasty to them.

    I’ve had to stop listening and switched to the Pilot TV podcast. Which is a real shame as I love Scott Bryan.

    2 stars as if there’s a guest host, it’s worth listening to.

  • Naga not needed

    I do enjoy listening to Naga but I wish she’d leave the reviews to Hayley and Scott, it would flow so much better. She adds nothing other than to bulldoze everything based on her often ill informed opinion. I want to listen to the experts not naga bullying everyone as if hers is the only opinion that matters.

  • A Great Guide to What's On

    Long-time listener of Hayley and Scott's wonderful review of what to watch and what not to watch on UK TV each week. From Hayley's constant advocacy for the criminally underwatched MR INBETWEEN to Scott's controversial choice of moment of the year being an Olympic ceremony performance from Celine Dion, this has replaced that void that Andrew Collins' departure from the Guardian created. Very, very good.

It followed this idea for quite a while, but it was kind of lacking, you know, often a sinister element to Wallace and Gromit films, which seems to really be important.
