  • Great Critics, Mid Host

    I love hearing the thoughtful and often humorous reviews from Scott & Hayley, they always inform me what to prioritise in my television viewing life! The host, Naga, really spoils it though. I almost wish she didn’t watch the shows and just left it to Scott & Hayley. Most of the time she’s fallen asleep while trying to watch a show so there’s no real point to her even trying to review the shows anyway!

  • Naga has ruined it

    I can’t get over how nasty Naga is with her opinions! She’ll watch like one or one and half episodes and then be so scathing about a TV show she hasn’t really watched. Also she is so horrible to Haley! I can’t listen anymore because it’s so unpleasant to listen to someone basically being bullied

  • I miss Nihal

    This used to be a great tv review show but it’s now become the Naga show and I’m sick of it. We barely hear from Haley and Scott and despite her blathering on, Naga’s never actually watched the shows anyway! It’s so frustrating. Also the constant passive aggressive picking on especially Haley but now even Scott is not funny, ever. Get Nihal back please!!!

  • Must listen

    Essential listening for the contemporary parent - allows me to beguile each of my kids into watching something I know will suit them according to Hayley, Scott or Naga’s opinion

  • Please find a better host

    This show has consistently suffered from a terrible host that is more interested in fighting their own corner and telling uninteresting personal tales than listening to the reviewers. Having a replacement host is a blessed relief.

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.
