  • 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.

  • Love it

    This show is great. I just wish Naga would shut up. She should host the show and let the experts speak more.

  • 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

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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Must Watch

What is Must Watch about and what kind of topics does it cover?

A lively, discussion-rich rotation of recent TV offerings, with three regulars weighing in on a crime drama revival, a lighthearted insurance-fraud sitcom, and a contemporary romance/politics-set drama.
