Easy like Sunday Evening


‘The Sunday Night Show’ (ITV) is, shock horror, surprisingly good. ITV has produced a ton of rubbish over the last few years. Since the breaking up of the franchise, it has nearly always chased ratings over quality. So what does ‘thetvreviewguy’ like about ‘The Sunday Night Show’? Adrian Chiles, Brummie Everyman, chairs a panel for a half hour of chat looking back on the week. There are ultra quick ‘celebrity’ interviews (uhm ‘Coronation Street’s Ken Barlow and charlatan health doctor – she of the fake MD – Gillian McKeith were on last Sunday). There’s still some unfortunate ‘and now for something completely different’ links from trying a break a silly world record to the Egyptian revolt.  Chiles, however, is perfect in the role; he has a lightness of touch and proves he’s no dummy when it comes to current affairs. And it has a great slot; 10pm on a Sunday night is usually when ‘the fear’ of the working week hits home. This show lightens your mood and allows you to put of the inevitable ensuing depression that comes when the thought of re-boarding the day ship enters the mind. Give yourself a well earned break and go with ‘thetvreviewguy’s recommendation to tune into ‘The Sunday Night Show’.
