Channel Hopping with Jon Richardson

Easy watching, light hearted and mocks english tv as much as the rest of the world. ignore the miserable reviews!

To sum this up it is nothing but a modern rehash of those cheap television shows trying to mock adverts and television from all over the world. Denis Norden and Jasper Carrott did the same but luckily without a hopelessly unfunny host and an equally dire guests. All three laugh at each other's lame jokes.

Don't bother with this trash an hop to a better channel.

I'm a fan of Jon Richardson in many of his other programmes, but this is truly dire. Clive James did the laughing-at-funny-foreigners shtick years ago, and at least when he did it it was a somewhat fresh idea - and in those pre-internet days, we didn't have many other chances to see non-English television. Regardless, the script for this show is painfully unfunny, the repartee between the guests is tedious and pointless (why even have guests for what is basically just a clip show?), and at an hour long, it feels like it drags on for ever. Not the absolute worst show I've ever seen, but still, bottom-of-the-barrel stuff.

The guests have very little charisma and this makes it awkward to watch. It's just showing low quality clips from 10 years ago. It's a shame since John Richardson deserves better than this.
