    Was it me or was the show a complete a complete mess yesterday.

    We had all sorts of odd cameraman angles, long uncomfortable pauses during the Eubank slot (who said f*ck all about Reg Gutteridge).

    And lets not forget that annoying cringeworthy bell that kept ringing !!

    The format was dreadful.

    Bunce did his best to keep it all gelled together, but it was a mess.

    Very poor camera work is the key issue! The angles, shot positioning is horrid.
    It can make the audience feel uncomfortable at times, for eg the wide angle shot of bunce, Eubank, Booth and Price (who was not introduced yet) was silly.

    Get a grip people

    It's cult viewing, **** ups and all

    Don't start putting a downer on it

    With boxers and boxing people it will always be a bit chaotic

    As far camera work, who gives a ****?

    I havent seen this episode yet. It's on the sky+ for the weekend. Not looking forward to it now though! A bit gutted that Tommy Morrison is getting a pasting too, he was the person I was looking forward to hearing from the most on this show. Eubank has done a million and one interviews so I dont think I'd hear anything I havent heard before from him, but the The Duke... havent seen him in a while!!!

    Obviously I'll still be watching it like. Its the flagship boxing programme on TV at the moment!

    Don't see the problem myself.

    Part of the show's appeal is that there is no strict and repetitive formula and Chris Eubank is always great to listen to.

    People on here need to brighten up and be grateful because without this weekly show what else is there?

    Keep up the great work Buncey! :good
     
  7. I totally agree. I think the overall slightly amateurish feel to show is what makes it more appealing.

    Exactly, plus Eubank's pausing was not that bad - better for him to think about what he is going to say before he does.

    It's part of what makes him fascinating to listen to in my opinion.

    I could listen to Eubank all day.

    I enjoyed it. Who gives a **** about camera angles?

    I like Eubank and enjoy to hear what he has to say. Especially when him and Booth were talking, it sounded like an eighteenth century **** up.

    Eubank was refreshing - he compared Reg to Barack. Please tell me where on TV that could ever happen? That was a classic.
    Wayne was on because he had challenged Bernard. I made a mistake by letting the two share a line - it was a bad choice by me. I'm sorry about. I have never let people share lines before. I take the blame for that.
    Tommy Morrison's story is worth listening to again and again.
    Kell's cameo was short but I like him so it is better to have him on than not have him on.
    I've not watched the show so I have no idea about the camera angles - I do know that they make me look like a fat *******o each and every week!

    Adios.
