Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway

I think Ant and Dec did the right thing resting this show for a few years. Towards the end of it's first long run (around 2009) things were getting a bit stale and the items on the show a bit dull (escape from Takeaway prison being a low point). You can have too much of a good thing and I think the show and perhaps all involved needed to go on to other things.

However, fast forward to 2013 and the show was back with a new energy, new bits of fun and games and it was like welcoming back an old friend. Ant and Dec won awards, scored a number one record and all was well.

This latest series (2014) hasn't been quite as good but the standard remains very high. Long may it continue.

Ant and Dec have created another SM:TV Live for evenings! Good competitions, guests (well, debatable when they get people from Reborn in the USA, Coronation street and other ITV programmes) and bits of shows. Great evening TV does it again!

Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway is just one of the many rubbish and childish shows that have been on over the years on Saturday nights. This should be on late afternoons or in the mornings with the children's' programmes because that it what is seems like.

The show usually includes Ant and Dec showing off, a prank on a celebrity which includes them dressing up which makes them look stupid and young Ant and Dec interviewing a celebrity (more showing off).

Despite all this, this show is quite popular and has even won awards. Certainly not family viewing, for younger children only.

I find this show very childish at times.

This was one of the most entertaining shows that I saw while I was in England. Every Saturday my roommates and I couldn't wait for "Ant and Dec" to come on. Other than Banzai this was by far my most favorite show to watch in England. I only wish it could be shown in the states.

The first show was terrific, the second was worryingly annoying. Slapping faces and running around the stage dates back to Marcombe & Wise. Trying to watch Rag & Bone man was frustrating as ant and dec jumped around like children. The whole fake looking for the connection lead for the rainbow laser was pathetic. Stick to what you do best, giving away great prizes to people who deserve it at this awful time in people's lives.
