Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway

Surely we've seen enough of these 2 people? Same old jokes, no ideas. I'd have thought Ant would prefer to be down the pub....

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.

When it's Saturday night and you're wanting something good to watch and all the TV shows that feel they've been on for centuries are dragging along then keep watching for this! A wonderful, entertaining series with two presenters that quite a lot of people have grown up with. The two Geordie lads are very funny and give the show that extra sparkle. The idea of being able to 'grab the ads' that you've seen is original and throw in a few other extra tidbits like 'what's next?' and 'Jim didn't fix it for me' and you've got a good hour long series that makes you wish it was on everyday. Now as a 15 year old I'm trying hard not to point out that Dec is very hot and that is a very appealing 'must-watch' thing but it's true, and he can't get away without a mention so there it is lol. Overall the show is a great family show, suitable for all really, very entertaining, very funny with two fantastic presenters. Yay!! Don't miss it!

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!

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.
