Big Top Page 13

Overnight rating were 3.3 million. Up against Emmerdale.

The same night Waterloo Road only got 3.8 million and Spooks got it's lowest ever audience of 3.9.

So overall not a great start but kept up with the other BBC1 shows that night.

I think that says it all.

Not really lols. The whole of BBC1 was down on ratings last night anyway.

Oh hell why am I sticking up for it? Oh no I've been brainwashed.

Could have potential if given a rewrite.

This is true of every show though, isn't it?

Some shows don't need it in the first place though. This clearly does. :)

Agreed. I meant every poor show. :)

I didnt think it was that bad myself. I would rather watch Big Top than for example, Absolutely Fabulous.

Quite.

I think she should stop doing Britain's Got Talent, etc then, because it kind of detracts when watching her on-screen.

Not a problem if you don't watch such televisual excretion as Britain's Got Talent.

Now about Tim Robinson, that's bad acting!
He's still being Baldrick!!!
Years by the side of the best comedians of the century and he has learnt nothing! Must have some uncle at the BBC.

Worst bunch of reviews I think I have ever seen for a first show.

Tony Robinson is a fine actor. He was one of the best things about this show.
