Just read that Banter (a show about top three items) is having a pilot made. Didn't they just make a pilot called And The Winner Is... (a show about top three items)?
Banter (TV pilot)
And the Winner Is (aka The Matt Lucas Awards) never enticed me to be a regular listener, but I did not think it was about panelists making top three lists. Just nominating something to fit a category from which Lucas would deem one the winner.
I used to like Banter but would rather hear it back on the radio though as I do not see anything extra being gained by being on TV. I also liked Collins and Herring on the show. Also the TV version having teams - who banters in teams? - and Russell Howard as a regular automatically turns me against it.
Hurray for Rebecca Front though. I like her, and it is nice to finally have a female TV panel show host.
Yes, there are plenty of shows around at the moment that devise lists and bests in some way or another, but The Matt Lucas Awards only chose one winner, not a whole list.
And I agree with the above, nice to have a female host. I hope it works out.
