Jon Richardson Grows Up

Sounds fun . . . I loved the banter between the two of them on 6music back before it became all serious and about the listning figures . . .

Yes I am also very much looking forward to this. From the trailers, it does look good but I am a fan of Richardson anyway, I went to see him live in May and he was great. Cannot believe it is not been classed as a comedy on here! I mean in the trailers, Jon appears to be doing some stand up segments in the show.

It was me who selected the classification as I couldn't see where else it fit, and I thought "Other" would have to do as it isn't a sitcom or a panel show or a sketch show . . . unless a mod thinks better of where to put it . . .

I will also be watching it as a friend* of mine is apparently featuring in episode two. I also enjoy Matt Forde's forays into The Frank Skinner Show.

*He exists, but like most things in the digital age, I haven't seen him in person for years now.

Between the two of them? Who with?

Really enjoyed this, I definitely think Matt Forde could become a breakout star from this as he seems to be a complete natural in front of the camera, very charismatic, engaging and great at bringing out the best of anyone else around him.

Jon is, obviously, very funny and brilliant in his own way but I genuinely think a savvy TV company should sign Matt up and look into some suitable formats for him.

Agree with all of the above. I also enjoyed it very much too. I think this should definitely be listed here on BCG, it has got stand up segments in it! Surely it would fit in the "Factual" or "other" bracket on here!
