Radio Times review

Time for another series of competitive griping about things people hate. This series always flirts with a sort of generalised curmudgeonliness while, naturally, trying to keep it light. But it does help when the bellyaches are slightly mad. Tim Vine loses the audience with a rambling moan about a certain kind of karaoke DJ, whereas Len Goodman simply slags off "all foreign food".

It turns out Len has never had a curry - or eaten spaghetti! His motto is, "Never eat anything you can't spell." And if you think that's sweeping, his other bĂȘtes noires are the metric system and, quite simply, choice. "Have you ever thought," wonders host Frank Skinner, "of moving to North Korea?"
