Nick Grimshaw

Its first run earlier this year performed relatively sluggishly. But the BBC have a lot invested in Nick Grimshaw - they'll be hoping for slightly more from this returning panel show. But maybe the format is the problem. There are just so many panel show and so little distinguishing them from each other. Maybe commissioners need to think about an altogether new delivery mechanism for their talent.

Grimshaw's a likeable enough character and he'll be rejoined by Rochell Humes and Melvin O'Doom for this survey of life's small irritations. But much like the subject matter, there's just something inessential about this scenario.

In the old days, panel shows used to be about specific subjects. News, music, sport, politics, TV. What has Grimmy been left with? Stuff. Thanks, BBC Three.

Joining Grimmy on this beige TV adventure are the pregnant one from The Saturdays and famous-in-their-own-bathrooms DJ duo Rickie and Melvin. As you can imagine it's wall-to-wall laughs. If you're a sadist.

The BBC's answer to the bafflingly successful Celebrity Juice, the show ditches all the crude Keith Lemon boobs and spunk gags and replaces them with 30 minutes of meandering middle-of-the-road drivel. The TV equivalent of the Magic FM playlist.

It felt like watching seven people sat in a room, rambling on, hoping that by chance they might stumble upon an idea for a TV show. Sadly for us, this gang are more lost than a good idea in the BBC Three offices.

The pregnant one from The Saturdays shaving a man's chest hair, inane 'banter' about sending naked pictures on Snap Chat, Ricky or Melvin (I don't know which and I don't care) trying to get a man in a gym to rub Deep Heat on his groin. And those were the highlights.

Nick Grimshaw deserves better and so do we.

Perkily tonsured Radio 1 Breakfast Show host Nick Grimshaw is a busy man these days. Not content with getting up at stupid o'clock every morning to drag the nation's youngsters out of their beds, he's also undertaking this new project. It's filming close to transmission so no preview material was available. But what we're dealing with is, essentially, a new panel show.

Every week, Grimshaw will be joined by Kiss FM DJs and team captains Rickie and Melvin, and regular guest Rochelle Humes from The Saturdays. They'll be exploring pet hates and irrational personal obsessions - in other words, the smallest issues of the day. We suspect this could go either way. Grimshaw's a likeable chap, but there are so many panel shows these days that a new one is going to struggle to really distinguish itself.

Life's daily dilemmas are in the spotlight in a new panel show presented by Radio 1's Nick Grimshaw. "We discuss little worries that take over your life," he explains. "Like whether to accept your mother on Facebook, or can I be drunk at a family function, or go to a Justin Bieber concert as an adult male and legitimately enjoy it?" Episodes are being recorded close to transmission, but we're promised quick-witted silliness from Grimshaw and his team captains Rickie and Melvin from Kiss FM and Rochelle Humes of the Saturdays.

Radio 1's effortlessly hip and ­hilarious Nick Grimshaw is the perfect host for this new comedy panel show, which will thrash out those trivial everyday niggles, pet hates and dilemmas that get obsessed over by people lucky enough not to have any real ­problems to sweat over.

Grimmy is joined by team captains Rickie and Melvin from Kiss FM and Rochelle from The Saturdays. With so many comedy panel shows on TV this one might struggle to make its mark, but expect lots of chat about social media. And hair.

Nick Grimshaw interview

Radio 1 breakfast host Nick Grimshaw has revealed the station originally rejected him after he applied for work experience as a youngster.

Sweat the Small Stuff: have panel shows had their day?

Cheap, formulaic, blokey banter is near impossible to miss on primetime weekend TV. Good luck to Nick Grimshaw and his new BBC3 panel show in reviving a very, very tired format ..

Sponsored innuendo, anyone? Graham Norton hosts seven hours of celebrity chat to raise money for Comic Relief. He's gunning for the Guinness world record for most questions asked on a TV chatshow, and Keith Lemon, Sarah Millican and Russell Tovey are among the stars queuing up to answer them. Terry Wogan and Nick Grimshaw are ready to take the hot seat once Norton runs out of chat (unlikely) and to give viewers a break from his lovable face. With music from Example, Hurts and Laura Mvula.

Graham Norton will be prattling on (or, to be strictly accurate, on and on and on and on and on and on and on...) in a Comic Relief fundraiser tonight on BBC Three[/]. Yep, another one.

Comic Relief's Big Chat With Graham Norton will kick off at 7pm, and unless the whole thing goes tits-up and he develops laryngitis or something, it'll continue into he early hours - by which point, and here's the thing, our host hopes to have smashed the world record for the most questions asked on a TV chat show.

Among his many guests will be Martin Freeman, Sarah Millican and Louis Smith, with the likes of Frank Skinner and Nick Grimshaw doing co-host stints.
