I liked it.

Highlights were Sabine and Matt. Sabine's completely brilliant and should be a heavy part of the show, co-presenter, I think. Matt delivered strongly, and nailed his lines completely, really bringing character and humour in to things.

However it was disjointed, and I think that's because they've clearly kept enough of the writers on (or the feel if they don't have them) from the old show. This doesn't fit with Evans. I think Evans works best without a script, and it seemed like he had one here, he felt too stilted and forced. Give him creative control, and let him freewheel it, there's a reason why he can be electric on screen ... let him be.

Let the show evolve, because it was more of the same, and it could do with a shake-up.

Get Sabine on full time, people!
