The Friday/Sunday Night Project

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

This is one of the best shows to watch on a Friday night. The first series had the brilliant Jimmy Carr, the great Rob Rouse, the okay Sharon Horgan and Lucy Montgomery with "celebrity spotting". The last few series though has seen the brilliant Justin Lee Collins and the great Alan Carr, and for a while Debra Stephenson, a brief Celebrity Big Brother's Chantelle "celebrity spotting" and getting the word from the public. Every week they do the same similar things, a day out with the guest, a spoof news show, a quick quiz with all questions being about the host, a public stitch up, the audience asking anything they want, and a final game to win some prizes for an audience member, the only change is the guest host.
