Trevor's World of Sport appeared in it's new improved post news timeslot last night (apparently because it wasn't available to view for the key AB Men demographic). Fine as far as goes, because the laughtrack free comedy is probably not right for Friday evenings, even if does star Neil Pearson. It's just a shame that by the end of the inevitably over-running news, local news and weather, that it starts at about 10:40, meaning that it crashes over the start of Grass on BBC Three. Now quite why 11.00pm is thought to be a good time to run this programme with a spin-off Fast Show character is anyone's guess. There are a liberal number of "fucks" strewn about, but 11.00 is still not quite right. 10.00pm would be better (can't be done - that's Eastenders time), or even 9.30... on BBC2... in place of the risible Two Pints of Lager.
In the meantime, Hallmark are showing The Agency stripped across the week at 10.00pm. When it was launched on Friday, I thought that they might go for a weekly slot, however they're going to burn through the 44 episodes in nine weeks this way. Last night's episode, God's Work, was quite week I thought.
