“Sometimes amusing but I’m not sure how much the presenters actually ‘obsess’ over the show. Almost every scene they recap is subjected to a sideways glance and desperately wrung for laughs whether there’s humour to be mined or not, and much of the analysis and discussion seems to originate from a quick bit of Twitter research.
This week’s episode included a painful 2 minutes of conversation between presenters who couldn’t remember/hasn’t noticed whether Hastings was being billed for or being handed £100k. (There’s not much difference.) A previous episode had one presenter confused over whether whether Maneet was the character’s first name or surname.
It’s bizarre to me that this is a BBC podcast. If the title of the show is “Obsessed with...” it should be a minimum requirement to hire presenters who actually watch the show rather than reading other people’s theories about it.”
