But I wasn’t so keen on this Nikita and Lily Allen episode. Nikita seemed full of her own importance and I can’t remember anything she’s presented. I’m sure she must be good but she has a terrible potty mouth.

Really enjoy the interviews - Joanna Lumley, Stephen Fry, etc …. So familiar and comforting.

Don’t see the point of them reviewing any tv shows as the discussion is so limited.

I did try to like it and it may be the younger generation are more invested. Thought it was boring and predictable.

Great and different format . Kelly Anne Taylor has researched her guests so extensively , she surprises them , builds strong relationships and thereby achieves friendly discussions with superb insights . Careful though. Becomes addictive !

Kelly Anne and her colleague (Caroline) are a pleasure to listen to as they offer a comprehensive guide to what may be a good watch and why. I very much enjoyed Kelly Anne’s excellent interview with Bryan Cranston Thank you.

I’ve been listening to this podcast since it was View From my Sofa and it just keeps getting better. This series has had the greats of the TV and film industry from Emma Thompson to Bryan Cranston. My favourite from this series has been Sara Pascoe and Penn Badgley

Just doesn’t work anymore, shame as was so good

The new series of Radio Times Podcast (previously view from my sofa) is wonderful. Dame Emma Thompson was on the show and it was a real treat! Didn’t know anything about Bryan Cranston but he came across as a wonderful man. Love this podcast. The host is brilliant - great questions, lots of...Read full review »

Shadow of its former self. Now Dave has left, it’s dreadful. Slow, slightly snobby, and not well rounded. If it’s to carry on, include linear and streaming tv, dramas, comedies, entertainment and docs. Get rid of Kelly Anne’s script. I started listening to this podcast for the TV reviews....Read full review »

The new presenter’s voice was not made for radio. Generally a useful podcast to listen to for ideas on what to watch.
Praiseredacted via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/28/23
Absolutely love this podcast… Short and to the point, and covers a wide range of viewing preferences. One tiny suggestion would be - after discussing each program, perhaps just re-iterate what the program was where to find it. I sometimes find I’ve listened to a description of a program and...Read full review »

Yes I miss David Butcher - his insightful and wide ranging view on UK TV was a great Friday listen. I was fully prepared to give the new presenter a listen and kept my fingers crossed. Getting cramp in my fingers now….seems this is has morphed into a loose women knock off with two presenters...Read full review »

I miss David Butcher.
shells114 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/06/23
This podcast has gone really downhill since Jane and Rhiannon. We were told they were taking a summer break, but no word on when or if ever they will be back. Instead we get “view from my sofa”, a mind numbing, cringe of what someone sees from their sofa. I don’t listen anymore and if Jane and...Read full review »

David Butcher is great on the Friday edition. I just wish it was longer though. 15 minutes just isn’t enough time to do justice to the shows he recommends. Runs a close second to the Pilot TV Podcast (usually around 90 mins long!)
BellaWillow468 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/02/22
The Friday edition of this podcast with TV recommendations is excellent - very informative, concise and reliable. I’ve enjoyed some great shows that I may otherwise have not know about had it not been for this podcast.
Marge1234567 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/18/22
Absolutely love the smart TV episodes. Love the way the host delivers a no nonsense round up of what to watch that week on tv. Miss Jane Garvey on the in depth episodes of what to watch that reviewed tv and films. Hope it comes back.

Really enjoying these extended takes of the View from Sofa article…learning a lot about the big stars. The host Carrie-Anne very eloquent and gets the famous people to say interesting things. Big thumbs up from me.
Derek the sheep via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/02/22
Loving the new pod, really fun and interesting interviews. The interviewer has such an amazing voice, keep them coming!
Hhunter123 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/01/22
I’ve been listening to this podcast for the last year and I must say that this fresh new approach to it is brilliant. Kelly-Anne has such an inviting voice which makes you feel you are sitting right there with her and the interviewee. Easy to listen to wherever you are and always a few laughs....Read full review »

This was absolutely delicious to listen to! Please more Kelly-Anne!
jocoque33 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/30/22
I adore this podcast! Kelly-Anne is an amazing host who has the ability to meld the personal and professional lives of her guests in a flawless and interesting manner. The range of guests is both inspiring and educational and I can’t wait for Tuesday to listen to the next episode!
f24sz via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/29/22
Kelly Anne has a wonderfully fresh approach and a subtle way of encouraging her participants to open up.
Discernment47 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/28/22
I love this podcast!!! It has so many interesting guests already - loved the Stephen Fry episode. The interviewer Kelly-Anne has such a great style of questioning and allows room for the guest to open up about their lives through the lens of tv. Such a soothing voice, could listen all day
kje£3000 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/27/22
I love the View From My Sofa podcast. The guests are great, you get an insight into their lives and careers AND you get to reminisce over tv you haven’t watched in yonks. And the host is brilliant - good questions and engaging
jonesmatt3 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/27/22
Absolutely loving this new series, the lineup so far has been phenomenal and so many interesting stories. I really enjoy the more in-depth approach, it’s like having a whole new Desert Island Discs to listen too, what a find!!! More of Kerry-Anne Taylor please. FIVE STARS.
WGCJohnny via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/27/22
This is a wonderful podcast for all TV junkies like me. So far I listened to Louis Theroux and the wonderful Stephen Fry. It was utter joy and I was tickled pink to have the same favourite series, that are my happy places, as Stephen Fry. I fully intent to listen to all episodes past and so...Read full review »

Loved the old version. I sort of enjoy the quick one on a Friday with david. Can’t listen to the new one, dreadful, the presenter has such a dull voice can’t get past it. It’s a shame it’s been messed with.
Adbrog via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/18/22
This used to be interesting. But now we just swap between two boring presenters, neither of whom have any light or shade to their voices or delivery. Not helped by two guests who are both incredibly flat-toned. I shall soon be unsubscribing if things don’t improve rapidly.
SoloJazzy via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/11/22
This podcast needs to make up its mind as to what it is. The longer version was ok but I really liked the conciseness of the Smart TV version. Now we have a new version from the sofa. Stick with the short, to the point one.
Scubadog1 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/06/22
Thoroughly entertaining! Can we have Hammond and Clarkson on next?
paul fbt via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/05/22
Nope. Not liking this update. We used to have Jane and then it’s all gone slightly strange. Not for me anymore. I have zero interest in James Mays sofa….
Melons999 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/05/22
Please bring this podcast back. I really enjoyed it, to the point of recently resorting to going back and listening to earlier weeks! I must be mad as there really is no point in doing that as the programs are over! At least, can we have an update on the situation, are you continuing with it, or...Read full review »
Listenertwo via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/27/22
When presented by Jane and Rhianna. Neither will acknowledge tweets asking about when it will come back. It’s been weeks so I am also unsubscribing! BBC’s Must Watch will have to do.
Remix82 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/20/22
Love this podcast, so when will Jane and Rihanna be back? They said they were taking a short break, so surely must be back soon?
TubaPeter via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/04/22
I used to enjoy this podcast but not the “Smart” version. It doesn’t seem smart to me to listen to this boring bloke and his opinions, so I won’t be doing so anymore. Bye bye RT 👋🏻
Ezmarellda via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/14/22
I like this podcast but recently we have only had the bite size TV guide and no sign of the longer pod that used to alternate, have I missed something?
Cossie93 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/30/22
Great combination of presenters, a very easy and entertaining listen!
Juliet Harris via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/24/22
Really enjoy this podcast, chit chat about tv. However, I’m enjoying even more the shorter bite sized version with David Butcher. Great voice, enjoyable reviews and recommendations - thank you David.
Lscrs via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/10/22
Recently found this podcast and have binge listened through the back catalogue up to date. Really enjoy the banter between the hosts and their sometimes differing opinions on the programmes they review.
ecdurley via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/04/22
Love the banter and jovial tone of this podcast - a brilliant duo!
XMirrorrorriMX via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/29/22
I normally love this podcast as the views of Jane and Rihanna give a lovely balance of views, but this week is awful, Rihanna and Kelly-Ann are just agreeing with each other which kind of misses the point. Will be giving it a miss unless Jane is there.
mnbvcxzqwerasdf via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/13/22
Omg is this guy in the podcast extra actually MANSPLAINING to us what the main ladies already said and contradicting their opinions?!! Please never do this again. How rude and disrespectful to the women we come here to hear
