The studio has gone, Evans isn't as ginger and it isn't the 90's anymore!
Will be watching it like.

(12 Jun 2015, 8:03 pm)aureolin Looks pretty similar to me! It feels mad to be watching it again actually.
(12 Jun 2015, 11:16 pm)Jimmi Did anyone actually watch TFI Friday earlier?
Thought it was okay but nothing special for about the first half of the show but it got boring towards the end especially when Lewis Hamilton came on and they started talking about his meetings and what colour his doors where for about the last 45 minutes, yawn!
(13 Jun 2015, 7:02 am)MurdnunoC For me, it filled an hour between getting home from college and going out on a Friday night back in the 90s. I enjoyed some bits, disliked others and was indifferent to the rest of the filling in-between. I don't recall being overly disappointed when it kicked off the air first time round, in fact, I don't even remember it being kicked off the air to be honest. Without specifically looking it up I couldn't tell you when either.
When I watched the show last night I drew the exact same conclusions. Some it was good, some of it not so good, while other bits were just 'meh'. They showed many highlights from its initial run - I remembered very few. I guess, much like what people claim about the 60s, if you are able to remember loads of stuff from an early evening light-entertainment show during the 90s then you really weren't there.
I thought Roger Daltrey completely upstaged Liam Gallagher during their duet performance of 'My Generation' - perhaps not surprisingly - but, in my opinion, Liam's performance was particularly woeful as he first, tried to do the track in his usual style (which didn't work) then attempted to mimic Daltrey himself. Really Bad. Blur's performance was nothing to write home about too but there was, at least, a reason for that. I enjoyed Beatbox Collective and Rudimental. The other band featuring that Justin Timberlake sounding Eminem lookalike as lead vocalist really bored and irrated me.
Most of the segments were passable but none really stood out. I vaguely remembered some features but there were others which struck no chord with me. Like Jimmi, I also found the Lewis Hamilton interview rather boring. I enjoyed the rapid interview feature though.
On another note, I'm really looking forward to This Is England '90. Can't wait.

(13 Jun 2015, 6:35 pm)aureolin I was really impressed by TFI Friday, and I think it showed that there's still an appetite for it.I think it would be alright if it came back as a regular show providing they don't get Lewis Hamilton or anybody else who is interested in cars as from what I saw online after the programme last night many people found when Lewis Hamilton appeared it was considered to be boring from the reaction I saw online and I have to agree.

(13 Jun 2015, 9:12 pm)aureolin I've not seen much about it. Had a quick Google and it looks to be a mini-series on the 90s rave scene? Should be good crack if that's the case.
(13 Jun 2015, 10:15 pm)LeeCalder Can anyone remember the series called 'Come Fly With Me' which was basically a mockumentary made by David Walliams and Matt Lucas. I heard someone mention it earlier and I just remembered how good it was!

(13 Jun 2015, 10:19 pm)LeeCalder Your thinking of the actual documentary called 'Come Fly With Me', this Come Fly With Me was basically mocking the other and it was hilarious.
