I saw a bit last week before I left the house, to be honest Aimee I thought the BBC were scraping the bottom of the barrel with this one.
It is scraping the barrel but it made me laugh and it gives the z listers a job 
Yes, I like Frank Skinner, Micky Flanagan and Jamelia. They are all routine guests on comedy panel shows. But they are nearly always good guests, IMO. It has its moments but is a bit cheesy. Looking at Micky Flanagan at the start of the show, he did look somewhat embarrassed to be there and I can't help thinking that Gabby dancing around doesn't quite suit her. It's ok though, quite amusing in parts and made me tune in at a time of the week I usually avoid like the plague due to it usually being filled with endless talent shows and singing/dancing/cookery rubbish.
I expect it will prove to be a ratings disaster and normal service of singing/dancing/cookery shows will be resumed.
Oh I thought you were declaring your feelings lol
I haven't seen it, but I do love our country. Especially the countryside!

I doubt there is too much countryside at the North Pole 
Lol EC, the reindeer have beautiful forests to roam around in
BBC seem to have given up on Saturday nights.
Well said!

The dancing by Gabby is cringey
I think that once this series of I Love my Country has finished the BBC will replace it with Atlantis the new drama which is the replacement to Merlin. Probably will start either late September or early October. A teaser trailer which just shows the title has been shown in the last couple of days and more is to come.
It's a 13 part series based on Greek legends.
Robert Emms plays Pythagoras, Jack Donnelly plays Jason, and Mark Addy plays Hercules.

I have a theory about Pythagoras...
It's ok, but there are a few bits wrong with it for me, i.e. Gabby needs to stop saying: let's have a liddle look. Frank Skinner needs to be replaced by Michael MacIntyre which would take care of Jamelia's bias towards Skinner and a little less script. It's not really funny when you can guess the autocue bits. Apart from that...

Adding MacIntyre is sinking to a whole new level - I hate that wannabe comedian.
But each to their own Cologne
