It is quite a strange show
His comments about TV/Radio being ruined by middle management seem spot on (I love his line about people who have talked themselves into a job and think that meetings are work), but then his digs at fellow presenters seems unfair and just as poor mannered as the management he is complaining about.

It's a good point, Monkeon.
I think it was the rawness and lack of time to think it through that made the show a car crash winner.You have to remember that he had no time to plan what he was going to say.And his previous shows have always been finely prepared.But yes, it probably was a bit much to dig at fellow presenters.Garry Crowley filled the slot yesterday and was very supportive and vocal about what has happened.
Also, everyone from Stephen Fry to Gary Lineker has voiced their disdain at the myopic decision to axe this show.
