Reception

The show received mixed reviews from critics, with the Telegraph commenting that the show had had "teething troubles", stating that technical glitches and badly angled cameras affected the show's professionalism. The Telegraph only gave the show 2/5 stars, but stated that it had room for improvement, and did praise the hosts for their "genuine friendship and natural rapport on-screen".[6]
