The welsh thing was irritating :(

Bless her though :wub:

I thought it was mostly good, the speed dating had a girl from the suburb of Bristol I grew up in :lol: The Wales against the world bit was awful, but generally, I enjoyed it.

 

I thought she did well singing with the Feeling ^_^

I just found out it was filmed in London and not Cardiff haha...

Yes, and it was filmed on Thursday as well!

I thought it was dire. It was so obviously rehearsed. Natural around the camera?! Methinks not. -_-

 

I won't be watching again.

Urm, she was confident, she didn't have to think of what to say, she didn't stutter over what she was saying, she was funny...she had EVERYTHING. She was a natural.

 

I loved it when she started to sing with The Feeling! :wub:

i like her.... i think she did well and has done before (like guest hosting on 'have i got news for you'). it was a good show.

Urm, she was confident, she didn't have to think of what to say, she didn't stutter over what she was saying, she was funny...she had EVERYTHING. She was a natural.

 

I loved it when she started to sing with The Feeling! :wub:

That's what I thought exactly :D Minus the point about The Feeling, she murdered it -_-

She is so much better then Sharon Ozbourne, I was really disapointed with her show. Sharon is wooden and she isn't herself at all, most of the time she's just reading it all of a screen.

But Charlotte is natural and very laid back with her show :wub:

SO true.

First viewing of Charlotte Church Show makes even Davina look good

By Fiona Sturges

Published: 02 September 2006

“The First Lady of Friday night†was how last night’s continuity announcer chose to introduce Charlotte Church, the Welsh diva with the voice of an angel and a mouth like a sewer. This seemed somewhat premature, given that the jury was still out and no one - not even reviewers - had seen more than a brief trailer of the debacle that was to come.

 

Of course, giving La Church her own television chat show was always going to be something of a risk - she is famous for being a loose cannon, after all - but giving her the 10 o’clock slot on Friday night, watched by people too sensible, too old or too knackered to go out for the evening, seemed positively foolish.

 

Still, for TV executives and Heat-seeking celebrity junkies, Church is a dream come true, loudly mouthing off against her fellow celebrities - one imagines Victoria Beckham and Cheryl Tweedy aren’t at the top of the guest list - and proclaiming her love of smoking and drinking. Despite the endless column inches archly contemplating her explosive temper, her bank balance, her social life, her boyfriends and her clothes size, her popularity has continued to grow, the general consensus apparently being that, despite existing in a vapid bubble of publicity, she’s probably a decent, down-to-earth girl. Hence the prime-time slot.

 

In the event, it’s probably safe to assume that Parky won't be losing any sleep. It’s possible that BBC commissioners might even re-think their harsh treatment of Davina McCall after her ratings-killing but generally adequate chat show. The problem was less with Church herself than the format. Coming at us like a cross between So Graham Norton, the Catherine Tate Show and Candid Camera, the show hop-scotched between sketches, film clips, sight gags, sofa chat and lame games designed to big up the Welsh and make celebrities look stupid.

 

Then there were the guests - Denise Van Outen, Will & Grace’s Eric McCormack and Michael McIntyre (me neither). Not exactly A-list, though that didn’t stop Church from assigning them specific duties, quite possibly because she’d lost the will to do the job herself.

 

While McIntyre - a comic, as it turned out - was required to leaf through paparazzi photos of David Beckham, Jack Nicholson and Gerard Depardieu with his tackle out and offer his own supposedly hilarious commentary, Denise Van Outen was asked to identify pictures of celebrities as children. “I enjoyed thatâ€, she mumbled through a glazed smile at the end. But this was nothing next to the indignity suffered by poor Eric MacCormack, forced to star with Church in Hywl and Grwys, a painfully unfunny Welsh version of Will & Grace set in a mining village.

 

Elsewhere, Charlotte could be found swearing a lot, dishing the dirt on Britney Spears and sending up Heather Mills in yet another toe-curling sketch (that guest list is looking thinner by the second).

 

The point to all this was presumably to show what a fun, party-loving, devil-may-care lass our Charlotte is. The reality, however, was to watch a talented singer’s career being demolished in 50 short minutes. No wonder she didn’t wave us goodbye.

Ooops!

I love how that article's headline is about the figures, but in the article it doesn't actually mention a figure anywhere and is just full of criticisms!

I really enjoyed this, it was SO funny, her expression when that naked fat French bloke was up on the screen was pure genius! :lol:

Of course people are going to slate her. B)

But I will always love her :wub:

I did think she gave the guests FAR too much to do though but just giving people a chance to see who she really is was great :wub:

I too loved that part and she couldn't bring herself to say 'c**k' or anything yet she swears like mad from the openeing second :rofl:

 

I must have that theme tune :wub:

i'd rather watch sharon osbourne! :D

I thought it was dire. It was so obviously rehearsed. Natural around the camera?! Methinks not. -_-

 

I won't be watching again.

 

Ditto. She is funny when she's unscripted and having a b**ch but she lost all that when they gave her some crappy script. And the Welsh thing was annoying.

She reminds me intensly of Tracey Barlow off Corrie too. :lol:

1.6 M PREFER CHURCH ON FRIDAY

 

CHARLOTTE Church's new chatshow got off to a flying start - attracting more than twice as many viewers as the programme it replaced.

 

The series kicked off on Friday with guests Denise Van Outen, Will and Grace star Eric McCormack and comic Michael McIntyre. The hour-long 10pm show pulled in 2.6million viewers - 1.6 million more than for the finale of The Friday Night Project.

 

A Channel 4 spokesman said: "It's a brilliant start for the programme and very encouraging. We hope it continues."

 

But the seven-part, Welsh-themed series faces stiff competition from next week when Charlotte, 20, will go head-to-head with veteran host Jonathan Ross, who returns to the Beeb for a 15-part run.

 

An insider said: "Charlotte got off to a great start but, to be fair, she didn't have much competition. She'll have to work hard."

 

FABULOUS Ratings! :wub:

Such contrast from the previous article, they said she had awful viewings, yet it gained double the amount of viewers of the show in the slot previously? :wacko:
