Reception[edit]

The article currently implies that this show was a successful transfer of the American 'roast' tradition to British TV. In fact the show did badly, as UK audiences were unfamiliar with the concept and its conventions, and felt uncomfortable with it. The experiment hasn't been repeated since. Some very successful US formats just don't travel well. --Ef80 (talk) 02:07, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
