The programme features armchair critics sharing their opinions on a range of television programmes, such as Coronation Street, Strictly Come Dancing, Ashley Banjo: Britain in Black and White and The Mating Game. The series began broadcasting on television in October 2021.

The programme is an episode‑style broadcast that gathers the views of armchair critics as they discuss a selection of television titles. It is presented as a concise, single‑episode format and first appeared in October 2021. The series is listed under the genre “episode,” indicating a stand‑alone piece rather than an ongoing series. Within the episode the critics turn their attention to four distinct programmes: the long‑running soap Coronation Street, the dance competition Strictly Come Dancing, the documentary‑style series Ashley Banjo: Britain in Black and White, and the reality‑dating show The Mating Game. Each title is examined through the lens of the commentators, who share their personal reactions and assessments of the content. The selection of shows spans a variety of formats, ranging from scripted drama to competitive dance, documentary storytelling and relationship‑based reality TV. By covering this mix, the episode offers a snapshot of contemporary British television as perceived by everyday viewers. The broadcast remains focused solely on the critics’ opinions, without introducing external analysis or additional narrative elements.
