A lot of noise has been made about this new program that will be broadcast live on C4 this evening. Especially, since it hasn’t been on air yet. It is described as “a fresh and unashamedly intelligent take on current affairs from a young perspective.” A series of 15 episodes of an hour long over 15 weeks is planned for this show, and it’s live.
The show has its origins during the British Election Night last year. That evening it ran for 4 hours and was presented as “the Alternative Election Night”. The show proved such a success; soon rumours were going around about a series sprouting from the show. Only now not just politics will be subject, but other interesting things as well like “How Wayne Rooney looks like a potato”.
There will be interviews, discussions and critical and satirical elements. It has been reported politicians have already agreed to be guests. All in all an exciting outlook; though still expectations are mixed.
Many times this new show has been compared to the Daily Show with Jon Stewart and it will be up against Newsweek and Question Time. It has yet to be unfolded how things will go down for this new satirical news program.
The show is a production by Zeppotron, an Endemol company and is commissioned by C4’s Darren Smith, the lead commissioner for this series.
It will be presented by the same group of hosts that presented the Alternative Election Night, namely Jimmy Carr, David Mitchell, Lauren Laverne and Charlie Brooker. And it’s called “10 O’Clock Live”.
The first broadcast will be this evening.

Okay, that was really just an exercise in writing. I suppose not too bad, but not exactly great either. Reading back I realize it’s really a mishmash of facts and other nonsense. All true however and some free advert for the show.
I won’t be watching; I don’t receive C4.
