I really hope they get a run at this again !!!!! really enjoyed it. Not the cringe nostalgia I was expecting at all.

Chris's mum, brilliant!

The driving/ Top Gear bit seems to have taken up a hugely disproportionate bit of the show.

Maybe.

Ah, boo! Thought it would go on for a decent while

Lovely Bloke

that was brilliant

So. Who do we want as the new host?

That's after Eurotrash

Proper Friday night entertainment.

Just switched on The Graham Norton Show and I thought the lad sitting beside Matk Whalberg was Jack L.

Kirstie Allsop was pulling pints earlier, but by the end she looked like she'd had a few herself. Good stuff.

Lovely Bloke

1. Story with Norton's beard?
2. Lauper has not aged well at all

Even the awesome Norton line up has a lot of work to do to match that.

That was the best Friday night entertainment since, well, the 90s.

No, thanks. Okay, I'm not a bloke, but I used to like the show back in the day. This is Top Gear does Zany. Not for me.

That was very enjoyable

Boo! Stupid Sky Atlantic.

FOTC are the best ever.

Actually now I think of it , how the hell did this show become so popular in it'd original time slot ?

Guess all of us would have been 14/15 at the time and too young to be in a pub after work on a friday

I'm still waiting for season 2, I've never seen it repeated since the first airing.

Ahem, for many of us it was essential viewing before heading legally to pub. We're old now.

Seth McFarlane doing time after time as Stewie lol now Peter true colours!!!

I loved it. Not everything worked perfectly but there was lots to enjoy.

Hope it returns in some form but it was a fine way to spend a Friday evening.

But it also had a late night repeat, sometimes with an exclusive sketch just for the late night viewers!

I was usually out knacker drinking by then :pac:

It's gas, when you look away from the TV you think Family Guy is on in the background. And my wife thinks Seth has had his forehead botoxed as it's wrinkle free compared to Walbergs or mine.

i enjoyed it,

but even after all these years i just can't warm to Chris Evans, he comes across as an arrogant twat

He is tho

This was my first time watching this show. In fact, I'd never heard of it before they announced it was coming back.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Chaotic and so so funny. I really like Chris Evans. Really excellent TV.

Not on 4OD til after the repeat?

so surprised that it used to be on at 6 o'clock

A complete borefest and rather pointless if you ask me. I think Chris Evans had and still has talent and TFI was a great show at its peak but this was awful for me. The content was threadbare, there were no highlights whatsoever. It was a mixture of some old TFI best bits tacked together and them simply gathering round for the anniversary party. Not sure how anyone who liked the original liked tonight but lots of them proving me wrong on Twitter!

What material was there to write?

Atlantic Dawn

Loved it, please please let a new series be done, it was like the last 15 years or so never happened. I can't wait to see the viewing figures, it will be massive. Now if they could also bring back The Word with the stunning Dani Behr my life would be pretty much fullfilled, lotto wins no longer needed.

Hilarious reading this thread really, it's like you were all just 10 year too early to be called hipsters.

Are you one of those people who think Mock the Week is all off-the-cuff? :P

No, but even with that in mind I just can't see what others are seeing. I was too young to fully get into it in the 90s but I did watch a good few times and it was always ten times better than tonight, even watching it as a wee lad. I'm wondering just how much the nostalgia effect of it simply happening at all was at play tonight? Don't want to get people down, just my opinion and if it was able to match the 90s (updated for 2015 obviously) I'd be all for it - it would have to be with Evans though he makes it.

Same as. I was too young to go out after.

Was really looking forward to it last night and found it thoroughly enjoyable.
Surprised by how many bits I remembered.
