Advantages: Pure and simply entertaining, refreshing, hilarious, good concept and presenter

Disadvantages: Shows could have more variation, last longer, and be aired earlier

In Bed With MeDinner is seriously fine late night TV entertainment. It may not be a classic TV masterpiece, but with all the tripe that graces most of the channels for most of the day, this program is a rather very refreshing alternative (and so is the title, which is a parody of the film 'In Bed With Madonna').
My only gripe is that it's on too late (after midnight), and it would benefit from a prime time schedule, and it's not saucy or kinky at all, it seems pretty much to be family viewing.
The concept of the program is a simple DIY one, but one that works effectively well. Host Bob Mills (who likes to be called Millsy, and has the amiable appeal of the 'alright geezer next door') does one fine job hosting the show in his studio-simulated flat (and in front of a live audience).
Apart from the cool 'The Avengers' piss-takes in the title sequences, Millsy's main job is to snap a few gags, some droll but funny stories (they work in that reverse cheese way), and take the piss out of himself at times in various small sketches, but by far the best bit is when Millsy shows a video from his so-called video shop or directorial library (which in truth are just rather silly or dodgy videos from should-be-burnt-TV archives, or WEIRD videos libraries) and proceeds to take the utter piss out of them, and even as mild as that sounds in writing, it's really serious fun in viewing (I've cracked up many times, but I suppose I'm easily amused too), and to add that insult with an injury, an ending show parody is to sketch a pisstake again from the video by himself.
This is pure and simple good entertainment! A fine concept, a fine presenter and a great show! I just wish the format would change slightly on each program, and sometimes wish they were a little more longer as some shows are really enjoyable to watch and you wish they'd last longer as you're enjoying it thar much, but apart from that, it's all exc
ellent.
Bring Millsy back ITV, and put him on a bit earlier so he can be enjoyed by the masses! Not a classic show, but nowhere near a dud either!
