Alan Carr's Happy Hour: Fans blast 'awful' show

Viewers tuned in tonight to watch Alan Carr present his brand new comedy show. However, several viewers did not warm to the Channel 4 programme.

The title and the setting of this new show - which will be filmed at a social club - suggests an evening of slightly tipsy and possibly gently anarchic chatshow fun. Sadly, it has already been confirmed that drunken highjinks will not be on the agenda, but even so Carr is a reliably slick operator and this variety format could prove a good fit for his talents. Expect celebrity guests, standup comedy and live music with your hyperactive, mildly saucy ringmaster.
