Less a chatshow, more a vehicle for its host's outsized personality, The Big Narstie Show has been a qualified success. Given that comparable programmes often feel like little more than a parade of promotional messages, it has been refreshing to see guests treated as props rather than flattered. Narstie is a winningly unpredictable presence, while his wingman, Mo Gilligan, keeps proceedings roughly anchored to convention. The series concludes with Narstie hitting the road.

Big Narstie and Mo Gilligan's anarchic chemistry continues to grow as the late-night chatshow continues. Narstie's charm means he gets away with more than most and guests hoping for an easy time promoting their latest gig get more than they bargained for. So far, they've been good-humoured in the face of this onslaught.

Craig David's wingman Big Narstie and his charismatic co-host Mo Gilligan present another slice of post-pub TV. Narstie heads out on the road to spread his own unique brand of joy to the nation, while big name guests join him and Gilligan in the studio. Who needs Graham Norton and his starry sofa when these two huge personalities are in action?

The Big Narstie Show review

The show works best when it goes off script.

Every new comedy chatshow says that it's going to upend the suffocating established format in a way that will be really jolly anarchic, you know; this one should have a better crack at actually doing that than most. Grime MC, YouTube wag and Big Fat Quiz wildcard Big Narstie hosts a mix of celebrity interviews, live music, audience interaction and filmed skits, flanked by rising standup star Mo Gilligan. "All formalities [will] go out the window," the press blurb promises. Let's hope so. Hopefully it'll be proof talkshows can be more than sitting around promoting things.
