The series was announced in December 2005.[2] One show attracted fewer than 2.3 million viewers, when it was moved to 7pm. The series received a poor critical reception, with Gareth Maclean saying that McCall "... found herself floundering and foundering, struggling through "interviews" with stars of the calibre of Girls Aloud, Westlife and Patrick Kielty...", and "... demonstrated a complete lack of talent as a chatshow host",[3] with McCall herself saying that the programme was "the worst mistake of her life".[4]
