425 & Jen

[tikay]

I have just seen this week's 425 for the first time, & maybe I already mentioned this, but you MUST try & catch Jen's interview - it's only on 1 more night. She gives a super 425 Profile.

The "new" table, the "set" as it were, also helps the show a lot imo.

Rumour has it that the show will revert to 30 minutes again soon, as the TV suits think it's "sharper" at 30 minutes. I could not disagree more - the extra half-hour allows more time to elaborate on subjects, & the feedback I get suggests almost all viewers prefer it. Ah well, what will be will be, the TV Execs know what they are doing I guess.

Anyway, do try & catch the Jen interview. She's like a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day.

i have the show on sky+ but need to reconnect the cables so as soon as i can get someone round the back of the tv i will torrent it

cheers Iron.

I have to say i MUCH prefer it at 30 minutes. The current format just gets boring IMO

I quite like the duration of the show as it is because there’s always plenty to talk about and plenty of people to interview. It’s nice to have a show that discusses and interviews up and coming as well as the established names in poker. Shame we couldn’t have two have two half hour shows a week.

Obviously can't please everyone though.

Are there any legal reasons why highlights are never shown of the actual play from festivals? I know you don’t get much time but it would be nice to see some play from competitions where we recognise people other than the big names. It was nice to watch the final of the Grovesnor/Blue Square Grand Prix 2005 final table on TV. Are there any other shows like this that I’ve missed?

There is no reason at all why play cannot be shown from the Final, & I think it's rather sad that it is not, even if only the "key hands".

I agree. Escpecially when you talk about certain hands, it would be nice to see them too. So who decides not to show them? Is it something that can be added to the show?

It's not so much "who decides to show them", more a case of what the Producer tells the cameraman to shoot at the venue. It's a piece of cake to film the action from any key hand, but it just needs the Producer to instruct the Cameraman so to do.

I like the one hour format, It allows you to do so much more.

I suppose the problem with filming the key hands is not knowing which ones they will be. To get the important ones, you would have to film them all.

I agree about Jens interview, it was...well, it was pure Jen.

Yes, she just oozed that girlie enthusiasm, modesty, & zest for life. And her reasons for liking The Commerce Casino cracked me up. What a wonderful character she is. No wonder her Mum is so proud. blonde sure are, too.

Tikay, does anyone really need 60 minutes of you a week

The women need more. And it's 19 hours a week at the moment. They can't get enough of me.

You may bow, too.

I too like the full hour show. It's really nice to get all the diffrent parts of the show in and to reduce it means somethings being cut out :-( It's not as if the programmes around it are being held up .

Jen's the best, a real sweetie and so great at the updates... the thing i like best tho is her own words.... the girl invents new words every update... priceless.
