My family loved this and highly recommended it - but I didn't enjoy it.
The overall "mission" of the show is very nice and it is quite touching.
Although I like Joe as a presenter his comedy is not for me.
Half the time it relied on a Dave Gorman style of pettiness, where mundane things are taken to the extreme - which isn't for me.
Doing something just to annoy some random person or just to say you can, seems a bit self-centred - I have the same issue with Dom Jolly.
The other half is just pure snark.
Sometimes the put-downs had a sprinkling of wit but often not.
Very much in the vein of: "oh I like your hat."
"Thank you, I wasn't sure if..."
"No I was lying your hat is stupid and you look stupid! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!"
The end piece was very sweet but the big reveal was a little bit narcissistic.
