Channel: 4 Time: Friday 8:30 Host: Claudia Winkleman Interesting Fact: Claudia Winkleman also hosted Talking Telephone Numbers after Emma Forbes. Which is nice.

Well then, here's Trading Up a show where people aim to trade in their cars for a better one so Channel 4 can sell the old one off and make less of a loss. Hmm. Before the show two couples who both own a car look at four decent cars and select the one they want. There is a slight catch to this though and a catch I will reveal later.

During the show, the two resident car experts whose names I can't remember review the cars and give a sort of character assasination of which type of person would suit the car and then they'd typically argue with each other for, y'know, comic purposes.

In between these bits, Claudia asks questions of the couples in order to find out more about their personality. Why is this? Because at the end, the audience vote on the car which they think match the players' personality. Aaaah, clever. If the audience give the most votes to the same car that the players picked before the show then the players 'trade up' as it were and win that car. If the audience and the players don't match however then they go home with the car that that came in with. Ahhhhhhh.

Erm... and that's it.

Verdict: 5/10 To be honest, there isn't much I can say about this show and it shows doesn't it? It's quite a nice idea I suppose.
