i have a problem an addiction my name is amy and i am addicted to rob rinder
so a little backstory so you know where my views are coming from i discovered judge rinder the tv
show about 18 months ago and i fell instantly in love partly because rinder is an eclectic
bundle of humor and intellect and partly because i'm obsessed as a crime writer with
criminal justice on the criminal justice system it turns out that rob renders crime stories is the tv
show for which i've been waiting my entire life i love it and i love him after several months of
binge watching judge render i attended the pilot recording of wonderland and that was followed by
two day trips to manchester to see recordings of george grinder and that is a fantastic experience
and if you do ever get the opportunity to go you must take that up and then last night i was at
the inaugural recording of the brand new shiny tv show the robrinder verdict so i promised not
to give anything away about this episode and it really does need to be seen to be believed
however this is such a unique journey and there's so much that i'd like to discuss
gush about really that i welcome any adult twitter communication after the episode has aired
the rob rinder verdict is a five-part series in which rinder discusses a wealth of politics
entertainment and hot topics from throughout the week this recording was on the wednesday
and it's airing on the friday so it's quite a quick turnaround it's produced by expectation
who are no strangers to comedy shows so i'm pretty certain they'll do a fantastic job
with it's 10 o'clock time slot on channel 4 rob is able to be a lot more loose with his
tongue and that is something in which i'm very much delight i'm not quite sure how much of
the recording is going to make it into the final edit as he is a flagrant flirt with a filthy soul
and i love him for it rinder has several guests in this episode it's judy love jonathan ross and
tom allen i have to be honest seeing tom allen and rinder together in a room is discombobulating
and i'm confident they're both in denial but i love them and that's neither here nor there
so the guests are seated behind a sort of table with rob in the master seat it's quite a compact
set uh certainly compared to the setup for wonderland which was quite vast and had a
giant picture of rob's head on the floor it was very eclectic it's it's got quite a soothing color
scheme it's very inviting and very warming naturally i can't yet comment on any of the
camera angles and the editing because it hasn't aired yet but from the monitors i could see
there was a good variety of shots and so there's certainly certainly plenty for them to work with
unlike many chat shows where the format is pretty straightforward interview style
rinder actually takes his guests on a little adventure in advance of the show we get to see
those vts and it gives the show its own little spark i won't say anymore i don't want to spoil
it there are also some pretty intense games one of which heavily involves despots not only
does this allow rinder to draw in an aspect of criminal law but it's also deliciously dark and
right up my street above all of course we have the chemistry and the camaraderie between rinder
and his guests jonathan ross was as one would expect a streaming tap of rock as anecdotes i
wasn't familiar with judy loves work but after going to the recording i definitely want to
check out some of her other things she was very likable and i felt that her personality fitted
him well with the other guests which is always essential with this kind of chat show format
and as for as for robert's doppelganger tom allen what can i say they're they're two peas in a pod
he's utterly fabulous they both are and i couldn't have chosen a more perfect and fitting guest
for this first recording the drop render verdict is poignant it's heartening it's exactly what
we need in these troubling times i love it i love him you must watch the rob rinder verdict
