Special 1 TV, Episode 1 on BBC 3: Video

The Special One has returned to the airwaves with episode 1 on BBC 3. This one, released on the first day of the World Cup, features Jose alongside Wayne Rooney and Sven-Goran Eriksson as well as the usual cast of call-in experts such as Rafa, Didier Drogba, David Beckham and even Tom Cruise.

It’s not their funniest episode, but there are a couple of chuckle monents here and there.

One thing I noticed, however, is that the episode is approximately one minute shorter than the previous show on Setanta. This may not seem like much, but one minute is a long time on a short TV show like this and doesn’t give creator Mario Rosenstock as much time to develop story lines or gags. Hopefully BBC will give him his minute back.

    Special! Nice American take on things but a poor Tom Cruise accent. Much more a Texas drawl. Shorter but a bit tighter and better produced.
