A message from Phillip....

1st August 2006: There has been a lot in the press about "Its Now Or Never" and although Phillip is on holiday at the moment he has kindly written this message for the site:

"To everyone who has expressed their support for Now or Never, thank you. We're still trying to figure out why it wasn't the hit we all thought it would be, there are a number of factors, Double Rollover on the Lottery, hot night, poor public perception of what the programme was, the return of Casualty, we could analyse endlessly. What we do know is that the programme was terrific. The 2 million people that found it thoroughly enjoyed it, indeed ITV received a high number of complaints over the fact that the second programme wasn't shown. It was 'pick of the day' in a large number of magazines and papers. The journalists that came to the filming of the first programme were extremely positive. What is very sad is that the show has been judged a flop on content, it's certainly true that the figures were terribly disappointing, but this was not a cheap 'reality' show. It was very well made by a respected production company, it was fun, feel-good family viewing and everyone involved was extremely proud of the final result. Now or Never was also described by a senior TV exec as 'the best new entertainment format I've seen in 10 yrs'. I've never really reacted to negative press, in fact I have quite thick skin and programmes and presenters are there to be judged, however, just this once I wanted to stand up for a programme I believe in. If there is no place on telly for this sort of family show, then we're all in trouble. For once this was a show that you could watch without voting! Should it ever return in the future, in whatever new guise, give it a go, you might not like it, but then again, you might be pleasantly surprised."
