Presenters Emma Bunton, Sara Cox, Rufus Hound and AledJones, all self-confessed TV lovers, said:

Emma Bunton: "I'm super excited about Too Much TV. If I wasn't hosting this show I would 100 per cent be tuning in everyday. It's right up my street as I'm obsessed with all things telly!"

Sara Cox: “I'm really excited to be working with 2 of the hottest blondes in showbiz - Rufus & Aled. Plus I get to job-share with an actual spice girl!  TMTV is going to have a poke around in last night’s telly for any treats you may have missed and will give you heads up on what to watch on your telly box every night. It's also very exciting that I'll be able to commandeer the remote control at home, gawp at loads of TV, and claim it's for work.” 

Rufus Hound: "With the premise of the show being that there's 'Too Much TV', it may be hard to see how making more of it is going to help. And yet, I'm assured by the BBC's very top scientists that it definitely will. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if they're right or not. 
For my part, I shall be spending my wages on trying to fix the garden."

Aled Jones: "I'm always being told I watch too much TV so this is the perfect series for me to present with my 3 old mates Emma, Sara and Rufus! I'm sure even I'll discover some hidden gems I've never watched!"
