The Alan Titchmarsh Show was a British daytime chat show presented by Alan Titchmarsh. It was first broadcast on ITV on 3 September 2007 and aired on weekday afternoons. The show's main focus is the "Best of British" theme with many of the shows' segments focusing on fashion, health, nature, cookery and animals.
On 18 March 2014, Titchmarsh announced that he was leaving the show. The last episode aired on 14 November 2014.
The programme made its debut on ITV in 2007. It focused on the theme of "The Best of British" focusing on food, entertainment and celebrities in a mid-afternoon slot. The focus of the show later shifted towards gossip, entertainment and a light-hearted discussion of sex tips. The latter was toned down after viewer complaints and a shift to a late afternoon 5 pm slot in 2010. The show usually opens with a review of gossip and current affairs stories of the day with regular guests including Gloria Hunniford, Carole Malone, Penny Smith, Nick Ferrari, Janet Street Porter, Jane McDonald and Emma Forbes offering their opinions. The programme resumes the studio debate format at half-past the hour with a "heated" discussion on the main "hot topic" of the day. The programme also includes regular cookery slots currently with Nadia Sawalha or Claire Richards with Titchmarsh adopting a comical, "hands-on" role as a hopeless cookery assistant. In Shrager's cookery demonstrations, the pair often alternate between bickering and flirting with visual "humour" and numerous double entendres from the host. A wine-tasting panel often features along with items on flower-arranging, pets and gardening, the latter involving Titchmarsh answering viewer's horticultural questions assisted by studio guests. The show usually concludes with Titchmarsh interviewing a major celebrity or public figure and also contains regular musical items with live studio performances. The show is coloured with Titchmarsh's dry, slightly camp style and Yorkshire wit and it is often peppered with risque puns of a mildly sexual nature.
