Saturday evening TV entertainment just got much more musical as Rochelle and Marvin Humes’ pop chart quiz kicked off on BBC One last night.
The quiz sees three teams, each consisting of two contestants, battling it out to ‘name that tune’ as well as the artist.

Rochelle and Marvin Hume’s pop music CV, coupled with their husband and wife chemistry, must have looked like the perfect formula on paper.
But it wasn’t a guarantee of an instant hit… as viewers were only too happy to point out on Twitter.
Some were frustrated by the slow pace of the show…
Far too much nonsense chatting……just do the quiz! #TheHitList

8 minutes in, I’ve been into the kitchen three times to stir the chili and still no questions yet…#thehitlist

Others were just not entertained…
Thought I’d have a look at #TheHitList.
After 5 minutes I realised I’d totally wasted the last 5 minutes.
