Angela and Friends is a British talk show which was produced by Crackit Productions for Sky One. The show aired at 12pm, Monday to Friday, and was presented by actress Angela Griffin, who was joined by three "friends" in each show to discuss the latest news, celebrity gossip as well as other topical issues.
The show was the centrepiece of Sky One's first foray into daytime television and was originally commissioned for 90 episodes – 18 weeks – each of 90 minutes.[1]
Viewers were encouraged to contact Angela and her "friends". They could do this by text, email, Facebook or Twitter.[2] Griffin read out these messages during the show.
In March 2010, after the show finished for a two-week Easter break, it was announced that the series had been recommissioned for a second series,[3] at the slightly later time of 2.30pm on Monday, 12 April.[4] The duration of the show was reduced to 60 minutes.
For the last six weeks of the second series, it was brought forward to the time of 12:00pm. The series ended on 2 July 2010.

Ratings
Angela and Friends premiered amid much publicity in the media, yet only managed to attract an audience figure of 35,000 viewers (or a 0.6% share) for its first episode.[16] However, Griffin remained hopeful, stating that she would not read reviews of the show or worry over how many people viewers it attracts, stating "I'll cope by not reading any reviews. And if people don't watch, I'll go back to acting."[17]
