Its presenters were Sarah Cawood, Claire Gorham, American model Rachel Williams, and in her first presenting job, Sara Cox.[1][2] The programme ran for two series in 1996 and 1997. FormatIts magazine format allowed for interviews, live music, features, and stunts involving studio guests and the live audience. Originally broadcast in the old The Word time slot of 11pm on a Friday night, The Girlie Show later occupied Channel 4's traditional "post-pub" time slot. As with The Word, the late night air-time meant that guests and presenters encouraged each other to be controversial. In the tradition of The Word, the show's content and its presenters were heavily hyped as being more edgy, dangerous, and 'ballsy' than other programmes on British Television{{cn|date=November 2018}}. The show also featured a group of four "Twentysomething" males from Sunderland in the north-east of England called "The Naked Apes" (named after the book by Desmond Morris of the same name). The four were filmed each week in a variety of situations including a trip to Amsterdam, trying to pick up women in a gay nightclub, and going to the greyhound races dressed up as the "Reservoir Dogs". This was an early format for what would later become "reality TV", and showed what "lads" got up to when they hung out together. The group gained notoriety{{cn|date=November 2018}} due to continued scenes of drinking and their attitudes towards life and women. The series was notable for being the first to feature the girl group Spice Girls.[1] There was considerable tabloid backlash against the show due to its often amateurish production standards[3] - the presenters had little experience of live television. It was similarly castigated in the broadsheets as 'witless'.{{Citation needed|date=October 2008}} Although the intention of the producers was to cash in on the Girl Power and ladette phenomena, feminist commentators complained that the show's style and content appealed to male chauvinistic stereotypes.{{Citation needed|date=October 2008}} Several so-called practical jokes on members of the audience were also clearly staged. Channel 4 subsequently placed the show at number 80 in its 100 Greatest TV Moments from Hell list.
