My youngest siblings watched Raven a bit and had good things to say about it - I've heard comparisons being drawn between it and Knightmare, but I've never got around to looking it up myself.

The stuffing of any and all programmes with reviews and looks ahead is one that I've noticed as a particular problem in America. Because they have to go to adverts every five minutes, the buffers at the start and end add significant weight to them, and I think that they could easily be over in about half the time if all the repeated footage was cut out.
