Hmm. Not sure what I think of that idea. I like Harry and I like Stars In Their Eyes (to tempt a catchphrase), but the show doesn't need to be made into a comedy, as it presumably would be. I think maybe, great as it was, SITE should be left in the past.
Would love to see it come back. Have been watching some of the old ones on Challenge recently. I wonder what studio they would use. Everyone used to refer to the production team as being like a family at Quay Street. Would they bring it to London or keep it in the north. There must surely be a suitable studio at Media City, Salford. One thing is for sure, it would be quite refreshing to see it again on a Saturday night instead of Cowell and his cronies on X- Factor.
There was talk a couple of years ago of reviving it and they went as far as to announce a pilot would be made at Quay Street when Granada were in residence but it never happened.Plenty of studio space at Media City.
I wasn’t really a fan of Stars in Their Eyes originally, but if ITV want to re-make it then good luck to them. But what I don’t like about this news is that Harry Hill is to be the host. I really like Harry Hill, but I can’t help but think this would be a terrible vehicle for him which would allow very little of his creativity to shine through, the creativity that made TV Burp so popular.
I’ve said it before, but I think if Harry Hill wants to do something different he should do a comedy game show, sort of like Celebrity Juice or something.
I like Harry Hill but I hated Stars in Their Eyes. Such a clunky cross between karaoke and dressing up. Unless they turn it into some kind of pisstake of deluded contestants I don't see how it can work with Harry Hill as host.
Good God - they HAVE run out of ideas!
NTT and SITE weren't all that good back in the day anyway!
What region was it that foisted that doggerel on the network?
The itv revival machine is bringing back shows that served them well. But one gripe that i have is that some of the shows mentioned are purely celeb mr and mrs and family fortunes to name two. Harry hill isnt the man to front stars in their eyes. Paddy mcguinness would be a good host
I would have liked itv to bring back

The makeovers were good but some of the actual staging was a bit shit.
That said, I'll never get over a particular "Dusty Springfield" who came through the doors as a dead ringer for Myra Hindley. Terrifying!
Always wondered what she and the make over people must have thought....Was it a case of we can't fix it now so lets leave it, Or did they all just ignore the issue
Love stars for their eyes but you know it will be celebrities, ITV dont do stuff with normal people, they think we just want to see celebrities on everything they make.

You think? I reckon it was pretty top quality. The makeovers were usually excellent.

So it's not a stretch to imagine that will happen in this show, Harry kicks of each episode with his very own makeover...
Sounds ghastly.

But not Harry Hill as the compere - Cat Deeley did the last series, she was vewry good
Your Face Sounds Familiar.
