You say that now. But if it rates poorly then that title is presenting a perfect opportunity for ironic headlines as TV critics queue up to kick it in its nuts.
These days we're used to absolutely fantastic performances in European and World competitions on all apparatus, particularly floor, uneven bars and beam. The sport progresses every year.
Those who watch gymnastics accept these as the norm. But I bet the viewing figures aren't that good. The last World competition was on "the red button."
What standard can we expect from the "Z-listers?"
Push-ups, Forward rolls and the pièce de résistance
a cartwheel, or a slipped disc?
We'll all be setting our recorders for that.

Channel 4 did a show a couple of years ago where sportsmen and women trained celebs to compete in several sporting events including diving, javelin, judo and gymnastics. I guess this will be something along the lines of that. Highly unoriginal as per usual.
Why when they show that I like where they get celebrities to learn ice dancing is coming to an end forever?
But it seems that all every show now is "Right let's get a bunch of celebrities - Check! Now all we have to do is give them something to do. Everyone write something ridiculous on a piece of paper and we'll pick it out of the hat..... ......Ooooo! Synchronised Pheasant Plucking!"

I'd suggest "Celebrities Splitting Slates."
No hang on!
Enough of them have been shown doing that to fill a one hour programme.
It's amazing to think that some executives have actually been paid to come up with this rubbish. It's like something you'd expect to see on Channel 5, not BBC1. :eek:
Seems to be Strictly Come Dancing meets Cirque du Soleil. Just seen an advert for it on BBC One so it's coming soon.
Will be interesting to see if it's any good. I think this type of show always favours people with previous sporting history because they'll already have some of the core strength required to pull off some of the routines.

They're trailing it like crazy during the Commonwealth Games. Just caught a brief glimpse of John Partridge and Carl Froch.
Can't believe it's taken this long to come to our screens. Says a lot really that the BBC don't have much belief in this show.
Or maybe, just maybe, they wanted to capitalise on the Commonwealth Games, what better time that just afterwards. Would have been a waste a couple of months ago.

I imagine that they'll have Louis Smith training the celebrities just as Tom Daley serves the same function in Splash.

No, Channel 5 are always wanting to attract (and fail) the tweenie market, so it will be Celebrity Twerking.
I misread that as Louie Spence.:)
:eek: I hope not.

Nope, that's not what it says. Same misreading there as the Huffington Post made. The quote says:
Though I would expect Louis & Beth to be involved in some capacity...
No one has yet ordered Monkey Tennis, so I disagree
