Really? Not on the official website yet but I guess it's been in the press? I can handle them as long as S. Cowell doesn't get in on the act. Could rate really well with such a good line-up. Far better than last year's effort with Barry Manilow, Jason Manford, Nicole Scherzinger and Stomp, among other luminaries!

The full list according to ITV is David Walliams, Rod Stewart, music icon Neil Diamond, Britain’s Got Talent winners Ashleigh and Pudsey, Brit Award winners Girls Aloud, pop sensation Kylie Minogue, superstar Robbie Williams, opera legend Andrea Bocelli, multi Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys, comedians Rhod Gilbert and Bill Bailey, an extract from the Seven Olivier Award-winning Matilda The Musical and the eagerly anticipated musical ‘The Bodyguard’, plus a spectacular duet from tenor Plácido Domingo and operatic singer Katherine Jenkins.

![]() ![]() It's also one hell of an improvement on Jai McDonald, they must have been worried that The Queen would ban them from sending more acts after him. Maybe the deal was that they'd only get the RVP spot if they sent a dog act? |

He doesn't have to do all the training, just be the public face of it (like the "mentors" on X Factor supposedly help the acts during the week rather than the faceless army of Syco and Thames TV staff who actually do all the work).
Daley is just the big ticket name to put on the posters. They don't need famous judges. It's not like the DOI and SCD panels (or Pop Idol for that matter) were household names before those shows became hits. Perhaps. This is definitely the biggest issue in trying to have some kind of progression across the series. How much can they learn week to week? The German version was only a one off, perhaps for this very reason. The better contestants will certainly be able to start incorporating more complex moves and whatnot - I saw some decent attempts on one of the trailers or the Dutch pilot (can't remember which). The token comedy act might get old quickly. Watching rotund people bomb into the pool will be funny the first time but won't last long. Then again, if it's Ann Widdecombe there will be nothing funny about seeing her in a swimsuit. ![]() Less of what? ![]() In terms of the format working, the lack of action from the diving isn't an insurmountable challenge because no TV show is constant action. X Factor and Strictly would be little watched flops if they didn't have the judges Is it any worse than them choosing the best ice dancer or ballroom dancer? It sounds like the US versions might just be judges scoring (public voting is harder to work over there due to timezones). I suppose the UK version could be the same.Theres guaranteed to be loads of padding, and having Tom Daley to front that, chat to the celebs, talk to the judges, introduce acts etc...is a hell of a risk as he is a complete unknown quantity in a presenting sense, so either he'll have a crutch or they go the route of him being the equivalent of Torvill and Dean on DOI but then which presenters do ITV have to pull it off? I can't see it taking off at all and imagine it'll seem completely amateuristic and stupid but then again what do I know? |

![]() Considering the Z Listers that will be attached to this, that may not be the last we see of it!Quote:
Have to disagree with that: Tom Daley is TV gold, such a natural on screen.
I'm sure he will get a not insignificant amount of teenage girls tuningin. Whether he is Gold on camera due to his performance or his fake tan though is another matter. That Kelloggs advert would suggest he isn't that much of a natural |

I just don't get Celebrity Splash, as part of The Games on Channel 4 it worked fine as there was variety, even the BBC might have got away with it by tying it into Strictly and spinnning it for sport relief but as a full blown light entertainment format on ITV 1 I can't see who'd watch it for ten weeks as there isn't that much you can do to TVise diving

I'm not sure what the UK commission is for but I'd probably start out at something like 4x90' (6 weeks at the very most) and see how it plays in the first run before considering longer series. I share the concerns about the actual diving aspect. I loved watching it at The Olympics but when I watched a bit of the Dutch pilot I wasn't that taken in (OK, being in a foreign language didn't help). Quote:

I can't see it taking off at all and imagine it'll seem completely amateuristic and stupid but then again what do I know? I can't see him actually presenting alone. While Ant & Dec (and perhaps Norton) are the only presenters you could build a show around, there is a supply of autocue monkeys that could perform the task required for this series. Dermot O'Leary needs something to do in the first half of the year. Caroline Flack has proven to be very good on Xtra Factor. I'd like to see those two present a show together sometime. They could go with Paddy McGuiness if they wanted something more light hearted. Vernon Kay and Stephen Mulhern are kind of on the "C List" right now. Davina is back working for ITV these days so she could do it. I could imagine ITV being tempted to give Bradley Walsh a run at primetime. Again, the reason everyone is buying this format just now isn't particularly because they think it's an awesome idea. I'm sure many people buying the idea have rejected similar ideas in the past. Networks are buying it because it is proven - it has beaten Dancing With The Stars in Holland, a country known for discovering new global format hits. And it has been a successful returning series in Germany for many years. Whatever flaws we might identify on paper, the fact is that this show has delivered ratings in major markets. |

The BBC show itself is just a rip-off of X-Factor, "poshed" up a bit with a different type of talent.
They have the nasty judge and the nice judge, Ant and Dec la Fem. Contestants; the idiot one, the gay one, the older one, the OMG! one. It's generic stuff. The BBC do this a lot, take a tacky show and place a middle-class veneer over it. |

The 60-part daytime show called Britain’s Best Bakery will feature experts judging the wares of *independent bakeries with a similar contest format.
I'm guessing not ![]() Emmers - 6354 + 401 EE - 6996 Emmers - 5702 + 401 Emmers @ 40 - 2875 + 188 Waterloo Road - 3297 Hunted 3220 Homefront - 2035 + 138 Scandal - 204k |

Bad ratings again from Hunted and Homefront last night, whilst Waterloo Road again very low, although the demographics save the latter.

Homefront/Hunted are really underperforming, you'd think one would be gaining a bit of a boost from the others performance. Imagine if they faced tough competition :/
---------------------- Thats ITV's second new cookery show after Cowell's attempt at Masterchef; this seems to be their afternoon strategy now. Interestingly this is made for Shine, so with Masterchef/bake-off a world success I suspect their worried about Bake Off's success/expansion. The article seems a bit dodgy, 60 parts for 4 weeks? Thats three episodes a day if its afternoons Monday-Friday... I really can't understand that if its true. Anyways - nothing wrong with competition; keeps shows on their feet. |

Tape checked soaps:
Emmerdale - 6.8m (32.5%) [+1 131k] Emmerdale - 6.37m (27.5%) [+1 278k] Eastenders - 7.36m (33.2%) [+3 530k] Waterloo Road - 3.3m (14.3%) Poor for all of them really. Emmerdale seeing a fair drop from its run of 7.4m + rated episodes, and Eastenders rating quite low in general. Hatfield & McCoys (2hrs) - 1.2m (6%) [+1 86k] OK at that level but Channel 5 don't have much room to drop with Hatfield and McCoys. |

Not sure how much of an effect it will have, but Skyfall may put a dent into the weekend's figures, as well as people maybe using this weekend for Halloween.

ITV1 Daybreak editor to leave show - David Kermode to step down at the end of next month after relaunch fails to revive ratings, with Karl Newton taking over
ITV1's Daybreak editor David Kermode is to leave the struggling breakfast programme less than two months after a relaunch failed to revive its fortunes. Kermode is understood to have paid the price for Daybreak's poor ratings performance, watched by half the audience of its rival, BBC1's Breakfast. He will leave at the end of next month. The programme was relaunched last month with a new presenting team of Lorraine Kelly and Aled Jones but attracted just 700,000 viewers on Thursday against BBC1 Breakfast's 1.5 million. Karl Newton, the executive producer of Daybreak and ITV1's This Morning, takes over at the beginning of December. Staff were told about the changes after Friday's show. Kermode was brought into the show last year from Channel 5 News, which he edited, taking over from Ian Rumsey. He edited BBC1's Breakfast between 2004 and 2007 before joining Sky News as 5 News editor. |

It sounds like the US versions might just be judges scoring (public voting is harder to work over there due to timezones). I suppose the UK version could be the same.
