The daytime BBC version. I just remember it being one of those excruciatingly dull programmes I watched at my grandparents.

At least that version didn't have Leigh Francis on it, though. I feel sick at the mere sight of the man, and I can't fathom how he is so massively appealing to the general public.

He should have just disappeared after Bo Selecta ended. The sad z-list celebs who want itv2 to keep going for their "careers" are what keep this man on the tv.

First Catchphrase and now another one of my favourite 80s/90s quiz shows ruined in a mere matter of months, what will ITV do next, Supermarket Sweep with Holly Willoughby? Blind Date with Myleene Klass?

Actually, I should stop giving them ideas.

Krypton Factor with the cast of TOWIE more like

The Crystal Maze with Vernon Kay

Catchphrase wasn't ruined, it was just updated! I'm actually looking forward to this, though obviously it's now gonna be much more of a comedy show. Frankly the old version was boring!

Yeah a comedy show or turned into - yeah and keith and his sexual innuendos , fair enough the old version may have been "boring" to some but why revive it and give it a whole overhaul but to also have him host it is beyond me, its ITV2's Celeb Juice on ITV but for its honestly, its called Through The Keyhole (hear sexual innuendos already!)

Catchphrase looked naff to me - didn't float my boat but Mr Chips looked more like he had "lost" weight or he had magically turned into "dusty bin" of "321" - and that too turned into another ITV plugin for shows ie TOWIE was used and I believe Celebrity Juice was also another - they ain't catchphrases they are TV Shows (for ITV)

That would be a half decent laugh - give the cast a good run for their money and actually do something worthwhile - but can hear them moaning already

She would have been a good choice for this revival of a rubbish show on Sunday evenings with David Frost and Lloyd Grossman - his drole voice used to go through me.

I think when Dame Edna had her own show one of the sketches used to feature something similar to this when she chose several members of the audience and then in turn told her assistant Madge to enter their home and of course the first room Madge was told to go to was the bedroom and the underwear drawer. Dame Edna's expressions were priceless. Is Keith Lemon presenting and exploring the houses at the same time?

Anybody but Keith bloody Lemon! he's the most annoying person on TV

Same here first response was positive (am nosey cow like seeing peoples houses) but was quickly repelled when I heard it is keith lemon - even the ad is stupid - sounds like he is saying fruit creole instead of through the keyhole- what an idiot he is

I think Lemon goes around Kerry Katona house and goes through her draws and finds secret stash of sex toys - that's why the show is on after 9pm. Please god are we going to have this all the way through the pilot series.

Well it's an improvement to what's normally on at 9pm on a Saturday.
I'll be tanked up by then,so I will be watching.

Keith Lemon sounds ok to me.

When I saw the Title I went ' Yayyyyyyyyyy ' then I saw that moron Lemon was hosting I went

Sorry I won't be tuning in

Thought he might have gone under the name Leigh Francis for this show. Instead using his stage name.

At least with Bo Selecta he had different guises with Lemon it's one and the same one all the time.

Maybe he should go back to Bo Selecta at least it was funny when it was found out Craig David hated him and blamed him for his record sales and career slide.

It was bad enough on the BBC.... what nonentities are they going to be roping in this time round?.... someone who cleans the mud off a famous jockey's wellies? Someone who once walked past an actor outside the Old Vic?

He did try to embrace the program by doing a cameo as Craig Davis a pub singer though ?
A bad worker doesn't blame their own tools.

I caught the ad again tonight he can't even pronounce the show right either "through the keyhole" sounded more like "tho ei eyhole" and it looks like he is also "touring" the houses from what I took from the ad .... wow ITV you are scraping very hard at the bottom of the barrel now .... whats next you hoping to scrape??

ITV and all other networks need to get their creative butts out than rely on deadwood revivals and possibly z listers to fill the air

I honestly thought I was the only one who couldn't stand Keith Lemon unitl I read this thread! So glad i'm not alone. He is the most unfunny individual I have had the misfortune to come across.

Your not alone everyone, I can't stand this awful excuse for a man and TV presenter either. Why do so many people find this man so funny he's an embarrasement to the nation I heard what he did on Take Me Out how can he get away with that? now a great show that was once presented by David Frost is being done by this guy. I hope it flops and people very quickly forget about it.

I have to say I'm looking forward to this

Agreed! ITV really do not like aging grey haired presenters during "primetime" (maximum ad revenue periods) nowadays in fear of people switching off and advertisers pulling out.

In fact the opposite is probably true. People would probably prefer to see the original presenters back rather than an ITV "golden handcuffs" person used in their 5th or 6th concurrent show for the network.

The ITV limited roster of presenters nowadays includes Schofield, Willoughby, Mulhern, Lemon and Ant n Dec.


Would not be surprised in the slightest! :yawn: :yawn:


Me too! I also think that Catchphrase is a disaster without ROY WALKER!


ITV is populated with fashionista idiots behind the scenes nowadays who have the bright idea of resurrecting old programmes (to keep in with their retro cool thinking) but utilise the limited *youngish* talent that ITV have on their books.

ITV is in danger of becoming a channel run by 18-30 year olds, that only appeals to 18-30 year olds and s*d the others in older age groups.
