Regarding Stars, maybe they should have just played it straight and used Phillip Schofield or Christine Bleakley as the new host? Would that be better received?

They could have asked Matthew Kelly or Cat Deeley who both presented the show before. I think the show in it's old format would have worked fine with Phillip Schofield, though.

Absolutely they could and should have, whatever the problem is it can't be that serious if they went ahead with airing the episode. And yet it was deemed serious enough to dish out a warning
![]() EDIT: A prize of a trip to France isn't anything like serious enough for the episode to have been postponed. Sounds like the warning was just the Beeb insuring themselves ahead of a rollocking in the Mail ![]() |

There might otherwise have been viewer complaints: some people are probably under the impression that the lottery quiz is broadcast live and would wonder why Paris was being cheerily discussed / used as a prize with no referencing of the news.

SITE was absolutly dreadful. We stuck it out for two 'performances' then gave up. What were ITV thinking?

I don't agree with broadcasters having to apologise for viewer stupidity but that would explain it, I guess.

How will Call the Midwife do on it's return? Will Broadchurch, The Voice and Stars in Their Eyes see increases, falls or steadiness for their second episodes? Will Ipswich v Southampton be a match of the day for BBC One? How will Suspects do for it's series premiere? Will Get Your Act Together help ITV do just that?

Stars was a real hodge podge - TV Burp format mixed in with other zany stuff and then the singing. Personally I found it mildly amusing and am glad they tried it differently. It's not like it was ever a serious talent show to begin with and tonight was no different to how it's ever been - they've always had rubbish people and a couple of okay ones which today was.
Maybe it won't work but no one should ever be under the illusion that a straight remake of the original would work either. |

![]() Seems they are really pulling out all the stops here. I hear Sarah Phelps is writing the episode. She is doing a one off ep. One if not the best EastEnders writers ever.The 30th Trailer was filmed today also. So that could be on TV this week sometime. |

If they were that worried they could have just swapped episodes.

Regarding Stars in their Eyes, they've only filmed 2 episodes so far apparently, so maybe changes may gradually be made during the series.

So we have An Iconic Wedding,Murder reveal,Legend's Death,Some comebacks and other surprises a LIVE episode with Live parts the rest of the week. It's already bigger than the 25th. I think we could be in for some fantastic ratings.
Once the trailer kicks in an hype builds people might want to revise their Ratings prediction. |

Re. EastEnders - it's a story in the Daily Star. How good are they with soap news? Quote:

Too many shows, especially on ITV, have started a mess and found their footing... only for the viewers to have abandoned it never to return. They need to hit the ground running with the launch. |

It'll be too late by then. Too many shows, especially on ITV, have started a mess and found their footing... only for the viewers to have abandoned it never to return. They need to hit the ground running with the launch. Quote:
I think getting a tough signing like Ross Kemp back could be the thing to really push it. It is in a way shaping up to be better than the 25th, but then that had general goodwill about the show anyway. EE and soaps aren't as strong now as 5 years ago.
He would be up for a return. I put money on him being a surprise Return in Feb. |

I do wish these things weren't immediately hyped up in this thread though, I'm excited by it because I love the show but it just gives people who don't an easy target to bash it when the ratings inevitably disappoint. |

I doubt it will be that soon, the other Lucy trailer was filmed a good month before it aired.
This one seems to feature the cast as a whole. |

The show was too dated in it's original format
On the other hand, I'm just watching it now and I am going to go out and a limb and say I don't really understand the reaction. Here's a list of the show's concepts: boring theme tune, unexciting graphics, naff set, repetitive one-toned audience reactions which were completely over-the-top about every act, presenter making awful jokes, dull VT's about boring family lives, cliched and terrible dance routines, tacky props treated seriously, every contestant so far being from Slough, the moment where he "just happened to have a guitar here" and be amazing despite having never played before.. and I've only watched 20 minutes. It's nothing more than a spot-on parody of everythibg most of the population finds naff about these shows. I can absolutely understand why it would go down badly with typical ITV viewers who are used to taking the X Factor as seriously as a general election, or those who recall the original format as though it were a much-loved late relative, but then again ITV already provide for those audiences enough so perhaps it's for the best that they finally find something which might find the opposite audience. It's not perfectly executed, admittedly, but it is a damn sight more interesting than the 406th repeat of Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone or You've Been Framed, and certainly better than 'Splash' or 'Your Face Sounds Familair' which weren't receieved anything like an unanimously-negatively as this has been. Well done ITV for having the guts to not only comission something new at last but something decent and maybe even innovative at that. |
