But The Voice in the initial stage was popular because it was "nice". If you take the nice element away you are left with TXF on speed.
I suspect if no changes were made, it would get criticism for being the same as on the BBC, whch was pretty tedious, and episodes dragged - especially the backstage rubbish. I don't doubt what you are saying, but The Voice launched well due to all different elements that went in its favour. First of all its on the BBC, and for a typically younger skewing show it had a very large older following. I don't think it'll cause too much audience decline. To start with it won't be nearly as big as it was on BBC1. It'll be at least 1m down. |

Right Charlotte, (you annoy me at times) I have an idea for you (don't groan) but I have seen the line up for the Swedish Eurovision National Final MelodiFestivalen and the talent is through the roof. Develop Eurovision: You Decide and you know spend some blinking money to get the talent in and film it at arenas around the UK and have the final at the O2 arena. I bet Graham would LIVE to do this. Spend the money Charlotte don't be satisfied with just turning up. Rather than cheap shiny floor LE Let's Drag up for "X" Relief or Let it Dull or Let's try and replace two of the blinking Spice Girls the most successful and iconic girl group of all time!. Actually invest in a format that might yield a return. It could be a spectacular rival to The Voice especially as the contest is skewing younger these days.
You already have formats there Charlotte to make big. Use them! As for Spice Girls, it might just have a few legs if the idea was to create a brand new 5 girl group, but I cant see the point in an entire series to find just two. |

That's normally how it works on The Voice apparently. It means they'll be less dishonesty from judges.

But ITV said they weren't going to change too much initially when they bought it. Sounds like they're giving it an X Factor touch in places.Quote:

The Voice launched well primarily because it was new and something different to X Factor in the early stages. This was opposite BGT which also had a sizeable older audience alongside the younger audienceQuote:

It should do better than the last BBC series. It won't be as big as it was when it started in 2012. How will Let It Shine do opposite? An unknown quantity in the mix.

No, Scotland are showing it tomorrow instead of Mastermind.
You may have noticed the New Year's Eve concert has been confirmed. The act's a bit of a draw, I think - http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/lat...016/robbie-nye |

Will.I.Am has stated on The Graham Norton Show has said that if you don't turn for the hopeful then you can't comment. So if no "mentors" turn the contestant just walks off. How cruel ITV. How cruel. :Rolls Eyes:

This is true. When The Voice started those that watched said they liked it as it wasn't cruel like The X Factor was then. Forced Britain's Got Talent to change too and become nicer.
Like anybody cares. They liked seeing something positive coming from the coaches. Once the chairs stopped spinning that's when the ratings dropped. Nice as in nice. But ITV said they weren't going to change too much initially when they bought it. Sounds like they're giving it an X Factor touch in places.

Walliams does this for BGT and XF has been like it this year. I'll go the show another go to see if it's improved - whether I stick with it.. |

I enjoyed it. It's not perfect, but it made me laugh out loud more than once.
It'll be interesting to see how it rates away from IAC and particularly in two weeks time against ITV's low-rated comedy. Expect it won't rise very much if at all. Viewers no longer have just three or four channels to choose from. |

ITV simply won't have time to show inane chatter with losing contestants on The Voice. It's the most pointless aspect of the show's format so it makes sense to drop it. Doesn't mean it's nasty.

Did anyone watch Walliams & Friend tonight? What do you honestly think of it?
I can't honestly believe it was commissioned. Waste of money and time. I like David Walliams but compared to Little Britain, its just on a completely different level. |

Will he be CGI'd for the rest of the series? Surely his last SCD will be the final, not a recorded Christmas show?

Its only a few glanced at lines but Charles Sale saying the chances of Champions League football returning to terrestrial tv are increasing. Apparently both SKY and BT have been in discussions with "terrestrials".

Apparently there is a growing campaign to keep him on, but he seems set on leaving. |

Good rating for Fawlty Towers.
EastEnders was good last night; a pity that figure doesn't reflect it. Though it will need more than one good episode to secure a decent audience again. |
