that official site will have vids like bbc did i am pretty sure.

This is what I meant by any major capital city in Canada or North A. having a huge theatre district that people travel for, is their "west end"

Thanks Piper! Maybe you should be Nancy!

roflmao...!!!!!!!!!

too late.

i've moved on...

When do the live shows start?

Have the Maria school episodes actually been aired yet? I wonder if this will be shown in the UK at all...

the whole show starts June 15 (don't know how many weeks will be auditions, etc) - don't know about live shows.

Are we gonna have a forum for this? I think we should so we can talk about the show.

Hey!

Piper is Evita from what I can remember LOL!

ha ha ha

Well, this show is on Sunday..which is a full day in itself

*wedding anniversary
*fathers day
*and my husband just qualified for the PGA yesterday so we will be celebrating on that day too, then home to a lovely show of HDSAPLM
can it get any better?

only if i concieve another baby perhaps.

WOW! Big day then. Will your husband mind staying in when the show's on? LOL!

i'm sure he won't mind. it's for me.

besides, he wants to know who this John Barrowman is who i keep talking about

You mean your husband has yet to meet the rest of your family?

ah ha ha ha ha ha! you caught that before i had a chance to edit it properly. actually they are very much alike
scary.

I see they have found the new graham norton in Host Gavin Crawford

Hey All,

I will be downloading HDYSAPLM Canada and will provide links for those who are interested.

Hope it's as good as the British version and not as bad as the American/British "You're the One that I Want"!

For me there's a huge difference between this type of show done by the BBC and ITV.

The audition stages of ITV musical reality shows are like freak shows for me (and I'm including AI as it shown here on ITV2).

be interesting to see the differences and changes done to accomodate the country..........

CBC is the national broadcaster, more like the BBC than a commercial network.

Sounds like it show be okay then!

your day sounds great , but the last wish would be a nightmare for me..........lol.

I hope you get all your wishes........ Good luck

BBC and CBC are like CTV and ITV do you think? CBC had one difference, they don't charge a licensing fee, but they can still show rubbish. CBC is a national broadcast channel for Canada, just like ABC is for the US, which showed You're The One that I Want... I hope this show does well.


lol, i think i spelled conceive wrong.

i put the link up to the official site as well. i don't know if it will be as extensive as the BBC one with a lot of videos. thanks for uploading it all.

Small correction--Grease:YTOTIW was on NBC, not ABC, and both (along with CBS, Fox and a few other minor ones) are commercial networks, not national broadcasters. The USA does not really have a national channel equivalent to the BBC. The closest thing is PBS, which is viewer-supported public television--it gets it's funds from donations by viewers and corporate grants.

I'm definitely looking forward to catching as much of the Canadian Maria show as I can. The website is very promising.

true it is NBC I forgot that. I was only comparing it to the US like this. NBC, ABC, CBS and even before Fox were the main stations in the US before any of this cable, satellite stuff. CBC and CTV were the stations in Canada before cable and satellite and Global TV.

I am well aware of PBS, I subscribe.

this is why i asked is CBC like BBC and CTV like ITV? I am Canadian and live in both countries and never compared to CBC to the BBC, probably because when i was really young we had 3 tv stations, and we had commercials and didn't pay a licensing fee. i get the difference between commerical and national broadcasting I just never saw it that way. when cable finally was available, we only got cbs, abc and nbc from the US. which were probably all affliliate stations now that i think about it.
