The Peter Kay reality talent show thing on C4 is hilarious and wonderful. Hopefully, it'll stop any more crap cheap LCD TV show like Britain's Got Whatever from being made...but it won't
We've switched over to the Stephen Fry thing, but watched the first bit of the Peter Kay programme open mouthed. The man is a genius. The Rick Astley scene in particular was magnificent.
It was fab, and fantastically predictable in places ("you know what he should do next, have a member of that person's family die to increase audience sympathy ... oh wait, yep, ticky box! ..." (and so on, don't want to put spoilers in here, just in case!!))
I did feel that in the second half, the 2up2dn stuff broke the "suspension of disbelief" a bit by being just a bit "too bitchy" and too "we deserve this" ... but Dr.Fox and his mis-quoting Nicky and by his stupid way of phrasing things, was *perfect* ... and I loved the quote about two midgets and two donkeys "just like a party at Simon Cowell's" was hilarious ... and then "Heroes" medley with the phonebox costume change and then ... ROFL, definite LOL and ROFL!
