Celebrity Squares returning to TV Screens

Well it looks like its coming back after a 18 year hiatus possibly presented by Warwick Davies and being recorded at the London Studios.

I'm guessing the pilot was successful enough for ITV to commission a series...

The reviews on Bothers Bar suggested the pilot was something of a disaster. If they do commission it I doubt it'll be with Warwick Davies.

Yeah, he doesn't exactly say 'showbiz' does he? Having said that I can't think of a modern day Bob Monkhouse, not one on ITVs rosta anyway. Keith Lemons Celebrity Squares could work, although I'd rather they didn't

The line up doesn't sound too great either, though that might improve for a full series... or more likely it'll just be a showcase for obscure stars from other ITV shows

Maybe Peter Kay? He hasn't done much lately.

Peter Kay is doing a sitcom for BBC ONE and another show for C4

Keith Lemon's Celebrity Squares

Dear god no!!!

Sadly, given his track record with Celebrity Juice and how Froo T'Key'ole went, I wouldn't put it past ITV to consider him.

He's successfully rejuvenated one format, so there is an argument for giving him another.


Also do you have to make a point of letting us know you're not a fan every time his name is mentioned, it would get annoying if everyone did it when someone they weren't a fan of us was mentioned.

Ratings wise I think that's questionable given that the show has yet to air without an X Factor lead in of 10m.
It has yet to stand on its own feet. Similarly Jonathan Ross is doing terribly on Saturday nights now without the X Factor lead in he had last Autumn.

I take your point, but you can't stick any old show on after X Factor and expect it to get 5 million +. Having a good lead in isn't enough these days.

It will probably end up a Phillip Schofield vehicle now that Dancing On Ice is finishing.
