Did anyone see that last night?

WHAT A LOAD OF TRIPE! It took 60 minutes of my own life away. I would want it back but i'll only waste it anyway.

The singing was dreadful, the presenters were literally during the songs just showing off and the set it pretty much reminiscent to that of Catchphrase in the 1990s

Well done ITV, you've managed to make yet another right old cock up of things when it comes to launching a new show.

If this dosen't get axed mid-series, i'll be surprised.

I didn't see it, but judging by the trailers, I assumed it was going to be an awful rip of Don't Forget The Lyrics. Not to mention, ITV have ripped Alexei Sayle's Liverpool off BBC2 by creating Les Dennis's Liverpool. Again, I didn't watch it. I just hope this doesn't become a trend, and if it does, I hope it fails miserably Twisted Evil .

I watched some it it, it was dreadful. I much preferred the show with JK and Joel that was on around this time last year.

Les Dennis's Liverpool? I'm sure Granada have been making programmes along this road for around about 50 years so they aren't ripping anyone off

Why did you watch it all the way through then?

I caught about 30 seconds of it - and soon switched over. I agree the JK and Joel version was much better last year.

Makes a change.

The show was dire, I'm surprised they didn't try and re-vive the same kinda karaoke show Five used to do with celebrities and Suggs. At least that was slightly more entertaining.

I may be wrong. It was pretty much judged by them having the same name. As I say, I never watched Les Dennis's.

I recorded it and watched the first song before turning off, what a load of rubbish!!

I agree that it'll probably be pulled in the next few weeks.

Ben Sheperd is everywhere these days! Laughing

No surprise that ITV slumped to one it's "worst Saturday shares ever" this week, but Who Dares Sings actually managed 3.7m, which is probably more than it deserved.

We all know about shows getting more than they deserve Wink

Ben Shephard was far more suited to 1 vs 100 than Who Dares Sings . Probably because it has a more 'combative' feel. That is, Who Dares Sings would probably do better with someone like Bruce Forsyth or Chris Tarrant in the chair, if you see what I mean.
