Partly, but you also have to factor in that Matthew Kelly was a great all rounder with appeal across the demographics. Cat Deeley is a solid presenter, but the problem with solid presenters is you rarely see any personality in their delivery.

The Cat Deeley era was bland not because of the show itself but because of the rise in reaction television such as X Factor and Simon Cowell. A little 2 minute edited VT package of Bob in Scarborough before he became George Michael is different to following Bob in Scarborough's journey over 12 or so weeks as different artists which is what people wanted and got more out of. In my opinion, you could never bring it back as a straightforward 'cabaret' contest like it once was but equally you can't try and cheese it up with a silly comedian such as Harry Hill as has been proved so far but you can see where ITV were trying to go with this.
Revamped Through the Keyhole works because it can get away with being scripted, you can't script singing and performances from regular members of the public.
