Let Me Entertain You - A variety show we want?

Turns out the BBC have got hold of Brian Conley again, and he's now making is offical TV comeback with what seems to be a new variety show for daytimes on BBC Two.

Let Me Entertain You could be what we are looking for besides music and dancing. The show sees all-comers performing infront of a studio audience doing whatever they want for a £1000 cash prize. Looks to me like a modern day Oppertunity Knocks. I'd say it worth a watch for any variety fans.

Let me Entertain You - Starts Monday 4.30 BBC Two

As I've said elsewhere, it looks like an audience-participation version of the American talent-show format The Gong Show (which aired on Channel 4 many years ago). Looks interesting, anyway.

Was Bobby Davro busy?

I happen to know a little something about this show, and I can tell you that it is good fun and well worth a watch.

I'll probably watch it until Deal or No Deal comes back next week.

I must say the show wasn't all that bad. Beats twenty odd people opening boxes for the same amount of time.

And a hundred bonus points to anyone who spotted the TV Forumer in the opening titles.

Ahh - The Gong Show. Chuck Barris, what a host. Channel Four used to show this when Countdown took a break.

The Gong Show was a mis-understood classic of cheap American television. Rather than going to the expence of making a look-a-like format for British viewers, why not just show repeats of the Gong Show?
Far more entertaining.

Haven't seen the opening titles Gavin, but I'll take a wild guess at everyones favorite warm-up man, Greggles?

Nope!

Gavin Scott? You did say you "knew something about the show"? Clue is in the question as they say on Blankety Blank

Notice how the 13-year old "comedian" robbed one of Conley's jokes about the frosted window on an aeroplane. Is it just me or has this happened alot to Brian, as I've been Joe Pasquale nick a few of his jokes as well.
