Let Me Entertain You - A variety show we want?

I thought it was pretty good, and a format that will constantly have change due to the contestants variety.

The only thing is (maybe its just me) when people press their button about 2 seconds in, or during a songs instrumental. Now that's just impatience or cleverness!

You're not wrong there. People were voting as soon as some acts walked on stage.

But that's showbusiness!

The Gong Show was a great format and therefore it's unsurprising that this is pretty decent format most of the time. Host's a bit annoying but a welcome bit of variety in the schedule.

Who's that lovely lady introducing the guests? She's a smasher so she is!

Her name is Christine, and she previously was a runner for a production company in NI.

She was encouraged to make a show-reel and got Let Me Entertain You as her first TV gig.

She's a lovely girl.

Christine Bleakley, and it's her first *network* TV gig - she's done various things for BBC NI, including being the Phillip Schofield to Eamonn Holmes' Anne Robinson on blatant Test The Nation rip-off "Would You Pass The Eleven Plus?", and a showbiz gossip show presented from a helicopter just because they could .

Ah - ta for the clarification.

Any one recognise one of the chaps in today's rap group?

Yes. Morris from Deal Or No Deal.

There was another person you didn't recognise.

Dorris from Deal Or No Deal?

Gavin Scott with black face-paint?

Amongst other colours, yes.
