J ust had a thought. Lenny Henry's shouty opening will be what, 8 to 10 minutes..
between each act you get him clapping his hands and saying " That was bloody amazing I have no idea... "
plus introducing the special guests, and over long rehersal footage. I recon this will fill the 45 minute slot before doctor who, currently occupied by that wipeout thing, and bring on the wall... plus the judging, the recap, and teh long drawn out pauses....
there won't be that much actual performance time given to the magicians will there?
They wont do an act.. just a trick.
You know, i have a feeling that when this airs... we will probably all hate it.
not because it's bad telly, but because there just wont be enough magical content to slate out thirsts.
( See comments regarding Derrens specials for more proof of that)
and teh worst thing of all is, the formatt we see, will be put together by some media type, who doesnt know the first thing about magic. And will probably bear little or no resemblance to the proposal Alex and Paul punted in the initial meetings.
you're like Yoda.you dont say much, but what you do say is worth listening to....
Greg Wilson about.... Me.
