It's a pity Cowell's other show Walk The Line turned out the way it did as it could have replaced The Voice and grew its audience. Probably ITV's best chance of beating Strictly again.

Yes the basic idea of having a singing gameshow, with all the beats of something like Millionaire (or maybe Beat the Chasers with a panel making cash offers based on performance) but with singing/performing instead of quizzing, is not a bad one. I think there’s definitely something in it. But unfortunately the version of Walk the Line that aired was really half baked and needed significantly more development to get where it needed to be. I’m not sure they piloted it and it shows. It also sounds like chaos behind the scenes with Cowell dropping out late on. A shame as it’s probably killed the idea completely.

Is there a series of Catchphrase in the can considering it didn't air in January?

Yes, 14 episodes airing this Autumn according to ITV Media. Saturdays around 6pm I guess.
