wow, what an incredible night. It’s a real shame to see this show go, especially as there’s nothing else really like it.
In terms of replacements, I really don’t see beyond a new gameshow or competition format, unfortunately shows like Saturday Night Takeaway.
I can definitely see Ant and Dec returning to the live format, even if isn’t SNT exactly. Maybe something like Big Show, which is mainly theatre-based. I just hope their new projects go better than last time they went on a break!
From a technical point of view, using the entire TV centre seemed like a bit of a gimmick to me. I’d been sent about 6 emails this week by applause store and judging by that I thought the majority of the show would be taking place on the outside stage, but not much seemed to be happening on them (and I wonder how the audience found it, having queued for hours to see Andi Peters: The Musical). But this is nitpicking for what was a really excellent episode.
