September 9, 200816 yr I love variety shows, but the musical guests all sound terrible. Can't we have some quality cheesy dance routines from the likes of the Brian Rogers Connection or some ventriloquism from that Ron Lucas bloke?
September 9, 200816 yr Its an attempt to bring back the old 'Sunday Night At The London Palladium'. Those shows died out ... and to be honest ... for good reason! Anyway ... Boyzone are the star turn this weekend so ... enjoy! Norma
