I like this. Yes, it doesn't reinvent the wheel but it's catchy. I liked the idea of it being a speed awareness anthem as joked about on Capital.

I'm liking this! Reposting because I think my earlier post got removed - either that or I didn't submit it at all!

I think insisting on in-person auditions and (seemingly) not even allowing any video applicants - at least for the very early auditions - gave them an unnecessary headache.

The problem is that the show went out on Netflix and, given audiences aren't really going there for documentaries like this specifically, it wouldn't have reached as many people as if it was a three parter on ITV. Silly to expect top 5 though. I don't think anyone has debuted that high in ages.

I'm enjoying it a lot. I am annoyed it's on TLC though. Firstly the original showing has no subtitles so I have to wait until Tuesday. Secondly, I know there is a workaround to watching it on catch-up but it's not as easy.

I agree with the other two being Keisha & Brenda. I think Conkers is Ben Shephard.

No chance Conkers is a professional singer. You can tell by whether or not they have much in the way of rhythm.

I was very sure on Can of Worms. Shame he didn't make the final.

I think they're just hoping that a clip will go viral or something. I doubt they're expecting the viewership of the actual programme to be up to much.

Okay, that's one I should have really got. 😄 I love the fact he was still wearing his trademark collar.

Can of Worms is definitely someone from JLS. The thing is, the clues (the farm stuff) all point to JB but it sounds more like Marvin. Conkers could either be Tom Daley or Ben Shephard.

Red Panda not being Alan Carr would surprise me at this point.

Blimey. Talk about a disaster. Georgina was too nice for this process.

Completed the series yesterday after watching at weekly pace. I'm glad they fleshed out some of the characters, particularly Izzy and Agnes. I did wonder if the grooming storyline would have been a whole series arc but I think having it and then showing the fallout was probably better. The ending was very satisfying with Darius getting found out. The Luca & Freddie scenes were sweet. I'm also glad Noel & Stace got something resembling a happy ending.

Also I gather from some Instagram comments from those who were at the recording that the (seemingly) drunk woman that chased Michael was soon thrown out.

The closest I can think of is Gary & Robbie from Take That taking #2 and #3 in the album charts in December 2013.

If it holds, that will be MIKA's highest charting album since 2009 (his second) which got to #4. His last English language album (2019) only got to #57.

The show needed some fresh blood. I'm intrigued to see how this plays out.

I would argue that KSI relinquished his privacy the moment he agreed to let Michael into his phone. The voice note was sneaky but he was reading something that he saw Michael type. As for playing the replies, I imagine there's a lot that didn't make the cut but like I said before, I'm nearly 100% sure they knew it was Send to All.

I think everyone is in on it now. You can tell by the fact they now clearly use WhatsApp and they are most likely pooling together a list of "acceptable" contacts to put into a group and then just sending it that way. The voice note element was fun though, a different spin on what they normally do. I think it worked better than the different approach they took with Katherine Ryan a few series back.

Enjoying the series so far. Unlike the unexpected star stars they've had previously they rushed to give Sophie Ellis-Bextor in-ears which I think is wise. 😄 Also with Send to All I do find it slightly odd, signing off a text - still love it though. Remember Me throws up some great moments too.

It's only really the voice that drew me to Anton. Plus something was drawing me to Strictly.

I felt that ever since Robobunny failed to win...

I'm thinking Arctic Fox is Anton Du Beke too.

A new 3D Mario would be quite nice. Luckily I've got quite a backlog anyway to tide over the year.
