With 'The X Factor' axed (as much as ITV try to convince us it's 'resting' in a very Monty Python way) and signs that even the reliable 'Britain's Got Talent' was wilting Simon Cowell dreams up this.
It's very nice of him to give some of his old mates a bit of work (Dawn French, Alesha Dixon, Gary Barlow) but this, like many a modern talent/game show is only worth watching for the last few minutes where the person decides to 'walk the line' or 'cash out'.
It's a bit like 'Masked Singer' in that sense.
Will this be the next big Cowell hit, or be a one year thing never to be spoken about again? Time will tell.
