Has anyone other than poor lumbered Holly and Phil ever referred to this show as 'The Greatest Show on Ice'?
Yes, it's the return of this beleaguered show that was only ever ok in its heyday. Which was a long, long time ago.
This is a tired format, being played out again and again with diminishing returns, and if ITV really must persevere with it you'd think some bright spark at the network would've tried to put a new spin on it by now.
But no, same old, same very much old. Even the gimmick of having an ex Strictly pro pretend that they're a novice (hi Brendan) is old.
You do feel sorry for all involved, because surely ITV could cook up something better for all parties.
