.... Strictly On Ice.

 

 

Anyone watch this on channel 4 last night? It was the best mickey-take I've seen in a long while. And scarily, not too far-fetched compared to the real thing. Peter Kay is ace

It was good wasn't it. Did you know that Gary Barlow co-wrote the Winner's Song with Peter Kay? Gary was chatting on the phone to Chris Moyles yesterday morning and he told him and then started playing it on his piano. Was very funny. How many people do you reckon thought it was real? Hehe.

All I know is, it was dreadful. I couldn't take more than ten seconds of it.

I couldn't watch it :(

 

Too many programs on at that time which my family watch/record, it got so bad I had to watch Stephen fry in America upstairs went laying in bed.

i loved it...it was soooo funny!, That bit with R Wayne and R Gran and when Cat Deeley got mad!, the ending, it was brilliant!!!!!! :D

Parts of it were good, but in typical Peter Kay fashion he relies on others to crack jokes to keep the show alive, and I'm sorry but Nicki Chapman, Neil Fox and Peter Waterman are not comedians.

 

Peter Kay amongst Boltonians in Phoenix Nights however... that'll Ding Dang Do for me! ;)

Peter Kay trumps X Factor single

 

A satirical song by the comedian Peter Kay, lampooning television talent shows, is likely to outperform a single by a former X Factor winner and will vie for the No 1 spot in today’s pop charts.

 

Sales of The Winner’s Song, sung by Kay as Geraldine McQueen, an overweight transsexual from Northern Ireland, are thought to have overtaken Leon Jackson, 19, who won the ITV talent show last year.

 

Both singles were released last Monday, but Kay’s spoof has sold so well that it stands an outside chance of knocking Pink, the American singer, off the top of the charts.

 

McQueen was the fictitious winner of Kay’s talent show send-up, Britain’s Got the Pop Factor and Possibly a New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly on Ice.

 

In the programme, seen last Sunday on Channel 4, McQueen impressed Sir Paul McCartney, her mentor, with a rendition of the Home and Away theme tune and won praise from the judges for a medley featuring Rihanna’s Umbrella.

 

Jackson’s first single, When You Believe, went to No 1 after he won The X Factor in December last year.

 

Simon Cowell, the millionaire impresario behind the show, and Sony BMG, the record label, deliberately waited until The X Factor was back on air for a new series before releasing Jackson’s second single, Don’t Call This Love. Last weekend the teenager performed his new song live on the show before a television audience of more than 10m.

 

However, attempts at generating maximum publicity around Jackson appear to have been scuppered by Kay and his army of loyal fans.

 

It will not be the first chart success for Kay. He has already been involved in two No 1 singles, the proceeds of which were donated to Comic Relief.

 

Commenting on Kay’s latest hit, Gennaro Castaldo, a spokesman for HMV, said: “It’s actually not a bad pop tune . . . Millions watched his [TV] show and are obviously playing along with the spoof.”

 

Last week Barbara Follett, the culture minister, criticised talent shows for limiting the aspirations of children: “Kids nowadays just want to be famous . . . and win The X Factor”, she said.
