Ten commissions local version of big budget UK show Sunday Night Takeaway
Ten is to attempt to answer one of the big questions of the Australian TV industry: Would a version of British ratings behemoth Saturday Night Takeaway work locally?
The network has announced it has commissioned ITV Studios to make Sunday Night Takeaway, which will be fronted by I’m a Celebrity hosts Julia Morris and Dr Chris Brown.
The live variety show features games, a studio audience, musical acts and celebrity guests.
Saturday–Sunday what’s the diff?
Come on give us a break!
I think I’m going to be a programmer. Beverley McGarvey’s answer to new programming is ripping off shows o/s or regurgitating tired formats like Dancing with the stars, Price is Right, wheel of Fortune etc etc.
Can’t wait to see the talent pool for the Sunday Night entertainment, as there is no pool.
And if the viewer has to sit through Julia Morris grating, then it means a disaster.
CBS is watching and they will wise up very soon.
Hey Hey worked for a long time. Something like it can work now. This could be it.
They also tried to bring back Hey Hey a few years later and it flopped.
This is gonna be a total flop , surely they ( the poms who own it )will make them axe it when they realise just how pathetic Julia Morris is , she has gotta be the worst thing going , even worse than that Denyer fool ( don’t know who told that idiot he was funny , and Morris too for that matter ) Surely in a country of 30 million you can find someone who’s a lot less annoying than Denyer and Morris and even come up with something original . Surely they realise the success of the show is all down to Ant and Dec whom Britain adore . Unlike that bloody Morris thing and Chris! He’s a good vet but no comedian either , but still ten thousand times better than Morris and Denyer ! None of them are capable of hosting anything , especially live as Morris hasn’t said anything remotely funny even with writers and a script , imagine how shit it’ll be live ! ? ? ? ? ?
Ok so from a different point of view as I’m born and bred uk for 39 and watched ant and dec Saturday night takeaway and loved every single one that while it’s Takin a few minutes to get used to it … I’m glad as I’m thinking of home and no ant and dec but it’s good xx
