Awful line up but I will be watching as its musicals. Strange that the press release says Jessica Hynes from Shaun of the Dead. I would have thought she is far more famous for many other things than that film.

Will little Bobby Rinder do a Billy Flynn number? Tina off of the Enders can probably sing so that one’ll be ok, likewise Bradley Walsh’s lad. Peston can sing speak ‘Oh What a Circus’ and Jessica can do ‘My Favourite Things’ in a dirndl. There we go...no need to endure it now.

If he can sing, then Barney Walsh could be one to watch here, because he already has the “cheeky chappy” public persona like Charlie Stemp. I know he sings a bit with his dad on their show, but I’ve not really watched it.
I think Robert Peston could be, um... memorable.

(I'm not gonna lie to you) I'm conflicted over this.
Look, anything that's gonna put musicals and live performances at the front and centre I'm all for.
The problem I have is non-sining 'celebrities' performing when there are so many talented and skilled performers who have been out of work for so long who seem to have been overlooked.
(sigh)

Well, I’m going for it. Can’t say much about my expectations. Interesting to see Barrowman channelling a camp but engaging Paul Hollywood.
Please be good. Please be good.......oh!

Well Rinder wasn't bad at all, apart from strange hands.

I think the judges are all really great! Lovely seeing an ensemble onstage. (Let's hope ITV credit them) Can't seem to recognise anyone.

I think the judges are on something. Crap performances and told “you could actually be in the show, 10 stars!”. Like hell they could. And the best so far gets the lowest score. What a farce.

oh, i know I can not sing a note so I can't judge on that, but oh the production - yikes. Terrible tv - not as bad as ITV's From Pop Star to Opera Star a few years ago. Still scarred from that.

I agree. I really liked his performance in sixpence. Plus he had a lot of dancing to do.
Did anyone else think Jessca Hinds had been eating a bag of black Jack's before she came on stage?

'I will hit the notes.'

Annoys me - there's other songs she could have done!!!! Not her fault she doesn't have a belty range.

I didn't think Sixpence deserved a low score. It’s a great number that was slowed down and massively simplified from its last production, with zero oomph. I was expecting an awful lot more to be honest. What has actor Barney Walsh acted in?

Never thought I'd be excited to see CHF and ALW...
Weird casting by ITV for the 'celebs.'

Never heard of Barney but he's a dead looker for his father and sounds like him too.

I recognised one of the ensemble in the Guys and Dolls routine from 42nd Street. Sorry can't remember his name but was the tall guy at the back in the routine.

ALW said Heathers like it was HEDWIG.
'IT'S ALTERNATIVE.'
He just seems to think he's breaking ground.
MAKE THIS STOP.

OK - ensemble are credited but ITV made the screen tiny!

God that was grim! Only thing worse than Peston singing was Barrowman's hideous suit.Every politician will now be able to take the piss out of him for years so it's not all bad. That song from Cinderella doesn't get any better. So so so mediocre.

TV commissioners really are determined to do literally anything other than let musical theatre professionals stage a show and broadcast it aren't they?
