I liked Sam's dress.
Rinder's handlesticks were terrifying!

The choice of songs was pretty lack lustre as were most of the 'stars'. As for the panel's star ratings, think they pulled them out of a hat. They seemed to bare no resemblance to the performance. Still it was good to see musical theatre again, shows how desperate we are if this is what it takes!

Thought Barney Walsh was pretty good and deserved higher marks he did sing and dance and use props unlike many other performances.... and looked adorable 😊, I think the budget ran out for peston !!  ?? Whoever put him in the fancy dress cheap suit ? The ensemble around him all looked great .... and you thought someone would have shown him how to wear his hat Freddie parrot face Davis sprang to mind poor bloke |

Two thoughts-more might come later
I don't like Rober Preston as a political journalist, let alone as a performer! Definitely the weakest one up there.
Does anyone else think that when Elaine Paige laughs she sounds like a poppet?

I have woken up traumatised and can only blame this programme...as people have said , why not just do a full on musicals show? The people that I thought would be good were not and the ones I assumed would be terrible did not let me down.
edit- Rinder has just tweeted a picture of himself as George III. What on earth?

I loved the opening. It was nice for the ensemble to have some work and great to see some good dancers on TV.
The scores were daft. And not needed. They could have just given comments.

And when she goes off on one on the radio I really laugh out loud along with her (not the same kind of laugh I hasten yo add). Cheers me up no end, but I am easily entertained. |

Yes, I too am very much in the pro-laugh camp. 😂 It's even available on BBC Sounds. How many people can say that?

She still laughs at Adolph Green and must have said the name a million times over the years.

Well... Just when I thought it wasn’t that bad, out came Peston.
They were quite harsh with Barney Walsh, his routine was way more complicated than the rest of them.
I like John Barrowman, though he’d be better on the panel as he seemed a bit reined in as a host.
I don’t listen to her show but I love Elaine Paige’s laugh. Had to google it and was just crying listening to this:
