Potentially the best talent show ever and you know it would be...

Firstly, I need to clarify something about my earlier post. According to Paul (who saw it happen and is therefore more objective), apparently the teenage boy this morning didn't deliberately hit me, he was running for the bus and fell off the raised blocks along the edge of the carpark which is next to the bus stop, thus hitting me in the process with his flailing arms. Still, though - an apology wouldn't have gone amiss?

I really came here to post this piece of randomness from earlier. After watching Buzzcocks and 30 seconds of I'm A Celebrity... and discussing reality TV, the following talent show idea came to maniacal fruition.

Here's the thing. Brian Blessed is quite possibly the greatest random celebrity wotsit since sliced bread, and when the inevitable happens in a few decades and the earth is no longer graced by Mr Blessed's presence, it will be a sad, sad loss indeed. It is therefore imperative that the world finds a replacement to take his place. The best way to find such a person? Well, a TALENT SHOW, of course.

It would be called "Hullo, I'm Brian Blessed!" (obviously), where hopeful candidates would audition in a manner not dissimilar to X-Factor in order to win the ultimate accolade of replacing (nay, becoming!) Brian Blessed should the unspeakable happen. It would be presented by the man himself.

I didn't decide who the judges would be because the image of Brian Blessed presenting anything is enough to send me into hysterics. (Have I Got News For You, anyone?)

I shall pitch this idea to Channel 4 immediately. :D

Any suggestions on who should judge it? I was thinking Stephen Fry and Graham Norton for a start, but that's just the fangirl talking...

he's allright. I don't like him that much to love him though. Look beyond the fangirling.

Judges:
Len Goodman (seVERN)
Patrick Stewart (classically trained shakespearian actor like our Brian)
Matt Berry (think about it)
The Gamesmaster (yes - Patrick Moore)

Hosted by Lilly Allen
Theme music by ZZ Top.

Behind the Beard sister show hosted by Kenny Everett (if he wasn't already dead) on ITV4.

ok so I also tried to think of people with equally big beards but came up blank. Must be this red wine...

No idea who Len Goodman is... and it HAS to be presented by the actual Brian Blessed so he can fluff his autocue lines. :)

Therein lies the rub. :)
