Britain's Got The Pop Factor... And Possibly A New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly On Ice is a two-hour long comedy sitcom created, written and produced by comedian Peter Kay. The show will air on Channel 4 on 12 October 2008, making it the first show Kay has produced on the channel for four years. It has been labelled by Channel 4 as the 'comedy forefront of the autumn schedule, which will begin a year-long season of programmes'.[1][2]

The title, and general format of the show is a parody of several modern and rather popular talent reality television programmes, the most notable being Britain's Got Talent, Pop Idol, The X Factor, Any Dream Will Do, Soapstar Superstar, Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing On Ice.

Plot

As well as being the title of the show, Britain's Got The Pop Factor... And Possibly A New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly On Ice is the title of the fictional series the show is based around. Kay stars as a fictional contestant on the show, singer Geraldine McQueen. Nicki Chapman, Pete Waterman and Neil Fox (who were also judge panellists in Popstars and Pop Idol respectively) will star as judges.[2] Jo Enright, Karl Lucas, David Hulston and Sian Foulkes will star as a band, in which the two women are wheelchair-bound.[2] This is presumably a reference to the constant 'sob stories' which appear on these type of shows. Cat Deeley is "the host" of the show.[3]

Music

R(Our) Wayne sings a medley of Return to Innocence by Enigma, Love Train by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, Earth Song by Michael Jackson, YMCA by The Village People and There's No-one Quite Like Grandma by the St Winifred's School Choir.

Two Up Two Down sing a medley of We Built This City by Starship, Bootylicious by Destiny's Child, 9 to 5 by Dolly Parton, Holding Out For A Hero by Bonnie Tyler and Hero by Mariah Carey.
