Synopsis
Daytime talent show, in which contestants are given three minutes to do their act, and win more money the longer they remain on stage. The studio audience have voting pads and the contestants are booted off once 50% of the audience have voted to get rid of them. Contests run across a week, with the top two performers from each day going forward to the Friday final.
There's nothing terribly groundbreaking about this format (in essence it's just a variant on the classic US format The Gong Show) but with the daytime light entertainment genre currently going through a mini-boom (The Paul O'Grady Show, The Price is Right, even Deal or No Deal) it's a neat idea to tap into that market with a talent show, and it works.
Inventor
Adam Wood, who also devised Cash Cab.
