Synopsis
An hour and a half commercial for Britain Get Talking plc (hence the clunky title). Celebrity teams from ITV's biggest shows come together to compete and sing for Britain. There's very little to say about the format: Each team has an introductory VT where they bunny about mental health for a bit, then take to the stage to perform their song, the judges blather for a bit, repeat until a winner is announced (there is no scoring during the course of the show). So if you've seen any other performance show, it's like that. Evidently it was popular enough for ITV to commission a second inning, with one of the teams formed from the BBC's EastEnders?!?
