Britain's Got The Pop Factor And Possibly A New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly On Ice is Britain's latest reality talent show. It's the ultimate reality show and solo artist Geraldine McQueen must battle it out with pop band Two Up, Two Down to be named the winner.

The programme, hosted by Cat Deeley, follows the contestants' attempts to make it the top, while all the time being watched by judges Nicki Chapman, Pete Waterman and Neil Fox.

Our Review: This show (with its absurdly long title) was described by Channel 4 head of programming Julian Bellamy as "an affectionate spoof. It features TV auditions, bitchy judges, performance anxieties - they're all there".

This is certainly true, but Peter Kay forgot to include any jokes in the show! Or at least that's our view-point. You just can't spoof things like The X Factor because these shows are already a farce. As a result, what we got (bar a couple of admittedly fun moments), was two hours of just 'yet-another talent show'. The programme's biggest offence was its length - two whole hours meant lots of padding!

It should be noted that many of the show's viewers wouldn't agree with what we've written here. The first half of Pop Factor was a ratings hit for Channel 4, and there are a number of people posting on our message board singing its praises too. It just wasn't doing anything for us.

News has reached us that, because of the great ratings, this show will be back for another special this Christmas.
