When Will I Be Famous?

Waveguide - Graham NortonGraham Norton is to host When Will I Be Famous? a new live show featuring variety acts from the UK and around the world.

Each week, different acts put their skills to the vote with the winner taking home a cash prize of £10,000.

A panel of three celebrity judges pass comment on the acts – which range from seasoned variety professionals to complete novices – and cast their vote. A panel of 101 pre-registered viewers will then vote from home and make the casting decision as to which acts go through to the live final.

Many of the acts who don't make it through the audition process will also feature as part of the programme in Graham's Sideshow.

Executive Producer Phil Parsons said: "When Will I Be Famous? will provide a shot of glamour and excitement. The production team has been scouring the globe for the world's best variety acts throughout the autumn and, as well providing a platform for established acts to reach a wider audience, we have also unearthed some exciting, unsigned and unseen talent for BBC viewers."

Every dog has its daytime
Graham Norton's new BBC1 variety show When Will I Be Famous? may not have been an overwhelming success with viewers but it was a definite hit in one famous household - that of the Madeley/Finnigans. Apparently Richard was so impressed with the show's winner, dancing dog Chandi and her mildly eccentric owner Tina, that he has demanded the mutt appear on Richard and Judy this week. Lets just hope Richard doesn't try one of his trade-mark embarrassing dad acts and try and dance with it. guardian
