I don't know if anyone's been watching this. It shows a group of older British singers, comedians and variety acts going to Vegas to put on a variety show. It includes Cannon & Ball, Anita Harris, Jess Conrad, Bobby Crush, Mick Miller, Su Pollard, Kenny Lynch and Bernie Clifton.
The final episode is on Tuesday at 9pm with the variety show being shown on ITV3 at 10pm. I don't know how it'll go down. If the audience is made up of Brits on holiday who know what to expect, it'll be ok, but I'm not sure what Americans will make of Bernie Clifton... I can't think of Bernie Clifton without thinking of the episode of Inside No9! I've actually quite enjoyed the show. I want Su Pollard on SCD now! She's be great. She's down to earth and puts her heart into things and think she'd enjoy the challenge and be entertaining, a little OTT, but entertaining.

Those must be the only ones left after Yewtree.

I've only seen half of the programme where they actually perform the show,but from what I did see I thought they acquitted themselves well.
Jess Conrad is like a little boy lost (at 82!) who needs everything doing for him...can't tell whether it's on purpose, so he doesn't have to do anything, or if that is really him.

I thought Kenny Lynchs voice stood up quite well, he went for songs that fit his voice and Bernie has a very good voice.

I thought Kenny Lynchs voice stood up quite well, he went for songs that fit his voice and Bernie has a very good voice. He was on The Voice a couple of years back....when it was on BBC. www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-35271062I also heard a programme he did on Radio 4 Extra to do with his singing. I Found A Tenor: Richard Tauber Revived As he prepares to perform operetta for the first time, comedian and entertainer Bernie Clifton explores the impact of Austrian Tenor Richard Tauber, the man who inspired him to return to the stage as a singer. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03ffkfq

I only watched the final performance, none of the rehearsals. I quite enjoyed it apart from Anita Harris - too lovey dovey and I thought her voice was very weak.
