AS LIVE - Talent/Variety show idea

AS LIVE
TALENT/ VARIETY SHOW

Title: Show Us What You Got
Format: 30 minute AS LIVE
Channel: BBC 1
Broadcaster:
Target Audience: 5 - 100
Schedule: 6:30 Saturday recurring over a six week period

Unlike the various series’ of talent shows that we as an audience have become accustomed to seeing on television with the same sorry format and unnecessarily long runs which are commonly followed by tabloid scandal and winners that quickly fade away into the background . Show us what you got comes as a source of relief as with its simple, welcoming, nostalgic and pleasant tone brings back the sense of fun found in the old school variety act shows.
Each week the recurring male and female hosts will introduce an ensemble of three to five variety acts of all shapes and sizes. These acts will perform to the best of their abilities to win over the live studio audience. Between acts the hosts of the program will have time to engage with members of the studio audience whilst other acts would be preparing on the stage segment of the studio set. Not to exclude the audience watching at home who will be able to decide who they think should win with a live online vote. All taking place within a 30 minute broadcast I would hope for the height of excitement that can be seen on as live children’s programming whilst keeping the level of entertainment to keep audiences of all ages wanting to see more. The winning variety act would be awarded a Show us what you got trophy by the hosts and would be put through to a fictional Show us what you got final.  This hypothetical final would take the winners of the first five shows to find the series champion. It would be here that the now common cash prize would be awarded and therefore could be mentioned during the pilot without having to account for it in the budget.
Over all Show us what you got would encourage and endorse the sense of playing in the show for the fun of it without any big search for the next big superstar mentioned anywhere during the show.
