Saturdays, 8pm,
ITV1
Watch out Dommett’s About! Hidden camera prank show where Joel Dommett, Judi Love, GK Chesterton, Sam Thompson and a number of guest stars undertake tasks in secret based around sabotaging the efforts of a group of people who believe they’re on a real TV show, earning cash for those civilians as long as they don’t get caught. It’s Big Brother secret tasks meets The Mole and Beadle’s About, basically.
Not suuuure how appealing that sounds, not a massive fan of hidden camera shows myself but have always enjoyed the set-ups on Michael McIntyre’s Big Show which at least have a certain warmth and silliness to them. Also it’s been on the shelf ages – it was originally down to go out last year – although this isn’t necessarily a sign of a lack of confidence, they are sandwiching it between Britain’s Got Talent and The 1% Club, ITV’s two biggest entertainment shows of the week, so you can’t say they aren’t giving it a chance. I thought it had 6:30 written all over it.
Anyway we’ll keep an open mind, at the very least you’ve got six new formats to watch across the next six weeks that are all being sabotaged. Let us know what you think in the comments.
On a slightly different point, I see this Sunday is the last Millionaire before dramas are on so I was wondering maybe they should’ve put the rest of Millionaire on after BGT around 9pm and sabotage around 6:45 to 7:45 and BGT 7:45 to 9pm
