Could there be anything more irksome than the dubiously intentioned Live Earth?
Yes, it turns out, as I stumbled upon the catchily named Sing it Back: Lyric Champion 2007. Crikey Charlie - what an awful idea carried out with all the subtlety of an elephant dancing on a piano. All contestants have to do is complete lyrics to well-known songs. And when I say "well-known", I really mean "well known to listeners of Capital FM". It's essentially a frivolous concept which brings back memories of the much-missed daytime game show Keynotes, but to crank up the tension they're filming it in a CSI-esque forensics lab with monotoned Paul Gambaccini firing lyrics from behind a desk like Davros at a karaoke club.
All in all, it's very poor. So poor, you almost feel sorry for presenters JK and Joel, who the producers are clearly eyeing up as "the next Ant and Dec" - seemingly oblivious to the fact that Sam and Mark have already claimed that crown.
