It was for series 5, which is excellent. Twists from start to finish. It also got the Emmy for best show. And Curtis, eh? Well, I won't say anything as you're watching 4, but he's certainly got a nice set of muscles. ;)
"How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?" - Andrew Lloyd Webber, clearly in need of a hit, got together with the BBC to find a new Julie Andrews to star in his forthcoming stage production of "The Sound Of Music." Lots of girls interviewed, they were whittled down to ten, and each week the whole lot get tortured in true reality show style (singing/acting/dancing/army assault courses) for our entertainment. Three judges - nice judge, bitchy judge and John Barrowman, who is going to play the Christopher Plummer role - plus Andrew on a throne, with the Phantom Of The Opera Music played every time he opens his mouth. Oh, and Graham Norton hosts it all, and seems to have something very strange going on with Andrew...
See, it's compulsive. And that's before they even sing anything! Then there's the girls themselves, and the seperate competition as to who can cry the most. The over-whelming favourite is Connie, who has just missed out on West End roles before - and, I think, is fated to come second again. ;)
Have a look at www.bbc.co.uk/maria/ - you can download clips and see whether it makes your hills come alive! :)
And, once again, can I suggest you move to the Midlands??????? ;)
