''Peter Kay's Britain's Got the Pop Factor... and Possibly a New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly on Ice'' is a British television comedy show created, co-written, directed, produced by and starring comedian Peter Kay. The two-hour show aired in two parts on Channel 4 on 12 October 2008. The title and general format of the show is a parody of talent search-based reality television shows. The title of the show is an amalgamation of other talent-search reality shows, as well as a stage show (representing the show-within-a-show mentioned below); in order - ''Britain's Got Talent'', ''Pop Idol'', ''The X Factor'', celebrity variants of pre-existing shows, ''Jesus Christ Superstar'' (in reference to Andrew Lloyd Webber's BBC series of talent shows), ''Soapstar Superstar'', ''Strictly Come Dancing'' and ''Dancing on Ice''. As well as being the title of the show, ''Britain's Got the Pop Factor'' is the title of the fictional series within the show, where ''Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly on Ice'' is the name of another fictional talent show, to which the winner of ''Britain's Got The Pop Factor'' gains automatic entry. After the end credits, the show advertised its "sequel", due to show the next year: ''Celebrity Fiddler on the Roof In the Jungle'', an amalgam of British reality show ''I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here'' and the musical ''Fiddler on the Roof''. It was the first show Kay had produced on the channel for four years, and was described by Channel 4 as the 'comedy forefront of the autumn schedule, which () begin a year-long season of programmes'. The show was rerun in its entirety on 14 December 2008. Due to the release of "I Know Him So Well", a duet by winner Geraldine McQueen and Susan Boyle for Red Nose Day 2011, the show was repeated on 26 March of that year, with the video for the song shown immediately afterwards. ==Plot== The programme was shown in the style of a live final talent show hosted by Cat Deeley and judged by Nicki Chapman, Pete Waterman and Neil Fox (this being the original ''Pop Idol'' panel, minus Simon Cowell; Chapman and Waterman were also panellists for ITV's "Popstars" and ''Popstars: The Rivals'' respectively.) Peter Kay appeared as solo artist Geraldine McQueen, a contestant. Jo Enright, Karl Lucas, David Hulston and Sian Foulkes performed as a band 2 Up 2 Down in which the two women were wheelchair users, and Marc Pickering played R Wayne: another solo artist. This mirrors the three categories ''The X Factor'' originally split its entrants.〔 The two hour final exhibited various acts that did not make the final, and the three finalists' journeys on the show. It revealed their sob stories and the fact that sob stories were the driving force behind which contestants got through to the final. Geraldine McQueen had gone through gender reassignment surgery after being a male piano player on one of the Irish ferries and 2 Up 2 Down have had a multitude of bad experiences. R Wayne was originally eliminated at bootcamp for not having a good enough sob story but was brought back into the show after his grandmother (R Gran) died from a heart attack on hearing news of his elimination. Later on in the show, a notable character from the first series of ''Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights'', Psychic Clinton Baptiste, revealed that R Gran was attending a pub quiz in heaven with Thora Hird and Heath Ledger. The three finalists each performed a live medley (performed in a serious manner, with the insensitivity of the song selections providing the humour). At this point, R Wayne was eliminated and the final two acts then performed their own rendition of "The Winner's Song". The winner of the show was Geraldine. She collapsed on stage during the last lines of her version of "The Winner's Song" from choking on a piece of glitter confetti. R Wayne, not noticing, ended up being the only person actually singing these last lines. After somebody asked for a doctor, "Dr." Neil Fox jumped on stage and attempted to revive her. The following day Kay, in character as Geraldine, was a guest on ''The Chris Moyles Show'' on BBC Radio 1 and revealed that Neil Fox revived her, and she was recovering in an unknown (to her) hospital. She also appeared on Danny Baker's afternoon radio show on BBC London 94.9 three days later where she was still in hospital recovering and she was hoping to get a visit from Pete Waterman. She was also interviewed on Wave 105's breakfast show the following Friday, where she revealed that she was staying at Guy Ritchie's flat.〔(Geraldine McQueen ) Wave 105〕 A follow-up programme, along the lines of the "winner's story" documentaries often produced for real-life talent reality shows, was broadcast on Channel 4 on 19 December 2008. Titled ''Peter Kay's Britain's Got an Extra Pop Factor and Then Some 2 + 1'', the programme was hosted by Ben Shephard who, like Cat Deeley, was formerly closely associated with this type of programme. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Kay's Britain's Got the Pop Factor... and Possibly a New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly on Ice」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
