Ok now I know every one watched the new version with Harry Hill and I have to say I was horrified! In fact I want just horrified I was disappointed, angry, upset and a whole range of other emotions that I can't even think of right now!
Nearly 10 years ago I got my first break working on the show. (During the Cat Deeley days) and it taught me so much! I was proud as hell to have had the chance to work on it and watching the new show the other night made me feel physically sick. (I know other members of the old team felt exactly the same way!) Now I know the show was never taken very serious but It was fun without being silly and actually the number to people who appeared on the show who actually went on to have tv/music careers was amazing. But who ever had the bright idea to put Harry bloody Hill as the front man must have surely been taking some form of medication!
When I think back to those days I have nothing but fond memories! I always found it hilarious that our team was not allowed to be based at ITV studio's due to the fact the head designer smoked like a chimney! (those were the days when you could still smoke inside office buildings) So there we were in a completely different building, our little team squished into 2 rooms no bigger than most peoples bedrooms surrounded by shoes, fabric, bras and sequins (there was an Elvis number with so many sequins and beads on it made you go cross eyed) but we did have a laugh. Very much miss those days, who knows once this degree is out of the way I may find something similar to get back into.
