Thanks.
Anyway, if you want to see Keith Lemon’s Through the Keyhole, they’re filming a pilot on Tuesday February 19th. Tickets via ApplauseStore.
The studio audience have a big part in the show as they give a helping hand by applauding every time the panel make a good guess, so make sure you get your hands ready!!!

Here’s a random game from Youtube. Who lives in a house loiike this?
Meanwhile 1001 Things You Should Know are looking for contestants for next series, deadline Feb 10th.
Came up with a better Keith Lemon reference than I did when I broke this on Gallifrey Base. Well done, Brig.
Somebody shoot me. I can’t STAND Keith Lemon one bit…
I have a horrible suspicion that someone at ITV made exactly that gag, and someone else responded “Commission x40”. Must be nice to have that sort of power, if not a little scary.
Alternatively, it could be a low-profile way to blow off a Leigh Francis “x shows per year” guarantee if the conclusion is that he’s not doing it for them in anything other than Celebrity Juice.
I’m intrigued by the set up. I’m going to presume it’s going to have Keith going round the houses as well as in studio. It’d be fun if they could get Loyd Grossman though wouldn’t it?
Jesus, they’ve taken one of the dullest formats of yesteryear and attached one of the absolute worst “comedians” of today.
I just know this’ll wind up being a hit, but I sure as hell won’t be happy about it.
I don’t think it’ll be a massive hit, but don’t underestimate how successful the boring original was! It survived at least two changes of channel and flipped between primetime and daytime for the best part of twenty-five years.
Hopefully this will be about as big a hit as LemonAid – a show which no doubt won’t return otherwise we wouldn’t be seeing this.
Doesn’t Sir D. Paradine Frost own the rights to the show?
So they means they can’t deviate too much from the original format.
But why do I have the nagging doom-laded feeling that if Leigh/Keith does go around the houses, he will use it as a opportunity/excuse to plant objects for a very cheap laugh.
(parents, cover the ears of the very young for a moment)
for female clebs – battery operated ‘pleasure giving’ objects, and in male households, magazines of a high shelf reaching nature.
Given it’s Lemon, the celebs featured will be of a z-list nature, so it’ll be an endless treadmill of reality tv or failed x-factor contestants.
And if it does go down this road, then it may end up as a head-on smash of Through The Keyhole and Dame Edna’s Neighbourhood Watch.
The capping from th audience was exactly the reason why I hated Throooo the keyhole.
Is this person a man? – Deadly silence. A woman? – Humungous applause,panellist very smug 🙂
Clapping I meant..
I always really liked it when they’d basically just repeat something Loyd pointed out in his presentation, and then got applause for it.
Your guess is as good as mine:

“It’s just throwing balls in a bucket, but can you do it… Not In A Cube?”
Might it be a revival of Ant and Dec’s friends gameshow they did once for the bbc ages ago? 5 friends vs 5 friends, each plays a challenge, winning team playing for holiday tickets?
Friends Like These? Different production company, so would be a surprise. It might have a similar idea though.
I’d stick a couple of coins on some of the games that were pencilled in for Reflex, finding a home in this show…
Well, that’s a prescient comment because it turns out this *is* Reflex after all. It’s the format that won’t die!
It’s the show they ALL wanted!
