The show is presented live and centres on various entertainment acts by -often unknown- performers. Each act performs in a head to head showdown with celebrity judges, Dave Spikey, Max Clifford and Chuck Harris and an 'armchair panel' of 101 viewers at home deciding which was best.[1] The winners went through to the final later in the evening, where a public vote decides who would win the weekly £10,000 prize. Winners of the four shows include the Skating Aratas,[2] Red Hot Chilli Pipers[3] and British boy vocal group Libera.[4]
