Fame Academy - It WILL be back!!!

[Kaz]

Especially for you, Splodge - READ THIS! (http://media.guardian.co.uk/broadcast/story/0,7493,948328,00.html)

Fame Academy, the £4.5m reality show that was dubbed "Lame Academy" by critics before belatedly becoming a ratings success, is making a surprise return to BBC1.

. . . . . . . . .

Auditions for the next series will begin around the country shortly. Although a BBC spokeswoman refused to confirm when the series would be broadcast, it is likely to go out in autumn with Cat Deeley and Patrick Kielty again presenting.

Hurray!!! :hello: :hello:

Best news I've had for days. I agree Splodge - fan-bloody-tastic indeed

As a lot of you know I loved this show and I'm so glad the BBC have seen sense and recommissioned it. A lot of people on various sites on the net have literally bombarded the Beeb with emails and petitions demanding it's return. It seems that this, coupled with the success of Celeb FA may have done the trick.

EXCELLENT NEWS!!!

:hello::hello::hello::hello::hello::hello::hello:: hello::hello:

[peachy]

I'll also definitely be watching Fame Academy if it's on at the same time as Pop Idol. Like you Mairi, I also bombarded the Beeb.

I love it when a plan comes together, as someone once said. Well done us band of FA fans!:laugh:

[Boris]

We owe you and your outlook express a debt of GRATITUDE

You will be rewarded by the new programme of FAME ACAD.

I can't wait.

Peachy , your 'mood' says you are feeling Frisky......just WHO have you been chatting to today ?

[steve_o]

Oh noooooo... :sleep::thumbs: I'll have to go for a long walk. :shocked: Whatever happened to bands that played there own instruments. :dazzler::dazzler::dazzler:

:spin:

[Kaz]

Errrrrr, Steve - unless I'm very much mistaken, David Sneddon does play his own piano!!! :laugh:

[Mairi]

There were actually very few people, Katy was certainly one of them, who didn't play a musical instrument, Steve.

:dazzler::dazzler::dazzler:

[steve_o]

Oh well that's okay then. Still won't be watching it. Bring back ABBA :thumbs::dance::dazzler::dazzler::dance:

:spin:

[Kaz]

Nearly forgot to mention . . . . . did anyone else see the advert on BBC1 tonight (I think it was before or after Eastenders) for Fame Academy 2, inviting people to apply to come along to the auditions for the new series.

That really brought it home to me that there WILL be a second series!

:hello: :dazzler: :hello:

[susieq]

I'm also pleased FA is coming back. It's a really good showcase for people who undoubtedly have talent but just need the opportunity to show it to a wider audience.

Still won't be watching it.


Did you not watch it last year then Steve? You should give it a go - you never know, you may find someone there you like and who does the sort of music you're into - maybe a bit of ABBA?? (Fab group - loved them).

[steve_o]

I'll give it a go, at least then I'll know what your all talking about threw the winter. :blush::thumbs:

:spin:

[susieq]

I'll give it a go, at least then I'll know what your all talking about threw the winter.


Good man - you know it makes sense!! http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forum/images/smilies/thumbs.gif

[Boris]

I'll give it a go, at least then I'll know what your all talking about threw the winter.


If you like music, the entertainment world and reality TV, you can't fail to enjoy...so welcome on board in advance.:wavey:


Honest Steve...you will love it too I am sure.

:hello: :dazzler: :hello:

I saw the advert before the Madonna interview :thumbs::thumbs: I really did'nt think they'd do another FA :shocked: So i'm really happy they've changed their minds :thumbs: :hello: :thumbs:

[Amy]

The Fame Academy official website has been updated Click Here (http://www.bbc.co.uk/fameacademy/index.shtml) :hello:

[em]

anyone who emailed and asked for another series -

what did yous ay in your emails because I'm seriously hoping this time round, since it looks as though it is against PI2, that they show some audition stuff so people can chose their favourites early on, and also for nightly shows like BB. Did anyone mention this kind of thing in their emails?

Im already lookin forward to it! PI is just kareoke to me now after FA.
