Soapstar Superstar
Synopsis
The inevitable (if somewhat belated) celebrity equivalent of Pop Idol. A bunch of soap actors sing and the public vote to kick them off. This show's particular gimmick (apart from it all being soap actors) is that if you vote by SMS, you can also vote for the song that your favoured contestant will sing the following day (assuming they survive). That's about it, really.
