NO NO NO, not another god awful fuggin reality show, i like many others are sick to the fuggin gills with these shite shows.
I'd rather see the Bat show as more a rock revue show, similar in style to the many loaf tribute shows, West End stage show, it'll die with the rest of the Juke Box shows.

I'm a rocker, a biker, a West End theatre will target the wrong demographic, i believe you need to target the rock fans not the theatre goers.
