I still think a casting show is the ultimate publicity.
If ALW does take a break in 2009 (which he says he might do...hmmmm), the Beeb or ITV will almost certainly want to fill the gap.
Bat is loved in the UK (probably more so than anywhere else), and I think a show could be great (for Jim and the musical).
'Like a Bat Out of Hell' - Get Meat & Bonnie on as judges, and fuck the 'Bat 3 legal problems'.
And forget the 'merit' of the casting element, which is almost secondary. These shows are about publicity and advance ticket sales, and work wonders.
Only needs Jim to agree to do it (head judge), and the producers to pull their fingers out and sort it.
Every week I can see the TV studio done up to look like Hell, and a minature Bat musical on TV....live band in leather, Cirque du Soleil elements, motorbikes, fire etc etc...oh and some type of casting competition.
Tickets will go like hotcakes!!
Even if Jim doesn't like these shows, I think he will be a fool not to consider it, if they have the chance.
