Planet's Got Talent Commissioned By ITV
ITV has commissioned a new six-part series, Planet's Got Talent.
From the producers of Britain's Got Talent, the 6 x 30' series will be produced by Thames, part of FremantleMedia UK, and Syco Entertainment. Warwick Davis will narrate the series which is due to air in early 2015.
An international ratings' phenomenon, Got Talent is officially the most successful reality television format in the world (Guinness Book of Records, 2014), with 230 series across 67 different territories.
With regards to Planet's Got Talent, it will highlight the incredible acts from across the globe, from countries as diverse as the UK and US, to Albania and Vietnam.
Throughout the series, Warwick wittily steers us through the hilarious, show-stopping, heart-pumping performances, and with thousands of hours' worth of footage to choose from, every clip is unforgettable – whether for the right or wrong reasons!
Some of the unforgettable moments to feature on Planet's Got Talent include a Korea's Got Talent contestant who likes to rub Wasabi and lemons into his eyes, as well as an Indonesia's Got Talent hopeful who washes himself in boiling soup.
Other acts who stand out include backflipping dogs, a woman who drives a scooter through 20 panes of glass – without a helmet, and a man who plays the violin whilst balancing two wine glasses, a ball and four shots on his bow at the same time.
Commenting on the show, Warwick Davis said: "Each week, I'll be treating viewers to the top-pick clips from Got Talent shows from across the globe – some funny, some odd, some awe inspiring... all brilliant!"
