Upstaged (2008)
Upstaged was a 2008 multi-platform talent show aired on the Internet, BBC Red Button and BBC Three. Upstaged contenders were voted into two glass-fronted studios in Millennium Square, Bristol, where they had to entertain for six hours at a time, with only a few breaks allowed. During the heats, acts were chosen by Internet voters, with the winners of each day performing the next day for a maximum of four days in a row. Highlights were shown on BBC Three on Friday nights throughout February 2008 and daily from mid-March, and were presented by DJ Scott Mills. The eight acts who won the most days, or by the highest percentage, made it to the finals week, which started on 24 March. The quarter finalists were bluegrass musicians The Carrivick Sisters, Polekitten pole dancing team, Badger Trap, Perth singer Don1977, Raving Loonies Stole My Heart, Dizzi Dulcimer, Youstage: Vloggers From The UK and wildcard Terry the Odd Job Man, a creation of comedian Jody Kamali, who had knocked singer-songwriter Chris Cohen out at the last minute. The semi-finals were on 28 March when Youstage won against Polekitten and 29 March with Don1977 winning his heat against student comedians Raving Loonies Stole My Heart.
