Basic Format
Each show is in two parts (possibly subsequent nights or
either side of the News) to allow time for viewer voting,
an important source of revenue and consumer interaction.
The first show sets the personnel in place. After that the
format is fixed.
Unsuccessful acts can reapply.
The Agent for the Winning Act is also requested to joint
the Estate Panel.
The following is a brief outline of the shows format.
