British Comedy Guide, 23rd August 2016Let's hope Blankety Blank doesn't get Keith Lemon
The best possible thing that could happen to Blankety Blank now is if someone like Paddy McGuinness took over and oversaw a ho-hum photocopy of the original show. But this is ITV. We cannot rule out the horrible prospect of Keith Lemon's Blankety Blank. Look at Through the Keyhole, once a respected if smug BBC One series that ITV snapped up and transformed into a witless totem to endless, tortuous, shrieking, pointless, Lambrini-drinking, grunting, cheapskate, empty-calorie Keith Lemon muck. If ITV has the power to do that to Through the Keyhole, imagine what a mess it would make of Blankety Blank.
