The BBC's search for a Joseph show 'Any Dream Will Do?' won the talent show ratings war on Saturday night, with an estimated 8.5 million people tuning in to see Lee Mead declared the winner. Rival show 'Grease Is The Word' on ITV pulled in just 4.9 million when Danny Bayne and Susan McFadden were named their winners. All of which means that overall the BBC show averaged 5.8 million viewers per edition, while the Simon Cowell produced ITV rip off scored just 3.9 million. Though, from what my West End sources tell me, ticket sales for the eternally popular Grease are going better than tickets for the Lee Mead fronted Joseph, so the Cowell venture may get the last laugh. And I bet their soundtrack charts higher.
