Bo'Selecta is BACK!!!

[ziggysego]

E4 has commissioned a one-off Bo' Selecta show to pay tribute to the late Michael Jackson, it has been announced.

Cha'Mone: A Tribute To Michael Jackson will see Leigh Francis revive his Jackson mask and persona, as well as feature new characterisations of Uri Geller and David Gest.

Head of E4 Angela Jain said: "We're thrilled to have Leigh resurrect Bo' Selecta for a very special send-off, send-up. This national treasure and icon will be making an affectionate and no doubt hilarious tribute to Mr Jackson."

Francis added: "People likened it to the death of Elvis Presley or John Lennon. To me it was like the death of superman, or the realisation that there was no such thing as Santa Claus.

"How could a staple of my childhood be no more? I wonder if Michael Jackson had ever seen Bo' Selecta!? This is my tribute to the King of Pop."

The special show is due to air later this year on E4.

I have to say I saw the promo for this and it just looked very cheap to me! Bo to me was just one joke that went on too long.

kinda like Little Britain

Can't wait for this, big Bo fan. Leigh Francis was on This Morning the other day as himself talking about it, a very shy man who hides beind characters basically! Michael Jackson was always my favourite character he did, closely followed by Mel B. Ya bastards ya!

The first 2 series were class. Then it just got played out a bit. Good to see it back after a long break. Michael Jackson, Mel B and Craiiiiiig David were class characters.

Great craic 

Nice touch at the end.

Though it was poor enough last night. Was too much of the one character.

That's a serious allegation your making Ziggy about Michael Jackson and touching!
