Michael McIntyre’s Big Show charges into its eighth season, maintaining its winning formula of celebrity cameos, musical performances, and elaborate pranks. This week, darts prodigy Luke Littler steps into the spotlight, assisting McIntyre in a surprise of, well, big proportions. One can only imagine the target of this good-natured ambush, and whether they’ll take it with the same grace as a 180.
Elsewhere, comedian Miranda Hart joins the fray for a new game called “Remember Me.” Knowing Hart’s comedic timing and McIntyre’s penchant for controlled chaos, this segment could be the episode’s highlight. And speaking of controlled chaos, M People’s Heather Small finds herself in the Unexpected Star segment, facing the surprisingly relatable ordeal of being trapped in a lift. Let’s hope she brought her best elevator pitch.
Rounding out the evening’s entertainment, singer-songwriter Calum Scott takes to the stage for a musical performance. As always, Michael McIntyre’s Big Show aims to deliver a reliable dose of Saturday night entertainment. While the format might be familiar, the personalities keep things fresh. And with Luke Littler in the mix, there’s always the potential for a bullseye moment.
Michael McIntyre’s Big Show airs Saturday, February 1, 2025, at 18:50 on BBC One.
