LAST CHOIR STANDING

Exhilarating primetime entertainment series on BBC Entertainment.

Last Choir Standing is to be presented on BBC Entertainment (channel 120 on DStv) on Sundays at 19h30 from January 17.

Singing in choirs is one of Britain’s favourite pastimes, with over 25,000 registered choirs and at least half a million members across the country. Last Choir Standing is an exhilarating primetime entertainment series, presented by Myleene Klass and Nick Knowles, in which choral groups from across the nation go head to head to find out who has the power and passion needed to be the Last Choir Standing.

Thousands of choirs from diverse communities and singing any style of music send in their applications on video, and the best are invited to perform in front of a panel of judges. From these, the most outstanding make it to the call-backs, where they perform in front of a live studio audience in a battle for the 15 places in the heats. They need to show they have both the technical ability and the enthusiasm to bring their songs to life.

In each edition of the show, two choirs go through to the live 'knockouts' where their fate is decided by the audience. Three choirs make it through to the finale, in which the most rousing performance will earn one of them the title of Last Choir Standing.
