It is a British television comedy show that was developed, written, directed, and produced by comedian Peter Kay and stars him as the title character. It broadcast twice on Channel 4 on October12,2008, for a total of two hours. The show's title and overall format are a spoof of talent-based reality television series. The title of the show is an amalgamation of other talent-search reality shows as well as a stage show, in the following order: Britain's Got Talent, Pop Idol, The X Factor, celebrity versions of pre-existing shows, Jesus Christ Superstar, Soapstar Superstar, Strictly Come Dancing, and Dancing on Ice. Additionally, Britain's Got The Pop Factor serves as a title for a fictional series within the show, in which Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly on Ice serves as the name of another fictional talent show, into which the winner of Britain's Got The Pop Factor is automatically entered after winning the show's main competition. A promotional video for the show's "sequel," which will be performed the following year, was shown as the credits rolled. When You're in the Jungle is a mashup of the British reality show I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! and the musical Fiddler on the Roof, among other things.
