Gameplay

Format

Presented with a group of six "mystery singers" identified only by their occupation, a guest artist and a group of two contestants must attempt to eliminate bad singers from the group without ever hearing them sing, assisted by clues and a celebrity panel over the course of four rounds. At the end of the game, the last remaining mystery singer is revealed as either good or bad by means of a duet between them and one of the guest artists.[1]

Rewards

If the singer is good, the contestants win £10,000; if the singer is bad, the same amount is given to the bad singer instead.

Rounds

Each episode presents the guest artist and contestants six people whose identities and singing voices are kept concealed until they are eliminated to perform on the "stage of truth" or remain in the end to perform the final duet.

Background and development

BBC first announced the development of the series in July 2020.[2] Produced by Naked and Thames (the both production companies as part of Fremantle),[3] the staff team is managed by executive producers Tom O'Brien for Naked, and Amelia Brown and Louis Hutchinson for Thames.[4]

Filming

Filmings for the series took place at The Maidstone Studios, Vinters Park in Maidstone, Kent, in which ITV's rival show Game of Talents also filmed there.[5] The 42nd appeal show of the Children in Need charity broadcast filmed a segment of I Can See Your Voice at Dock10, MediaCityUK in Salford, Greater Manchester.[6] Since the first series, tapings have been implemented health and safety protocols due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Broadcast

History

I Can See Your Voice debuted on 10 April 2021[7][8] despite the viewers complaining that their programming was altered after Prince Philip passed away on 9 April 2021.[9][10] Before the first series finale, the show has been already renewed for the second series premiering in 2022.[11][12]

Special episodes

In the 42nd appeal show of Children in Need charity broadcast on 19 November 2021, the I Can See Your Voice segment[13] featured BBC Breakfast presenter Mike Bushell, newsreader Kate Silverton, and Final Score host Jason Mohammad performing in a lip sync challenge, in which celebrity panellists discovered that Bushell was the bad singer.[14]

As a prelude to the second series, a special celebrity episode with Leona Lewis was aired on the Christmas Eve of 2021.[15][16]
