Paul O'Grady to host 'Opportunity Knocks'

Paul O’Grady's production company has approached the BBC in the hope of bringing back the talent show Opportunity Knocks.

The Channel 4 chat show host wants to revive the much-used format in a prime time slot on Saturday nights.

The new version will include many of the trademarks from the original programme if it gets approval from the BBC, including the notorious 'clapometer'.

The Sun quoted an insider as saying: “We want it to be a talent show with people who can actually do something the public love.”
