Rizzle Kicks and Nick Grimshaw film Channel 4 TV show pilotsRizzle Kicks and Nick Grimshaw have shot two new music show pilots for Channel 4. 'Mama Do The Hump' stars Jordan Stephens and Harley Alexander-Sule filmed a test show for the programme Smells Like Friday Night. BBC Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw meanwhile shot a pilot for fellow newbie That Music Show. Hour-long magazine style show Smells Like Friday Night is all about "mixing appointment-to-view music performances with cutting edge comedy and chat to capture the Channel 4 Friday night feeling viewers know and love." That Music Show meanwhile is "set in an iconic music venue with a vibrant award-style feel and combines a competitive year vs. year pop quiz with a raucous music gig". Channel 4's Music Commissioning Editor Jonathan Rothery meanwhile commented: "We said last year that we wanted to provide a bigger platform for music on Channel 4 and the response from indies has been amazing - around fifty companies pitched over one hundred ideas. We’ve chosen these two fresh approaches to take to pilot, with a view to commissioning a full series for later this year."
