Hit Me, Baby, One More Time (TV series)
Hit Me, Baby, One More Time is a television entertainment show first broadcast on the British television network ITV and later, as a new version, by NBC in the United States; both were presented by Vernon Kay. During each programme, five former pop stars sing their biggest hit along with a cover version of a contemporary hit. Each week one winner is picked from each show by a phone vote or a studio-audience vote, leading to the grand final when the overall winner can release a single featuring both songs or have $20,000 donated to a charity of their choice. The show's title was derived from a line in the Britney Spears song "...Baby One More Time".
The show proved to be a summer hit for NBC, hitting the top spot in the ratings on its first outing. Despite its success, the show was cancelled.
