Fame Academy is the name of televised competition to search and to educate musical talents and to award the best contestant with a chance to become a successfull musicartist. The programme was broadcast by the BBC and was co-produced by Initial, an Endemol company.
Although it was viewed by critics as a similar and alternative format to the Pop Idol series, it was presented as a relative new concept. It also featured live performances and was also partly reality television. But the contestants here are called 'students' and are required to be spend a period of ten weeks inside Witanhurst House located in Highgate, North London as part of their musicial education offered by Fame Academy, which included fitness/dancing classes, individual vocal coaching and personal development periods.
It was partly reality television, because the daily lives of the students inside the mansion could be watched through live streaming via Freeview. This was accomplished through the installments of 'spycamera's' throughout the mansion.
Coverage of the show was widely done on BBC One, BBC Three, BBC Prime and the CBBC Channel.
Unlike Pop Idol, Fame Academy also emphasised on the creative side of the students, such as writing their own songs and compositions. This was done through masterclasses with accomplished songwriters and musicians.
The show produced three series.
- Fame Academy; Class of 2002
- Fame Academy; Class of 2003
- Celebrity Fame Academy (spin-off format set up for the Comic Relief charity)
