''Chart Throb'' presents itself as the ultimate pop quest - successor to X-factor, Pop Idol and all the other search-for-a-star type programmes. But as the producer and senior panel judge, Calvin Simms repeatedly points out: it is not a talent show. It is an entertainment show. It is not about finding new talented singers, it's about making ''good telly''. "Good telly" of course, is defined by whatever the viewers want to watch.
