Bo Selecta back for Jackson show Jackson was a regular character on Bo' Selecta Comedian Leigh Francis is to bring back Bo Selecta for a one-off Michael Jackson special, Channel 4 has said. Bo Selecta Presents Cha'Mone: A Tribute to Michael Jackson will be a spoof "chronological look at Michael Jackson's life". Francis will don rubber masks to portray Jackson as well as some of his friends - including Uri Geller and David Gest - for the one-hour special. There will also be celebrity guests on the show, due to air on E4 this autumn. "We're thrilled to have Leigh resurrect Bo Selecta for a very special send-off and send-up," said E4 controller Angela Jain. "This national treasure and icon will be making an affectionate and, no doubt, hilarious tribute." Francis said Jackson's death was "like the death of superman, or the realisation that there was no such thing as Santa Claus". Francis' spoof version of Jackson was featured throughout the three series of Bo Selecta, which ran from 2002 to 2004. The show also featured surreal send-ups of stars including Craig David, Will Young and former Spice Girls singer Melanie Brown.
