If you haven’t seen the show, this won’t make any sense whatsoever.

Indeed, even if you have seen the show, you may still be wondering how something quite so ridiculous got off the ground.

But Glee’s winning formula – daft plots, paper-thin characters and OTT camp cover versions of world’s-my-oyster power ballads such as Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’, Rihanna’s Take A Bow and Queen’s Somebody To Love – isn’t going anywhere.

“Volume 1”, apparently. Brrrr.
