BBC One's Frank Sinatra: Our Way saw seven relatively unknown acts from across the UK performing covers of Sinatra classics.
After singing in front of a panel of judges (consisting of Rufus Hound, Mica Paris, Leo Green and Dave Stewart), the winner was then decided and won the chance to perform at a special Frank Sinatra centenary concert in 2015.
But what did you think of BBC One's tribute to Sinatra? Digital Spy rounds up reactions on Twitter below:
It may only be the 3rd of January but I think we have already found our 'Worst Show of 2015' #FrankSinatraOurWay

Exclusive: Germany-set drama and TV mini-series in works.
Like Water Like Chocolate director Alfonso Arau is in development with Bagdad Café writer Chris Doherty on 1930’s-set drama The Crime of Love, about an illicit love affair between two German officers in Nazi Germany.
Carsten Lorenz is on board to produce the project, which is being exced by Mark Holdon with Arri Worldwide in talks to handle sales.
“I was looking for a great love story,” Arau told Screen. “Germany in the 1930s was such an interesting and intense period in history that I knew I wanted to set this love story at that time.”
“This project, like the greatest romance of all, Romeo and Juliet, is about real love in a world where such love is prohibited.”
Arau’s hit romance-drama Like Water for Chocolate was nominated for a BAFTA in 1994.
Latest directorial effort L’imbroglio nel lenzuolo (2010) starred Maria Grazia Cucinotta and Geraldine Chaplin.

Scranton, Pa. — NBC's long-running "The Office" was a faux documentary about cubicle life. The Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin Paper Co. didn't exist.
Try telling that to merchants, tourism officials and regular folks here in the real-world city of 76,000, for whom the Emmy-winning comedy – which ends its nine-season run next week – had a tangible and lasting impact.
Even though "The Office" was shot in California, it was set in Scranton, and every "Office" booze cruise on Lake Wallenpaupack, shopping excursion to the Steamtown mall and after-work party at Poor Richard's Pub meant real cash in real registers as the show's intensely loyal fans flocked to northeastern Pennsylvania to see where their favorite characters lived, worked and played.
"If people weren't talking about Scranton before this show aired," said Tracy Barone, executive director of the Lackawanna County Convention and Visitors Bureau, "they were talking about it afterward."

To see Chris Brown and Rihanna smiling and looking happy in their coupledom at the Grammys, one wouldn’t think that the bad boy singer was in a nasty car crash just hours prior to the event. Breezy was driving around in his Porsche this Saturday in L.A when he got mobbed by paparazzi. A spokesperson for the singer explained their side of the story in a detailed statement that read, “The occupants jumped out, with cameras, and aggressively approached his [Brown's] vehicle. In an effort to remove himself from the situation, he began to back down an alley, at which point he was cut off by two additional vehicles. Chris’ vehicle was totaled due to this aggressive pursuit by the paparazzi. He is okay.” We may not be the biggest Brown fans, but if this is what actually went down, then it crosses this line in so many different ways.

Singer Chris Brown had a bit of a fender bender on Saturday (Feb. 9), when his car hit a wall at the intersection of Bedford Drive and the Camden Drive alley in Los Angeles.
In a press release from the Beverly Hills Police Department, Brown stated that he was being chased by paparazzi, which is what caused him to lose control of his Porsche. Later, Brown's rep released a statement that the accident was caused by "aggressive pursuit by the paparazzi."
But the paparazzi are telling a different story.
Chris Doherty, owner of Inf, the photography agency that employs all the photographers that were at the scene of the crash, tells TMZ that his photographers had "nothing to do with Chris Brown crashing."
"No photographers were following him at the time he crashed," Doherty continues. "He crashed his car and it's convenient for him to blame us. He needs to be careful with his defamatory statements.
