    Became 'Britain's run out of talent' a few years back. Even the few good ones are mainly foreign.

    First 3 or 4 series were good though.

    Acts now make the final based on, race, religion, cute, and pure political correctness. Yes, I know it's a public vote, but if you believe that ! Then good luck.

    When Simon Cowell is praising people who couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, we are in trouble. The comedian Wednesday night was really pretty good, perhaps a little near the line for BGT. The panel said they didn't understand his jokes !

    My wife watches the shows which means I sometimes have to and I'll give you that.

    Watched out of habit now and wishing I hadn't.

    Most of the acts are average at best and some are pretty poor.

    The only one who has had me murmuring approval is the comedian with the tank tops.

    Alesha Dixon is the ONLY reason to watch this crap.

    Why are Dixon, Holden and Walliams even judges in the first place?

  • 1st series of bgt I've ever watched & I've begrudgingly enjoyed it. Alesha Dixon is so fit!

    Dec has proven he's more than capable as a solo presenter

    I'd have to disagree. He has single-handedly allowed me to laugh at other peoples misfortunes again, without being made to feel guilty about it.

    It's like we're back in the 80's.

    I personally found the comedian with autism a bit ott personally, like the welsh opera singer lad, the magician with the painting is good yet again more urban dance troups which I find as entertaining as watching paint dry

    Probably due to the cerebral palsy.

    The no voice man is fresh and funny, but his act seems to revolve around one joke! Mind you, you can say that about quite a few comedians! Would be interesting to see how he develops it! You can of course find a handful of good acts, but these were good acts before the show! And they are heavily diluted with so much rubbish.

    Don't usually like dance acts but I actually enjoyed the routine of those alien guys last night. Thought it was more entertaining than the Diversity wannabes.

    It is because it was different - It still wasn't great though! But if I wanted to watch kids singing or dancing, I'd go to a school production! Actually, that might look a bit dodgy so I probably wouldn't. But I don't want to see it because all the mums and dads who go to those productions keep looking at their watches! I know, I have been there!

    I do think singing should not be allowed in bgt, there are already too many shows dedicated to it.

    I've got no problem with it yet think the Semi-Finals should be categorised based on what your there to do

    i.e. One Night for Singers | One for Dancers | One for Comedy | One for Variety etc.

    As it is we've currently got a Final of two Comedians (one of those "sings"), six singers and a dance group

    I guess though as Simon said yesterday; Comedy isnt his branch so wanted David's opinion on Noel James

    You're not looking to ground share with Luton, are you?

    I think Palarsehater is referring to the one with Aspergers.

    Don't think I could sit through a whole show of one category! Going to be a painful final for me with all those singers but the gf loves it so expect I will have to suffer it.

    Just keep reminding her that you watching this for her, is preparation for her watching the whole World Cup with you

    Back in 2001 ish 15 year old me met Alesha Dixon, she was hot as.....in real life and I had a little trouble hiding my appreciation of her looks from her, she was also lovely.

    As for BGT, meh....its not been great for a few years now.
