Britain’s Got Talent: The best example of Saturday Night Entertainment

Britain DOES HAVE TALENT!: I can’t even get my dog to sit!
I have never missed an episode of Britain's Got Talent. Never missed an audition, never missed a semi-final, never missed a link from Ant & Dec and never missed a open shirt moment from Simon Cowell. I remember how excited I was back in 2007 when the...

Luke on TV – Big Brother, Benidorm and Brits with Talent
I swear I’ll never mature as year after year I’m sucked into Big Brother, both irritated and strangely fascinated. Here’s my view of the 16 non housemates. Freddie - This posh lad who has a strange obsession with furry hats is by no means the most irritating of the,...
Britain’s Got Talent final, ITV1
Did we like it? A very pleasing result ended a week of great entertainment. We love this show and hope it has a few years of life still in it. What was good about it? • Simon Cowell didn't get his own way. His favoured Faryl Smith and Escala finished among the...
Britain’s Got Talent semi-finals, ITV1
Friday How we rated them 1. Escala: four pretty ladies handled their instruments with deftness and finesse during a lively Live and Let Die. 2. Craig Harper: the over-emotional "killing mesself for me kids" northern comic spoofed Shirley Bassey and Enrique Iglesias...
Britain’s Got Talent, ITV1
Did we like it? A bit of a ramshackle edition with the auditions crammed in before the umming and aahing over the semi-final line-up. What was good about it? • We think most of the acts we liked got through to the live events, although the selection segment was so...
Britain’s Got Talent, ITV1

Britain’s Got Talent, ITV1
Did we like it? With a decent mix of entertaining good and bad acts, this was much better than last week's low. What was good about it? • While we loved 12-year-old Faryl Smith's Ave Maria, it has ruined the competition because she's a shoo-in for the ultimate prize....
Britain’s Got Talent, ITV1
Did we like it? Not much. The old and young were patronised, the mentally ill were ridiculed and even the star of the night didn't shine very brightly. What was good about it? • Football juggling Jeremy and exotic bellydancer Sophie. Singer Dean Wilson wasn't bad but...
Britain’s Got Talent, ITV1
Did we like it? The weakest programme so far was just about rescued with the heartwarming finale. What was good about it? • The heartwarming finale with little dancer George Sampson, discarded last year but coming back with a sensational routine and earning a...
Britain’s Got Talent, ITV1
Did we like it? We did, a lot, apart from the spurious stories spun by Ant and Dec ("it's been a bad morning in Birmingham"). What was good about it? • The two young Charlies. Ten-year-old jazz singer Charlie Green was the sensation of the show with Summer Wind;...
