Excitement! Nice to see they're keeping the same set of Judges, consistency always works well on BGT as it helps build camaraderie between the panel.

There's rumours going around that each judge now (officially) has 2 Golden Buzzers, after they were used quite randomly last year. I hope not! They seem to really devalue their impact, and with presumably 9 of them (including Ant & Dec's), almost 1/4 of the semi-final acts will have received a Golden Buzzer!

I can see both sides of it - it does mean that less acts who haven't been golden buzzered can make it in, but it does mean more 'spontaneous' acts who might not make it through by general consensus could potentially make the semis - if Golden Buzzers are done how they should be of course.

True, although it's been a long time since the Golden Buzzer has been used on any divisive acts - and that was only ever the case with David Walliams' choices IIRC. Most (if not all) Golden Buzzer choices seem to be acts who would easily get through anyway. I don't blame them really though, they seem to love making Golden Buzzer compilation videos on YouTube so they likely make more buzz online than a standard audition.

I haven't watched this since series 13, would be good to get back into it again.

As ever, looking forward to it. Hopefully Bruno has settled in!

A new spin-off series 'BGT Reacts' has been announced for ITVX - I wish they'd just bring back BGMT!

Yeah, I'd prefer BGMT too but I think this is a better attempt at an ITVX spin-off thing than the BGT Unseen thing they did a few years ago.
I'm a massive fan of the show and I wasn't interested. It needed more around it. |

I'm not sure. BGT Unseen did what it said on the tin I suppose. I'd rather watch an extra audition than some "content creators" talking heads comment on what I've just seen! Past BGT contestants should be a little more interesting though.

To celebrate 15 years (!) since Susan Boyle's audition was aired on TV, the BGT YouTube channel has released some previously unseen footage featuring her from the show:

Yeah, I did like the talking head "look back" shows they would do for More Talent every year before the series starts because they had old contestants on.

I always enjoyed those! It's a shame they haven't made + shown any updated ones, they can't cost much to make. |

Yeah, even if they just do them for YouTube or whatever. It's nice to hear of behind the scenes stuff too.They like to look back at SuBo and Diversity (obviously as that year was another level) but there's so many other great acts too. |

If the rumours about multiple Golden Buzzers are to be believed, there will be at least 1 in every audition episode and sometimes 2!
I'm not able to watch live tonight - looking forward to it later though. |

Indeed - two in this one! A mix of acts - some fairly 'normal' UK acts which was good to see and the first Golden Buzzer act was good. Still making my mind up around my views on Lucy coming back but there's no denying she was good!
