October 17, 20204 yr That's a good point. I've always found the booing at negative comments, even when it is constructive criticism, extremely tiresome. The lack of that made it easier for judges to be honest. I liked Ahsley Banjo's comments on one of the finalists which was along the lines of "Your act isn't really my thing, but you were good at what you do". That would have been met with overblown catcalls from the audience if there had been one.
October 17, 20204 yr I think what they need to do more of is have the acts who are basically doing the same thing in the same semi final so they can cancel one another out and we end up with a more balanced final. Like put kid magic acts against one another, kid singers, dance troups (this was kinda a rare final where the dance act in there was a duo and a very strong one at that). I agree the judges comments seemed better with the no audience it’s always an irk when you hear booooo at anything bad especially when the acts something like that dinosaur who roared to a David Guetta track :lol:

January 7, 20214 yr BGT filming is not going ahead for the new series. It sounds as if the current aim is either to film over Summer (Covid permitting) to air in Autumn or maybe even cancel this year. I'm not surprised at all - the wheels have been coming off BGT this past year and it doesn't appear to have worked in the Covid world (the last series really missed the big audience / theatre setting for the lives). ITV will have seen flop BGT Champions series, followed by lower rating Covid disrupted series and massive flop Christmas special that barely managed 3m viewers overnight and rightly thought, it's not worth it with the health and safety challenges that they're facing to get the series to air before Autumn.
January 7, 20214 yr Author Yeah I think it'll be worth taking a year out, wait to do it properly in 2022. The massive gap between the auditions and the live shows didn't help at all
January 29, 20214 yr It's now been confirmed by ITV that BGT won't be filmed or aired until 2022. Seems the right decision to me!

January 30, 20214 yr Author Not surprised, it wouldn't have worked well at all this year - it'll be interesting to see if they make any changes to the show for 2022!
January 30, 20214 yr Not surprised, it wouldn't have worked well at all this year - it'll be interesting to see if they make any changes to the show for 2022! It honestly wouldn't surprise me if Simon gets X factor style trigger happy and shakes up something in the format and/or judges (which have remained the same for 10 years now).
December 14, 20213 yr RIP, as much as I never really watched BGMT it'll be a shame to not see him pop up every year.
