    The program seems to have become quite diverted from it's original premise, i.e. to provide another act for the Royal Variety. It's just another OTT 'talent' show, and yet somehow people still lap it up

    Ah, thank you, not something I have ever watched. (I did see about 30 seconds of something called "The voice" a few weeks ago - Tom Jones and 3 unknowns playing in swivle chairs to a screaming audience)

    I suppose no different in principle from "Opportunity Knocks" - for those that remember it
    to be fair, Will I Am is hardly an unknown mate, and apart from his music career has done some work for Intel, removed his extended family from the Ghetto and is generally a talented bloke

    as for the show, no idea, dont watch crap
    We're only here for the Banter - The Luvvies - Chewin' The Fat

    Violence and Lubrication is the solution to fixing everything, if it still doesn't work, you need more lubrication.

    The very fact that a dog, who has no talent, only training by rote, won, points to the sickness that is the British voting public
    As I understand it, BGT is a Simon Cowell production. Now I daresay he makes some decent coin from it anyway but clearly, since his main business is running a record company, the main purpose of the show is that he can find new musical acts to sign and make money from.

    And yet the 'British voting public' consistently vote for dance acts, or in this case, a performing dog.

    I'd say that either you're a Cowell fan, or you're doing the 'British voting public' a grave disservice .
