Fixes and lies for only 15 minutes of talent
So then, apart from the numerous commercials, the shameful viewers telephone quiz and Dixon pretending to cry what do we actually sit through for the 56 minutes? Quite frankly a lot of meaningless nonsense. The judges arriving, the judges walking upstairs, the judges walking downstairs, David Walliams mum, the David Walliams "I'm gay and I want to have sex with Simon" routine which is becoming incredibly tiresome, endless cutaways of the audience making whimsical comments having been miked up beforehand and film segments of contestants some of whom are filmed even before arriving at the studio?? Some very observant viewers have even noted the obvious edits that take place and this is because the audience are part of the big con. At some stage throughout the show the audiences are asked to take part in "reaction shots" when nobody is even on the stage. They are asked to react as shocked, then surprised, then hysterical and then these shots are edited in as appropriate....shameful. The truth about "Britain's got talent" is that it is a very cleverly constructed TV show following a very specific format that is copied and syndicated throughout the world. Ant and Dec still come across as the cheeky little chaps we all think we know when in fact they are the shrewdest businessmen in the country each owning their own companies since 1997. many of their shows have been the subject of fraud investigations including "Saturday night takeaway" and "gameshow marathon". In 2005 producers of "The British comedy awards" awarded Ant and Dec the peoples choice award when in fact they had overturned the publics real choice "The Catherine Tate show". Ant and Dec....it's a no from me.
