Editor Reports: Britain’s Got Talent or has it?

Britain’s Got Talent: Has it lost its shine?

Our editor, Doug Lambert, is bored. Bored of ITV talent shows it seems; as he explains in this edition of ATV Reports.

Am I the only one who is utterly bored of Britain’s Got Talent? There have been a mere handful of episodes from the current series but it feels like the Simon Cowell vehicle has been on for months and months.

Surely I can’t be the only ones fed up of reading about various contestants in the endless stream of tabloid stories about them? Surely I can’t be the only one bored of every newbie with a mere scrap of talent being called the “New Susan Boyle”. How can they be the “New Susan Boyle” when Susan Boyle has only been around for a matter of weeks?

Surely such a description can only be applied when the artist concerned has been in the lime-light for years and years? While Boyle-Mania may have died down a bit we’re still subjected to endless tabloid bilge about this the show and quite frankly ATV Reports is bored of it.

But are we alone? Are we the lone voice in the wilderness? Email ATV Today with your thoughts and opinions on the latest series of Britain’s Got Talent.
