Yeah, the little boy would be an obvious moneyspinner for Cowel's
empire. You could see the ??? ($$$) rolling in his eyes. Though
the boy's young age would make it slightly uncomfortable, given
the kind of material he has to pour out.

The show has too much padding around it; one or two performances
followed by long commercial breaks. It makes it really boring. We
just want to see the acts. But they milk it for all it's worth.

I don't watch BGT - but I do watch a number of American shows on Universal
and Sky Atlantic that are similarly loaded with frequent lengthy ad breaks.
I don't watch any of them 'live' - just record them on the Sky box - and
then whizz through the ad breaks when I do watch them. I watched a couple of
recordings of 'The Defenders' last night. It's on Universal and they have
lengthy ad breaks every ten minutes or so. It's frustrating even when you
can fast forward through them. It would drive me potty if I had to sit
through those breaks at normal speed.

Yeah, I often leave the TV room or switch over, then forgetting which
channel I was originally watching :-). Even BBC has adopted the advertising
format for announcing future programmes, or just for promoting themselves.

It's like trying to compare apples and pears. Pointless. I never
watch.
