Ultimately, the BGT panel is in need of a refresh- I’m generally an ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ kind of person but the panel has been tired the last few years- for its first 3 years or so it was easily one of the best judging panels on television, but it’s absolutely time to change things up a bit- I feel there’s been more attention-seeking antics from the panel the last couple of series than there was in their first few.
I feel losing BGMT hurt BGT’s main show- made it feel less eventful without the post-show lookback (you only have to look at the ratings since)- I’m glad Stephen is back for the Christmas special but don’t think they should have dropped him or BGMT in the first place really- in some ways the spin-off was better than the main show. I think BGT’s days are limited- the talent in more recent series has been very underwhelming, and again, with somewhat lacklustre talent, it makes the show feel less eventful- it all feels very holiday camp now.
