Britain’s Got Talent

SATURDAY / ITV / 8PM

The stage is set, those loud, red buzzers are primed and ready, and there are some nervous hopefuls waiting to perform. It can mean only one thing – it’s time for the return of ITV hit Britain’s Got Talent!

Once again, judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon have been travelling the length and breadth of the UK hoping to uncover all manner of singers, dance troupes, talented pets, death-defying daredevils and everything in between for the show’s 12th series.

As the auditions roll into London, TV Times pops along to the iconic London Palladium to discover what kind of talent our capital city has to offer.

As hosts Ant and Dec come onto the stage and introduce the judges, the crowd goes wild. When Simon congratulates the presenting duo on winning their 17th National Television Award, David reminds everyone about his own NTA win – for Britain’s Best TV Judge.

As the judges get comfortable in their seats, now all we need is some talent. And it seems it’s going to take a lot to please Simon today. As he labels one particular act ‘boring’, he’s met with a chorus of boos from the audience. Even Dec emerges sheepishly from backstage wondering if it’s safe to continue!
