That magician lad is great. Hes from County Meath a stones throw from Dublin.

Also loved the Ugandan kids. Brought tears to my eyes.

The farting man though.... I could have farted a better balloon pop than him.

Don't really get the Ugandan kid hype but don't begrudge them their audition like I've seen others say.

Really bizarre they put acts like the farting man through with Simon taking away his buzzer but will mock the woman who did the object imitations (which were shocking) no consistency

There are already 2 other threads on BGT!

Mouldyfoodhelp · 15/04/2023 21:46

Tbf I looked for a telly addicts BGT thread a few minutes ago and didn't see one, one was moaning about foreign contestants, so If there isn't another one on telly addicts to talk about the show as a whole throughout the series I don't see the problem

I only saw the one slating people from outside the UK applying so started this one about the actual show.

This. I also looked and found nothing positive so started this one.

Looking forward to tomorrow night :)

That's fair enough. Telly Addicts is where I also looked first and would expect a thread to be 🎊

LOVED the young magician and HATED the farting man I can't stand that type of humour

Yeah farting on tv as a talent is rather a moot talent IMO.

Darth vadar at the start baffled me as did that lady with her bread impressions but fair play to her brain thinking it up!

I didn't realise Bruno was a new judge. I thought it was Martin Kemp at first glance. Think I need my eyes testing. I taped it so can fast forward through rubbish bits.

I have no idea who Bruno is at all. One of the kids here was fuming that Howie is gone.

Belledan1 · 15/04/2023 22:32

He was a Judge in strictly. Who is Howie?

He was there the past few years. Howie Mandel. Loved his comedy.

Ignore me. I know who Howie is!

I remembered after I posted. Thanks. Xx

Piggywaspushed · 15/04/2023 23:00

However Mandel didn't do BGT! We had the dubious honour of David Walliams.

Piggywaspushed · 15/04/2023 23:01

Howie...spellcheck fail!

Rowthe · 15/04/2023 23:34

Loved the Ghetto kids.

The farting man was hilarious, my kids were laughing their arses off. But I was just cringing. I did feel sorry for home when he failed the second time.

But just was wondering when he blew those candle out, I was expecting the fire to get bigger rather than go out? With methane it should increase in size???
I was a bit confused and then wondered if it was fake and he had some kind of contraption in the stick that blew out air and made sound effects.

Disappointed with the first episode,

Did Simon not speak with Bruno about what the show is about 😂

Elderflower14 · 16/04/2023 19:49

Watched last night's just now.. The young man with autism and the Ugandan children had me in tears...
Not overly impressed with pastie and Peas...

Elderflower14 · 16/04/2023 19:56

The Dance troupe are amazing!

Meredusoleil · 16/04/2023 19:57

This Beauty and the Beast song Be my Guest is so sweet 🙂

CarbunclesAreUncles · 16/04/2023 20:12

Anyone watching?

Meredusoleil · 16/04/2023 20:16

What is up with all these (crappy) Japanese artists this year?!?

Nowillpowerarall · 16/04/2023 20:18

The beauty and beast kids were really out of tune. I didn't get the fuss about them.

Elderflower14 · 16/04/2023 20:19

I loved the young man with down syndrome dancing.... My son volunteers with a ds charity and has two honarary brothers who both have ds.
The yo yos are beyond boring!!
