I totally agree, and I can't think there are many talent shows that have kept the same judges for so long. For instance, The X Factor seems to be at an end and though I haven't really watched it, it seems that's been more about the judges in recent years.

Apparently Simon told a girl singing at the auditions recently there aren't many shows like this left for people like her to have this opportunity. I think it sounded like he meant it in a complimentary way to the girl.

I've personally always felt BGT trumps X Factor in terms of scope, diversity and how far it can go, but felt ITV focused more on X Factor.

My point is I hope more quality can be put into BGT. It's seemed odd to me before some choices made. Like when we've seen preview clips of acts or heard about that have never been televised.

I was in the audience for auditions in 2013 and hardly any of them were shown on TV. I appreciate not everyone can be shown but I wonder with BGMT gone if more acts will be shown now.
