There's no denying that
Britain's Got Talent needed some refreshing- the show, now another annual event for iTV, reached its fourth season last year and its winner Spellbound felt old hat compared to the likes of Paul Potts and Susan Boyle who were discovered early on, not to mention that judges Simon Cowell and Piers Morgan seemed to be almost getting bored of saying the same comments every week. Enter Michael McIntyre and David Hasslehoff, two hopefully permanent replacements on the judging panel that appear to have breathed new life into the reality series. McIntyre brings all his wit and charm from his tours
Live & Laughing and
Hello Wembley, remarking that a mediocre singing group needs to find a new talent "so fricking bad" after a terrible rendition of
Billionare and upon seeing a financial analyst who is painted blue attempt to be a 'human dolphin' even goes so far as to quip: "Now I know why the country is in financial debt." Despite being the addition I was most dubious of, actor Hasslehoff brings a wave of energy and bravado to the programme, rounding off a perfect trio of judges along with series regular Amanda Holden. All that was lacking from last night's premiere episode was Simon Cowell (he isn't too sorely missed, but it will be nice when he's back at the live shows) and much real talent bar the somewhat dimwitted- yet fantastic- guitarist who closed the night, but I can safely say that
Britain's Got Talent is well and truly back on top as a great Saturday night watch!
