Britain's Got Talent 2012: week five review
Radio Times -
2012-04-21 23:57
Share this
episode Written By Jack Seale Britain?s Got Talent worked hard this week to
distinguish itself from The Voice. There were really only seven acts in it,
plus a lot of light-hearted filler, whereas The Voice has 40 acts and lasts
for five hours.
Apart from this being technically illegal under the 2006 London Olympic
Games and Paralympic Games Act, it was cheesy and boring, and that?s
without mentioning the bit where they hilariously danced to the theme from
Only Fools and Horses.
