Bread And Circuses

[nailit]

I despair at the human race!

[ChillDoubt]

D’ya think mamya?

I’ll see what Tickmaster advise in the morning!

[Jackdaw33]

Never seen the programme but is it not just a rehash of Opportunity Knocks? That was dire as well.

[Mamyalynne]

Well, it would be different Chill.

The advantage now is you can fast forward through 95% of the programme and just watch the acts.

I have never watched the voice, pop idol, big brother, I'm a celebrity ,, search for an unknown to appear in yet another revival of a musical, but I do watch bake off, portrait and landscape artist and the equivalent pottery programmes. Mainly because they don't set out to humiliate people.

[ChillDoubt]

But some of them did have a semblance of talent JD, way back when.

Can’t recall a BGT ‘winner’ going on to have a burgeoning career.

[ChillDoubt]

Well, it would be different Chill.

Oh, I dunno. Sounds like it’s a load of old Horlicks, on BGT, the view would be similar to what I have on offer!

[pixie374]

You might reach the semis then, chill ;-)

[Mamyalynne]

Ha.

I imagine all of them could charge x10 with "bgt live shows " on their CV.

[rowanwitch]

I think these programmes are addictive because they convince the viewer that have power to affect the outcome. As people are increasingly disempowered the pull is greater.

[Old_Geezer]

In fairness, man can not live by circuses alone.

Might have more success if he changed his profile and called himself: The Son of Caractacus!
His last album failed to chart in the UK, the one prior reached the dizzying heights of 33.
