News reaches us that Simon Cowell is to launch yet another Saturday night talent show. Britain’s Got Talent is a talent show that is based on the postwar holiday camp / Butlins tradition. Unlike his Pop Idol series, anyone can enter, it will be competition for allcomers. Simon will be alongside fellow judges Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden.
Apparently Cowell remains a fan of the end-of-pier comedy acts and in an inteview with the Sunday Times Simon says “Well, I’ve always been a big fan of entertainment in the 1950s and 1960s, to me, that was the absolute pinnacle. There was a kind of naivety in those days that I enjoy. We went through a phase in the 1990s when we became incredibly cynical, and I didn’t like that. Now we’re back on track, because I don’t think tastes change.”
The show starts next Saturday on ITV.
