I think there looks like some really decent stuff on there.... But towards the latter end of the list, it's just
blatant rip offs isn't it? I mean - the dragons den thing, 'britain's got talent' - These are both ideas that
have been done to death now surely (especially the latter)...

The dramas sound interesting but I agree that some of the entertainment formats are quite blatantly rip-offs.


Aside from the fact that "Britain's Got Talent" isn't actually a rip-off show, but the UK version of a popular US TV show.

If anything, "When Will I Be Famous" on BBC One is the rip-off, since the Beeb clearly knew that ITV were planning
a UK version of "America's Got Talent", so they shoehorned their own third rate copy of the format, at more or less
the last minute, and gave the hosting job to Graham Norton, who seems to be the BBC's current goldenboy for
lame Saturday night entertainment shows, much like Dale Winton and Ian Wright were before him.

I'm really looking forward to Britain's Got Talent- shame Paul O'Grady will no longer be involved (as he was going to be until he moved to Channel 4). It would have been great with him as a judge on the show!

Britain's Got Talent doesn't interest me at all - I'm so over the talent shows which are more interested in the crap than the quality. It's what ruins the early stage of The X Factor for me!

It would be interesting to have a talent show like X Factor where it is only the really weird and bad people who get through, with the worst person winning the show!
