The amount of ad breaks is ridiculous.

One after each act ffs! For goodness sake. It's a pain in the backside. In future I'll just record the show and watch it at 9.

I watched paul briling and the guy that got through and Arrangement in 10minutes from 8.50.
However, ITV are raking in i think £300,000 and advert
there is 11million veiwers and so i see the logic its just annoying for us
I will ask again.....would you rather have a £100 a month TV Bill?
Yes.
I think people are complaining at the amount of adverts not that there are adverts at all. BGT is 45% adverts which is not normal and can reasonably considered excessive.
Its a disgrace how many channels now have so many adverts its creeping up all the time.
Before long we will have a tv guide telling us what adverts are on and when we can expect snippets of coronation street, BGT etc :mad:
45% adverts? I dont think so. Where have you got such a high percentage from?
The TV companies have to gain their revenue where they can.....and that means more ads during the popular programmes.
I cannot understand why anyone would want to pay a massive amount every month rather than put up with a few ads now and then. If I could dump paying the TV Licence for the BBC (it should no longer be collected anyway as they are not the only service now) I most certainly would and I welcome adverts onto BBC so that I could use that £25 a month for something else!
And Lost
Out of the whole show last night I watched about 15 minutes.
:rolleyes:
Didn't it used to be until they made it pretty much act-ad-act-ad-act-ad? It used to be 2/3 acts then an ad.

I watch it on the ITV Player, no problem with ads, and i was only 40 minutes behind.
Plus you can fast forward the Piers & Amanda crap acts just like Sky+
The show then lasts about half hour.
Can't think of any other reason there are so many adverts.
It's also about making ITV money, making Sony money, making Fremantle Media money, making the staff that work on the show money, making the acts that appear money... I could go on.
The proportion of adverts has not changed since last year. 16 minutes an hour, 12 of which are adverts, 4 of which are ITV trailers.
The format last year was:
Part 1 - Introductions & first act
Part 2 - Acts 2 & 3
Part 3 - Acts 4 & 5
Part 4 - Acts 6 & 7
Part 5 - Act 8 & recap
Part 6 - Results
This year, the results aren't part of the 90 minute show. The format is:
Part 1 - Introductions & first act
Part 2 - Act 2
Part 3 - Act 3 & 4
Part 4 - Act 5 & 6
Part 5 - Act 7
Part 6 - Act 8 & recap
They've achieved this by extending the length of the performances, never giving 3 buzzes to any acts and having more time spent talking to the acts and more judges feedback.
