Just a slight correction - two stewards have died during a Formula One race since then; Paolo Ghislimberti during the 2000 Italian Grand Prix and Graham Beveridge during the 2001 Austrian Grand Prix.

They deliberately did that for continuity purposes. So contestants auditioning on the first day of the process could be shown in the last episode or the other way around etc.

I agree, however as we know from most sports, they tend to go with who pays them the most money, not which gives them the biggest audience. That mindset is about profit, not sport, and certainly not an event of national importance.
the sad (but true thing) is that the X-Factor finale, is as much an event of national importance, as who will win a sporting event, it gets over 10 million viewers, and has endless press attention, which sport can boost that these days? So, for example.... Miss World, The Royal Variety Performance, The Eurovision Song Contest, The James Bond premiere - or indeed many TV premiers of big, classic films. I remember Mary Poppins being a big premiere in the 80s, arriving on TV about 20 years after its release. Xmas Ericand Ernie, Xmas Only Fools.... and Alright On The Night use to be a big event, turning up for occasional one-offs that would storm the ratings. |

it also helps create an iconic look for a show, that said on the Voice, I figure it just a case of getting something that both makes you stand out from, and works with the giant chairs.
According to The Sun ![]() Quote:
The BBC has found itself at the centre of a new row over The Voice after it emerged celebrity coach Will.i.am has been promoting his single on the show using his JACKET
Yes, I remember when Will Young was a guest on The Graham Norton Show and thinking, "That's a nice tie Will's wearing. I must buy his new album." |

There have been plenty of non-sporting TV shows that used to be national events over the years - particularly so in the days when there were only 3 or 4 channels.
So, for example.... Miss World, The Royal Variety Performance, The Eurovision Song Contest, The James Bond premiere - or indeed many TV premiers of big, classic films. I remember Mary Poppins being a big premiere in the 80s, arriving on TV about 20 years after its release. Xmas Ericand Ernie, Xmas Only Fools.... and Alright On The Night use to be a big event, turning up for occasional one-offs that would storm the ratings. I would however like to nominate Glastonbury and the Doctor Who Christmas Special* as being national events. Times have changed, these so called national events, are not as big as they once were, not when we have alot more choice in just about everything. * for me at least it is at least as important to me, as the X-Factor finale is to X-Factor fans, if not more so. |

Flaws in TV showing up with the limitations on numbers-a fabulous hippyish 17 year old girl just passed by because they already have others the same(voicewise) on their team.
On a purely public interest point of view, there have been some who would have given the later stages a bit more variety who have not been picked. |

Apparantly Will.i.am has been using his outfit on The Voice to plug his new single, as it contains a slogan from the chorus.
According to The Sun ![]() I suppose it might be a different deal, if it was from his own label, or a label he promotes. |

National tv events in the main can depend on press coverage these days. Arguably they have to be on BBC1 or ITV1, Grand National moving to C4 will cause a viewing drop off.
As long as BBC1 have Wimbledon, Olympics, EURO football and World Cup, I am more than happy. I am sure other events have valid claims, but I consider these to be priceless. |

I wondered what the hell you were talking about. This seemed like total gobbledygook until I realised that TV stood for The Voice and not TeleVision.

will.i.am is just dreadful. Officially the most irritating judge of any of these shows EVER, and that's saying something.
He seems to have developed a new catchphrase this week. "That's dope. That's dope that is." :sleep: Oh, sod off you overpaid tool! Sorry, but... To make matters worse, then Jessie J joined in, who is also increasingly dislikeable with each and every episode.I get that they are trying to chase a young audience. But if that's how these supposedly professional people, some might say role models, have to talk on these shows to be accepted by the yoofs watching, then that really is depressing, and frankly I'd rather not be a part of it. Say what you like about Simon Cowell but he is at least articulate and normally gives a good critique. |

I think some events like BB and BGT final are bigger for the 18-44 demographic. I like that certain events have a wider reach agewise.

I am not a huge fan, (though I did see BEP 1st UK concert appearance in Manchester) but I think as a black American he is allowed latitude, imagine Louis Walsh saying it!

It used to get to me that the Thursday/Friday switch to BBC One of The Masters at 10.35, got higher viewers than the primetime coverage on BBC Two. Same when the PGA Saturday ratings plummet when it switches to BBC Two from BBC One. |

Britain's Got Talent didn't start until 20.04 and is now having an ad break. I now expect The Voice to win the night by a clear margin.

Lol, obviously TV needs a bit more time to embed-you would not have had any problem with BGT I would imagine
![]() And I'll tell you what else I find confusing - using MBB as an abbreviation for Mrs Brown's Boys cos it also stands for Men Behaving Badly. And I don't like it when people use C as an abbreviation for Casualty cos it could also stand for Crossroads. Or Callan. Or Columbo. Or Cheers.

But there's nothing else that BGT could stand for. Whilst TV was an abbreviation for television long, long before it was used for The Voice.
I may have to go reread this thread, and change my view on those hippyish girls mentioned.

"That's dope" is a good catchphrase. Remember a couple of months ago I said it was important The Voice had some catchphrases. This is one of them. I saw loads of people on Twitter tweeting "dope" and this is good word of mouth, cos other people were wondering why there were people were saying "dope" and the reply was that it was something to do with The Voice. So its a good way of causing word of mouth, its like sitcoms which have had catchphrases. More people will watch.

At least now BGT is on we'll actually get some 'light entertainment'. The Voice is seriously dull. |
