10th Series NOT 10 years
I've heard 10 years mentioned numerous times on television and online and it is really annoying. BGT is at its 10th series, it is 10 years old next year. I wish shows would not do their 'birthdays' like this. Big Brother and some other shows have also celebrated this way and I find it really annoying.

Year 1: 2007
Year 2: 2008 Year 3: 2009 Year 4: 2010 Year 5: 2011 Year 6: 2012 Year 7: 2013 Year 8: 2014 Year 9: 2015 Year 10: 2016 This is BGT's tenth year on air, hence celebrating 10 years, 10 series, whatever. Same with Big Brother. That's not technically the same as it being ten years old, as you rightly say, but it's not a birthday celebration: They're not celebrating it being ten years SINCE the first series, but rather that the show has reached ten years/series, which seems a lot more suitable celebration for a TV show. |

Doesn't matter, the point is we're celebrating reaching double figures and 10 amazing series!

But does anyone think that? There's a difference between celebrating X years since something and X years or X series of something
