:O woah!

Im sure the Susan effect made people watch more, it added about 1.4m from last week.

Who'd have thought ITV1 would revive Saturday night tv :angel:

Well done BGT

Can't say I am surprised, all the media coverage!

Susan was on CNN Larry King Live last night and she she sang 'My Heart Will Go on'

Fantastic! Cheap tv does work..

Wow that's great!

Not surprised by the ratings, they are brilliant considering we are just coming into the warmer months too. The final could see a peak of 15 or 16million +
However the show doesn't deserve those ratings, the quality is crap compared to other talent shows such as X Factor and SCD

What? X Factor and SCD are the same every year. At least with BGT there are different kinds of acts to keep you entertained. I grow bored of XF after the auditions.
