You would think they would want to give it the best timeslot possibly available to ensure it gets lots of viewers, the 7.30-8 slot is traditionally the best timeslot yet they're still sticking it on every week at 6.30. It's just baffling.

Oh I know, I just think it'd work better completely out of the way from BGT and without any of this 'battle' rubbish between the two. January to March for The Voice and then BGT can return to its regular April start.

With regards to the lottery, I think a lot of it is to do with Camelot and the amount of power they have when it comes to the scheduling of their lottery related shows, I'm sure there's something in the contract which allows them to dictate that sort of stuff to a point. I'm sure I read that somewhere before.

It definitely needs an 8pm slot though, and live results shows next year. There's no atmosphere whatsoever.
