Launched as Britain’s Got Talent in June 2007, the format has since become one of the most successful entertainment brands in the world, selling to 27 countries and consistently ranking as the number one show in many countries.
The show features dancers, singers, comedians, variety acts and other talented performers of all ages. A panel of judges decide which acts progress to the live semi finals when the public have the chance to vote for their favourites.
On May 30th 2009, the final of Britain’s Got Talent broke UK entertainment viewing records this decade by achieving an audience of 18.3 million. And in the US, America’s Got Talent’s 2008 season was NBC’s highest rated entertainment series and hit a peak audience of 13.2 million viewers.
Wherever it is shown, Got Talent continues to win many of the top entertainment industry awards.
