You can either admit to watching this willingly or blame your other half for making you suffer!


Either way, opinions would be good (and it's only once a year).


Loved the Welsh choir & the dogs so far.


Adore the light dance group UDI tonight but standard hasn't been so good this year. Time will tell.

Well Britain once owned / ruled over most of the World so I suppose they have the right to apply.. :)

No.. but I will be shortly going down the Pub.


I've never been a big fan of BGT but I think what I have seen in previous years was better

than what I've seen so far this year.

I never like animals in talent shows. but I suppose this dog did not have much to do. ?

Did not look like a real dog on the pedestal .. but the dog run off. ??

Did not see the switch if it was a trick.


But if someone can make a helicopter appear from nowher ? who knows.


I never saw the early dog act which you said you liked in your first post.

What was different about that. ?

P.S Arhh did not realise it was a Mask.. that explains everything..

Of course. I thought that was obvious, but reading other replies, it seems not.


The RSPCA looked into it and had no problem, so that's good enough for me.

After their first appearance, there was controversy as animal welfare charities were looking into claims of cruelty because of the mask.


Just Google it if you want to know why you shouldn't vote for them.


As for voting, won't be doing it tonight. Nothing grabbed me.

P.s. I'm not saying it's cruel because I don't know enough about it. If the dog is suffering, the RSPCA would have stopped them performing.


All I'm saying is that it's a fake act. The dog is just sitting there (hopefully happy, but looks p*ssed off) and the guy is just another ventriloquist.


Whereas the dogs on Tues were talented, so well trained and you could see they were happy, enjoying themselves.

    • "Dedicated to the purpose-built student accommodation sector. PBSA News is the leading source of news, insights and analysis for professionals, investors and stakeholders in the purpose-built student accommodation sector. With a mission to provide the latest information and foster collaboration within the rental community."   The PBSA take on the strength of the market seems much more upbeat than does the govt. research paper. Perhaps they are right or perhaps it is in their interests to talk up the market?    
    • I think a lot of people here are just speculating about empty student accommodation properties. Student accommodation developments are very popular because they provide really great rates of return for the owner. A large student accommodation owner, Unite Students, saw 97.5% occupancy across their assets in the 2024/2025 academic year. They have many properties in London; https://pbsanews.co.uk/2024/10/09/unite-students-reports-record-occupancy-rates-in-q3-2024-update/ Here's a bit from CBRE on PBSA properties in London from May 2024: https://www.cbre.co.uk/press-releases/london-plan-policy-fails-to-deliver-affordable-student-accommodation - "According to new research by CBRE and QX Global, the gap between demand for PBSA and available supply in London currently stands at 100,000 – 105,000 full-time students, underscoring how demand for student housing has outpaced supply." - The development pipeline in London isn't keeping up with the demand. Ultimately this development wouldn't be built if student accommodation wasn't in demand. It's proximity to the station means that a student could get to any number of universities easily in a short span of time. Is it ideal? No. Would more affordable housing be better? Yes. Is speculating about channel migrants occupying the space uninformed idiocy? Absolutely.
