THIS is déjà vue but doesn’t a dog winning Britain’s Got Talent seem a poor reflection of the national talent we’ve actually got?
I’m as entranced by a cute pooch as the next person, but BGT is meant to show top undiscovered talent. The fact that it turns out to be four-legged and furry is a bit of a let-down.
Matisse the border collie and trainer Jules O’Dwyer may have won the public vote but perhaps we need saving from ourselves.
Ban BGT dog acts, please. Give them their own talent show, and make it human talent that counts here.
