Synopsis:
For 17 years, BGT has showcased the extraordinary talents of performers aiming to impress the public and judges, with hopes of winning a £250,000 and a spot on the bill of the Royal Variety Performance. Season 17 delivered seven weeks of spectacular performances, showcasing hundreds of acts. As the competition progressed to the live semi-finals, eight acts took to the stage each evening, accompanied by guest performers, offering viewers an array of talent over 120 minutes. But BGT is not just about entertainment. The show embraces diversity like no other with the 2024 series welcoming everyone from child prodigies to those rediscovering their passions later in life, and from performers with disabilities to those overcoming personal hardships. The show highlighted contestants’ personal stories of triumph over adversity and heartwarming tales of inspiration from individuals of all ages, ethnicities, sexuality, and abilities – reflecting the rich tapestry of the world we live in today.
