Re: Italy's Got Talent
ITG started at 9ish and finished around 00.40 - so thats verrrrry long 
Duffers right - the italian versions of these programmes goes on forever. Strictly over here in Italy lasts about 4 hours too and so does their version of Ready Steady cook.
Saying that ......Britains Got Talent starts this Saturday

Re: Italy's Got Talent
I like watching all of these things only in the early stages to giggle at the rubbish acts and the people who cannot hold a tune and yet are convinced that they can sing and Simon Cowell is wrong... does that make me a bad person do you think??!!

Re: Italy's Got Talent
So did anybody watch it last night?
I flicked over a few times whilst watching another programme and realised it was the gran finale but there was no way I was stopping up to watch the end of it and knowing Italian TV, I figured that they'd make announcing the winner last about half an hour.
Who won?

Re: Italy's Got Talent
Watched it in last week in Turin
No Sky there, though I'm 'working' on BBC.
Watched Grey's Anatomy. The story line was mostly about who was having sex with who.
followed by the spin off, Private Practice. Same thing, different city.

Re: Italy's Got Talent
I saw that singer. I also saw that all 3 judges predicted that she would win.
I wonder what was the age of the majority of tele-voters at that time of night? I can't see all the teenagers voting for an opera singer instead of street dancers or younger performers.

Re: Italy's Got Talent
Which self respecting young Itlaian is at home in front of the box at midnight on a Saturday? Canale 5 is aimed fairly and squarely at older B2 and C1 audience - (I used to work in tv in the UK) - which is exactly what its owner wants. THe vast majority of C5 watchers, watch only C5 - they believe eveerything they see and Maria, Maurizio Gerry et al are 'their friends' - hence the complete lack of new talent coming through - and the old faces presenting 90% of the shows.
Italian tv on the whole is depressingly crap - its like sitting in front of ITV in about 1974 - imagine the level of Bless this House and the Black and White Minstrels in Italian - thats where we are - TV is the opiate of the people in ITaly which is what it is designed to be. Appalling TV directors who cant frame a camera shot, spontaneous adlibs that last half and hour and completely unrehearsed - why? egos and money I should think - I cant imagine why any producer would allow such shameless overruns appalling production values if they actually cared about the product. TV in ITaly has no BBC mandate to educate, entertain and inform - its purely a business to make money from ads - more so in the case of C5 whose adverts are made by another Berlusconi company. When the entire production costs of a show are met by the SMS/phone in voting, the ads are all profit - and we are the schmucks who sit and ooh and aah along with MAria and Gerry - THank God for UK NOva....

Nice one... a good rant. If I try and say this in my house my wife will say " Well you wanted to live here!!!!!!"
As I slowly learn Italian and try to understand what these people on TV are on about I wonder why I bother.
I do like who wants to be a millionaire though. I sit there trying first to understand the question and then trying to work out the answer. Boh

I remember when the adverts came on in the UK somebody would say "time to make a quick cuppa".
In Italy you have time to have a quick shower, wash your hair, get your dressing gown on, make a cuppa and a sandwich.
