Britains Got Talent - History

The format of Britains Got Talent was created by The X Factor creator, Pop Idol/American Idol judge and Sony Music Entertainment A&R Executive Simon Cowell, who has created a Got Talent series across the globe. On 12 February 2007, it was announced by ITV the judges would be Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan (who had also judged America's Got Talent) and Amanda Holden (a late replacement for Cheryl Cole, who later became a judge on The X Factor). It was originally planned that Britains Got Talent would be aired in 2005 (before America's Got Talent) and would be presented by Paul O'Grady. However, after O'Grady's defection to Channel 4 for The Paul O'Grady Show, he refused to appear in another ITV show, so the Britains Got Talent series was put on hold after just one rehearsal show.

The Got Talent format has been adopted in a number of other countries, however, the original British version has not been broadcast in any other country (except Ireland) due to unsolved rights issues. Television stations in the Scandinavian countries have expressed an interest in showing the UK version but not been able to acquire the rights.
