I loved the last act, the girl who got the golden buzzer, but did anyone else get the feeling that it was all pre-arranged? She is more or less a professional singer.

Lucas not Lucy

But I didn’t suggest he was a paedophile snowberry that’s you jumping to conclusions I said the way he ‘acts’ reminds me of Saville I didn’t say he was doing anything bad to children the way he acts as an established childrens author is pretty crude and I think inappropriate When he has built a reputation around children looking up to him and then see him with his tongue hanging out pretending to flirt with Simon or chasing him round the table I ve seen him previously jump on the stage and chase a young chap around, then this week ripping his shirt off to an elderly lady it’s all so inappropriate and makes him out to be perhaps something he’s not
It’s crude and nasty and not funny

Fair point Bluebelle.
The ott camp creepiness doesn't sit right with being a children's author.

I'm going to go a bit snobby here, but when we practise with the children for 11+ school entrance interviews it is a big NO NO for them to say that they think DW is a great author!

Snowberry. Nowhere on my post did I say that Walliams is a paedophile, please do not misquote me. I gave my opinion on him, as did Bluebelle, and I stand by it.

Joseanne A great author is someone who gets childrens imagination flowing and gets the reader reading David Walliams does just that in bucket loads
Like him or loath him he gets kids reading
Who gives adults the right to judge ?

I would probably never have got to read a book if it hadn’t been for Enid Blyton and the Faraway Tree I never got into childrens classics ‘the good books’
I went on to be an avid reader, (even the cornflakes packet)

David Walliams was quite funny in Little Britain but I guess that is not woke and pc these days. I’m not sure why they would use him as a talent show judge, seems a bit strange. Is he a musician?

No, I don't think so. He's an actor, mainly comedy. And now a writer. My grandchildren loved his books.

The only things I can commend him on are his swims for charity. The antics with Simon Cowell are verging on obscene.

I haven't watched it for a long time but saw the last show. Simon Cowell looks positively sinister and pulls the most awful faces. I am not at all keen on David Walliams (and think his books are rubbish too).

The acts weren't great.

I agree with *Bluebelle" that it is wrong to make circus animals perform and it now feels wrong to watch dogs performing. I am sure the dog's owner loves him/her dearly but if feels quite wrong to watch it prancing around like a puppet.
