History Trivia / BritainsGotTalent

* CreatorBacklash : When Simon received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in August 2018, he was asked what his biggest regret was. Simon declared his dismissive treatment of Susan Boyle, prior to her singing, to be this; when he watched the recording of it afterwards, "I hated my own guts." From then on, he made it a point not to judge any act until ''after'' they performed

** This war is once again raging on, as Telecinco resurrected ''Tienes talento'' in 2015, now under the name ''Got Talent España'', while Mediaset's rivals Atresmedia have acquired ''Tú sí que vales'' (now rebranded ''Tú sí que sí'' since [[DisneyOwnsThisTrope the previous name belongs to Telecinco]]) for laSexta. The two shows actually faced off on January 24, 2017, with ''Got Talent'' curb-stomping ''Tú sí que sí'' (20.3% share rating vs 4.4%), prompting laSexta to move ''Tú sí que sí'' to Wednesday nights.

* DuelingShows: When the Spanish version, ''Tienes talento'' was set to premiere on Cuatro in 2008, then-rival channel Telecinco (both Cuatro and Telecinco are now part of Mediaset España) countered with another talent show called ''Tú sí que vales'', which was flat-out accused of plagiarism (in fact, the whole thing nearly got to court) by the ''Tienes talento'' crew. Eventually, ''Tienes talento'' ended its run on Cuatro after just one season, while ''Tú sí que vales'' totaled 17 editions on Telecinco until 2013.

* NamesTheSame
** In addition to the aforementioned David J. Watson, ''another'' David Watson auditioned in 2009, this time performing a singing act. Unfortunately, this David Watson was about as good at singing as the first one was at doing impressions. There was one difference between the two however, as David Watson the singer took his failure with good humour and said he still enjoyed the experience, while David Watson the impressionist (and later magician and Dancing Hulk) always seems genuinely shocked when no-one likes his acts.
** In addition, there's the 2008 dancing auditionee David Williams who was far from pleased with Simon's comments, a different David Williams in 2007 playing the ashtray with a key, and the 2012 judge David Walliams (which is a stage name; his real name indeed being David Williams).

* RetroactiveRecognition: ''Series/StrictlyComeDancing'''s AJ Pritchard and Chloe Hewitt had their first taste of TV stardom as contestants on Series 7. Ditto with Neil and Katya Jones, who competed as part of the dance troupe Kings and Queens on Series 8.
