Britain’s Got Talent
8pm, ITV
It’s last-chance-saloon time as tonight’s brave posse of audition-merchants compete for the remaining few places in the live semi-finals. The children of Flakefleet Primary School, led by their inspirational teacher Mr McPartlin, have already tugged at the nation’s heartstrings with their musical comedy act and BGT will be dominating evenings throughout the week, as the semi-finals get into full swing and the show ruthlessly colonises ITV primetime. A dream or a nightmare? You decide. Hannah Verdier
