ITV, BGT, and the 'alleged' dog con....

ITV and the ‘alleged’ dog con.

BGT AND ITV DIDN'T CON, DUPE, OR, DECEIVE, ANYONE.

 STUNT MEN AND STUNT WOMEN HAVE ALWAYS BEEN USED IN BOTH FILM AND TELEVISION PRODUCTION EVER SINCE THE INVENTION OF THE CAMERA.

 I see no reason at all why 'stunt dogs' or any other animals should not also be used, in TV productions.

NEITHER BGT OR ITV was under any obligation to advise the BGT TELEVISION VIEWER that a stunt dog was being used, in any act being performed in that “Britain’s Got Talent” competition, that night. And, the TV viewer witnessing that entire 'production', as it was transmitted, that night, witnessed with their own eyes, a dog 'walking a tightrope' and, performing other wonderful tricks, throughout that entire act.

 If the TV viewers eyes deceived them into believing that 'only one dog' had performed that act; then that, 'illusion' and, that, 'reality', was entirely due to them. They, only actually saw 'one dog' performing in that act; it was the mischievous reporting of journalism that later informed them, otherwise.

But, neither, BGT or ITV were under any obligation, to tell the TV viewer, otherwise. In film and television productions 'stunt men' and 'stunt women' have always been used; and, in both circumstances, where the cinema goer or, the television viewer, has watched that film or production; the, producers of the production, have, never ever, advised beforehand or afterwards, that a 'stunt double' has been used. When, that film or production, was made.

IN THIS RESPECT THE ITV BGT TV VIEWER WAS NOT MISLEAD AT ALL.
 
THERE WAS NO CON, NO DUPING, AND, NO DECEIT.

The fact that a 'busybody' regulator, OFCOM, has now ordered ITV to refund the cost of viewers paid telephone contributions, made that night; is positively obscene.

BOTH BGT AND ITV SHOULD REFUSE TO REFUND ANYTHING.
