I have no idea whether the Mint Royale version is any good - I didn't even know it existed until now - but regardless, my tick is being withheld because I really hate the entire concept of programmes like that...so shlocky and sentimental and kind of morbid, ultimately.
They just seem to confuse 'talent' and 'novelty', it's all about dog-standing-on-hind-legs party tricks, and there tends to be some iffy class stuffz going on most of the time too ("L@@K a WORKING CLASS person singing OPERA").
Performing dogzors are hardly a novelty! They're a strain in British entertainment culture going back to pagan times probably. It still doesn't make me like them more though.
