Britain's Got Talent viewers issue fresh 'fix' accusations and threaten to call Ofcom after three acts from Japan audition: 'Why don't we just change the name to The World's Got Talent?'
Britain's Got Talent viewers have threatened to call Ofcom on Saturday after three acts from Japan auditioned for the show.
Disgruntled fans admitted that they believed the show should be for British people because of its name and wanted to take the issue to the UK TV regulator.
Viewers were less than impressed when show judge Simon Cowell gave his Gold Buzzer away to Cyberagent Legit, a professional Japanese dancing act.
During Saturday night's audition a beatboxing group called Sarukani, a drone operator called Keiichiro Tani and then dance troupe Cyberagent Legit all performed for the judges Simon, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli.
And while there are no restrictions about where an act comes from, viewers have formed their own opinions and flocked to X, formerly Twitter, to share their thoughts.

One penned: 'Did ITV get a group booking for a flight from Japan? Or is this Japan's got Talent?
'Can Ofcom look at this like the trade descriptions act?! A very misleading name for a TV show!'
'They must think people are stupid, they fly a hand picked dance group from Japan and then give them the golden buzzer so they can come straight over for the semi finals, fix.'
'Did #BGT charter a flight from Japan for this series?'
'How do they even qualify for #BGT ? They're from JAPAN? Why don't we just change the name to The World's Got Talent?' questioned someone else.
But, despite some criticism, others loved watching the acts perform, as other performances from Japan blew the audience away.
After being left in awe by their superb audition, viewers unearthed the beatboxing group Sarukani's successful past after a brilliant Saturday night audition.
The group, made up of four beatboxing artists - Kohey, So-So, Rusy and Kaji - earned themselves a standing ovation after a brilliant performance which saw them recreate Ghost Buster's theme tune.
