| Series chronology | |
The fourteenth series of Britain's Got Talent, a British talent competition series, began broadcasting in the UK from 11 April 2020. This series is most notable for being split into two parts, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on television networks across the globe; although audition episodes had been pre-recorded in advance, the live rounds were suspended to a later date due to a ban on large gatherings by the government in March of that year.
Series overview
The judges auditions took place between January and February 2020, within London and Manchester. Filming commenced during this period for the standard pre-recorded episodes, and was finished by the end of the final audition session. However, by March of that year, the global coronavirus pandemic began to affect the United Kingdom, with the government bringing in measures to curb the spread, eventually calling on a cut down of mass gatherings in public spaces. Live television production was greatly impacted as a result, with ITV announcing that the live rounds would be delayed until a later date.[1] Although speculation was made over these taking place weeks after the audition episodes were aired and without a live audience, Amanda Holden indicated in May 2020 that the live rounds would potentially air in Autumn within a perceived safe period for live television programmes, stating that Britain's Got Talent would not function well without an audience present for the live rounds.[2]
