Hackney's Got Talent 3 (256PiAlternate)

256PiAlternate Say I'm not making Hackney's Got Talent 3. And here's why: not enough ideas. It's not because I hate my fanbase or anything, if I did I'd never have tried to make this in the first place. The thing is, I don't want HGT to get stale, and keeping it fresh isn't as easy as you'd think. There's a lot of different things that go into it (contestants, reactions from judges, etc) and if I were to make another one it wouldn't be as funny. This is the same reason why What's This Ear never got anywhere, it was supposed to be a once-off joke and bringing it back even once felt really forced to me. Just saying, let's not get greedy here.
But not to worry, there's still always new stuff coming, and in case you were worried about Michael's TV career, Don't Be Cheeky isn't going anywhere.
