How do they match up? It's hard to believe Cowell &co are not aware of their predecessors. So, is Tony Hatch or Mickey Most in the 70s or Hughie green in the 60s and 70s in any way less effective at discovering talent in their time? I don't believe so. Therefore, as far as I can see, all of these are successively serving the same purpose in their time, and are no better or worse effectively than each other at unearthing talent which wouldn't come out if TV had never been invented. ergo, TV timefilling, all of them.
