# Pack your bags, you're leaving
# For BGT So lock the door
# There's an experience In store... #
So, today's the big day.
BOTH: Cheers!
# Reach for the stars Now, that's a metaphor
# Travelling towards Your first encore
# Leave behind the life You knew before
# If you succeed
# The chance of your show In a stadium
# Starts on stage at the Palladium
# Your moment's here This is your chance
# Take a peek For self-assurance... #
Shake off any nerves. Get some energy.
# Warm up your voice And your hands, just clap them
# Ask what's the best and... #
What's the worst that could happen? Exactly.
# You're in the wings You're nervous as fudges
# As you hear those words... #
BOTH: Here come the judges.
# Alesha Dixon, shining brightly
# David Walliams, stepping lightly
# Amanda Holden's stunning nightly
# Simon Cowell smiling whitely
# There'll be wins And there'll be losses
# Don't focus On those four red crosses
# Get a laugh from Dixon Or tears from Holden
# Ant and Dec might make you golden
# For 14 years, I made an excuse
# Why I'd never hear my name Introduced
# By Ant and Dec in the final show
# But if you don't go for it You'll never know
# When you're variety for royalty
# Totally could get that winning fee
# You could be underneath The confetti
# Your dreams can be a reality
# Take it from me
# This is BGT! #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
SIMON HUMS THE TUNE
Hi, Kenny. Hello there, Ant.
How are you feeling about going on stage here at the Palladium?
A little bit nervous, to be honest.
When I heard all the crowd going, it gets the...
The old ticker going. Yeah.
Listen, they're ready for you on stage. OK. So, I go on?
Yeah, let's do it. On the star. Best of luck.
Thank you very much.
See you in a bit. Cheers.
CHEERING
He's like your favourite grandad!
Hello. Hello. What's your name?
My name is Kenny, Kenny Petrie.
And er... I'm from er...
I—I'm 64, I've come to, hopefully, take part,
a good part in the show tonight.
Amazing.
CHEERING
Do you think whatever it is you're going to do,
Her Majesty the Queen would enjoy?
I think she'd love it.
All right, good luck, Kenny.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
CHEERING

SONG ENDS
Yeah! Get in, Kenny!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Born to be wild... #
Well, we weren't expecting that! No!
It was fantastic. Obviously unexpected
because you seem sort of a mild—mannered guy.
I mean, sorry, I didn't think, "Oh, here comes a rock god."
LAUGHTER
We love being surprised on this show.
When the guitar came out, I thought, "This isn't gonna go well."
And you were actually brilliant.
Kenny, I'm going to kick this off.
A rocking yes from me. Thank you.
It's a yes from me, Kenny.
It's a yes from me.
Well, Kenny, you've got four yeses.
Oh, thank you! Well done.
Thank you, thank you.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Yes, Kenny! All right, guys? Thanks.
None of us were expecting that. No.
Well, that surprised me.
He was like the mouse that roared.
It was brilliant. Yes. Very good.
What are you doing for us today, Ryland?
I'm going to be doing some magic. Brilliant!
Why come and audition for us now?
So, I've been wanting to go on since I was four.
Really? I can't wait to see this.
Are you ready to do it? Yeah.
We're ready for you. Best of luck, pal.
# Born to be wild. #
Hello. Hello.
What's your name? My name's Ryland.
Hello, Ryland, nice to meet you. How old are you?
I'm nine. And where are you from?
I'm from Staffordshire. Amazing.
Who have you brought with you?
My mum's in the audience, and my dad's backstage. OK, brilliant.
Do you feel nervous, or are you quite confident?
I'm a bit nervous. AUDIENCE: Aww!
What has made you want to come on Britain's Got Talent?
My dad inspired me to start doing magic because he was a magician.
Do you love Harry Potter? Because I do.
Yeah. It's my favourite.
Yeah.
HARRY POTTER THEME PLAYS
I got interested in magic because I just thought it was really cool.
If you want, you could perform in front of the royal family.
I'm a bit scared, Dad! You're a bit scared!
I sometimes perform magic to my friends.
Do you ever do magic in class when you're meant to be doing your maths?
Erm, sometimes.
If you won, and you got the quarter of a million,
what are you gonna buy?
Lego, Snickers, and Sprite.
Good luck.
CHEERING
On this table over here, I have written over 100 words
that describe emotions that people can feel when they watch magic.
Amanda, can you please join me up on stage?
Yes. CHEERING
On your way up, can you please pick up a piece of paper and look at it?
Don't let anyone else see, and don't tell me.
OK.
Can you please sit here?
CHEERING
Wham';?
Can you take this cube and start to mix it
while I explain what's about to happen?
With the help of my friends
from The Magic Circle Young Magicians Club...
CHEERING
The Young Magicians Club.
...we're going to do some magic that should hopefully blow your mind.
Behind us, there's a framework
containing 16 holes that fit a Rubik's Cube exactly.
Each of my friends is holding a Rubik's Cube
which, like you, they're randomly mixing.
At any point, Amanda, I'd like you to stop mixing your Rubik's Cube.
When you do, in a loud voice, please say "stop"
and hold your cube high in the air. OK.
Stop.
Now, Amanda, there are 200 quintillion ways
that a Rubik's Cube can be mixed.
All the cubes are mixed in a different way
that nobody could possibly know.
Everyone in the audience,
if you've got a phone, can you please switch the torch on
and hold it high in the air?
MUSIC: 'You Got The Love' by Candi St a ton
Amazing.
Watch.
# I know I can count on you
# Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord, I just don't care"
# But you've got the love I need To see me through
# Sometimes I feel like Throwing my hands up in the air
# I know I can count on you
# Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord, I just don't care"
# But you've got the love I need To see me through... #
That just leaves one space remaining.
Do you want to mix your cube some more or leave it as it is?
I'm gonna leave it as it is.
Now, before this all began, when you first sat down with me,
I asked you to pick a word. What was that word?
It was "love".
# You've got the love I need To see me through... #
CHEERING
WQW!
# Sometimes I feel like Throwing my hands up in the air
# I know I can count on you
# Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord, I just don't care"
# But you've got the love I need To see me through
# You've got the love... #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Wow.
Oh, my goodness.
That was so good!
# You've got the love. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
How on Earth did he do that?
# Come with me
# And you'll be
# In a world Of pure imagination... #
I am speechless.
CHEERING
I mean, that was unbelievable.
I mean, seriously, unbelievable.
I mean, what was so weird was we were talking,
and kidding with each other about Harry Potter,
and then it was like a Harry Potter movie on that stage.
That is magic. I mean, unbelievable.
It really was.
You've got fantastic showmanship.
The magic was amazing.
Fabulous. Well done.
You have magical powers, and you need to be stopped (!)
No, it was incredible.
It was a great audition.
You should be very, very proud of yourself.
You're super confident, you've got lots of personality.
And that's one of the most important things when you're a magician.
Can I just see what's behind your fringe?
LAUGHTER
So, yeah, you've got everything going for you,
cos your magic's good, you've got a great personality,
you've got good stage presence.
It was a really good audition, so well done.
I'm gonna start by saying yes.
CHEERING
It's a yes from me!
It's a yes from me.
Absolutely, four gigantic yeses.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Amazing.
I mean, that was amazing.
Absolutely brilliant. You're definitely magic, you.
We've got to keep an eye out for you. Well done.
Really brilliant.
I don't know how he got that in there.
It's called magic, darling.
It was magic.
It WAS magic.

I know! It's amazing, isn't it?
They all look really good.
Makes you wonder what everybody's gonna do.
# We love this exaltation Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
# We want the new temptations... #
Good luck!
Love you. Love you, too.
I want a puppet show.
What do you mean?
I feel like we haven't had puppets on the show for ages.
Could be now.
CHEERING
Hello! Hello!
Welcome to Britain's Got Talent. Thank you so much. Thank you!
What are your names?
I'm Bee. And I'm Lottie.
And how do you girls know each other?
We're twin sisters. Yeah, we're twin sisters.
And when did you first meet?
It was a really long time ago.
But I think it was about... 1991? Yeah. Yeah, about that time.
So, is this your full—time job? Wearing dungarees?
Yes!
We are dungaree models.
So, what's your dream? Why have you come on this show?
Oh, to do what we're about to do for a living.
We were born to do this, and hopefully everyone will enjoy it,
and we're just absolutely beside ourselves to be here.
So happy to be here, yeah.
This is your moment, girls. Take it away.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
APPLAUSE
What's the act? Did they say, or do we have to wait and see?

SONG: 'Time Of My Life'
Oh, my God, I love this song!
BUZZER
Aww...
Oh, I'm more gutted we didn't get the chance
to play with our puppets for longer!
Without being rude,
I don't believe you should ever see the people
who are doing the puppets.
It's like The Muppets, you have to believe that they're real. OK.
But you would have believed they're real otherwise? I could've done.
You'd have thought that was real people?
Well, I could make myself believe it, yes.
Well, I don't watch The Muppets
thinking someone's got their hand up a frog.
I believe that Kermit's real, yes.
PUPPET VOICE: That makes me so sad.
I have to say, the opening was brilliant.
It made me laugh straightaway. You've definitely got talent,
but you need to work on a better script and some material.
OK, perfect.
I really like you, girls, and I'm so sorry that it didn't work out.
You buzzed them.
ANT GASPS
David, yes or no?
I'm sorry, ladies. Today, it's a no.
Don't worry.
Arghh!
Yeah, hope we see you again, but today, it's a no.
Thank you.
Ah!
Hopefully we'll see you next year. But it's a no for now. Yes.
Yeah, it's four noes. But thank you.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
APPLAUSE
Girls!
Oh, no, that was surprising.
You have to believe that they could be real.
I think you're right.
You don't want to kill the magic.
When I met Elmo... Don't!
And does it kill the magic? Yeah.
Thank you, guys.
Their loss! Boo, judges!
See ya. Good luck.
I used to do puppet shows in my back garden.
I used to throw a blanket over the swing.
You really do love puppets.
I used to charge 5p for people to come and see it!
I love that, Amanda.
# This is what we call The Muppet Show. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

There she is! Hello!

PIANO MUSIC

Oh, it was utterly brilliant from start to finish.
This is just wonderful.
H0—h0! Fantastic!
I absolutely loved it.
And I was really hoping for some comedy.
When you first came on, you were all very sweet and wholesome.
And I was thinking, "I hope there's a twist."
And, obviously, you brought your delinquent granny with you.
Hey—hey! There she is!
I keep saying I would love something like this on Britain's Got Talent,
and so there you are! Brilliant.
My two-year-old would absolutely love this.
And it's great, cos she won't know what they're singing about.
Something for the adults, something for the kids.
For the children! It's great.
I agree with everything the girls said.
It really, really was a good audition.
So it's a yes from me.
CHEERING
I'm saying yes.
I am also saying yes.
And it's a yes from me, so you're through!
Bye, Nan.
Everyone, thank you! Bye-bye!
Has anybody seen my watch? Nanna?
Well, I did find this one on the floor.
Oh, I see! Found it, did you?
That'll be mine. You little tea leaf!

You did an amazing job.
Good, wasn't she? Hey? How good was that!
If you are this good at seven, my goodness me...
Please don't forget us when you're world-famous, OK?
Such a big deal, isn't it, at seven years old,
performing on this huge stage in front of all of these people?
I can't imagine how you're feeling.
But you did so well, you're so talented,
and I just can't wait to see what happens with you in your future,
so I'm really happy for you, Skylar.
Well done, darling. Thank you.
So I'm saying yes.
Skylar, of course, yes!

SPEAKS WELSH:

ALL SPEAK WELSH:
The name of the group is Welsh Of The West End.
We're a group of Welsh musical theatre singers.
There's just something about it, when you say you're Welsh,
people always say, "You can sing, then?"
It's part of our culture, isn't it?
We want to make Wales proud. We want to make Wales proud.
We're ready for you, come with me.
# I want the world to know

Hello.
How are you?
We're well, thank you. How are you?
Yeah, we're really good, thank you. So, tell us why you're here today.
We are Welsh Of The West End,
we are Welsh musical theatre performers, from Wales.
CHEERING Erm... Yay!
Have you guys performed together for a long time,
or is this a new thing for the show?
We came together back in March 2020, during that first lockdown,
because, of course, the theatre and the live music industry
was hit quite hard.
We thought it would be a good idea
to put an online performance together,
just to get something to focus on,
so we recorded from our living rooms and bathrooms
and mixed it all together,
and I think we were all amazed at the response.
This is the first time that we've actually all met as a group.
Oh, wow! Let alone singing together.
Today? Yeah.
No way. Yeah.
How lovely.
Fantastic. What song are you going to be singing?
One of our favourites from The Greatest Showman,
and it's called From Now On.
Is there a reason you chose that particular song?
There's something amazing about the lyrics
and the thought of coming home and being here at the theatre
just is amazing, so, yeah, it's special to us.
Perfect!
Go for it. Thank you.
SONG: 'From Now On'
# I saw the sun begin to dim
# And felt that winter wind Blow cold
# A man learns who is there for him
# When the glitter fades And the walls won't hold
# Cos from that rubble What remains
# Can only be what's true
# If all was lost, There's more I gained
# Cos it led me back to you
# From now on
# These eyes will not be blinded By the lights
# From now on
# What's waited till tomorrow Starts tonight
# Tonight
# Let this promise in me start
# Like an anthem in my heart
# From now on
ALL: # And we will come back home
# And we will come back home
# Home again
# And we will come back home
# Home again
# And we will come back home
# We will come back home
# Home again
# From now on
# We will come back home
# And we will come back home
# Home again
ALL SING IN WELSH
# Home again
# From now on
# Home again. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Very good, that. How good is that?
Well done, well done. Simon, what did you think?
Exceptional.
I mean, really, really, really exceptional.
Thank you so much.
Amanda? Every single one of you was pitch-perfect.
It was absolutely brilliant. Well done.
Whoa'.!
David? There's something about the Welsh, isn't there?
The Welsh are always incredible singers.
It's a great song, you delivered it in this really powerful way.
I could see a lot with this group. Fantastic.
Great song choice, great beginning, great middle, great end, great act.
I'm saying yes!
It's a yes from me!
It's a yes from me.
Genuinely amazing.
So, yeah, you've got four yeses.
# You will be found
# So when the sun comes streaming in
# Cos you'll reach up And you'll rise again
# If you only look around
# You will be found. #
If that's the first time you guys have sung together, that's scary!
Fantastic. Go and celebrate, you've earned it.
Thank you so much. Well done. Well done.
Thanks so much.

I mean, it was very Britain's Got Talent.
LAUGHING: What other show could you see something like this on?
Shall we get you on? Yeah!
Come on, let's go.
DAVID: Welcome. What's your name?
Sam Good burn. Why have you come onto Britain's Got Talent?
Is that a biscuit?
RECORD SCRATCH
Ooh. Ooh.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
That's the best start to an act we've ever had. It's a yes from us.
Hey!
He's not gonna try and put a pair of trousers on, is he?
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
That was riotously entertaining.
What am I watching here?
I was thinking, if anyone happened to tune in at a certain point,
they might get the wrong idea!
That's great. Classic BGT nonsense.
SHE SCREAMS
Oh, no, I can't even look at that!
Oh, how does she do that?
Wow. It was a brilliant act, by the way, it was horrific.
Look at David's face. LAUGHTER
I actually think I'm gonna puke.
Are you ready to perform? Come with me.
Ladies first.
Hello.
Hi, how are you?
Hi. Very well, thank you. How are you? Good, very good.
What's your name? I'm Cornelius.
Nathan. Isis.
And how do you all know each other?
We have known each other for 13 years.
We met Corn in 2019.
These two started dating. Erm... LAUGHTER
So now you're the gooseberry?
Yeah, yeah, basically.
I know the feeling.
When you two met, did you ever date?
Well, funny story... Funny story, that.
Yes.
Oh, snap!
Ooh!
We had a brief stint. But we're talking, like, 12 years ago,
that's really, like, ancient history.
Nathan described it as brief. It was actually two—and—a—half years, so...
LAUGHTER
Ooh!
Still bitter! Still bitter about that one.
Can I ask which one of you ended it?
It was mutual. Mutual. Oh, of course.
We decided acrobatics was more important, so...
Right, right.
OK, and then Cornelius came along, course he did,
and then you fell in love immediately?
Did you fall in love with me at first sight? First sight.
Aw! How long have you and Cornelius been together?
Just over two years. Oh, right.
So this is crunch time!
LAUGHTER
Anyway... Sorry, sorry.
But you all happily work as a three? Yeah.
Brilliant.
Do you now have a partner outside of this trio?
No, Amanda, thank you for bringing that up.
LAUGHTER
Well, you seem like a catch.
Thank you.
Great story, this. It's an amazing story.
Do you make a living from this trio?
Before the pandemic, we did.
Yeah. Right, OK.
We haven't really worked for the entire time,
so today is really kind of now-or-never for us.
Wow, OK. Good luck.
Good luck, all three of you. Thank you very much.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
BOTH: Aw!
It's a trapeze.
Oh, God! Oh, God!
Oh, wow.

Alesha. That was so good!
Honestly, that was fantastic.
I loved it. Thank you.
Thank you so much. I couldn't take my eyes off you,
it was so intense, wasn't it?
The skill and discipline this must take.
Hats off to you. Brilliant, loved it.
Really, really good.
David?
Is there room for a chubby guy like me in the act?
Yeah, you could be the mat. LAUGHTER
It's the funniest thing he's ever said!
I've got to be honest with you,
I found the act boring until the end.
Because I've seen this a lot,
and I thought it was almost like I was watching a rehearsal,
rather than the main act.
BOOING
No, no, I completely disagree.
Every single move you did was beautiful and poised and...
really well executed, so well done. It was amazing.
Thank you.
Right, we're gonna take a vote.
David? I am gonna say yes.
Alesha?
100% yes.
It's a yes from me.
Simon?
I just feel it was all a bit slow. What?!
BOOING
And I thought you kind of lacked showmanship.
Come on. Well, I would've said no...
but...
the end, I've got to be honest with you,
was sensational, I'm not gonna lie.
That was brave, different, I loved that.
So...
...you've got four yeses, congratulations.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Love me like you do, La-la-love me like you do
# Touch me like you do
# Ta-ta-touch me like you do... #
I thought it was brilliant.
Reading their relationship thing into everything that was happening.
"Oh, now he's got her up there..." That's what I was thinking!
"She's dropped him." Maybe that's why I enjoyed it.
Listen, go and celebrate and wind down.
Well done. Lovely to meet you. Well done.

My God, Maxwell, that was extraordinary.
Thank you. CHEERING
I mean, seriously, you were so shy and quiet, and then that happened.
Thank you. Thank you.
Your passion, and obviously, your voice
and just you, I thought made it incredible.
It was like one of those movies.
This wasn't supposed to happen, and it was brilliant.
Thank you. Amazing.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE That means a lot, thank you.
Wow, wow, wow! I mean, the hairs on my arms stood up,
literally, as soon as you started. Right.
It just felt romantic and powerful and meaningful,
and all the feels.
Thank you. Yeah, that was good.
Thank you. Thank you!
I mean, I feel for you because you're so talented.
Such an extraordinary voice.
I hope that, you know, going forward,
that you feel more appreciated because, you know,
these people were on their feet for you.
CHEERING That means the world.
I really hope that that reaction
has done something for your confidence,
because you are better than standing on a pavement.
CHEERING
Thank you very much, Amanda. Thank you.
Yes, you need to start believing in yourself, Maxwell,
because after that, you are heading for the big time.
CHEERING
Sometimes, when someone sings like that,
you can almost feel yourself
sort of levitating, can't you? Yes!
And that's happened so infrequently, and you gave us that feeling today,
so it's a pleasure to give you your first yes.
Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you.
It's an easy yes from me. Thank you, Alesha.
Absolutely, yes from me.
Thank you, Amanda. CHEERING
I'm working out how many people are in here.
I'd say about 4,000,
so that means you've got just about 4,000 yeses.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# I wanna have it all
# I wanna have it I wanna have it all... #
Oh, my God. Oh, my God!
That was amazing. Wasn't he lovely?
Maxwell! You were so quiet when we chatted earlier,
and then you go out and do that!
You just have to let it out.
Not everybody gets that kind of reaction here.
That was special. Really special.
I hope, I hope you can...
I hope that's in there. Yeah.
Well done. Thank you. Well done!
# Cos your love is biblical
# It's biblical, it's biblical. #
