MUSIC: 'Land Of Hope And Glory' by Elgar
Every year, it's our job to find talent
to perform at the Royal Variety Performance.
CHEERING
Over the years, some of our best acts have performed
in front of King Charles and the rest of the royal family.
The bar for talent this year has already been raised.
What a performance!
Absolute superstars.
You just blew the roof off.
Bye.
We need an act...
good enough...
to perform in front of the King.
Oh, ye! BELL RINGS
Auditions continue.
Today's the big day. DOG GROWLS
# God, who made thee mighty... #
Imagine we get to perform in front of the royal family.
# Make thee mightier... #
Only the best of the best can win!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Hello, hello, hello. Hello.
So, tell me who we have here.
I'm Baoji, and you guys are... Baoji's Class!
CHEERING AMANDA: Hey!
I'm a teacher that currently tours schools,
and Baniji's Class is a collective of nine different schools
across London. Oh, really?
And today, we're going to be performing a song
for the new King called New King.
Oh, nice. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
And what's your hope off the back of doing Britain's Got Talent?
We hope to win and perform in front of the new King himself,
King Charles II.
Fantastic! BRUNO: Oh!
AMANDA: Wow! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
How did you feel this morning when you woke up,
knowing you were coming here today?
Tired. LAUGHTER
Oh, I feel it every day. Oh, bless him.
SIMON: I get it. Have you woken up?
Are you ready for this?
I'm definitely ready. Yes, let's do it!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Good luck, good luck.

AMANDA: Loved that!
MUSIC: 'Dancing In The Street' by David Bowie and Mick Jagger
# Calling out around the world
# Are you ready For a brand-new beat? #
Sometimes, when we see these school acts,
no-one's smiling, everyone looks miserable.
This was the opposite. CHEERING
Brilliant, fun, very British - just what we're looking for.
Honestly, I think if King Charles I
was sat up in the box now, he would have absolutely loved it.
CHEERING
I'm saying yes.
I say yes! I'm saying yes!
I really need to think about this...
PERSON: Say yes! No, I need to think about this.
PERSON: Say it!
Throwing pies in each others' faces, eating pizza...
AUDIENCE CALLS OUT
That's exactly the school I would like to be at.
It's four yeses.
CHILDREN SCREAM, CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Yes, yes, yes, yes!

How proud of that would you be if it won,
and you put it on the Royal Variety?
Yes. # Around the world

Who's the naughty one?
ALL: Boris. Of course!
I could've guessed that.
How old are you, Boris? Six.
AUDIENCE: Aw! Aw, bless him.
If you won, what would mean more to you -
performing in front of King Charles or winning 250 grand?
King Charles.
Oh, oh. Really?
Simon! Simon, you've got to remember,
it's not all about the money.
LAUGHTER
Erm, I-I... 100% agree. BRUNO: Oh!

You are? Are you?
Yeah, well, I just lost my job at the cat sanctuary. Did you?
Yeah, they reduced me hours. ANT TITTERS
They had. Genuinely? No, that was a joke.
Oh. Tough crowd. Yeah.

Thanks for clearing that up, Steve.
Markus, the judges are ready for you now. If you'd like to follow me.
OK, thank you.
OK. OK.
Wow! Cos Dec didn't laugh at his joke...
No, I did laugh - in the wrong place.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Looking good, Simon!
How are you? You good? WHOOPING
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE CONTINUES
Hello. Hello.
And what's your name, please?
My name's Markus Birdman. And where you from, Markus?
From Essex. WHOOPING
How old are you, Markus? I'm 52. OK, and what do you do?
I used to be in a band, but from that,
my band mates suggested maybe I should try comedy.
Tell me, what's the WORST gig you've ever done?
HE CHUCKLES The worst gig I've ever done?
I drew... I threw... Er, I... Hmm.
I went all the way to Plymouth and was wearing leather-soled shoes,
ran onto stage.
It was very wet, I slipped straight over into the front, er...
landed with my face in the front row and, er, never really recovered.
You'd think someone would find that funny.
OK. And do you think you can win?
Erm, I'd like to think so, yes. OK, Markus.
WHOOPING Well, good luck.
Thank you very much. Thank you. APPLAUSE
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Erm...
I will start with a joke. Seems like a good idea.
Erm...
Kids are the biggest source of joy you will ever have.
Trouble is, they do tend to ruin
every other source of joy... you ever have.
LAUGHTER
I hear other parents say stuff like, “I'd take a bullet for my child.”
Would you? LAUGHTER
I'd take a bullet for my child, put it in a gun and shoot her.
LAUGHTER
My daughter's now 18, I can't believe it.
She's one of those teenagers that wears tons of make-up,
you know, she makes RuPaul look like a trucker.
The whole pandemic was kicking off, and I did what many people did here,
which was to spend the next two years fairly drunk.
"I need a drink! Well, it's only half five.
"Better wait till six o'clock."
"All right, 5.45, I'm opening the drink.
"Six o'clock, woof! All right, new plan -
"one more at six thirty, another one at seven,
"and then I will get up and make my daughter some breakfast.”
So, a couple of years ago, I had a stroke. That's what happened.
People don't always believe me,
cos I perhaps don't look like a stroke survivor to you,
but what you fail to appreciate is I'm actually 23.
I do a lot of work for the Stroke Association, for obvious reasons.
They asked me to do a benefit gig.
Now, you would think, as a two-time stroke survivor, as I am...
you ought to be able to make jokes about surviving strokes
to other stroke survivors... LAUGHTER
Where's this going?
No! LAUGHTER
At one point, someone stood up and went,
"Stroke victims have feelings, too, mate!"
I went, "I know. But only down half the side of their body, so..."
LAUGHTER
When I was in hospital, I was very heavily sedated,
and, erm, I was wearing, like, one of those hospital gowns.
So your backside is hanging out for some reason. It's hideous!
The "bum cape”, as I liked to call it.
LAUGHTER So there I was, heavily sedated.
I needed to go to the toilet. It was quite late at night.
I parted the bum cape, backed into the toilet, sat down.
So far, so good... were it not for the fact
that there was already a blind naked man sat there.
Now, I don't know if you've ever sat naked on another naked man...
No, never.
What you might expect is the person you just sat on to go, "Get off!"
What happens is the most beautiful middle-class English thing
I think I've ever heard in my life,
he just went, "Oh, I'm sorry, who's that?"
Thank you very much. Thank you.
# I have to praise you
# I have to praise you... # Very good! Very good!
Oh, my God. Brilliant.
Markus, honestly... I don't think any of us were expecting that.
LAUGHTER Bruno?
Oh, I love it. You're not afraid to go there.
Your delivery is absolutely spot on.
APPLAUSE Every gag, you hit the jackpot.
# I have to praise you... #
Alesha?
I think what I like about you, your style is quite dry.
I thought every single joke was funny.
The kids thing - I am with you, my friend!
Well done. Thank you. Thank you.
Everything you said tonight on stage, I HOWLED at.
I mean, I'm glad I'm wearing my big knickers tonight,
that's all I'm saying. Well done.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I honestly wasn't expecting this. No, me neither.
You were just brilliant! WHOOPING
And we've never heard jokes like this.
I absolutely love you. That is a yes from me.
WHOOPING CONTINUES
It's an absolute yes from me.
Alesha? It's a yes from me.
Bruno? It's yes from me. I'm still laughing.
# Praise you
# I have to praise you
# I have to praise you... # Thank you, thank you.
Yeah.
Hurray! Oh, I want one of those!
SIMON: My God, that was brilliant. So good.
He was great.
# I have to praise you... #
DEC: Go for it. Good luck, chaps! Have fun.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
ALESHA: Hello. Hiya.
All right? How are you?
Not bad. Yeah, good thanks.
Who do we have here? My name's Duane, he's Ashford.
And the group's called Simon Heart.
Who's Simon? Where's Simon, then?
Simon cos my surname's Simon,
and Heart because the music comes from the heart.
You said he would like it. LAUGHTER
BOTH: Ah!
I thought his name was Heart. It's so confusing!
ALESHA: Do you have a day job, boys? I work in children's homes.
And I'm a security guard. OK.
MUSIC: 'Step On' by Happy Mondays
'Me and Ashford have known each other since we were kids.'
Yeah. We used to live in the same street.
'We've been performing together for 25 years.'
I just love entertaining.
Even when I'm offstage, it's like on stage.
# Gonna stamp out your fire... #
'No-one ever taught us what we could do, we could just do it.'
Yeah.
'Our big dream is Madison Square Garden..." 'Yeah.'
"..London O2 Arena...' 'Yeah.' "..American Super Bowl'
And to perform for the King would be an unbelievable honour.
CHEERING
What's the big dream for you guys?
Obviously, do an act that can...
be performed all around the world for years to come.
All right, the stage is yours.
MICROPHONE FEEDBACK

Simon Cowell, I calculate the 83% probability

Jason, stop being a crank!
IN JASON STATHAM VOICE: Who're you calling a crank? Jason Statham.
There's only one problem with Britain's Got Talent judges -
you never understand much about what's being said.
It's just judgey. LAUGHTER
But you, Bruno Tonioli,
if you don't put us through to the next round,
I'll come back looking for you.
Optimus, let's roll out.
IN OPTIMUS PRIME VOICE: I am Optimus Prime.
And I am here to entertain.

AUDIENCE GASP DEC: What's going on?
I don't know, I don't even know what they do, what they're...
What they're called. ..what they're called.

# But who's gonna have your back When it's all done
# It's all good when you're little You have pure fun

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
So, which one's Simon?
Who was that last one, where you were just doing that dance?
That was our self. LAUGHTER
Duane did well, didn't he? I don't know!
This act was like a little bit of this
and a little bit of that, and we'll throw a bit of that in.
Yeah. I bloody loved it!
LAUGHTER But I would die if...
"King Charles Il1,
"this is what we've got for you for the Royal Variety"!
A bit of British culture.
All right, then, let's take a vote. Oh, it's a yes!
They're gonna put them through! I'm saying yes.
Honestly, they're gonna put them through.
It's a no from me. Oh! Just saying.
AUDIENCE BOOS Simon, what did you think?
It was hits and very big miss... LAUGHTER
However, personality is a big part of this show.
I like both of you. CHEERING
You've got three yesses. Thank you!
What the hell have we just witnessed?!
I can't believe you put them through.
Just two geezers having a go.
Thing is, I've got more voices, you know?
ANT: Do us one. QUACKS HARSHLY

You know why I'm here? Because Olena got in touch with me
to tell me how wonderful
you have been to her and her son as Nazari.
Are you...? Oh, hello, my darling.
How wonderful you've been to them since they came from Ukraine,
helping them, getting you a chance to dance and a chance to shine.
Olena, can you tell me all about it, my darling?
I can't thank United 2 Dance enough
for everything what they done for my family and for my son.
Since we arrived here, they support us,
they sponsored Nazari, they present him clothes for dance.
So, it's like being welcomed a new family.
No words will be enough to say
how we are grateful to United 2 Dance.
They change our life.

You were so in sync and together and polished.
Honestly, one of the best acts we've had like this
in a very long time.
Well done. CHEERING
AMANDA: I completely agree.
It just felt like you got a really good mix of your age and the fun,
and all of that came out on stage.
And I can see as well that you feel like a family on stage.
It's amazing.
This was a brilliant audition.
I mean, you put a lot of people,
who are much older than you doing this, to shame, seriously.

How are you feeling about today? Yeah, Mum?
I've cried three times already. SHE CHUCKLES
Being here at Britain's Got Talent, to him, it's a momentous occasion.
This is completely out of anything I've ever attempted.
Today, when I'm standing in the wings,
watching my son on that stage,
I am going to be the proudest mother.
I will be delighted if he does get the yes, yes, yes, yes.
Without her constant encouragement and love and care,
I wouldn't, really, have been able to accomplish anything.
# You're gonna see me rise... #
CHEERING
He's not had it easy,
and I just think he deserves a break.
He deserves something really good to happen.
And I'm really hoping it will.
Welcome, and what's your name, please?
I am...
Er, my name's Travis George, I'm 22,
and, erm...
and I'm here from South Wales.
And what brought you on the show this year?
I believe that Britain's Got Talent is the greatest opportunity
for any person who wants to try and achieve their dream in the UK.
I...
I love singing, that's always been the dream.
What is your dream?
What kind of singer are you? Where would you like to be?
I mean, tell me.
Erm...
... HE STUTTERS
I...
OK, Travis, so...
big day.
Come on, boy. APPLAUSE
Come on, boy!
CHEERING
All right, Travis, best of luck. We do hope this goes well.
Good luck.
SONG: 'Stars' from Les Miserables
# There
# Out in the darkness
# A fugitive running
# Fallen from God
# With order and light
# You are the sentinels
# Silent and sure
# Keeping watch in the night
# You know your place in the sky
# You hold your course and your aim
# And each in your season Returns and returns
# And is always the same
# And if you fall as Lucifer fell
# You fall in flame
# And so it must be
# For so it is written
# On the doorway to paradise
# That those who falter And those who fall
# Must pay the price
# Lord, let me find him
# That I may see him
# Safe behind bars
# I will never rest
# Till then
# This I swear
by
# The stars. #
HOLDS NOTE
# If I lay here
# If I just lay here
# Would you live with me And just forget the world... #
CHEERING, APPLAUSE
Get in!
# All that I ever was
# Is here in your perfect eyes
# They're all I can see... # Look at that!
He's good, isn't he?
Yeah, he's good. Come here.

did it all... #
I started singing when I was a teenager.
I remember in class, we had some choir lessons sometimes,
we used to sing.
I got into performing when I was in high school.
I tried a drama class,
and the first time I stepped on that stage,
I felt something really special,
and I understood that that's where I was supposed to be.
The ultimate dream would be... Yeah, to perform in the whole world.
Yeah. Yeah. And, er... be a musician.
I'm here because I remember when I was a teenager,
I would spend hours and hours and days on YouTube.
I used to watch the judges.
I have watched a lot of performances,
so I really want to convince them that I have my place here, you know?
That I deserve to be here.
HE TRILLS
Today means a lot.
It's something that I've been waiting for a long time.
If I can have, like, four yeses, it would be the perfect scenario.

LAUGHTER

And I remember when I started watching that show,
I felt a lot of inspiration, and I said to myself,
"Maybe one day, I'll be on that stage,” so...
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Well, here you are.
