DEC: Ah, back in lovely Manchester.
I wonder how the judges are getting to the auditions, eh?
Helicopter? Speedboat? Jetpacks?
If it's jetpacks, I'd be very annoyed.
I love a jetpack. Yeah.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Hello. Hi!
Very nice to meet you. Same to you.
And what's your name, please? I am Kevin Finn.
Kevin, where are you from? Uh, Warrington.
Are you? CHEERING
He doesn't sound like he's from Warrington.
OK. And what do you do, Kevin?
I-I attempt comedy. OK.
How long have you been doing it for? For about five years.
OK, and how's it going?
Yep. OK. LAUGHTER
Yeah. Got it.
My name is Kevin Finn, I am 30 years old,
and I live in Warrington, in the UK.
# Just a city boy... #
I grew up in Canada, in Ontario, a place called Toronto.
I have an English father and a very eccentric Irish mother.
So, I moved from Canada to the UK just about eight months ago
to pursue a career in comedy
because nobody in Canada thought I was funny.
I love how friendly and silly you guys are.
I'm a huge fan of Billy Connolly and Peter Kay.
I'm a full-time husband.
So, I'm just... I'm the classic struggling artist.
I basically perform for three people in a pub.
# Don't stop believin'... #
If I won and got that money,
I would tour around the country doing this full-time
and finally try to start a family and get a home here.
It would just... be just so life-changing.
It would be an absolute dream to win it.
A stand-up comedian. It's a really tough thing to do.
Yes. Did you decide this year, this is your year?
Uh, yes.
I... I feel like I want to really give it a shot
and try and prove to myself,
and other people, that I can do it.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Good luck, Kevin. Thank you.
Hi!
A lot of nervous energy in here. And I know why.
I know what's going on.
You're hearing my accent, you're seeing the size of me,
and I know what you Northerners are thinking, right?
LANCASHIRE ACCENT: Bloody 'ell. Right?
LAUGHTER It's a good accent.
Sounds like your husband.
Another fat American on t'stage. Right?
We don't like your kind, you Yank. Right?
You went and got on t'wrong talent show.
This is Britain, mate. It's not America.
You're in Manny, mate. Right? LAUGHTER
OWN ACCENT: But relax, guys, I'm not American.
I'm Canadian! Yeah!
CHEERING
Yeah, let's get loose in here!
Yes! LAUGHTER
I actually moved here about six months ago,
and I love your country so far. It's fantastic.
I have a complaint.
Cos where I'm from in Canada,
you could drive 12 hours in any direction, OK...
CANADIAN ACCENT: And we pretty much sound like that, y'know?
Everybody sounds fun, OK? We're having a good time, right?
LAUGHTER
Not here.
You drive 12 minutes in any direction,
it feels like you're in a whole different country.
LAUGHTER What is that about?
I love the Yorkshire accent. Very friendly accent, right?
My nana, she's actually from Yorkshire.
YORKSHIRE ACCENT: From Huddersfield, right?
She has the friendly accent, but she's not friendly.
Every time I open the door, it's the same.
"Bloody 'ell, look at t'size of you. Oh!"
LAUGHTER
"Swear to God, Kev, smell the prediabetes off you.
"I do. It's rank."
HOOTING, LAUGHTER
Right? And then, what do nanas do?
After they harass you for all that time,
make you realise, "I'm never gonna eat a sweet again,"
what do nanas do?
YORKSHIRE ACCENT: "Let me pop on t'kettle,
"get you some Hobnobs and some Penguins, right?
"You like them. Right, lovey?
"Let's get that prediabetes to pro." LAUGHTER
"Right? Let's have a blow-out."
Anybody ever heard of a place called Barnsley?
CHEERING Yeah? Or should I say...
YORKSHIRE ACCENT: ..Bah-nsley, right?
LAUGHTER
Bah-ah-arnsley!
Sounds like that whole place is possessed by barnyard animals.
LAUGHTER
I made the mistake, when I first moved here,
I was driving around, got lost in Barnsley.
God bless me, OK?
LAUGHTER
Very frightened, very nervous.
So I went to the safest place in any British town, and what is that?
The big Tesco.
LAUGHTER
The big Tesco.
Oh, that's my refuge, that's nice.
LAUGHTER
Found a lovely lady. She seemed nonthreatening.
I go up to her, I said,
"Hi, yeah, I'm just looking for a lint roller for my clothes.
"Just need a lint roller."
This woman looked at me like I had three heads, OK? She goes...
BARNSLEY ACCENT: " 'Ey, up, love, sorry?
"Don't understand nowt. Right?"
LAUGHTER
What is that? Are we speaking the same...
What is going on? What does "nowt" mean?
Is that a swear word? What is that?
Then I realised nowt means "nothing", right?
LAUGHTER
People in Yorkshire can't say the whole letters or sentences, right?
"Yorkshire alphabet's just six-and-a-quarter letters.
"That's it."
LAUGHTER
Thank you so much, guys. You've been fantastic.
My name is Kevin. Thank you. CHEERING

LAUGHTER
Your vocal range is insane,
and the gymnastics around your voice was amazing.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I appreciate that so much. Thank you.
I think your voice is really special, actually.
Very quirky, different.
I love people that don't follow everyone else,
and so you were being authentic to yourself...
Thank you so much. ..which speaks to me majorly,
so I thought it was a great audition. Well done.
Thank you.
Bruno? I was so intrigued
because obviously, you have a unique voice.
Some sections were mind-blowing.
Some transitions,
you know when you go from the lower, deep to the head voice,
you know what happens. Yeah.
If you nail that, there's no-one else like you.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Thank you so much...
# I did it all... #
Simon?
I was looking around during the audition,
you know, I think it's one of those auditions,
not everyone's expected to like the same things.
There were times I thought, "This is really good."
There were other times where I thought,
"Actually, this is getting a bit boring, actually."
But... BOOING
That's what I'm saying, you know,
if we all bought the same record, you know, life would be a bit weird.
Yeah, 100%. ALESHA: Exactly.
Let's take a vote. Bruno.
Yes, yes from me.
Thank you.
I'm saying yes. Wicked.
CHEERING What do you think, Simon?
# Hope when you take that jump
# You don't fear the fall
# Hope when the water rises
# You built a wall... #
I do think you're very talented
and that you come over as a very sincere person
who really wants this break.
AUDIENCE SHOUT
I think you're interesting,
and I think that's a really, really good thing.
So...
you deserve a shot. It's a yes, well done.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
You've got four yeses, you're through. Amazing. Amazing.
# I did it all... #
That's literally a dream. Can I hug you? Is that OK?
# I did it all... #
How polite.
No-one ever does this.
Thank you. I appreciate it. Nice to meet you.
Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you for saying hello...
# With every broken bone
# I swear I lived. #
Yes! Thank you. Double hug.
You get the double hug, Ace. I appreciate it.
Double hug. How was it for you? It was really fun. Yeah?
Probably more nerve-wracking than I thought. Really?
What a nice boy.
Oh, he's adorable.
Doesn't matter how confident anyone is,
everyone has their thing they've got to work through.
Can't wait to see more of you. Thank you very much.
Well done. Well done.

MUSIC: 'It's Coming' by Isabelle Engman
AMANDA: One more.
AUDIENCE: Ooh!
Oh, my gosh.
BELL TOLLS
ALESHA: What's going on?
BRUNO: Whoo-ooh-hoo-hoo.
What's happened? This is terrifying.
We've been here before.
EERIE MUSIC PLAYS
Oh, my God. That's that scary woman that took me into the basement.
We have come from a time where there is no magic.
A time when childlike wonder and the feeling of magic
has been destroyed... through technology.
And without magic, the world's crumbling,
it's turned to nothing.
It's just turned to fog.
And as hard as it might be to believe
that we've somehow travelled in time,
we can provide you with some kind of proof.
If I were to ask you to choose, for example, one of these cards,
I can tell you that I know that you will choose the four of clubs.
And I know that you'll choose the two of hearts.
And I know that because we've been here before,
and we've already seen this happen.
So, would you touch any card you'd like? Just touch one, yes.
Take it out. Good.
And, Alesha, would you touch one as well?
Just take one out.
I know, even though all the cards are totally different -
I've seen it happen already.
I know that you have, Bruno, the four of clubs. Have a look.
What?
AUDIENCE GASPS
And I know that you have the two of hearts. Wow.
APPLAUSE
CHEERING
I'm impressed.
Amanda. Yes.
Can you dry out the teacup for me and place it back down?
Perfect. You just do the saucer as well for me.
Perfect.
We're gonna place the saucer on top of the cup.
Hold your hands out now. I want you to take hold of this.
Hold it up really high.
Now, for us to travel through time, to travel through a portal,
we actually turn to dust.
But when we manipulate time...
..we damage the very fabric of reality.
Everything is slipping through our fingers.
And the world is turning to fog.
Things aren't where they're supposed to be.
Look inside the cup.
Oh, my gosh.
That sand is in the cup. ALESHA: Oh, my God.
AUDIENCE GASPS
Sometime in the future, we found a journal.
As we started to study the journal, we noticed that every page contains
a different theory about time travel.
Bruno, hold your finger out like this.
I'm gonna riffle down the pages,
and I want you just to put your finger
in one of these pages right now.
This one? Yeah. OK.
Page 73.
This is how to travel into someone's memory.
This page describes to us how that feeling
that you sometimes get in the back of your head,
that you might've seen something before,
it's more than just a feeling.
It's actually there to provide you with proof
that you really are reliving something.
While he does that, Alesha, Amanda,
I would love you both to examine these dice.
Roll them gently a few times on the desk.
Make sure they're regular dice, that they roll on different numbers.
Would you kindly roll that into the bowl?
And let's see, you have rolled the number...
Four.
Amanda, would you do the same thing, please?
Would you please roll into the bowl as well?
A six. Perfect.
Four and six.
BRUNO: Oh, my, look.
As we start to play with and collapse time and space,
somewhat hard to tell
if we are on the outside of the hourglass and looking in,
or if maybe we might really be on the inside,
and we're looking out.
From the past to the present and the present to the future,
magic can only be protected
by those who possess the ability for childlike wonder.
And those who can take that feeling
and carry it into the future.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Good to see you, Ben.
Bang on time.
Colin, Elizabeth.
Feels like 2024.
Simon, can I just say? You are looking amazing...
You are Bruno.
LAUGHTER
Good to see you, Bruno.
My name's Aidan.
Sometimes, the things that feel like
they're happening spontaneously in the present
have actually been written into our lives far in the past.
The numbers you chose earlier
couldn't have been more random, yeah?
But long, long before tonight's show,
Ben had seen them.
And he knew these numbers would be the only thing
that proves time travel is real.
So he wrote them down in a place where they could never get lost
and never be altered.
Random numbers chosen in this very moment.
A four and a two from a deck of cards.
A random book opened to page 73.
And, of course, two dice rolled to the numbers four and six.
Numbers hidden by the passage of time.
And now proof that that feeling at the back of Ben's head
is more than just a feeling.
SHAVER BUZZES
Don't worry, you've got this, Aidan.
What?
