They were just wonderful, whenim64. I really do hope they win.

Wow - Jonathon and Charlotte the opera singers were amazing - I could listen to them for hours.

I love BGT - DH hates it and is sulking because I've hidden the remote so he can't watch Antiques Roadshow. I love Pudsey and so do my two Jack Russells, I tried to get them to dance with me last night but they put themselves to bed.

Looking forward to it too. They are good, though I think boy has been ill recently. Hope it goes well for them.

OH! Didn't realise, Ceesnan I'm glad I asked! 'Him in the other chair' just checked Radio Times to see what time - 7.30pm. smile

They are on tonight.

I've not been following it, but heard about Pudsey the dog today, so we're watching ITV2+1 at the moment waiting for Pudsey the dog to come on! What happened to the young lad who was on the first programme? He sang like Pavarotti, and had a girl singing with him?

I just can't bear it!! And if I catch a glimpse of The Voice whilst changing channels, I put my hands over my eyes and make enough noise to drown it out - yuk!! For my money these programmes just feed into the idea that you do not have to work for your successes, but celebrity will drop into your lap - give me the Young Musician of the Year any day! - apart from the dreadful presentation of the programme.

I love BGT! I was a little disappointed to see that Ashleigh and Pudsey were in the same semi final as Only Boys Aloud, because I adore both acts, so I was thrilled that they both got through to the final, although I`m secretly rooting for the Welsh boys choir, they`re wonderful, and I think that the Queen would love them.

I also love that funny relationship between David Walliams and Simon Cowell. My money is on Pudsey - his owner says she has something special lined up for the final. smile

I love watching it if only to see David Walliams wind up Simon Cowell grin

I am a closet BGT watcher, too. Simon Cowell seems thrilled by the dancing dog Pudsey but I fel once you've seen him once...I'm sure they must spread the promising acts out across the week, otherwise you could have some pretty dud shows. I sit there wondering, 'why am I watching this?' but it is weirdly compelling hmm

I confess to having watched BGT this weekend! I know I'm not the only one! What I wondered was do they have some kind of 'seeding' system whereby the best acts are spread over all the semi-finals. There seemed to be several acts on last night's show which could have progressed to the final - the girl with the electronic violin, for example and all the judges had seemed to think highly of the boy band which came third. My money is on Pudsey the cute dancing dog and Ashley his trainer.
