ITV's hit entertainment show is back with a bang for a sixth series as

Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden are joined by Alesha Dixon and David Walliams

on a new-look judging panel

Britain’s Got Talent is back on the road with the Judges trawling the length and breadth of the UK in search of Britain’s best talent.

Hosted by award-winning TV favourites Ant & Dec, Simon Cowell is joined on the exciting new panel by actor and comedian David Walliams; singer, songwriter and dancer Alesha Dixon; and returning Judge, Amanda Holden.

This year the winner will not only have the opportunity to perform at the 2012 Royal Variety Performance, they will also receive a life changing £500,000 - £250,000 of which will come from Simon Cowell's own pocket.

Expect the unexpected on Britain's Got Talent, anything goes from dance troupes to acrobats, magicians to comedians and dancing dogs to mind-blowing contortionists. The show is open to any performer of any age, from any background, with any talent - all they need is a skill and star quality which they think will impress the Judges.

 

 

 

 

Ant:      Welcome to Britain’s Got Talent

 

Dec:    The show that goes to extremes to bring you the freshest new acts around. 

Ant:      All they have to do is impress our brand new judging panel.            

 

Dec:    Get past buzzers and wow our live audience. 

Ant:      Who wins that will walk away with a spot on the Royal Variety and half a million pounds.

 

Dec:    So there’s only one thing left to do, let’s find out if Britain’s got talent.  Oh my god that’s amazing. 

 

 

BLACKPOOL

Britain’s Got Talent has arrived in Blackpool. 

And everyone’s hoping history doesn’t repeat itself.  When it came to town four years ago there was one judge left particularly unimpressed.

Simon. 

Clip

Simon: It’s a no.  The worst day of auditions I have ever, ever, ever done in my life. 

 

Dec:    Yes we’re back in the home of UK entertainment. 

Ant:      And all this lot are here to prove Blackpool has got talent. 

 

Backstage contestant conversations

Ashley: I think if I was to get buzzed it probably would be Simon, it would perhaps make him bored. 

 

Judges Arrivals

David:  Have Ant and Dec been past?

Audience: Yeah, I’ve seen Ant and Dec.

David:  Simon Cowell?

Audience: I haven’t seen him yet.

David:  He’s still in bed.  

Backstage

Laura [Terrific Two]: I’m a bit nervous of what Simon will think.

Crew:  Do you know what the best thing to do is, is just give him your best smile.  Just walk out, really confident and give him your best smile. 

 

Audience member: Blackpool has got talent and I just think it wasn’t our turn last time.  I think Simon will definitely; definitely change his mind this time about Blackpool. 

And with Blackpool still shell shocked from Simon’s last visit, there’s only one

question on everyone’s lips.

Audience: What do you think of Blackpool?

Simon: I love Blackpool. 

Audience: Simon Cowell’s just another man, he’s a man at the end of the day who’s done well for himself and that’s it. 

Simon: Are there any fish and chip shops here?  If it’s sunny I’d like to go on the big dipper. 

Contestant: I need to go to the toilet again.

Ant:      Please welcome David Walliams, Alesha Dixon and Simon Cowell.

LONDON 

Dec:    Welcome back to Britain’s Got Talent where our search has moved here to London. 

 

Ant:      Hundreds of acts are waiting to show the judges what they’re made of so let’s see what England’s capital has to offer.

 

London’s hopefuls are making their way to auditions with each one hoping they’ve got what it takes to impress the judges.

Crew:  What’s the name of your act please?

Carole Anne:   Deja Vu.  We love David Walliams and we want him on stage with us eventually.

Carole Anne:   Is it Walliams or Walliams?

Deja Vu: Yeah, David Walliams.

Carole Anne: Walliams or Walliams?

Deja Vu: Walliams.  Amanda-

Deja Vu : Yeah but she’s not here today.

Carole Anne: Ah yeah, it’s Carmen Electra, I keep calling her Carmen Miranda.  I love you very much.  The one that I’m a bit nervous of, I have to say Alesha Dixon.  She was in a girl band so I’m hoping that she’s going to relate to us.

Crew:  There’s a rumour that Simon’s actually going to turn up on time today.       

 

Alesha: You’re joking.

Carole Anne: It’s always a bloke that makes your day you know that don’t you girls. I just want to say I want this to go to the next level.  We are Deja Vu, we are a vocal group and we are aged from 30 up to 56.  18 months ago I put a casting call out because it was my dream to have an older woman band because there are no older women groups out there.  I think Little Mix.

DejaVu: Think Little Mix.

Carole Anne: Older Little Mix though yeah.  And we’ve got just as much to give as they have.

The ultimate would be to, I’m going to say girls, I want to perform at the O2 and I want these

girls with me.  I want us to be the headline.  Do you know what-

DejaVu: What?

Carole Anne: - we always do before we go on stage.

DejaVu: Go on. 

Carole Anne: We’ve got to say a little prayer.  Madonna does prayers, Lady Gaga does

prayers.  Come on guys, do a prayer.  You know why I’m here god because I believe in

everybody here today because we’re all living our dream.  God bless everyone.

DejaVu: Amen. 

Dec:  Ready to step on the Britain’s Got Talent stage, they’re ready to see if you’re ready to

do it.

 

Carole Anne:   Yeah, thank you.  I hope so. 

Dec:    All yours, I can’t wait to see it.

 

Ant:      Good luck, good luck.

Dec:    Good luck.

Déjà vu, Girl Group, Various ages, London

 

David:  What’s your name?

Carole Anne:   Well we’re Deja Vu.

David : Okay.

Carole Anne:   My name’s Carol-Anne.

David:  Okay and how-

Carole Anne:   Hello David, sorry.

David:  Hello yes it’s me.

Carole Anne:   Hello Alesha.

David:  Yes Alesha Dixon.

Carole Anne:   Carmen.

David:  What about Simon, don’t miss him out. 

Carole Anne:   I’ve got a lot to say to you Simon.

Simon: I’m here.

Carole Anne:   I came here today because you’re my dream, you’re my inspiration.

David:  These ladies here, are they your friends or are you related to them?

Carole Anne:   Well these girls are all following in my dream and they saw the casting call.

David:  Oh right okay and what did you ask for?

Carole Anne:   An older Little Mix.

Alesha: An older Little Mix?  Excellent.

Simon: Can I just be clear so you see a gap in the market for an older girl group?

Carole Anne:   Yes I do.  As you get older the voices get better.

Simon: No I get it.  I’m really actually looking forward to this. 

Carole Anne:   Oh my goodness.

Simon: I’m intrigued.  Let’s go.

Alesha: Go on girls. 

PERFORMS – Adele, Rumour has it

Twist and Pulse Group: We all work so hard throughout the whole rehearsal, the intensity is

quite hard to take to be honest. 

Ashley: When we finish-

Glen:   Everyone just lays out on the floor.

Ashley: They can actually take off their tops, roll them in a ball and like a waterfall comes

out.  It’s nasty isn’t it.

Twist and Pulse Group: We all sweat loads but I think Marjan the most.

Glen:   We had each other and they’ve got all of them.

Ashley: Everyone, plus us.

Glen: Plus us.
