The latest episode of Britain's Got Talent saw the audience reduced to tears and provided a heavy dose of nostalgia as the auditions came to an end. Fans of the ITV talent show have seen plenty of different acts audition for Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams over the last few weeks.
But the last of the series, before a week of live semi-final shows and the grand final next week, did come with some complaints from viewers. The latest episode on Saturday night (May 28) kicked off with a compilation of a few different acts.
They did, however, all have something in common. First to take to the stage was nine-year-old Mischa Palor from Birmingham who wowed the audience and judges with a dance to Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Next was 12-year-old Cormac Thompson who gave his rendition of Snow Patrol's Run, followed by children's choir, Movies to Musicals, and an emotional performance from Attraction Juniors.
And many watching from the comfort of their sofas took to social media to point out that there were a lot of young acts at the start of the show and they didn't seem too pleased about it.
@lostintimeline tweeted: "No more children please no more #BGT." @Willswhinge commented: "We might see an act that's over 12 years old tonight if we're lucky but I wouldn't hold my breath #BGT." @JayHBaker94 wrote: "Tonight's episode of BGT is sponsored by ToysRus #BGT."
@LyndaPaceAvery1 suggested: "There should be a kids #BGT. Judges always say all kids are "adorable". #TheVoiceKids works why not #BGT." @IndeedItsMark replied: "Oh no! It’s a children choir now. This is the kids edition #BGT." @stephenjhalbert added: "Is this Britain's Got Talent or Children Have Talent? #BGT."
The show did, however, get some adult acts on stage including a life-saving doctor who Amanda has invited to audition on the show. Bambang Atmaja was surprised with his chance to audition on Amanda's Heart breakfast show and viewers then got to see him perform a rendition of Beyonce’s Listen.
But there was a surprise later in the programme when The Teletubbies made their way to the stage for a performance which had the audience wearing party hats and dancing and clapping along. And during their appearance, it was revealed that Cowell had helped the children's TV character release their first single as they were signed to his record label at the time.
The usually stone-faced judge received a hug from the four characters at the end of their performance and said: "I’ve missed you, I’ve missed you so much, I’m quite emotional now."
