Auditions in BOTH of those places? I could hit manchester with a stone from the top of the tower 
Who decides these locations? So far we've had London, Cardiff, Manchester, London, London, London, Birmingham, London, Manchester, Birmingham, London ... anyone see where i'm going here!
I guess calling the show:
England and annexed kingdoms have got talent
was a tad too long :rolleyes:

I believe that Birmingham was the closest? the trenchcoat/flasher guy was from Plymouth.
If they want to call this show Britain's Got Talent, i think they need a serious look at their audition locations, the outlying areas of the UK seem to get ignored (and i'm not just talking about Scotland, the poster above is spot on with the South West of England, etc)
There is a 'spine' of places in the UK, and the rest of us just have to suffer. Up here you are lucky if there are any big concerts outside of Glasgow, and i love it when you get really big acts (i remember Madonna doing this) coming to London for 7 nights and calling it a UK tour :rolleyes:
However, when it's your own tv networks, they should know better
I don't get the fixation with Manchester and Birmingham. London yes, its the capital. But there are other large cities too, what about Newcastle or Leeds or Sheffield, or Liverpool? They could just as easily hold the North West auditions in The Liverpool Empire.
Not when it's stones throw from Manchester
I don't think they even DID a round of auditions in Scotland last year, and i'm not sure if they have done any this time around, but they tend just to do one place, usually Glasgow, as if everyone in Scotland can just get to Glasgow in 10 mins :rolleyes:
I'm surprised they don't do Newcastle or Liverpool - I know it would make the logistics of putting the programme on air slightly harder - the series would have to be longer - but they know it's popular and people would still watch....I'd be interested to know how they decide on what locations to travel to.
And the centre of the known Universe.
Whats the matter with you all, we gave you Les Dawson and erm erm
Seriously, i can't recall any Scottish auditions last year, and i do remember a few comments along the lines of 'Englands got talent' being aimed at the show due to the lack of auditions up north
Surely if the auditon shows will be lasting for seven weeks, they could have covered one city per epiosde instead of mixing them all up?
I'm dreading watching it next week after what was said in the preview
They've made it sound really bad!
bad decision to choose here
And if they go back next year
I just hope it doesn't show the Fylde in a bad light, lets see what happens.
aaa well, tis our hidden "gem"
Glad someone else thinks this too - it drives me mad that each show whips around the cities every five minutes. The American Idol format of each show being dedicated to auditions in a single city makes much more sense.
I thought that, too. But I also reckon that it might have been a better idea to have one place per show, even if it meant the show was half an hour shorter.
But as well as that, there have been some acts that we've not really seen who also got through, so why not show more of those?
Those lads saved the day
Question for you.....
Who is headlining the summer season this year in Blackpool?
Cannon & Ball? Grumbleweeds?
either them or lionel richie and the roly poly's
