Iona, the contortionist, was good but paled by comparison to other acts as the show went on. Besides, how many variations of that act can you do? You’ve seen it once, you’ve seen it 100 times.
Katie and Gin were excellent. It’s all very well being able to do that in your own back garden but doing it in front of a large audience, TV cameras, lights, etc is a totally different matter. I loved the fact that the dog wasn’t phased by any of it.
The guy doing the Boyzone act was very entertaining. I’d be interested to see his other “tributes”.
Andrew, the little operatic singing boy, but I was put off a bit by them starting on the sob story already.
Scala were excellent but, just like operatic boybands, there are already several of this type of band around these days.

That was just one routine. There is no way of knowing at this stage how many routines they have. If you’ve ever watched the performances on the last day of Crufts before the finalists are brought into the arena you will know how you can adapt routines and invent moves to go with the music or song that you are performing to.
The guy singing "Valerie"at the end was funny even if he wasn't very good. I wanted to slap Amanda. Partly for coming across as so humourless but mainly for being the usual unconvicing actress she is.
