End-of-the-Pier Novelty Acts

Ok, so elements of the show are nasty, morally bankrupt, stage-managed hokum. (The little drummer boy passion play particularly nauseating).

Soon the X-Factor elements of the show will take over, so enjoy whilst you can the chance to wallow in the life-affirming joy bestowed by a Midlands' bagpipes band called "Pipes and Brums"; a dog doing ballet with its slightly worryingly over-besotted owner; a bloke burping because he can; and a 10 year old girl from Wolverhampton channelling Vera Lynn, even though the old dame apparently isn't dead yet (Wolves at the leading-edge of the music scene for a change).

I'm with Eddie Izzard - what a Great country this is....

    I don't really watch much TV but find the heats compulsive viewing. A soon as the nut cases are weeded out it just becomes too mundane.
    You can pick the finalists now. Drummer boy and Dame Vera Lyne sing a like.
    You are a betting man, put a couple of quid on !
