Britain's Got Talent
Hoop la la - gymnastic hula hoops
Students, 22 - 25
If you're looking to take up a hobby you'd do well
to steer clear of juggling like Phil, but the Hoop
La La circus act may prove to be trendsetters
themselves.
The three piece group took hula hoops to whole new
level by adding in gymnastic element and a new
stylistic - ahem - twist.
The act went down a storm with the judges. Amanda
told them, "This is camp nonsense, it's
brilliant!", while Piers was gleeful. "That was
more than just a hoop act. Having a young
Christopher Biggins in the middle was really
funny". Looks like Tina, Jessie and Craig have
reason to be cock-a-hoop with joy!

Show 5 (Saturday, 10 May 2008 at 8:00)
Britain's Got Talent is a British television show
on ITV (also on TV3 in Ireland). Presented by Ant
& Dec, the talent show premiered on 9 June 2007,
and was broadcast daily with a live final on 17
June 2007. It is a search for Britain's next best
amateur talent act, featuring singers, dancers,
comedians, variety acts, and other talents of all
ages. Anyone who believed they have talent was
encouraged to audition. The winner of the show
received £100,000 and performed at the Royal
Variety Performance in front of the Queen and
members of the Royal Family at the Empire Theatre
in Liverpool.
As Britain's Got Talent returns for its second
series, hosts Ant & Dec and judges Simon Cowell,
Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan once again begin
their search for Britain's most talented
performer. The second series began on a primetime
slot at 19:45 on 12 April and for the remainder of
the auditions will continue in this Saturday night
slot. Once the semi-finals begin they will be
shown daily, like in series one, over one week 26
May - 30 May with the live final on Saturday 31
May.
Format
The series made its début soon after the
conclusion of its U.S. counterpart, America's Got
Talent, and is the creation of The X Factor and
Pop Idol/American Idol mastermind Simon Cowell who
has created a Got Talent series across the globe.
On 12 February 2007 it was announced by ITV the
judges would be Cowell, Piers Morgan (who had also
judged America's Got Talent), and Amanda Holden (a
late replacement for Cheryl Cole[1]). In a similar
fashion to The X Factor, the show has an ITV2
counterpart called Britain's Got More Talent,
presented by magician and former CITV presenter,
Stephen Mulhern.
The show was originally planned to air much
earlier (before America's Got Talent) and be
presented by Paul O'Grady. However, after
O'Grady's defection to Channel 4 from ITV for The
Paul O'Grady Show, O'Grady refused to appear in
another ITV show, so the series was put on hold
after just one rehearsal show.[2][3]
The audition process is similar to The Gong Show
but with the judges pressing buzzers instead of
banging a gong. The buzzers can only be pressed
once if the judge has seen enough, and when all
three are pressed the act must stop. The auditions
also include the added twist of having to perform
in front of a studio audience alongside the
judges. Once the act finishes or is stopped,
judges express their opinions and decide whether
they would like to see them in the semi-finals,
with acts needing to receive a majority vote to go
through. The audience is invited to express their
views (often boos or cheers) which may have a
positive or negative impact on a judge's decision,
should the judge be unsure on whether to put the
act through.
