Brenda, yes it was a pity about the choice of music by Gareth Malone, I don't think that would have sold the album for him. I did read about that choir, a group of young people he put together to sing classical music. I don't think i will be buying it.

Didnt see the beginning as I watch University Challenge.
I enjoyed most of it?....thought Bryn Terfyl wasn't as good as he used to be...and I should really stick up for him as he lives not far from me.!
Not keen on modern comedians but John Bishop is OK
I love Gareth Malone,but didnt particularly like the choice of music .
The shadow dancing was brilliant.
Suppose they put something on for all tastes.
At least Prince Charles seemed to enjoy it .
Chas and dave did a good finale...better than the usual one of bringing the artistes on in groups...It was happy and swinging and they all seemed to react to the mood. :-D :-D

Agree about the comedian in his underwear but didn't hear anyone off key in the choir Flavia was fantastic and I quite like Chas and Dave really. Shadow dancers were good again and I do like John Bishop. Caro Emerald has a good voice and I actually liked Jessie J.

Well we can't all like the same things but my OH and myself both thought it was good entertainment. A good mix of acts too.
