MArk Owen is dancing like my dad at the moment

I actually think it's been one of the best I've ever seen. I even found myself singing along with the Chelsea Pensioners and I love Take That.

[carlton23]

Well, I enjoyed it.

[jaydah]

too much grovelling - yuk !

[Tizzi24]

I watched half of it and thought it was a load of rubbish, especially Michael McIntyre (how did he get to be a comedian\?). The only decent act I saw was the Chelsea Pensioners.

[sadielady]

Maybe I missed something but could someone tell me why there was a stage of nearly naked men on with Take That?

[beejaybee]

I enjoyed it except for one or two acts which I dont like. As I`d recorded it, I f/f them.

[LoftyLottie]

Well it made an enjoyable change from nearly naked women Barb!! They were very fit looking ;o)

Take that and the Chelsea Pensioners were great. I would like to have seen them perform together. Would have been a treat.

Cheryl Cole has no talent!! Why couldn't they have had a real singer!!

[LoftyLottie]

I see we agree Jan x

It was a good around show, unlike some in the past.

I was disappointed with John Bishop's spot, I usually enjoy him, it makes me wonder if he has run out of material with all his appearances at the Apollo and his Christmas DVDs.

Take that was utter rubbish, again I generally enjoy them., but I think they have gone down since Robbie Williams re-joined them, what was all that about when he appeared in a box, shouting down a 'loud hailer'?

And what can be said about the 'chorus boys' was this specially put on for the homosexuals in the audience? Why even Michael McIntyre made a remark, saying "one doesn't have to guess the sexual orientation of the choreographer".

Apart from these comments, the other acts were quite enjoyable, but why the programme planners decided to screen it mid week I just do not know, it would have made ideal weekend viewing.
