Always disappoints me.

Yes.

It's about time the Queen packed in that plate juggling act - she's rubbish.

YeahButWhatIf · 09/12/2013 20:27

I bet the Royals don't even enjoy it.

Oooh I don't know.

I expect they like singing along to a bit of Chas 'n' Dave and swooning to Barry Garlow.

Liz probably gets a bit hacked off when Phil queues for ages and still manages to come back with the wrong flavour ice cream tub.

I'm just waiting for John Newman to come on then I'll turn it off.

mrswishywashy1 · 09/12/2013 20:43

Ah you have just made my night isthatwhatdemonsdo didn't realise my new crush John Newman was on Grin

manticlimactic · 09/12/2013 20:47

Who was that comedian who was just on? My DD is laughing at me because I thought he was Mr Tumble.

Weeantwee · 09/12/2013 20:53

Is the royal variety not just around so that the Britains Got Talent winners can perform? Is this not their 'prize'?

Very freaked out by Robbie and Olly impersonating King Louis and Balloo the bear!

LadyBeagleEyes · 09/12/2013 21:00

I'm only watching for the BGT winners as I loved them even though I've forgotten what they're called.
I wish there was a list of when everybody comes on, as it is I'm just switching channels every 5 minutes.
It's utter crap.

msrisotto · 09/12/2013 21:03

I've always loved the Royal Variety. We don't get proper variety these days and I don't know why, we have the attention spans of gnats....

Theknacktoflying · 09/12/2013 21:15

The shadow dancers/BGT winners were fab

YeahButWhatIf · 09/12/2013 21:37

Didn't like the Shadow people. They had months to come up with something and that was it???

I only watched for attraction and they were bloody rubbish I have dry eyes i wanted soppy sentiment and how did the woman end up using a wheel chair did i miss a bit and John Bishop meh

LadyBeagleEyes · 09/12/2013 22:05

Attraction were't on very long, were they.
And Chas and Dave? Where did they dig them up from?

mrsjay · 09/12/2013 22:07

god that was cringy chas n dave and the cast all singing along those rizzle kicks boys looked lost, I was really disappointed in Attraction what they do is amazing but i wasn't blown away by then and i cried the first time i saw them on BGT

ShreddedHoops · 09/12/2013 22:09

Gareth's choir were so out of tune I had to turn the sound off, it was painful.

Financeprincess · 09/12/2013 22:49

It's times like this when Liz'n'Phil really earn their civil list payments, isn't it?

I'm quite sorry to have missed Chas & Dave. I expect Camilla likes to jig around to "I don't care if he comes round 'ere".

ExitPursuedByAChristmasGrinch · 09/12/2013 22:52

Her Maj and filly weren't there.

I loathe John Bishop.

DeckTheHallsWithBoughsOfHorry · 09/12/2013 22:54

I think she was meant to have always been in a wheelchair but yes it was a bit Confused

I recorded it so I could whizz through all the adverts Hmm and the duff acts.

Jimmy Carr was very close to the bone though, blimey.

I liked the weird X Factor musical thing.

jay55 · 09/12/2013 22:56

Cynthia Erivo was awesome in I cant sing.

Sharpkat · 09/12/2013 22:57

But Deck did you not think that it was the worst lookylikey Simon Cowell imaginable??

sutekidane · 09/12/2013 22:57

I didn't get the story of the shadow one. I'm still confused now.

Misspixietrix · 09/12/2013 23:15

Grin at Barry Garlow!

Misspixietrix · 09/12/2013 23:19

manticlimactic the one with the curtains? Jason Byrne. I Think.

mrsjay · 10/12/2013 11:03

I think she was meant to have always been in a wheelchair

Oh ok but we saw her dancing Confused don't get it which is a shame as they are amazing the shadows were fab the story not so much,

sutekidane · 10/12/2013 11:08

I still don't get it. I think they try too hard to make it emotional and failed. The first ones they did were amazing.
