Robinia, yes, I'm sure it helps. It is also worth pointing out that many of the contestants are very experienced and some have also performed professionally, the rules do permit this.
So pleased Richard Jones won - I think its more appropriate for the Queen to see him at Royal Variety Performance rather than the stupid Storm Troopers. Loved Jasmine and also Wayne too but Richard's act was amazing.

When RJ came on wearing a uniform, and then the old soldier coming on, It was obvious that he was going to win, as his tricks were old and have been seen many times, the past few years!
