It seems such a pity that modern day "cabaret" shows spend so much time and focus on singers and dance troups.
BGT allows any act.
True, but just watching it last night, with the exception of the dog act and a short clip of some chap doing acrobatics in a big hoop, the main attention was singing and dancing. Where are the mime acts, the stunt cyclists, magicians, the oddity acts, gymnastic teams etc etc etc?
