Bradley Walsh The Royal Variety

Will watch via catch-up later and utilise the power of fast forward - I suspect quite a lot!

Another No vote from me. I only watched half an hour and so cannot comment on the whole show but the obsequiousness of Bradley Walsh and the nondescript turns left me totally bored. Were the audience told to laugh I wonder?

We also thought the whole thing was shouty and turned the sound off for parts of it. I was only watching to see Lang Lang but got bored and went to bed before he was on. Rick Astley was quite good.

We only watched bits of it. The singing from 'Frozen' (if that's what it was) was very shouty. I thought Mel C was the best. I don't like that mechanical voice thing Cher uses, but I suppose having her was a bit of a scoop.

I agree, it was uncomfortable watching. I do wonder why famous people get recognition if they don't do charity work. They are usually well paid.

I going to watch it on catchup, see If I agree with the concensus. . As the Duke and the audience were laughing perhaps you've all got it wrong.
Will be a trial, I don't like Variety shows much.

Bradley was a total embarrassment. I found more enjoyment from paper scrunching. I then enjoyed a really early night to read my book.

I sat watching and didn't laugh once , the cameras kept panning to the audience who were laughing and smiling and clapping and I asked myself am I strange because I didn't find him or the other comedians funny . It had its good parts though . Was Cher miming ? I think she was but isn't she wonderful . I'll forgive her for miming .

William was laughing so much and wiping his eyes so why wasn't I!

bradley walsh was dire, what ever was he thinking. not at all funny so turned over.

We watched some of the second half.

Lucy and Lang Lang were very good, I liked Rick Astley and the song from Blood Brothers with Mel C.

But on the whole not the best show I've seen.

I thought it was better than usual this year. A bit heavy on the musicals but it was lovely to see the incredible pianist Lucy playing a duet with Lang Lang.

To think that the Royal Family have to put in an appearance and actually look as if they’re enjoying it!
Respect!

The acrobatic performers were excellent !

I only watched a bit - I had to look up who Walsh was! - and several other performers!!

We turned it off. All the performers were awful.
