The semi-finalists have been announced for this year's Britain's Got Talent.
200 acts were whittled down to 40, who will now appear in heats hoping to make it to the final.
Among those that have got through are a number of comedy acts.
Circuit regulars Myra Dubois (pictured) and guitar-juggling stand-up Steve Royle have gone through.
Nabil Abdulrashid, who got the Golden Buzzer from Alesha Dixon, is through to the next round.
Frankie Boyle returns with his New World Order to help make sense of a bewildering 2020. The show features Frankie at his vicious best as he tackles the biggest issues troubling the planet.
Over the series, Frankie makes a string of bold and often outrageous statements which he then picks apart with the help of Sara Pascoe, Miles Jupp, Sophie Duker, Kiri Pritchard-McLean, Jamali Maddix, Guz Khan and Sara Barron.
Frankie Boyle's New World Order, Thursdays at 10pm, BBC Two from September 3.

Comedian Rosie Jones is to make an alternative post-pandemic travelogue/documentary series for C4 entitled A Great British, Female, Gay, Disabled, Covid Compliant Adventure (working title).

Comedians and fans from all over the UK have shown their support for The Stand, one of the most established, respected comedy chains in the UK.
There are three venues, in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Newcastle, and the chain has, like many comedy clubs and venues, hit a major financial crisis during the Covid 19 pandemic that forced them to close down in March.
It is now asking for donations from fans but is also calling on the Scottish government and Creative Scotland to offer financial help.
Bob Mortimer was well on his way to National Treasure status even before his fishing series with Paul Whitehouse became a major hit. His work with Vic Reeves, his shaggy dog stories on Would I Lie To You? and his general air of comic genius have all conspired to make him something of a hero. So it's great to see him back in his waders for this third series.
