Nervous?

Always. Think I should open with a joke?

Probably not. Yeah, probably not.

forever.

Up to you.

Best not. See what happens.

Now, of course, that was Paul Potts who

went on to become the deserving winner of

the whole competition. Since then, his

first album has already sold over two

million copies and he’s been number one

in fifteen different countries. Ladies

and gentlemen, I’m very proud to

introduce Paul Potts.

TITLE:

EMPIRE THEATER, LIVERPOOL, DECEMBER 3, 2007

A flute plays as an enormous video screen shows images of

Paul’s audition and subsequent victory in the finals of

Britain’s Got Talent.

The screen rises and Paul walks out on stage alongside an

entire orchestra and begins to sing...

Paul’s nervousness gradually subsides and he looks out at

the crowd, seeing the Queen and, several rows behind her,

Braddon standing with a very pretty GOTH WOMAN. Braddon

smiles and makes a ferret face, nodding over at the woman.

Paul smiles and continues the song as the CAMERA ORBITS

around him, revealing him singing:

At the Sydney Opera House...
