Saw player hopes to impress 'Talent' judges

The Britain's Got Talent judges are once again divided in tonight's episode of the show when budding musician Austin Blackburn auditions for the competition.

Austin reveals how he hopes to impress the public - and Prince Charles at the Royal Variety Show - by playing a musical saw.

"I'm hoping to bring a new sound to the world of music," Austin explains before going on stage. "People will be amazed - hopefully. I would like to be a professional saw player, a sawist? Whatever you call people that play the saw."

Blackburn then faces the judges and announces that he will play 'You Raise Me Up', explaining: "I would like to promote the saw as a proper musical instrument."

Once his performance is over, Amanda, Piers and the audience seem happy with the unusual auditionee - but Simon isn't convinced.

Amanda says: "I am stunned, I thought it was absolutely beautiful."

Piers adds: "The thing about you Austin is that when you first came on stage I thought you were dull, but then you turn out to be musical genius - absolutely amazing."

But Simon complains: "I could not disagree with the two of you more. What we have is a saw that sounds like a cat being stamped on."

Tune in to Britain's Got Talent at 8.00pm tonight on ITV1 to see if Austin makes it through to the next round.
