Judges:

For the first time since Britain's Got Talent began, there has been a permanent change to the judging panel. In October 2010, Piers Morgan announced he was leaving due to hosting his new show Piers Morgan Tonight in the United States and he was unable to do both. In December 2010, Simon Cowell confirmed that he would only be present at the live shows as he would be busy launching The X Factor in the US. Therefore, David Hasselhoff (previously a judge on America's Got Talent) and Michael Mcintyre were added to the panel. There were also guest judges planned for the auditions due to the success of the guest judges on The X Factor but no guest judges appeared during the auditions. Hasselhoff was unable to attend the London auditions, so Louis Walsh took his place

Full contestant lineup:

Edinburgh Festival Webcam - Live Bliss by Opera Australia

Bliss is an opera in three acts by Brett Dean to a libretto by Amanda Holden. The opera premiered at the Sydney Opera House on 12 March 2010 before travelling to perform at the 2010 Edinburgh Festival.

This live webcam feed will capture all the action from Edinburgh:

Edinburgh Festival is a collective term for several simultaneous arts and cultural festivals that take place during August each year in Edinburgh, Scotland. These festivals are arranged by a number of formally unrelated organizations, meaning there is no single event officially termed the Edinburgh Festival.

The Edinburgh Festival, which is the largest cultural event in the world, traces its roots to 1947 when the Edinburgh International Festival (EIF) was established in a post-war effort to "provide a platform for the flowering of the human spirit". That same year, eight theatrical companies "gatecrashed" the official Festival by organizing their own event, outside the official auspices of the EIF; this started the movement which grew into the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (EFF). The EFF is also referred to as the Edinburgh Fringe, the Fringe, or (incorrectly) the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

The EIF and the Fringe remain independent bodies and run separate programmes each year. Since the Edinburgh International Festival was organized in 1947, several other festivals have also been established in Edinburgh. Most of these take place in late summer each year, as well. There is, therefore, not one Edinburgh Festival, but a collection of independent festivals which happen to take place in the same city at about the same time.
