Well done S/Girl and Sam for what you achieved so far!

They don't know what they will be misssing!

Sorry you didn't get through would loved to have seen Sam doing his thing!

aww so sorry, better luck next time. at least he's had lots of new experiences! Its all good training.
Well done for getting that far!!

Awww, bad luck but at least you got as far as you did, that was excellent, big well done to you and Sam! We all very proud of you both here i'm sure!

Please don't be disappointed Sue, as you say the audience loved him and thank God the judges didn't say anything stupid.

Being the cynic I am I suspect that the producers didn't want to risk a live show with a creature who they couldn't totally control, time slots, viewing figures, etc, for which I say well done Sam for giving them two fingers. Not much impressed with Ant & Dec either

thanks everyone for your wonderful replies! i am really, really pleased that i did it, and it was such a learning curve for both of us! you never know you might see our faces on the telly yet!!!

well done though for getting that far - very good effort.
