BGT fans complain over ridiculous golden buzzer rule
Simon Cowell awarded the golden buzzer to young guitarist Olly Pearson but after a few more acts, the judge almost pressed it again.
Cheers erupted from the studio audience and the dance group also started to get excited at the thought of being a golden buzzer act in the semi-final.
BGT presenters Ant and Dec told Simon that the golden buzzer wouldn't work a second time, meaning Cheer Re-man's wouldn't go through to the final even if he pressed it.

Every movie & show to be released after filming in Scotland
Over the last year or so, Scotland has become a hotbed of Hollywood activity – with huge films such as Frankenstein all expected out over the next year or so. In June, J.J. Abrams is shooting his secretive blockbuster under the name Ghostwriter in both Edinburgh and Glasgow, while crews spotted around Moray are said to be setting up for production of Christopher Nolan's 2026 movie The Odyssey. Meanwhile, reports suggest that Marvel will once again return to Scotland in August to film the fourth instalment of Tom Holland's Spider-Man film, with further productions expected around the country including Henry Cavill's Highlander reboot. That's without mentioning the slew of TV shows which have been filmed in Scotland recently. Season two of Apple TV+'s The Buccaneers returned to Scotland once again to shoot throughout the country, while Netflix's Edinburgh-set Dept. Q shot on location around the capital. Here are all of the movies and TV shows filmed in Scotland during 2024 and 2025, which are still to be released (and some to be shot). 1 . Untitled J.J. Abrams film (AKA Ghostwriter) Filming for Hollywood director J.J. Abrams' new film has been taking place across Scotland. Not much is currently known about the secretive project - being filmed under the name of Ghostwriter - aside from the cast which includes Glen Powell, Jenna Ortega, Emma Mackey and Samuel L Jackson. Filming began in Edinburgh in early June with production expected to continue in Glasgow. | Lisa Ferguson Photo Sales 2 . The Odyssey Having been closed to the public since May, Findlater Castle in Moray is set to appear in Christopher Nolan's upcoming adaptation of Greek epic, The Odyssey. With an all star cast led by Matt Damon, the historic ruin is expected to remain closed to the public until mid-July. | AFP via Getty Images Photo Sales 3 . Frankenstein Filming for Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein took place across Scotland last year, with locations including Edinburgh and Aberdeenshire. Set for release in November 2025, the adaptation stars Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi as the Monster. | Ken Woroner / Netflix Photo Sales 4 . Spider-Man: Brand New Day (AKA Blue Oasis) Having previously spent time filming in Scotland, Marvel look set to return to the country to film the fourth instalment of Tom Holland's Spider-Man movies in August. Notices for the production of Blue Oasis - the reported working name for Spider-Man: Brand New Day - have started to appear in Glasgow with filming expected to take place around the city centre, which will presumably fill in for New York City. The new film is expected to be released in 2026. | Getty Images Photo Sales

‘I'd rather you became a prostitute': The startling life advice from Fay Ripley's father
You might not recall the names of the characters played by Hermione Norris and Fay Ripley in Cold Feet, but you'll remember them as The Posh One and The Northern One. The twist in DNA Journey (ITV1) is that this gets turned on its head. It is Norris who discovers that she hails from humble County Durham mining stock, and Ripley whose background is London and well-to-do. Norris describes Ripley as 'much posher than me in real life'. Of course, every real northerner could have told you that Ripley's Cold Feet accent was made up and sounded like someone chewing a dry stone wall – she's actually a southerner – but still. The fun of DNA Journey is in the revelations and the way they are delivered. It's a jollier version of Who Do You Think You Are? with fewer tears, miserable tales of penury or hand-wringing over Empire, but with an equally impressive research team. It helps when the subjects get on like a house on fire and that seems to be the case with these two, who have known each other for more than 25 years. Ripley is very droll. Both approached the programme with some trepidation. 'There's that man, isn't there, that arrives on this programme. The Grim Reaper. He finds criminals and things. So if I see him we know we're in trouble,' says Norris, shortly before that man – his name is Paul – pops up to explain that Norris's great-great-grandmother worked in Soho in the 1870s. 'There were two main occupations that a young woman on her own could have in Soho. One was a seamstress, the other was a prostitute,' Paul explains cheerily, because cheeriness is the show's default setting. Being ITV1, there are commercial breaks, which allow the producers to throw in cliffhangers such as these. To her great relief, Norris heard that her ancestor was a dressmaker who eventually made it to the more salubrious environs of Regent's Park. Prostitution came into the conversation elsewhere: Ripley confided that, when she told her father she wanted to be an actress, he replied: 'I'd rather you be a prostitute, the going rate's better.' Ripley's history was a series of success stories. Her forebears, the Hardys, ran a company producing playing cards for customers including George IV. Her great-great-great-grandfather founded Deacon's Music Hall in London in the mid-19th century and later ran Sadler's Wells, which delighted Ripley because she had known nothing about her family's links to the performing arts. There was also a West End performer in her more recent history. Things were less triumphant for Norris, but even the revelation that another relative killed his best friend by accident didn't remain a sob story, ending with him providing for the widow and devoting himself to good works. The programme ended on a happy note, and I think I prefer it to Who Do You Think You Are?
