Template:Infobox reality music competition The fifth series of Britain's Got Talent began on 16 April 2011. The show continues to be hosted by Ant & Dec, while Stephen Mulhern once again hosts Britain's Got More Talent. This is the first year that both Britain's Got Talent and Britain's Got More Talent will be shown completely in HD as, as last year for Britain's Got Talent, only the live shows were shown in HD, while Britain's Got More Talent remained in SD throughout.

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.[1] 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.[2] 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.[3] Hasselhoff was unable to attend the London auditions, so Louis Walsh took his place.[4]

Auditions

Auditions took place in London, Manchester, Glasgow, Cardiff, and Birmingham. Liverpool also hosted auditions for the first time. The auditions started in London between 4 and 6 January and continued on 13 and 14 January in Manchester and 18 January in Glasgow. Auditions also took place on 21 January in Liverpool, 25 and 26 January in Cardiff and 31 January in Birmingham. During the Liverpool auditions, Michael McIntyre won an award in The British Comedy Awards for Best Male Comic. He received the award in a live video message.[5] During the Cardiff auditions, Ant & Dec won an award in the National Television Awards for "Best Most Popular Entertainment Presenters". They gave their winning speech in a live video message and asked Simon Cowell to collect their award.[6] In March, Cowell stated that he wants extra auditions as he thinks the current judges have failed to find the next Paul Potts or Susan Boyle. Cowell is keen to cast the show's nets even further and trawl through thousands of online videos on YouTube in the hope of discovering talent. An insider told the Daily Star: "Cowell's announcement is going to turn the show on its head."[7] Studio auditions for the successful YouTube acts were held on 3 April in Birmingham.[8]

Episode 1 was broadcasted on 16 April. Auditions started of in Liverpool and Birmingham.[9] Episode 2 showcased Manchester, Glasgow and a YouTube audition.[10] Episode 3 featured London auditions.[11] More Manchester auditions were shown during Episode 4 along with Cardiff and Birmingham auditions.[12] More Manchester auditions were broadcasted during Episode 5, along with more Liverpool and Glasgow auditions.[13] Episode 6 featured more Cardiff, Manchester and London auditions. [14]

Semi-finals

For the first time ever on Britain's Got Talent, some of the acts were asked to perform again as the judges were having difficulty coming to a final decision on who to send through to the semi-finals. [15]
