On the entertainment spectacle Britain’s Got Talent, contestants reveal their undiscovered abilities to the public.

The idea is straightforward: if your act wows the judges, you might move on to the next round. But if the judges mark anything with a red cross, your performance is over.

Presenting Mal Ford, a gregarious seventy-four-year-old wearing a bright red blazer, who has a piano in front of him.

Mal looks determined to take the stage and possibly even win the tournament, as evidenced by the glitter in his eyes.

Mal says he wants to see the Royal Family before starting his act. But the mood completely changes when he starts to play the keyboard.

Mal appears to be unaware of the judges’ perplexed looks as he performs with passion, taking himself to a new world.

Mal sings his song with unrelenting zeal, undaunted by the judges’ unanimous red crosses. Mal keeps going despite hosts Dec and Ant’s attempts to stop him, unfazed by the pandemonium that is developing. Unexpectedly, Mal steps forward and begins to dance in response to Ant’s attempt to stop the performance.
