[edit] Britain's Got Talent

The Animated Gospel Choir auditioned for the show but due to their religious beliefs of observing

the Sabbath (they are Seventhday Adventists) were not able to attend the second round of auditions which was on a Saturday. The producers were very keen for the choir to come back so they moved their audition to a week day instead. They performed Joyful Joyful (the version of the song from the film Sister Act 2); the judges reacted positively with Simon Cowell commenting that the choir was very good and the best puppet act they had seen in the whole competition.
