Skipton man's success on Britain's Got Talent
A man from Skipton has made it through to the next round of Britain's Got Talent after impressing judges with his novelty dalek routine.
Martyn Crofts, 42, has been performing with a saucepan on his head, singing in the style of one of the Doctor Who show's creatures, for the past 20 years.
