When a husband-and-wife duet pick Beyoncé’s Crazy In Love to show how they feel about each other after 44 years of marriage, you know you’re in for a treat really.
Ian and Anne Marshall are both in their 60s – let’s just take that in for a second. And their performance led to David Walliams choosing them as his golden buzzer act. After their audition, Simon Cowell even said “For once, I get it”.
People just couldn’t help but love them.
That was a bit crazy, in a good way I think #BGT

The performance had some, erm, interesting elements.

Meanwhile, other oldies did well in this week’s BGT – 68-year-old Colin played piano upside down on his head. As you do.
Do not adjust your set. (Unless you're watching upside down for some reason.) #BGT pic.twitter.com/AfpxSY7lVB

I've just seen a pensioner play a piano with his feet. That's impressive 😊 #BGT
— NICOLΞ GRIFFΞY (@nicolegriffey) April 23, 2016
That's how you do it!!! 68 years young! #legend #bgt

Go Colin!😂 #BGT
