The pre judging started at 1pm and there were 41 competitors in total. After the pre judging at 5.30 there was a seminar and question and answer session with Markus Ruhl. The evening show started at 7pm. The lights dimmed and shots rung out on stage above the theme tune to 007. The look-alikes Jaws and odd jobb walked across the stage firing shots into the audience. The lights came on and Mini me (not much over 3ft!!!) came running out through jaws's legs (7ft2) and head-butted oddjob then turned around and punched jaws in the bollocks. They both limped off stage and Kerry Kayes was dragged on by Mini Me. There was a very high standard of competitor and a great atmosphere due to the large crowd. Before the interval we had Sam the Man on stage as our first guest spot with an amazing routine that was very popular with the audience, then Vinnie Graham who lost his leg in a car accident and also a best upper body competition for the kids with easter eggs as prizes, they were also joined on stage by mini me and the UK Pitbulls the heaviest uk tag team(one of them weighing in at over 40 stone!!)

After the interval we also had Simon Robinson and Mike King as guest spots. This being Mike Kings first time on stage in 3.5 years due to injury. He was looking huge and in great shape.

After the overall that was won again (2nd year running) by Rob Hill, owner of Body 2 Body in Bath, we had Markus Ruhl on stage (flown in from Germany just for this show). The crowd looked stunned. Markus was looking massive and is definitely one of the most popular bodybuilders at this time. He went off stage and the crowd went crazy. He came back on joined by Vinnie, Simon and Mike. He was off the stage and into the audience who were on their feet and were all trying to get as close as possible.
