<P> Contestants that make it into the semi-finals after both stages ( or , from series 8 , received the Golden Buzzer ) , perform once more before an audience and the judges , with their performance broadcast on live television ; until the tenth series , live episodes were filmed at The Fountain Studios in Wembley , the same site used for The X Factor , but for the eleventh series , the show was broadcast from Elstree Studios . Like the Audition stage of the contest , they must attempt to impress by primarily conducting a new routine of their act within the same span of time ; the judges can still use a buzzer in the semi-finals if they are displeased with a performance , and can end it early if all the buzzers are used , and can still give a personal opinion about an act when the performance is over , but neither of these impact how the semi-finalists fare at this stage of the contest , only the last part of this stage . As only two semi-finalists from each semi-final may proceed on to the Final , which two is determined by two different types of votes given towards the end - a public phone vote , and a judges ' vote . </P>
