ant and dec are actually the very reason i prefer FA to PI. they take up too much camera time. last weeks self-idulgent look at which hopefuls fancied which one of them was total time wasting when we could have been seeing more of the people who can actually sing.

Yes - I wonder how many people would watch Pap Idol if a duo other than Ant and Dec were presenting? how many are there to see the singers and how many just watch because they fancy Ant or Dec? Maybe it's the latter contingent that flatter the ratings...

Yes - I wonder how many people would watch Look North if someone else was forecasting, how many are there to see the news and how many just watch because they fancy Paul Hudson? Maybe it's the latter contingent that flatter the ratings.

You talked yourself into that one. And anyway Dec could look a bit like Paul Hudson in a certain light, and I thought you watched FA because you were a fan of Patrick K?

You really mustn't take my anti-other forecasters thing too seriously. I 'sex up' the stuff for entertainment here... I'm now so interested in Yorkshire as a whole that I find it's more to do with my liking of Yorkshire that I tune in, whilst my liking for presenters keeps pretty much a back seat...

Again, my 'superficial' interest has given way to being more interested in the progress of the students rather than dribbling over Patrick. Dec looking like Paul Hudson? Not as much as Formula One driver Kimi Raikkonen....

You've got to admit that there MUST be a certain percentage of viewers that tune in to Pap Idol for the reason I stated in my previous posting... maybe they 'sex up' Pap Idol's ratings...

If they have Sky, they can see as much as they like - the BBC have a continuous 24/7 live feed on their interactive services.

This is also on freeview unless something else is higher priority.
The only problem with the service are the people who monitor the cams!
They Censor every little word that has even the slightest hint of a product's name and we are constantly returned to the Fame Academy Live 'Academy Coverage returns at _:__ or Fame Academy live streaming returns in the morning' Mad Mad

oh I know - mind you they left James and "oh for f*cks sake" in the other day.

The people doing the stream this year aren't as good as last year although they have been getting better.

It's the graphics I hate - they were the same last year - they started without the background. Plus they are always fading up the wrong ones. tsk.

Alistair Louise and Peter? I think this shows how falwed this years voting is. Quite how Barry has stayed in this long I'll never know.

I'll just wait to see which one of these two go - I don't want Al and Lousie to split up though as they are such a good couple. This one will be a close vote though and you can tell the students are not happy.

Well Louise is gone. Shouldn't have although she lasted a long time compared to how the papers would have wanted. Not happy,

Now is this the fault of the all week voting or because we can't actually "evict" a person - if we could I think Louise would have gone by now mind you.
