Not watching either.

What makes me despair is that when either the BBC or ITV, come up with what seems like a winning idea, the otherside has to copy it, changing it only slightly.

If ITV wants to broadcast this rubbish fine, but why the BBC, funded by the licence payer, has to show a similar 'celebrity' singing show at exactly the same time, is beyond me.

I think a good media lawyer would be able to prosecute the BBC for not fulfilling the terms of their charter, for not giving us enough quality programmes and too much of this populist crud.
