Now I have absolutely no idea of controlling a channel when it comes to live output but it was quite poor, especially for a show doing poorly on BBC One, let alone BBC Three. Is there just one person in charge? Is it a case of being understaffed or just asleep?


I caught 10 minutes of the BBC1 show and it wasn't exactly going well. Aside from little faux pases like cutting to cameras whilst the shot was still being set-up, one of the radio mics didn't work! For goodness' sake how difficult is it to make sure a mic works before it's used?!

As far as I remember, ITV's Pop Idol / PopStars live shows were a lot slicker.

Are a lot slicker you mean! Just wait for two more weeks, you'll see.
