And that exterior alone would cost ****** loads, and the advertising campaign and everything.

But think. Two series in one so no house change. Lack of audition venues so less rental costs. No rental costs on studio that the gallery is in (portacabins probably cheaper). Brian is probably being paid less than Davina as well. The lack of live feed broadcasted. And they have probably made staff cuts.

But they have clearly put the budget into the more important things which Channel 4 didn't care about. Thats why I mean there is an illusion so much more has been spent but I bet it hasn't, which is so clever on channel 5's part.
