But it works for Strictly, not for this (I thought I'd put that in my last post but I hadn't...weird). Two completely different shows and two completely different audiences. I had to avoid Twitter this week because during the first results show I went on and the impending result was spoiled for me, with Strictly that doesn't happen because the target audience aren't really that bothered and the results don't get leaked as widely.
It may be cheaper but while ever they've trying to compete with BGT/XF they really can't sit behind and not provide two live shows. If they can't afford a second night, even a separate live results show on Saturday night would be fine. Pre-recorded just doesn't work, if you ask me they can't have it both ways. Either do it all live on Saturday, or have it live both nights. Not just pre-recording it for Sunday in a bid to try (and fail) to achieve an extra night of decent ratings in an oddly scheduled time slot.
