In response to viewing figures increasing dramatically to over 9 million once SCD finishes Itv are to change their schedules from 11th November. X Factor will swing an hour later to 6.35pm with the all new family fortunes going to the 8pm slot and Millionaire moving to 5.30pm and going up against SCD. From 18th November ITV will be in a stronger position as Im A Celeb will also be joining the Saturday line up. Full STory from Media Guardian Below.

The X Factor is bowing out of its head-to-head ratings battle with Strictly Come Dancing, after coming off second best for the past few Saturday nights.
But this is likely to be bad news for BBC1's Robin Hood - by shifting back nearly an hour to a 6.35pm start time from Saturday November 11 and running through till just after 8pm, The X Factor will go up against the corporation's medieval drama instead.

ITV1's peak time schedule will be bolstered further from Monday November 12, when I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! returns for a new series, launching with a 90-minute show from 9pm.


ITV1 is shifting around its early Saturday evening schedule by swapping The X Factor with Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, which is currently broadcast against Robin Hood from 7.15pm.

From Saturday November 11, Millionaire is to be scheduled for an hour from 5.35pm, pitching it against Strictly Come Dancing.

On the same night All Star Family Fortunes, fronted by Vernon Kay, is in the ITV1 lineup following The X Factor at 8.05pm.

BBC1's early Saturday evening lineup remains Strictly Come Dancing from 5.45pm, with Robin Hood taking over at 7pm and The National Lottery - 1 vs 100 scheduled at 7.45pm.

[Jay]

Well they should cancel SCD

[LittleMissLizzy85]

[LittleMissLizzy85]

I suppose it depends if you like dancing or not

I got bored of it after the auditions, that's all i like

[LittleMissLizzy85]

I dunno I think the auditions are the predictable part!

[Sophii3x]

lolm, bootcamp and live shows are boring
because they can actually sing and it's not funny

[LittleMissLizzy85]
