midweek Xtra Factor?
Maybe it was just Pop Idol, but I was sure there used to be a mid-week Xtra Factor, where you got to see some rehearsals, and there was a lot of chat to the contestants.
I think people would watch it, it seems like a long wait between Sunday and Saturday. |

Yeah Pop Idol Extra with Kate Thornton used to be on midweek.
I think it may have been Wednesday and Friday. They used to definitely be backstage at rehearsals on a Friday night. |

"The Xtra Factor: The Aftermath, which was broadcast in the middle of the week on ITV2. The Xtra Factor: Xcess All Areas was a live show in which there were interviews, games and trips around the contestants' homes. The show also let viewers know which songs the contestants would be singing in the next live show. Both shows were axed after series 3 due to ITV2 cutting back on spin-off programming." --- From Wikipedia.
I think they like the setup they have now anyway, this way the papers/people talk about the show all week, they leak stories and cause controversy and fake drama and finally it culminates with the show which ends up getting massive ratings. |

I think they should either scrap the boring people who I've never heard of, and put more about the contestants. Have them joking around or put more clips online. What about that Mole thing? I rather liked that.

![]() I'd rather we just had a show showing purely what goes on backstage, the acts in singing/dance rehearsals, maybe the odd interview with an act/mentor... |

I loved
Xtra Factor: Aftermath (or 24/7 as it was called in S2) & Xtra Factor: Xcess All Areas (on the Fridays) Wish they'd both come back! |

Pop Idol Extra was on Mondays-Wednesdays for about 3 hours each night during the top 50 bits. It was compulsive viewing!
