Start date for new series?
Anyone know when the new series starts this year....I hope it stays the same as last year towards end of August.

They have the closed auditions and open auditions to fit in before bootcamp (at least I think that's what the format will be).
Otherwise, it would have been August 17th, or maybe a week later if they push the final a week later also (to finish on December 15th). So, I think start-mid August. |

August 17th I think.
There were less audition dates this year so I think it could start at the same time as last year since the area auditions will only be shown for one weekend one Saturday and one Sunday. |

There were rumours they were doing some dancing thingy but I think your face looks familar must have replaced that...They have six acts on thereand it has run for three wks I think maybe that will run for another three wks which will take us up to 3rd August so then maybe a week or two after that...My son birthday on 19th usually around that date,thanks for replies..I wonder what James Arthur new single will be.

It's the tenth year, and I hope the producers get it right this year. The last two series, despite discovering some great talent, were underwhelming. There was no buzz, momentum, characters etc.

I think Simon said it may start in Septembe like series 1 as it's when kids go back to school, so tere will be children discussing it and everyone will be back from holiday, so they could do it every Saturday and Sunday.

I agree. We need to see a big effort from the producers. Bringing Sharon back isn't enough.
Themes need to be less obvious, they should go back to themes that have proven popular with viewers, and if they are going to have the final at an arena again, they should at least make the set look a bit better, more like the studio set. And of course, celebrity duets in the final rather than mentor duets. This ensures the acts get to duet with someone that they can both compliment. They shouldn't 'exploit' contestants (e.g Ceri Rees), cut acts at boot camp before they've even sung. I don't think they should go to the trouble of silly twists in the lives, or have a wildcard(s) - the judges should just put through the people they think have the potential to win. I think 12 is enough, if they go for 16 they may well do the double eliminations that they need early on, as to if they want to go for a 4 person final like 2010. |

Bringing back classic and new auditions isn't enough. Bring back original Bootcamp as you saw singing instead of Judges arguing, and Judges Homes can have the mentor, star and audience of 100. No wildcards. Keep these categories.

Also, dragging out the live shows was an issue last year. 150 minutes for 12/13 performances is ridiculous. |

ITV have been very poor in promoting the series over the years. They tried to vamp it last year by including Dermot in the trailers but were still poor. The best promos was the first three series, when they seemed to spend money on them and not just show clips from auditions.
As for a start date, August 17th or 24th seems likely. It'll definitely be August not September though as it was in the August ITV Media email. |

I predict XF UK to start next month, in the twenties of August
However, XF USA have confirmed their start date- September 11 and 12 |

I agree, the trailers last year were dreadful. Two years in a row BGT has had a great trailer so hopefully they can do the same with XF this time.
