Does anyone remember when itv started all this? I think it was back in the Pop Idol stage. They would have a mon-fri live show at 5pm ish going behind the scenes at rehearsals. Is it was all very relaxed and unrehearsed. Good to see and I'd like to see it back. Strictly do it very well and itv2 try now with a Thursday show but a daily show would be better.

Yes remember it, it was more fun and relaxed.

I feel Thursdays attempt is just stupid contrived filler, and interviews where they talk over each other. Not impressed by Xtra Factor this year, unfortunately.

Yes I remember it well. I think that it used to be on at about 5pm. Ironically Kate Thornton hosted it.

Does anyone remember the Fame Academy live stream? That's what I used to live for when I was 11.

It was Monday-Wednesday for about 3 hours each day during the Pop Idol Top 50 round. It was fab yes! And of course the Fame Academy live stream.
