Does anyone know what the scheduling is going to be on ITV2?
I read initially it was going to air here a day after the States. However, the show started Tue 21st in the States, yet we aren't getting the first episode until Fri 31st.
I know the first few episodes are just the auditions, so perhaps the next day scheduling kicks in once they start having the live twice weekly shows?

According to next weeks Radio Times, its scheduled from 8.30-9.55pm on Friday 31st. As they've had 2 90 minute programmes (60 mins if you take out the excessive adverts the US have) are they going to cut bits out?
Perhaps Neil can clarify this? Are we going to get the shows the day after the US, once the live heats start?

There's 2 x 90-minute audition shows, then a further 2 x 60-minute shows (to get it to the final 32), before all the live stuff starts.

The latest ITV2 schedule shows 2 x 60-minute shows on Jan 31, at 8.30pm and 9.30pm. From the descriptions, it looks as if the first of these shows will be a cut-down version of the 2 x 90-min audition shows, whilst the second will be a cut down version of the 2 x 60 min ones.

The live shows look as if they'll be on Fridays (instead of Thursdays as expected), with the performances at 9 then the result at 10.

I'll post the full schedules on idol.digitalspy.net later today.
