Regardless of succeed or fail, the idea that the 'comic' single was the lesser promoted one is utterly untrue. Less radio play, granted, but outside of that I have seen billboards, adverts, video exclusives, animated advertising, in terms of print and advert media, it's been all over the shop!

I actually thought Robbie Williams made that sketch, he was dead good! Loved the Office : The Opera, big respect to Louis Walsh for taking the p*** out of himself, not something I expected to see. Catherine Tate always amazes me as Nan, how does she do that?! Also really liked Outnumbered, thought Danielle Lloyd's piece was extremely brave, and thought that Saturdays did a TOP TOP JOB.

The last two performances were fantastic.. dead proud of them for showing what they can do to such a massive audience too!

I agree, I think they were trying to portray that Katie was the actual villain for tricking her, as she was the only one who didn't eat the shrooms and then totally took advantage of Effy, who did. And Effy called the ambulance, who found her, which is how she got home. I thought it was SUCH a good episode, great to see them all together and finally to feel some sympathy for Effy... The poachers were odd, I guess just needed so we had a reason not to suspect Cook being the one creeping up on them.

What with the dance moves which are now 100 times as good as they were on 'Let's Dance', they did SO well to pull that off as well as they did with a live vocal.. very proud of them and hope iTunes soon reflects this!

This better not get axed, I adore it :(

Thank you for a swift reply, I'll just pretend she's definitely done it already and say WOOHOO!

I think there were better singles, especially as this has been performed on song shows already and not troubled the itunes 120 BUT I do think she has a great public opinion about her so with more promotion I reckon another T10.

That is Vanessa and Bryn, my friend, so No.4

Thanks for the update.. do we know for sure that Alexandra has outsold Shane and Kylie to become a) the biggest selling X Factor single of all and B) the best selling female vocal song of the decade? Because the figure for Alexandra looks more accurate than the seeming estimates of the Kylie and Shayne figures.. if that makes sense. I'm sure this means she definitely will take both these crowns soon if she hasn't already, just wondered if it's confirmed!

I'm sure she's been critically acclaimed for Diary of a Call Girl.. it's certainly at least been brought back for a second series..

They played The Kids Are Sick Again last August at V... I wish I could remember how it goes - whether I liked it even! But VERY excited for this, going to see them in May, they are AMAZING.

JJ is far from my favourite character, but that was easily my favourite of the series. I love that in the last two episodes my favourite character (Emily) has had loads of screentime, yet we still haven't had her episode, sweeeeeeeet! Couple of great lines, about JJ losing his virginity multiple times, and also when he outed Emily. As far as Effy goes, I dislike the way she can be, but can't hate her, because I don't think the way she is is her own doing, much as Jark says.

To follow up Jonjo, it's not even that you guys haven't seen her in this particular role, it's that you've barely seen her in any roles no doubt! The Dr Who team have clearly seen more of her than we have and have rarely got it wrong in my opinion. I am a big fan of her as Cassie in Skins but my opinion isn't based on that as I expect the characters to be nothing alike. So, I hope it's true :)

It's the quality of the skating, it's worlds apart regardless of a trip or a dropped hat, Norma's point is very valid, while she doesn't like Ray, the standard of his skating is just a different league!

But they have said he is the best skater they ever had, in like week 2 - you can't expect improvement from that, what are they going to say? 'Well done Ray, you are now better than any of our professional skaters, NAY, better than any of US!!' It's not going to happen. The GBP never seems to recognise excellence if it doesn't show some sort of improvement.. well this was excellence from week one, so it was never going to have the same rate of improvement! Also, Ray had only skated a few times before the show, providing he isn't completely lieing - it's not like they took on a Torvill and Dean protegee - he just happened to be good at it!

Ray wasn't overmarked, he was a full four points lower than his best, which is probably valid for a couple of mistakes, but in general the standard of his actual skating was exceptional as ever

Yep great ending. loved that George changed the venue, loved Annie's new powers, loved the fact that Nina is about to join George in his lifestyle, loved the fact Owen is a mental!

I'm not sure about the best, Pandora and Freddie's episodes were the best for me I think but it was yet another top showing. It made me feel more sympathy for Emily than anyone though, Naomi is a bit too cold for me and I sometimes don't feel I can empathise, though I still like her. As if Cook would still be at school if he'd started an ACTUAL riot. Loving the Olivia Coleman role, she's always funny - with the baby 'Who are you? No, who is it?' I actually LOVE Emily.

Better not be!!

Another absolutely great episode! I love how it goes from tense to humour, the best example in this episode being George hitting Seth, it being really important and then Annie asking how his hand is and George practically crying with pain! Just great! Didn't like the bad guy at the start of the series, as a character (obviously you're not supposed to like the baddie but I just found him pointless), but he had a real side role then. Now he's into it as a real central bad guy and the vampires are central to the plot, he's working alot better for me. LOVED Owen in this episode, his cockiness was excellent and what we didn't expect, and then the change in him right at the end, great work!

It was one of my favourite episodes too, I think Freddie is very likeable, his intentions are always very honourable (esp compared to his sister, who could barely dance, what was that about?!), and I like that we have a good guy (loving the image of him in his white bracelets and Effy in her black) Some great one liners - 'Don't you ever say c*nt and Oxfam in the same sentence again!!' (best ever?) and JJ in general 'Do you know what Naomi is backwards? I Moan.' I just chuffin love Skins, always!

I saw Benjamin Button this week and while it's a great little film, it doesn't compare to Slumdog, that MUST win!

Serious?! It was getting loads of spins and doing well on promo with the Keisha duet, I really don't think Broken Strings would have done that much worse without the GA party.. I'm sure it helped but I think it would have still been a sizeable hit!

I can see them getting Alan Carr to do it next year.
