We've been a bit slack with our coverage of X Factor, mainly because I have a policy of not watching anything involving Kate Thornton, so I haven't actually seen any of it. But obviously enough people like the Pop Idol rip-off because ITV have just confirmed they have commissioned a second series. ITV Entertainment Controller Claudia Rosencratz told reporters: "I had no hesitation in recommissioning 'The X-Factor', it's been a big hit for ITV and has become must-watch TV. There's much more to come this series as we build towards the final next month and it's great to have secured this terrific format for our viewers for another series." Those hooked to the first series presumably know that the grand finale takes place on 11 Dec and that Tabby Callaghan, G4 and Steve Brookstein are still in the running.
