It&#8217;s got the best possible opening and ending night &#8211; both scheduled before and after <strong>The X Factor <\/strong>&#8211; the early show each night being the route to the live finals, and the half hour show later in the evening being the live whittling from eight to one and the determining spin of the wheel.
