I couldn't work out why Steve was so anxious to put the top 30 on teletext at 18:58 today. Then I remembered it was the last Sunday before Christmas. I imagine Simon Cowell will demand a recount. Ooh, it's like Rod Stewart and the Sex Pistols all over again...
It was the BBC one which is probably called something else. ITV has gone, except for ads. But thank goodness we get a break from X Factor pap this year. I have to confess - I did buy the Susan Boyle CD, but it was a present for my dad and he asked for it especially. I got it in Sainsburys so it could be discretely slipped out under a cauliflower or similar. I'm blushing as I write this.
Ceefax is the BBC one (although who knows for how much longer)
I give anyone a pass for items bought for older relatives who specifically requested them... I say this as someone who bought a couple of boxed sets of Midsomer Murders for my mum.
Why would he demand a recount? Cowell will be over the moon. RATM are signed to his label, and the media interest has increased sales of both singles. Besides, I'm fairly sure the X Factor single will be #1 next week anyway.
Demand recount => spin story out for yet longer => more sales of both songs, probably. Not quite as satisfying for him as getting supposed enemies to boost his profits, but still worthwhile.

Is Teletext still going? I thought they'd turned it off now...
