SIR – The X-Factor final attracted more viewers than the England v Germany World Cup match – 17.7 million to 17.4 million.
Not being classed as a prude or old fashioned by my friends, it appears my viewing tastes could be unusual or in a minority.
When I watched The X-Factor once I saw it as an over-heated, over-hyped, glorified karaoke contest accompanied by a cacophonic din of sound.
Perhaps the main aim of the exercise is to make a handful of the organisers and panel rich beyond their wildest dreams. Simon Cowell is worth about £160 million and rising!
