Complaint Rating:

Viewers alleged voting problems for the 2 finalists Sat 15/12/2007 not accepted by ITV. However, many reported, (myself included),

Phone Line 1 - easy to get answered
Phone Line 2 - continuously engaged - Hmmmh!

Broadcast statement "Voting very close, just 1% advantage to Phone Line 1."
Question 'How could that be known if the lines were engaged?'
Question 'Who provided that information?'
Question 'Can the outcome or purpose be trusted?'

Not long ago corruption claims levied, over phone in votes. Is this an updated version, or is it just that Michael Grade has lost his 'Prime Purpose Vision'.

Whichever - the smell isn't a pleasant rose garden!
