TV Guide This Week

New shows this week include The X Factor (ITV, 7.30 Saturday), the first of a million heats. Last year's "stars" John and Edward Grimes get their own flea-on-the-wall show (ITV2, 8pm Tuesday; also TV3). Not that the target audience will be watching that rubbish, not when they could be watching Josie's inevitable victory on Big Brother (C4, 8pm Tuesday) and progression into Ultimate Big Brother (C4, immediately after) alongside some former stars of the show. Which brings us to a discussion of how much food goes to waste in the social action programme Great British Waste Menu (BBC1, 8.30 Wednesday).
