Jasmine Sahu is well suited with this new American drama exclusive to Dave.
Lois Cameron explains why this series is much more than your average cosy period drama.
The last episode of this series sees Sherlock and Moriarty attempt to solve the final problem with devastating consequences.
With major cast changes afoot, Jacob Martin ponders whether Being Human can live up to its own scarily high standard.
23:02 So join me tomorrow from 7.30pm for the FINAL final, when we can all enjoy that promised Westlife performance.
23:00 That means that it's Little Mix v. Marcus tomorrow. And if there's any justice, Little Mix will win. Marcus looked far too smug even before he'd been voted in.
22:59 Then, of course it was time for three... to become two!! Unsurprisingly, it was Amelia who got the boot. She by no means did a bad job tonight, but there never seemed to be as much support for her as the others.
22:53 But then, it wasn't that eventful really was it? They managed to fill 20 minutes with adverts, recaps, and 2 guest performances, which saw Leona do a forgettable ballad (at least it wasn't 'Collide'), and Michael Buble doing... a Michael Buble song.
22:51 On behalf of The Yorker, I apologise for the technical difficulties that we experienced in the last half hour of the show.
21:22 This is a good performance too. Just Marcus and Gary then.
21:20 I hope Kelly doesn't mess up like she did with her own performance last week. She needed to make it tighter.
21:19 How does that tap to clap rubbish work?
21:18 Ha! That Alvin and the Chipmunks advert was great!
21:16 Now we've got Take That adverts coming on too!
21:15 Phew, it's a break! I might just go redecorate my bedroom or something.
21:13 I think Olly and the mayor are speaking different languages.
21:12 I think Tulisa should ditch N-Dubz for Little Mix!
21:11 This is so much better than Marcus and Gary. Very impressed.
21:10 Hey, Tulisa's not half bad!
21:09 Is Tulisa actually going to sing live? That's a first.
21:08 Wow! The toast guy from BGT has made Marcus' face! That is my highlight of the night so far.
21:07 Gary: One of the great things about Marcus is he listens to my every word.
21:05 This is flatter than Billy Joel's nose, I'm informed.
21:04 Gary: Look I can play piano too!
21:03 Marcus says he has never met anyone more talented than Gary. You need to get out more, mate.
21:03 Oh, he said he'd have sung with Johnny. Bless.
21:02 It’s duet time! I wonder what would have happened if Louis had got an act through? Actually, scratch that; it was never going to happen was it?
20:59 You could switch over to The Killing right about now. But why you’d want to watch something complex, intelligent and exciting is beyond me.
20:57 Marcus, I take it all back. If they can sell records, anyone can.
20:56 I think One Direction are deaf; Wembley already are making noise.
20:53 Thankfully, I've got some pins standing by to stick in my eyes if... no, when JLS/1D get too unbearable.
20:52 Oh no, it's recap time already! Only Dory from Finding Nemo would have forgotten them already.
20:51 Why should we feel so sorry for Amelia? She got a free pass through half the competition!
20:50 They've managed to fit all of Middlesborough in Wembley, apparently.
20:49 Aw, Gary go back to being nasty. I can't moan about you otherwise.
20:48 Tulisa, you don't have to tell them all they're at the Final. They might have realised, you know.
20:47 Well, it doesn't matter what I think; the judges are on their feet. Again.
20:46 The performance was going well, until the wobbly chorus.
20:46 Sadly, no method of transport for Amelia. I suppose it's nice to see concern for the environment.
20:44 Just seen a placard saying 'A Lily grows here'. That is inspired! Or worrying...
20:44 Ha! Stuff Wembley, Amelia got to perform at the Empire in Middlesborough.
20:43 Oh these mothers; they're very emotional.
20:42 And here comes Amelia. And she's gone back to her home town as well. There's a pattern developing here.
20:38 Why have they remade Dragon Tattoo? The Swedish version is just fine, thank you very much.
20:37 Oh goody, JLS and One Direction are going to perform together.
20:36 I'd have laughed if Perri's mum had just gone: 'No I wasn't too keen on that performance, actually.'
20:35 Least shocking announcement: Tulisa's lost for words.
20:35 Finally, Kelly gives them the praise they deserve. But what about Gary? Oh you've been in a band for many years, have you? Who knew?
20:33 And they've stood up again!
20:32 Excellent song choice, well performed, though there are a few too many Florence-isms to make it great.
20:31 There's a distinct transport theme going on tonight. Amelia's going to turn up in a bus.
20:31 Tulisa looks like she wants to compete with Sarah Lund in the jumper stakes.
20:30 I don't think they've got any fans over the age of 8.
20:29 Is every X Factor geordie from South Shields?
20:29 A girl is actually crying with love for them. They're not that good.
20:28 Tears alert!
20:27 Here come Little Mix. I do wish Tulisa would stop calling them muffins.
20:27 Yes, it would seem so.
20:26 Does Dermot have to start every sentence with ‘alright’?
20:26 Olly Murs can't hear himself in Liverpool. Unfortunately, we still can.
20:25 Oh it’s another final where they tell everyone they’re brilliant. They could vomit on the front row and they'd still be "sensational".
20:24 So did Tulisa.
20:24 Louis felt the need to tell Marcus he was in the final.
20:22 That chorus was a bit flat. But he's just gone woo again to make up for it.
20:21 Marcus is going woo, and has stolen the cast of Pan Am. And he's doing karaoke again. He's changing the music industry as we know it.
20:20 And now they're playing Take That in the background!
20:20 And we've got the first tears of the night. All is well.
20:19 A completely spontaneous scene there where Gary meets the family.
20:18 I'm glad that Marcus is excited about playing his school, becuase he's not going to pack out many other venues.
20:18 Marcus is up first, going back to Liverpool via Liverpool. A flock of Scousers are waiting for him.
20:17 Was that Dermot using sarcasm?
20:16 Oh it's the Downton trailer. Excitement!
20:13 Adverts already. This is going to be a long night. Although this advert where people are singing to cows has some novelty value.
20:12 Dermot has just informed us that one of those three will win. Thanks, Dermot. I don't know what I'd do without you,
20:12 Voting's open already! Well then they don't really need to perform do they...?
20:11 No we shouldn't do this every week, Dermot.
20:11 And the judges are on their feet. What a surprise.
20:10 It could be the greatest day of your life. Unless you get sent home at the end of it, that is.
20:09 They need to work on theire 'hold ons'. They are off.
20:09 Oh no, they're singing a group song. Oh no, it's a Take That song! Gary's ego is now almost blocking out the crowds.
20:08 The contestants have got their very own Thunderbirds entrance. Marcus looks very smug. Amelia looks about 25.
20:07 Why is it in black and white? Am I missing something?
20:07 Here's the first of many VT's. Kelly's so convinced by Amelia that she sent her home in Week 1.
20:06 How can Gary make a smirk and nod so annoying? I just don’t have any patience for him anymore. Or maybe I just need tiiiiii-iiiii-i-i-i-ime…
20:06 Louis looks like he’d rather be watching Strictly.
20:05 Here come the judges. What will they not be weraing?
20:05 Guest performances from Coldplay, Westlife... Yawn. And the judges are going to duet with the acts. Hmm.
20:04 There looks to be more people in that arena than went to watch Avatar.
20:03 Goldie's turned up now! I hope Frankie doesn't follow suit.
20:03 And Dermot’s dancing again. His routines now last longer than most of the contestants’ performances.
20:02 They're making Dickson work for it tonight, arent they. Oh, and it's the FINAL, just in case you didn't realise.
20:02 It’s time to face the music. It’s time to light the lights. It’s time to meet the Muppets… sorry, don’t know what came over me.
20:01 Oh one will leave tonight! Are we excited yet? No, me neither.
20:00 I am grateful to Mr Dickson for working out those fiendish subtractions for me every week.
20:00 It's at Wembley everybody! Just how noisy is it going to be, I wonder?
19:59 Ooh, it's starting! Get set for VT overload with Peter Dickson.
19:55 I’m just going to throw this out there right now; I think Little Mix are going to win. And deserve to. What are everyone else’s thoughts?
19:51 I’m blogging tonight with a very friendly tin of Miniature Heroes, whose help is going to be invaluable.
19:49 Hello and welcome to The Yorker’s X Factor live blog! Get yourself settled in because the show’s going to start in about 10 minutes!
YAY! So excited! Come on Marcus! 
"20:18 I'm glad that Marcus is excited about playing his school, becuase he's not going to pack out many other venues." Ouch, harsh 
That wasn't Marcus' best performance, but I still hope he wins.
Ugh. Little Mix murdering one of my favourite songs... I actually prefered the Wagner version.
So the advantage Little Mix have with the duets is that they can't be any worse than Tulisa.
