    X Factor's doctoring of voices; will we all squeal the same way as we did at

    the China Olympics' trick?

    ...warned before showing? And (better still), will we be given a number to call '...if you have been affected', after the showing? Do not moan too much about telly, as I don't watch enough of it, but reading this wee story almost made me retch. What about wee weans who love watching it - will...
