*DS Ratings Predictions Game: Season 11*

I agree, I do look at the other ratings but I think that it would disadvantage others tbh.

How rude of me not to say the first time:eek: -
happy birthday Dancc:).
 
WEEK 9 SCHEDULE
Mon 30th August - Sun 5th September

1. Edinburgh Military Tattoo - Mon 19:00 BBC One: 4.3m
2. I Am Slave - Mon 20:30 C4: 1.1m
3. Agatha Christie
 
At the time of publication it was correct. If it changes at the last minute a backup will replace it as a main and all predictions will be binned.


For the main channels yes. The only time where HD isn't included is if the programmes in question are not being simulcast in HD, such as certain BBC One/BBC Two programming like EastEnders. This still applies even if the programme is shown on BBC HD later in the evening.

It is a bit confusing but the change seems to have gone alright. The main problem seems to be that all the different ratings websites have a different policy when it comes to HD; some include it and some don't, some only in certain situations, etc.
 
I'd have a reasonable idea about American ratings but my guess is that a significant portion of the players would either have no clue or not enough of a clue to feel like they stand a chance. It might be fun to have a one-off collection of American back-ups one week, especially if it's a big ratings week in the States, but any more than that runs the risk of alienating players which is the last thing we want. It's a shame because it's a fun idea but I think it'd be a difficult sell.

As for Australian ratings, they're all within such a small range that it'd be too easy for everyone to get high points. There's no challenge in that so that probably wouldn't work either.

On a far more important note, happy birthday Dancc! Have a brilliant day. :)
