The Ratings Thread (Part 13)

The Series 2 finale did over 4m, it should comfortably do that at least. I think it peaked at 5m as well.

Masterchef the Proffesionals could move to BBC One but it sort of suits BBC Two and it would have to go through the format change that the parent show is going to have and I assume if that works it will filtered to the spin-oRAB with the exception of Junior Masterchef.
 
Daybreak got a record low rating because its half term. GMTV used to fall from around 0.9m to 0.6-7m during school holidays. There was a big shift productionwise in Daybreak yesterday so I think they should let November pan out before making any quick or big decisions, but they need to start work on their plan B as soon as possible for a potential launch in January.

Million Pound Drop did fine, it started late and ended 8 minutes early, the timechecked figure should put it above 2m (if that figure isn't timechecked). the curiosity factor will have worn off and the advertising campaign for this one wasn't as good.

I don't suppose you can tell me what the other channels rated between 10pm-11.30pm on BBC2, ITV and C5?

You assume correctly but in any event AZ has got more chance than SR. AZ could transmit tomorrow if there was a slot but there isn't. South Riding only finished filming two weeks ago, so that won't be ready for a few weeks yet. There should be a couple of Sunday slots in December spare, maybe one of these will end up there....
 
New Tricks is hurting it more than The Event, I expect it will go up when New Tricks finishes, I wouldn't be surprised if Five move it to a new slot when its come back from a hiatus.
 
None of those went from 9m for series 1 to 5m for series 2.

Expectations were certainly high on here, doubt anyone predicted Spooks to eventually win the battle.
 
It's also noticable that Lorraine is up on normal ratings by the same amount that Daybreak is down.

Breakfast won't be effected as it runs to 9.15 so viewers lost at 7.30 will instead join them at 8.30, plus I imagine less school-run parents watch Breakfast.

No, I meant all the key shows last night. TXF and SCD in particular.

TXF slightly down on last week then? 13.7m down to 13.5m?

Wonder what the "exciting" ITV news might be. Relaunch of Daybreak? :D
 
Thanks Mike, I thought it could be due to a regional alternative schedule.


The One Show at 5pm wouldnt work. The One Show's success is because people want something easy to watch whilst eating their dinner after getting in from work and who arent Emmerdale watchers. and they get that with The One Show.

If ITV did a version of that at 5pm it would fail as its too early for that type of show. As you say, it would have to become more of a chat show but then they have Alan Titchmarsh already who would appeal to the same demographic.
 
Most of those were never expected to do well though.

I still think The Prisoner must get the award though 1.6m after a 9m lead-in. 0.7m at 10:10 on a Saturday Night. Truly awful.
 
Oh gosh at that Strictly Speaking rating from Oz. Neighbours i feel could do with a better lead in. I do wonder what it would be like if they had MasterChef on at 6.30pm - 7.30pm and Neighbours at 7.30pm, that said, too late now.
 
I don't have those ratings unfortunately. But I'm pretty sure all three channels would've averaged about 1m between 1-11.30pm (maybe ITV slightly higher). Million Pound Drop would've beaten those channels.
 
Do you have any idea what date The Royal Variety Performance is airing on BBC1? The only slot I can see free would be Sunday 12th December, the date of The X Factor final...

Edit: Ah, it could air on Tuesday 14th December between 8pm and 10pm.
 
The exciting news will probably include more official details about the launch of ITV3 and ITV4 in high-definition. Both expected next month but no date has been set to my knowledge, nor have carriage deals been secured beyond BSkyB.
 
Ah right, thanks. :)



Because it plateaued. If it continued the regular growth as it did at the start of the series it'd be around the 20m mark by now. Did anyone actually expect that???
 
Or they could just accept they're never going to get much more of a breakfast audience than they've been getting over the last year or so, with any breakfast show, no matter how many new formats they try.

If that makes it financially necessary to shift the expense of Chiles and Bleakley to other ITV shows, so be it.
