The Ratings Thread (Part 13)

JLS fans are conformists of the highest order, they even have a uniform they all wear, I live in Peterborough, so I see it alot.

They are ideal ITV viewers.
 
I believe the drop for Daybreak coincided with the release of the Chilean miners when BBC Breakfast hit 1.8 million and viewers probably realised that the hard-news content of Daybreak was non-existent if they wanted to follow what was happening with the miners. Re Lorraine: wasn't she actually off this week and Kate Garraway doing it ?
 
When is Waterloo road back?
ON BBCHD yesterday they said it's back on Wednesday on their new BBC1 HD yet doesn't seem to be in the listings and they had no preview at the end:confused:
 
These are the RAB soap ratings from the last 2 weeks for Hollyoaks, half of them still below 1million. (the last Fri includes +1)

W/B Oct 11th
Monday - 1.1m (5.6%)
Tuesday -1.17m (6.1%)
Wednesday - 974k (4.8%)
Thursday - 1.05m (5.3%)
Friday - 882k (4.6%)

W/B Oct 18th
Monday - 1.15m (5.4%)
Tuesday - 960k (4.7%)
Wednesday - 975k (5.8%)
Thursday - 1.04m (5.2%)
Friday - 0.99m [inc +1]

Let's hope the clock change and the Hollyoaks Later publicity does something for it by next week.
 
Anyone know how Daily Show did on More4 last night. While show was an Obama interview, which was featured on a fair few news articles and mentioned on C4 News. Should have been a high for it.

The 2010 averages will almost certainly go up for the 3 soaps, so I'd expect Coronation Street and EastEnders nearer to 10m with Emmerdale hopefully nearer to 8m. For all 3 soaps, as you can see, it will end up their best year for several years.

I think its also worth noting that even without the supposed '3% increase' for the ratings, Emmerdale and EastEnders would both still be up on last year. Coronation Street will probably end up more than 3.0% up on last year providing their 50th anniversary brings in good figures.

If we're to look at the biggest drops though for each of the three soaps:

- Coronation Street: 2004. I think this is more down to a superb 2003 more than anything else, in particular drawing 19m for one or two episodes in that year with the Richard Hillman storyline meant that 2004 was going to be down.
- EastEnders: 2006. One of the worst years the soap has seen, with one or two record low ratings to throw into the mix. It's most expensive stunt if I recall brought it the lowest ever rating. Of course it also clashed with Emmerdale, which didn't help.
- Emmerdale: 2006. More to do with the World Cup than anything else when ITV chose to throw it on at 10pm, sending it to record low ratings of 3m and 4m.

Pretty sure you can also attribute the above average drops for Emmerdale and Coronation Street in 2008 to a change in producer.

Hope you guys like the above anyway. :)
 
Not great for Poirot, although I didn't think the 8pm start was that clever. Surely its more 9pm Sunday evening material?

Apprentive wasn't too high either, maybe the series is starting to decline.
 
I don't think they will have an episode on New Years eve but Boxing day and New Years day is a must.

EastEnders aired Boxing Day last year(the only soap too) and that was a Saturday so i think it's safe tosay we are going to get a non stop EastEnders from Thursday-Tuesday at least
 
I'm amazed how low CBBC has got. Does anyone know how these figures compare to even as recently as the 90s? Take for instance something like The Demon Headmaster - that must have done really well because *everyone* in their mid 20s remembers that. Yet nowadays it makes you wonder whether kiRAB chat in the playground about what shows they watched on TV the previous night because they were probably all watching different channels.
