I'd love to know what jumped up fine or punishment Ofcom could come up
Handing the PM a piece of paper - £250k
Allowing names to be seen - £250k
of course if this was the old days
IRA documentary questioning a shoot to kill policy - loss of ITV licence to for London franchise
that seemed fair :cool:
This Morning and Newsnight never named anybody but what they did led to people being able to workout who they were talking about and then fill social media timelines with the name. I think that's quite serious.

Newsnight produced a report that had a massive flaw, the person who was being accused of a crime wasn't the person who committed it
This Morning tried to be clever by making PM acknowledge internet gossip about the innocent person
I don't see how ITV's crime is greater than BBC's nor do I see what would be a fair punishment for either broadcaster
BBC didn't follow their own rules regarding fact checking, ITV tried to do a stupid stunt.
SInce Bryan Kirkwood returned he's turned it round in (almost) the click of a finger which makes me wonder what went so wrong at Eastenders.
and that is one of the biggest mystery's as well for me.
How come he can work magic at Hollyoaks, but at EE all he did was fail, at his best he was average on EastEnders.
Is it really to do with the fact that EastEnders isnt (and shouldn't) be teen centric, and attempts to make it so fail? where as Hollyoaks, bread and butter is its younger characters.
Regarding The Hour, BBC America co-produced Season 2, so it isn't costing BBC UK as much as Season 1.
Digital Spy is reporting a rating of 1.34 million for the S2 premiere last night. This number will surely increase for the final ratings, and probably get close to the S1 finale (which had a final rating of 1.86 million).

Its simple. Hollyoaks has younger demographics than EE. Kirkwood focus was on the younger cast members. This resulted in a proportion of viewers over 30 switching off.

so was the previous Hollyoaks producer not focusing on younger characters?
Whilst ok EE is a bigger soap, all soaps need the same basic skills, long term story plotting etc
To be fair - haven't the England team gone down a lot in people's estimations in the past 18 months?
No worse than they were under McClaren, if anything slightly better. And people watched them in the Euros when everyone said they were going to flop massively.
As for The Hour, I imagine it will have done well on HD, given it's "all style". With consolidation, it could get to or past 2m.
The Hour (BBC2) 9pm-10pm
1.29m (5.89%) / 43.6 (0.2%) HD
The 1950s newsroom drama enjoyed a decent amount of publicity in the run-up to the second series. But this and new faces, including Peter Capaldi, were not enough to translate into big viewing figures.
Its combined audience of 1.33m (5.9%) was its lowest ever and was more than 1.5m viewers short of the first series debut of 2.89m (12.65%), according to overnight Barb figures supplied by Attentional.
Wednesday’s episode also lost viewers over the period it was on air. It started with an audience of 1.49m (6.6%) over its first 15 minutes on BBC2, but this tailed off to 1.23m (5.9%) in its final quarter of an hour.
yes they were saying on the radio earlier, that his lawyers are going tweet by tweet. Truthfully he would be mad to take action against individual Twitterers, BUT this should be a warning to the Twitter types, not to write that someone is a paedophile, and then act shocked, when the person they write about is innocent, and isnt happy about that.
As this is a numbers thread - here's the running total on complaints to Ofcom:
Newsnight - 4
This Morning - 415

I wonder how many of those were Conservative voters complaining about This Morning? Also it should be pointed out that the majority of Newsnight complaints have most likely gone to the BBC directly.

They're still on the list. I wouldn't want to be on a list of a rich man with deep pockets after I effed up and potentially led to him getting false accusations leveled against him.
The DCMS have now been in touch with ITV. It's a serious matter even though others see it as frivolous.

I agree, media-types love it, because the people in it are all like them. Personally i find them all hateful. Lovely period sets and details though.
Yet I'm not watching the second series. Must cost the beeb a lot of money too for those ratings.
Oh and as I've said before about the rating for "that" football match, just shows Exeter City are ratings gold;)

Egypt friendly (3/3/10) 7.84m (31.9%) overnight.
Spain Friendly (11/2/09) 6.78m (30.1%) overnight (coverage didn't finish until 11:10pm).
Germany friendly (19/11/08) 7.22m (19/11/08) overnight.
5m for a close, competitive England game has never been the norm.

that was the point I was trying to make, there isn't a lot of love for England football team
The nation gets behind the team during tournament play, but are more fickle for friendlies and qualifiers

Well he had to abandon his biggest EE storyline (the baby swap) because of the sensitive ladies on Mumsnet.:rolleyes:

The plots were just OTT and stupid. I can't comment what Hollyoaks is like at the momment as I switched off around 2009.
Not to mention all these friendlies are becoming increasingly meaningless. The winners were STV viewers who got a repeat of All Star Mr and Mrs.:D
No more friendlies now than there have ever been.
Back to the drawing board with that one....
very long list?

From memory one of the last (if not the last?) England friendlies on BBC1 got over 9m.
I'm not 100% certain on this but from memory it was a friendly vs Switzerland at Wembley and it got 9.2m.
Maybe someone can confirm / correct?
Indeed!
