ITV arent bothering apart from Ant and DEc and Family Fortunes. Used to have expensive entertainment shows like Dancing On Ice. Sunday is just a repeat of the Chase now yet again !
Now its just repeats and rubbish.
Your back in the room is Lame, BBC is dull on a sunday as usual and nothing on Saturday apart from The Voice which is bad too.
Catching up on Banished today and watching The Following and Walking Dead...!

I didn't think there was any tv in 1936 ftv!....... Or if there was hardly anyone had a tv!..... it is widely shown that when the Queens Coronation was broadcast they show film of people all congregating in the one persons house that had a tv in those days and that was in 1953 wasn't it?..... So I can't imagine what those stats are all about that you have there?.....
and at this rate before long the same numbers will be watching Saturday night telly as watched in 1936!
Do they still show the same films about fifty times inside a few weeks?
Yes. But I found a film from their general listing that I'd missed. It was called Deception (from 2013, not the 2008 one) with Geoffrey Rush. A strange movie, but I quite enjoyed it.
I think you might be referring to the programme times as per the 24-hour clock. The BBC says the transmissions from Alexandra Palace reached 25% of the UK population although there is no reliable measure of how many people had sets.
Not everyone likes sport, but there wasn't even decent alternatives for non rugby fans. ITV predictably had another ancient set of You've Been Framed clips and yet another episode of The Chase. BBC One later had its X Factor rip off and Casualty rip off and ITV its chavfest entertainment.
Yes, me too........... I actively look to see what's on during the daytime when I am at work so that I can record things because I know there is just hardly anything on during the evening that I am going to want to watch!......
Have I lost the plot here?....... Casualty wasn't on last night! was it?..., It looked like the whole evening was taken up with The Voice?...... I spent the evening watching ITV4 with Doc Martin and Foyles war!.........
I agree there are no accurate figures until we get to 1947 when there were 14,560 TV licences in force. By 1952 the figure had grown to 1,449,000 when television had spread to the Midlands, North, central Scotland and south Wales and by 1960 to 10,469,000.
Thank you for telling us what you want and what you like.
Ratings show BBC1 is very popular and its showing Entertainment Drama quizzes and Sport, Sunday nights Countryfile Antiques roadshow and Poldark are very popular.
The Voice got over 7 million last night so the majority like it, rather than the house party rip off on ITV.
Its BROADcasting, ie for the many not the few or the one, Iplayer can tailor a service to you what you personally like.
The Coronation was the catalyst for the growth in television ownership. Before the Coronation, only one in ten households had a television, two years later this had trebled and the creation of ITV also helped television's popularity grow as they connected more with a mass audience than the BBC. By the end of the decade over 70 per cent of homes had a television. Also renting made television more affordable.
I agree. In fact it's not just weekends now, there's little on in the week.
I'm beginning to wonder how much longer I'll keep Virgin and the TiVo as it all seems such a waste of money. Even the satellite/cable channels seem to have given up just as much.
Actually interested in what the impressions were.
Bizarely same here.
Correlation doesn't prove causation.
