On This Morning today Siobhan Finnerhan cleared up the Happy Valley series 3 stories.
Nothing has been decided but she said Sarah Lancashire was misquoted about not wanting to do more when she had really just said she was not sure how they could do another series and maintain quality.
But Siobhan said all the cast wanted to come back if Sally Wainwright agreed to write another series as they all love her work.
Marcella does look promising and the creator (who also is behind the excellent Scandi drama The Bridge) says he is willing to do follow up series if ITV wants them.
But there still will be a series 4 of The Bridge and Saga (Sofia Helin) is signed up to return. Good news.
Interestingly last years series 3 of The Bridge had a rather similar plot to one of the recent 2016 episodes of Midsommer Murders episodes. Anyone else notice that?
Both involved artistic murderers who posed their victims as part of different sculpture displays
Oh and East Enders have had some complaints (though more praise in total) from viewers upset at the reveal by Stacey's brother that he used to be her sister last night.
Doubt it will make the ratings plummet!
Whereas on Hollyoaks there has been near universal praise for the scenes where gay teacher John Paul McQueen's headmistress (whom he thought was trying to do a Mrs Robinson seduction on him) revealed to her ex wife - Myra McQueen - that she was only interested in him because she was John Paul's father.
That is one episode synopsis I doubt they would have had on The Archers in the 1950s - not without creating more than a few complaints (if only from linguists).
F1 will be exclusively live on Sky Sports from 2019. No sooner did C4 win the rights and now they've gone. Sky will show the British Grand Prix live and highlights of all other races on a 'free to air' basis, whatever that means.
The Yorkshire Vet returns to Channel 5 for a second series on Tuesday 12th April at 8pm.
Series 1 averaged 1.31m consolidated (exc. +1) and achieved a series high 1.47m for the last of the six episodes.

20 episodes this time as well, given how successful GPs Behind Closed Doors has done, I imagine they'll show it in one block. Funny how successful vet programmes have done for Channel 4 and 5.

And Channel 4 let horse racing rights go so they could have Formula One. It's funny how things workout isn't it?

So much for Bernie wanting it on free to ait.
Another sport gone.

Pick, or whatever the 2019 equivalent is, I'd imagine. It's what they did when C4 lost the NFL rights last year, stuck 2-3 games on pick.
How come BBC dramas always consolidate so much after 28 days in comparison to ITV or Ch4 dramas? Is it to do with adverts or just general great reach by the BBC?
Has BBC1 actually had a drama on Tuesday's that has actually flopped? I don't recall one. The cloest I can see of this happening is Frankie which was still over 4m.
ITV below 2m all evening with double factual AGAIN!! Someone is clearly not learning lessons.

Please don't mention Frankie again! They had a flop Wednesday drama. Remember The Interceptor? We won't mention that again either!
With ITV/Channel 4 drama you'd expect a lot of recorded viewing to skip commercials. Humans did very well in 28 day numbers, but the largest 28 day timeshifts have been for BBC1 dramas. No idea why.

It must be to do with reach. Given then number of viewers who watch or listen to radio stations by the BBC every day, they can reach viewers further than any other channel.
The Interceptor wasn't on Tuesday though. I imagine it would have been around 500k-1m higher on Tuesday being against weaker competition and typically a day BBC1 does well.

I'd say word of mouth in workplaces led to The Night Manager and Doctor Foster adding so much rather than reach. Didn't help Cuffs.
And The Interceptor was dreadful, people would have tuned out no matter what day it was on.
I think there was a flop sci-fi drama on BBC One on Tuesdays a few years ago. Didn't it get bumped to Sunday nights at 10.30? Outcasts?
Can't remember if Waterloo Road was on Tuesdays, that was a flop particularly when the school was moved to Scotland with no perceptible change in the curriculum.
Comments
Thanks Mike.
That's a surprisingly high timeshift for The Night Manager!
Is the official figure for the Happy Valley finale available yet?
That was a spectacularly good week for BBC1 Drama's with 4 over 8.5m in one week when was the last time that happened if ever?
I think you would have to go back a fair bit to see that.

That's a good one as is The Tube. Good to see these programmes on Channel 5.
Money was always going to win.
ITV also originally let the F1 go to keep the football.
Not good for yet another sport to be behind a paywall, there is going to be very little free to air at this rate.

I was one of the few that liked it. Outcasts was a big flop, the Survivors remake lost viewers on Tuesdays too.
