Tipping Point is actually doing pretty well in the 4pm slot, not many are realising this. Face the Clock is doing terribly though, Countdown is around where I expect, and DOND, well it's just past it.
Face the Clock will take another plunge next week as it is shoved back to 14:15 to make room for Phil Spencer's (:D) new gameshow.

Strange half term for the UK. We've just finished ours but London and other parts of the country are due to start this week. This surely should affect ratings shouldn't it?
Quite an odd trajectory for Great Night Out throughout the series, with a bit of a rally in the past few weeks. I would say recommission it, and give it a repeat run for the Summer.
You could argue that they could put repeats of it on after The X Factor on Saturday's, where all you would tend to find is the news on occasions. I wouldn't promote it as a repeat, just see how many stick with the repeat run, if it even managed to get 1m/1.5m, that could be 1m 'new' viewers on top of 3.5m.
I'd say it should be recomissioned. It's a fresh show and not just another crime drama, so adds variety to ITV's stable of programmes, plus it is well received by those who watch it.
They should repeat it, either at 10:35 or at 10pm on a Saturday to pick up some new viewers.
Great Night Out
Series 1 performance (exc / inc +1)
ep 1 (11/01/13): 3.41m (13.9%) / 3.75m (15.2%)
ep 2 (18/01/13): 2.95m (11.5%) / 3.21m (12.4%)
ep 3 (25/01/13): 2.57m (10.5%) / 2.80m (11.4%)
ep 4 (01/02/13): 3.01m (13.3%) / 3.22m (14.2%)
ep 5 (08/02/13): 3.23m (14.1%) / 3.42m (15.0%)
ep 6 (15/02/13): 3.43m (15.3%) / 3.61m (16.1%)
Series average: 3.10m (13.1%) / 3.34m (14.1%)
Episode 3 took a knock from the CBB final but otherwise it actually grew steadily after the inevitable dip for episode 2 which nearly all new shows suffer, and it finished on a series high if you exclude +1. I think the signs are good enough for a recommission, just about.
EDIT: the demos will decide it, of course. If I can manage it, I'll find some demo ratings.
Great Night Out should return. A funny show that's on the wrong night.
I'm not sure where else it goes though, It's been propped up by Corrie so the only other night with a Corre lead-in is Mondays and i'm not sure giving a show that has posted underwhelming figures at best a Monday 9pm slot next January/February is wise considering ITV can get 5m+ overnights in that slot fairly easily. Otherwise, it airs later in the year when less people are watching TV or another night without a Corrie lead-in which both sound look troubled ground.
Decent rating for the New Tricks repeat. Disappointing to be pumping these out in February, but I suppose it's just a holding slot until the comic relief documentarys/night.

That's a promising tradjectory. It would be worth trying for a 2nd series to see if it can hold onto that audience and perhaps pick up new viewers from the repeat run on ITV's digital channels. Comedies do tend to pick up new viewers on repeat runs more than dramas I think. Especially as it's a young male targetted show, who likely wouldn't be watching ITV at 9pm on a Friday.
14:40 - Countdown: 415k (5.8%)
15:40 - Face the Clock: 229k (2.8%)
16:00 - Deal or No Deal: 996k (9.1%)
This schedule has gone badly wrong. Countdown should be restored to a later slot and hopefully it can regain back to 600k-700k, which whilst poor by Countdown's historical standards, is actually respectable for C4 daytime in general.
I cant believe Channel4 are now doing a fixed camera documentary series in a fried chicken shop. Theyve now done these based on maternity ward, A&E, police station, ambulance services, club bouncers, gym, hotel, school, some others I cant remember and now a small chicken shop.
For future series if there is any, probably Housewives with Children based on the demos it's been getting.
Thanks. That wouldn't have been the intended demo, I guess? ITV would probably have been hoping for lots of youngish males. I suppose at first, commercial broadcasters have to guess what demo a new programme is going to appeal to, taking into account the price they can charge for each one. Housewives with Kids is one of the cheaper ones, isn't it, as they're so easy to reach?
Great Night Out achieved the following overnight ratings among Housewives with Kids on average across its run (inc +1):
Audience of 491.5k, TVR of 7.4, share of 16.8%.
Compared with overall audience of 3.3m, TVR of 5.8, share of 14%.
So it didn't really set the world alight even in this demo.
(approx figures as I used the 21:00-22:00 timeslot here, and one of the episodes finished at 21:57, or 21:55 tape-checked)
Comedies do tend to pick up new viewers on repeat runs more than dramas I think. Especially as it's a young male targetted show, who likely wouldn't be watching ITV at 9pm on a Friday.
Of the 7.46m men aged 16-34 in the country, on average 1.79m were watching TV in the Friday 9pm slot during GNO's run (inc same-day timeshift of course), and GNO captured just 180k of them - a share of 10.0% and a TVR of 2.4. (Figures inc +1.)
Comedies are hard to launch. Characteristics need to bed in before they succeed. Itv also need instant hits more than the bbc which justify a second series more readily than its commercial rival. I think a repeat run would benefit this show although I've never seen any myself so dont know if its good or not but good to see itv trying comedy.

So it is increasing week-on-week. I wonder what Samuel will say
It is half-term so it should get around the same it's getting now
If it does well in a repeat run.
