Could Casualty be returning to its gritty roots? Less is more, and the shorter series could mean more time to spend on ambitious storytelling and tighter writing. It was a much better show in its early years when there were less episodes.
Im inclined to think someone has just put a wrong number in

That would explain why it is being frequently trailed after Eastenders recently.

Didn't expect to read that. The current series is around 40+ episodes. So what happens after this 27? Another 20+ starting straight after?
The wrong numbers are listed on the iplayer page. It is actually episode 42 of 43 ;-)
According to the Radio Times that is
I think Forsaking All Others is a two parter ending series 29. Looks to be episodes 45 & 46. Then series 30 starts next weekend with another two parter. Viewers will just see Casualty continuing like it usually does. It has lost its impact now it is no longer a series with 20+ episodes a year.
Extra Slice would do better on Wednesday immediately after show. I've got Extra Slice on record and pick it up over weekend but it loses it's relevance/appeal as an adhoc half hour a few days after show.
Yes very bizarre how the bake offs after show/companion show is shown 2 days later
At least ITV are *trying* with new shows, they could have stuck on repeats.
Yes but a barbecue challenge and zelebs shearing sheep, these are hardly shows many people want to watch. I could have suggested show more films, but the presence of the soaps and News At Ten makes this very difficult now. Surely a reasonably cheap option in the 9-10 slot would be Celebrity Chase( even a repeat), which could pull in 4 million.
However, BBC One isn't that much better at the moment. Yet another Pointless repeat at the moment.
No major improvement for Ripper Street, below 2.93m as it didn't make the top 3. Don't know if it dipped again yet though.
I always thought it would struggle on a Friday night it doesn't really feel like a Friday show/drama and it's not the sort of thing you could just dip in and out of

But currently without the big shoes of SCD and XF and TVUK it's the top rated Saturday show week in week out.
Agree most listings show these as 45/46 to end the current season and the breaks are a bit like the Graham Norton show at Christmas and Easter.
It has been cut.... But only by 4 episodes. 43 episodes next year according to the exec producer. Similar size to the 2011/12 run. Like 2012 next Summer they will have Euro 2016 and the Olympics so won't need as many.
I think X Factor will suprise everyone next weekend and have a high rating for both shows. I'm guessing 10m
Well they have made enough noise about the changes as they had to really. There will be curiosity no doubt, but its also Summers last hurrah tied in with the Bank Holiday. Weather will play a part too whatever it is-I don't think its an easy ride for the show launching on that weekend but time will tell.

The last bank holiday before Christmas and the long range weather forecast is showing a high pressure over the uk bringing warm air up from the continent. It will pull down the audience numbers for all channels so the figures I would say, should be around 8 million including plus 1

I don't listen to radio 1 now because of him and I won't even give the x factor a try because of him.
