    A couple more before I go to bed:

    Channel 4 (exc / inc +1)
    09:30-12:00 - Sunday Brunch: 669k (8.3%) / 749k (9.3%)
    ...
    16:20 - Time Team: 923k (6.0%) / 1.04m (6.8%)

    If anyone has any particular requests, let me know and I'll have a look tomorrow night.

    Almost forgot - how is Got to Dance doing for it's live editions on Sky1?

    The second live semi-final last night on Sky 1 achieved 702k (3.1%) inc +1, similar to last week's overnight of 719k (2.9%), which consolidated to 907k (3.6%).

    As is this, really. Above the channel average in a crappy slot. Shouldn't have been axed.

    Anyone know what the Hollyoaks omnibus was getting a year or so ago, and indeed what it's getting now on E4 where it does now at last seem to have moved to a more student friendly slot of around 10.15am each week.

    The first battle round last night (which saw Kian put through a pregnant gypsy) scored 743k and 44%. The highest rating so far this series and the highest rating on Irish tv over the past week.


    EastEnders airs it's misplaced Comic Relief episode Wednesday 6th March. I assume it'll be at 8/8:30, preferably 8:30 providing a good lead in to the penultimate Mayday which will face Lighfields. But with most programmes starting at 8pm, EE would be likely to rate poorly in that slot unless they aired Mayday at 8:30 and a comedy rpt. after it.

    PS Thanks for the ratings Neil:)

    We definitely will. :) It will be interesting to see what kind of uplift ITV gets in those slots as well.

    I was only thinking today that the BBC should think about moving the Friday EastEnders to Wednesday 8pm and boost the night. Friday's would be a bit bare but they could always put the Wednesday schedule there instead.

    There should be an uplift at 6:30 but any uplift for Daybreak will be offset by a downlift due to it being half term. No doubt BBC1's schedule will still be way out in the lead.

    I agree, in fact I would make Friday a totally flexible night, removing the one show from the schedule aswelly. At the moment the one show is weakest on fridays(and most likely always has and always will be) Eastenders is also less popular.It would give BBC1 a night to show film premieres, or air longer dramas. Launch strictly, test out comedies.

    I know the argument would be that shows would get lost without structure, but there would be structure, but a changing structure, like saturdays, and maybe eventually fridays will have structure, just different to the rest of the week.

    Just had a look at the BARB Top 30s for w/e 10th Feb. Dallas scored 1.22 million (against 1.24 million the week before) making it the 7th most watched show on Channel 5 that week. The decision to move it to a later slot seems even more bizarre, its clear the show has a huge timeshift audience.

    Those figures for Person Of Interest look stronger than I thought which is good.

    Dallas seems to timeshift well. Still feel Dallas should be put on 5*, perhaps after American Idol on a Friday (American Idol I'm sure shows from 8pm - 9pm, which would lead Dallas to follow from 9pm - 10pm).

    Its 2 weeks on the trot that Dallas time shifted 500,000 viewers and the final figures are just 20,000 down on the season premiere. Its the 7th most watched show on the network FFS and they just dumped it in a graveyard slot.

    Clearly Dallas has a loyal audience, but not one that's willing to watch it live. It might have done better on the Beeb without the seemingly never ending adverts.

    Everything does better on the Beeb due to no adverts, why is this news to you? It would have been no more likely to be a hit, as the Beeb would have had higher expectations.

    Big timeshifts are all well and good if there's a decent core audience there watching on broadcast. In Dallas' case there wasn't. And when you're a commercial network looking to sell adverting spots, that is very bad. Audience trends both here and elsewhere suggested it was only going one way.

    Can I ask where are you getting all this ££ for this?? Fantasy land is great.

    Film premieres- apart from animations can you tell me what major film premieres the BBC have rights to? Are Sky/ITV/C4/C5 going to gift them their rights?
    BTW moving drama money to Fridays? What are you going to commission to replace it from Sunday to Tuesday in the schedules. Extended Countryfile.:rolleyes:

    The timeshift does suggest that maybe Channel 5 should have tried Dallas at 10pm rather than immediately shifting it to the graveyard slot. I can understand that they couldn't afford to have it hurting the 9pm slot but I can't see why they wanted to move it so late so soon, as it were. :o

    It's not half-term everywhere. Where I live it was half-term last week.

    Has anyone seen a BARB Top 50 for 2012 ? I have them for 2011 and 2010 which I think I got from the Broadcast web site but haven't seen one for 2012.

    Same with me, it's my idea, of course they wouldn't do it... :p

    I do think the network should unify all news output into one programme, and I also think regional news should be integrated into the main show.

    I think Daybreak needs to go, and ITN could produce a better breakfast show in a news channel format.

    And I think the soaps must return to Sunday night. Sunday is a night where viewers expect Corrie, Downton etc, lets face it, XF results need to be put back on Saturday, as does DOI full stop.

    I've said this for years but undoing Simon Shaps's schedule revamp has got to be one of the biggest pieces of sh!t a network has ever had to get out of.

    The schedule was just ideas, which I believe in, though it's typical some (not all) of the criticism has been rude! ;) Instead of slagging it/me off why don't we have a discussion about things ITV CAN do to fix its schedule.

    And saying "drop episodes of soap" "put on quality programmes" is in MY opinion a waste of discussion! :p

    I'm talking where things could be moved to strengthen the schedule overall and through the day, and opening up logical slots for NEW shows. Under my plans there are openings at:

    Weds 8pm hour
    Thursday 8pm hour

    Friday 8.30pm slot

    For new shows. I'd aim for a mix of drama and comedy in these slots, all free of EastEnders clashes.

    Problem areas are soap scheduling and breakfast.

    I doubt BBC Breakfast will suffer very much as they provided a solid half-hour of news at 6,7 and 8 which is what viewers turn to the BBC for in the mornings.

    ITN already produce the news for Daybreak. I'm not sure moving the readers a mile and a half up the road from the South Bank to Grays Inn Road is going to solve their problems. Problem with breakfast seems to be the fragmentation of the commercial audience across multiple channels. Cant see it all coming back.

    Tht right at all. How come ITV2 beats BBC3 if that's the case? How come up until last year The X Factor beat Strictly head to head? How come ITV wins any slot at all?

    With 1.5 million unhappy Breakfast viewers not getting their programme, Daybreak should surely see an uplift of at least half that. So I think they'd be disappointed if its not up to at least 1.5m.

    I'd imagine the BBC News bulletin at 8am and Heir Hunters will scrape 1m, but everything else well below. Should be a rare morning victory for ITV!
