The groups only work if they're going to do it like American Idol and play up the conflicts and follow them rehearsing. But they don't really have time to do that.

When X Factor stated doing their "tomorrow night" preview. So there won't be a huge last minute peak for X Factor. So it ended at 21:13, a whole 8 minutes late! That is appauling, although I'm sure with next week's telethon they'll have enough time for everything. Same show last year had 8.2m and 36% share (which was the second lowest share of the whole series). ![]() I'd imagine that X Factor will beat last year's rating, but will be down on last week (bootcamp always goes down). I'm predicting: Merlin: 4.7m SCD: 7.9m The Cube: 4.5m X Factor: 8.4m Piers: 3.9m As for Piers Morgan's show, Cliff Richard isn't a big enough draw to get a big audience. I hope that they get the guests right on Life Stories, as it could do really well if they do. I'll be surprised if Simon Cowell doesn't do one, but the only people I've heard are doing it are Cilla Black and Geri Halliwell, who will both draw in a decent crowd. |

I think XF will be down anyway. Awful show tonight (IMHO).
Unless anyone wants to own up to switching off halfway through through boredom. Quote:

Everything was down last night, as maybe people enjoyed a nice Friday night out which could be the last until the spring. Derren Brown dived badly - maybe people are fed up with him not telling. Rebus was low but an ok share.
As for The X Factor - how did so much tripe get through the audition stage??? |

I usually like bootcamp though but it was a poor show tonight. And the point of the audience was? I can live with them at the auditions but they were unnecessary tonight.

Yeah, I agree with you, it's never been great, although I prefer it will all the acts and judges together rather than each category done separately (series 1-3).
Quote:
I much prefer judges houses though, as you get to see all the acts in full for the first time.
Although again I preferred it when they went to their UK houses, rather than a hired house abroad (or in Dublin!). As you say though, it is the first time you see them in full. Still annoys me Sharon put Tabby through in Series 1 over that other guy (Andy I think). IIRC he looked after his ill dad or something - that would see him sailing through to the live shows nowadays.And god, the sob story returned with a vengeance tonight. Loved the beginning though absolutely taking the piss out of Simon when they showed those two awful groups performing. |

The X-factor is very badly edited, you have weeks of mediocre performances and the joke ones and 2 or 3 reasonable acts per show.
Then Boot camp and you think wow did these really get through..........."ooh the decisions are so hard" cue tears & tantrums roll on the live shows |

From a purely ratings point of view it'll be interesting to see if his show is boosted by people wanting to see his accident, a la Richard Hammond in Top Gear. I'm glad he's ok. |

Thanks dubsj.
![]() Last week's peaks were 8.1m and 10m so it looks like SCD is slightly up and X Factor is slightly down (it always is at bootcamp). Do you have the averages or the 15 minute numbrs? Thanks. Piers seems to have done OK too, and will have averaged over 4m, which isn't too bad. |

Both channels should be pretty happy with those. SCD closed the gap and increased its audience, XF kept good figures.

I think Merlin did much better after SCD. I think it's too early and I don't think people have quite found it yet in this slot, if you know what I mean. I really hope it doesn't have less than Hole in the Wall but I wouldn't be surprised. This isn't a good year for this kind of drama.
I hope that Hole In The Wall is a better lead in than the silly animal program they had the week before. Merlin's ratings increased to near 6m by the end of the 45mins last week but it needs viewers there from the start of the show. I'd consider it rather tragic if we lost Robin Hood, Primeval and Merlin in one year! |

Averages
Strictly Come Dancing - 7.9m The X Factor - 8.9m Source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8276934.stm Last year's ratings for the equivalent shows: SCD - 8.6m (sat) or 8.1m (sun), TXF - 8.2m |

Very good to see X Factor hold most of last week's audience despite it being bootcamp, traditionally the lowest week of the series. Here are last year's equivalent ratings:
The X Factor: 8.18m (36.0%) (19:45-21:15) Strictly Come Dancing: 8.70m (41.3%) (18:45-20:05) Interesting that despite the clash, The X Factor is almost 1m up year on year. The clash seems to be damaging Strictly, though, as it's almost 1m down on last year, when it took an earlier slot. Also, here's X Factor's equivalent rating from two years ago (SCD hadn't started): 6.76m (36.1%) (18:05-19:15) Puts the growth into perspective, really. |

I wouldn't be surprised if Merlin was below 5m, as it was a nice evening where I am, and it was only just above it last week. A shame really, as it was great last night.

Saturday 26th September Overnights
BBC One 14:00- F1 Qualifying: 2.19m (25.4%) 18:10- Hole In The Wall: 3.60m (22.6%) 18:40- Merlin: 5.07m (27.2%) 19:25- Strictly Come Dancing: 7.91m (33.2%) 21:05- The National Lottery Draws: 6.19m (27.5%) 21:15- Casualty: 5.26m (24.2%) 22:05- BBC News: 5.06m (27.1%) 22:25- Match Of The Day: 4.21m (31.6%) ITV1 19:00- The Cube: 4.62m (22.4%) 20:00- The X Factor: 8.89m (36.1%) 21:15- When Piers Met Sir Cliff: 4.64m (21.3%) --------------------------------------------------------------- Solid night for both channels again, with what looks like 20%+ primetime shares. At least Strictly didn't go down any further, and I think its ratings will rise once we're well into the live shows. Merlin retained its audience from last week which is good. Match of the Day's ratings are impressive for that time slot! Thanks to MattJ for the ratings |

ITV's public slanging match with the BBC is obviously working then. It's all about the publicity!

So glad Merlin held on to all of it's audience from last week, and as the weather gets worse, and the nights draw in, the audience should increase
The Cube has held up well, with less of a lead in and early slot, so will more than likely be recommisioned. Hole In The Wall's rating is a little on the low side, but i can't image it being too expensive to make, and its still about 1m higher than last years debut, and should rise when Tv Burp comes back due to some coverage on there.

There's no doubt that SCD has lost out in the last year on almost every level. Decision making and crucially in the press, I think the BBC have shown a naievity with the show.
The eye catching result on Saturday for me was Match of The Day. Good day in the Premiership, but thats a good rating over 70 mins in such a late slot. |

Pleased to see Merlin retain it's audience from last week. I think next week could see a small drop as it's starting almost half an hour earlier than yesterday.
Good numbers once again for X-Factor considering it was BC which doesn't usually rate particularly well and SCD added a couple of hundred thousand on last weeks figures which is pleasing. |
