Nice to see Criminal Justice improve - but it never improved a huge amount. The Fixer has to be axed now IMO.
I wonder if things like this will get more people tuning in on Sunday to The X Factor... By the way, I've seen ads for True Blood on the Five channels over the past 24 hrs. Good to see C4 going all out on promoting it...you know a channel is serious about a show when you start seeing ads elsewhere...looks good. Meanwhile Sky News has been doing a bit of shameless plugging for In Treatment this morning, much to the dismay of The Grauniad: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/medi...s-mdeia-monkey Funny that Media Monkey choose to attack this in particular when BBC Breakfast and GMTV do this every morning. It's almost as if they have an axe to grind...surely not! |

Strong timeshift for DM considering the Scottish opt out. Also very interesting just looking at the official ratings for late 2007 when Doc Martin was last on...Doc Martin was leading XF by 1-2m viewers every week! Just shows how times have changed!
Big gains for both, but that's what happens when you put two very popular programmes on against each other. |

Murderland confirmed for three-weeks from Monday 19th October: http://www.itv.com/presscentre/murde...3/default.html . And ITV have done something which is confusing. The first TXF results show is on from 20:00 to 21:00 - but the second one, on the 18th October is on from 19:45 to 21:00 - with Family Fortunes on from 19:00 to 19:45. Not sure what's wrong with this weekend's schedule.... ![]() So much for the standard 8pm time.

BBC Press Office has updated - but now has left things confused.
It confirms that the Formula 1: Brazillian Grand Prix Qualifying is on BBC One, however, Casualty is moved to Sunday (with nothing on the Saturday), and Merlin doesn't appear to be no where. ![]() There's nothing that suggests that Casualty is a two parter that weekend. Here's the current confirmed schedule: Saturday 17th October 13:00 - Gymnastics – World Championships 16:30 - Final Score 17:05 - BBC News 17:20 - Formula 1: The Brazillian Grand Prix Qualifying 19:15 - Strictly Come Dancing 21:25 - Lottery [presumably] 21:35 - ![]() Sunday 18th October 16:00 - Formula 1: The Brazillian Grand Prix 19:10 - Countryfile 20:10 - Casualty (note - the date on BBC PI is also in red - meaning it has been moved from the Saturday) 21:00 - Emma Holby City I should note is also down for Tuesday and Wednesday of that particular week. |

I watched 1 epsiode on FX and thought it was woeful. Having read online others felt the same. So I reckon it could get a big initial audience for C4 but then drop, as thousands like me just won't 'get it' and I usually like American drama's

On the other hand I thought it was brilliant and it's proved to be quite popular, with a third season planned.

I could see ITV sticking with the 1hr15m results show. They'd only need to find 5 minutes or so more content - the rest is extra provision of adverts... |

Well I'm pretty sure Merlin's been dropped for the week - so it'll now finish on the same Saturday as SCD. But Casualty makes no sense at all. Why throw it under the bus against the X Factor on Sunday when AR holds up nicely there. Surely 9.35 on Saturday isn't too late - I guess it would shove MOTD back to 10.45 or so but thats happened before.
I could see ITV sticking with the 1hr15m results show. They'd only need to find 5 minutes or so more content - the rest is extra provision of adverts... 17:20 - F1 19:05 - SCD 21:15 - Lottery 21:25 - Casualty UK TV Guide does not list Casualty at all on the Sunday. One is right and one is obviously wrong. (again!)* note - I can tell its updated because Holby is down twice in the week, and the F1 on that site was originally down for 17:15 to 19:15. |

I think we'll have to wait for a few hours for 'final confirmation' - there must have been a reason in the first place for moving Casualty to the Sunday.

UK TV Guide appears to have updated for that week and has quite a different schedule to what BBC Press Office has:
17:20 - F1 19:05 - SCD 21:15 - Lottery 21:25 - Casualty UK TV Guide does not list Casualty at all on the Sunday. One is right and one is obviously wrong. (again!)Maybe Casualty's being moved to Sunday as there is reportedly a contractual obligation regarding Match of the Day, that it must start by 10:30pm apart from special circumstances (Last night of the Proms etc). If Casualty were to stay on Saturday starting at 9.35pm, MOTD would probably have to start after 10:30pm which isn't allowed. Quote:
maybe next weeks will be a double eviction?
1hr 15mins would be a long results show otherwise |

Natasha Kaplinsky is pregnant again.
Got to give her credit for timing. Sign a £1m contract then use 2 fully paid 6 month maternity leaves. Maybe they should extend Live from Studio Five by half an hour and push everything back a bit - that's got to work. |

I think they've got 6 Life Stories episodes for the Autumn (not including the Cliff special) with another 6 airing from late December/January (a bit like what they did with Family Fortunes last year).
Interesting that ITV haven't announced the guest for Saturday's episode yet; I'd have thought they'd want to drum up a bit of publicity. The second guest of the series is: Boris Becker. http://www.itv.com/presscentre/press...a/default.html |

Don't think she'll be getting another million pound contract anytime soon. |

Really silly. The fixed 8pm start time is working well and people are getting used to it now. Why mess with a winning formula?
75 minutes is far too long for a results show. It's going to be padded beyond belief. The 75 minute duration is absurd though. |

I agree it's too long although I don't think time change is anything to worry about. It was 8pm last week and 7.30pm the week before.
The 75 minute duration is absurd though. I don't see why they can't carry this through for once instead of going back to their old chop and change ways. |
