The BBC BSI strikes again. Small Island appears to have been superseded in the Sunday 9pm slot by Garrow's Law.

Looks as if the DOI new Friday night show will be going out at 8pm in Tonight's slot opposite Eastenders as I thought. That'll be an interesting clash for this thread.
This report makes it sound as if Tonight is going to get a brand new slot, but I would have thought it would continue to go out on Monday at 8pm. Anyone got any other thoughts on where it might go? |

Perhaps Tonight is moving to an hourly format some time in the week?
I wonder if 2010 will bring about more primetime schedule changes on ITV1. What's all this about a Friday DOI?

If it remains as two 30 min episodes, I'd keep the Monday episode but move the Friday one to Tuesday 7.30pm where they're having a lot of problems at the moment. |

Broadcast seems to say that the episodes will remain at 30 minutes in length. Quote:
Currently, more than 70 editions of Tonight are produced a year, all made by ITVS. In 2010, there will be at least 50 episodes of Tonight, but only 37 will be made in-house. ITN will make 10 programmes, while around three of the 30-minute programmes will be opened up to the indie sector and ITV’s regional news bureaus.
ITV are cutting the number they're making i.e. from next year it will only be going out once a week rather than twice. So I can't really see it moving from its current Monday slot.

I can see Life Stories managing 5m that night. To boost it further, I think it'd be a good idea to have 'Dannii vs Sharon - the truth' (or something like that) ads running throughout X Factor, which would probably give the ratings a nice little boost.
EDIT: BBC1's schedule has shifted 25 minutes earlier in the final update, so the new schedule is: 18:05 Merlin 18:50 Strictly Come Dancing 20:45 Lottery 20:55 Casualty Quote:
Also Spooks is back on Wednesday 4th November at 9pm for a new 8 part run.
Also its nice to see SKY1 investing peoples subscriptions in quality programming http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/a1829...d-britain.html |

I think the BBC agree with you that Dannii's life story will do well hence why they've moved the schedue forward so that X Factor viewers don't automatically stay with Piers andnow come across for the news rather than half way through Casualty as was originally planned.
So it will finish on the 23rd December, probably one of the reasons it is on Wednesday rather than Thursday which would have seen it finish on XMas eve. Wednesday nights have suddenly gone from having nothing on worth watching to having Spooks and Andrew Marr's making of modern Britain both on. Also interesting is that it looks like the Restaurant is only going to be on for 6 episodes this year once a week rather than 15 episodes with 2 episodes a week. Also its nice to see SKY1 investing peoples subscriptions in quality programming http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/a1829...d-britain.html |

Stuart Murphy is a bit annoying. He seems to thrive on commissioning crap and scheduling it in the most stupid and confusing way possible. He was everything that was wrong with BBC3 and I have no idea why Sky1 ever gave him a job. Quote:
The first instalment is scheduled to air Monday, November 2 at 9pm on Sky1. Episode two will air straight after at 9.30pm, with the final part arriving the following week.
I mean, what kind of wacko scheduling is that? Why even commission a 3 episode documentary series on this? It's just bizarre.

Some ofStuart Murphys commissioning is appalling, Just Dance is going to get squashed by SYTYCD and apart from popular American programming which any other station would buy if SKY wasn't around, the channel adds no value to British Television. |

Some of the Sky1 commissioning are really odd, first the Michael Jackson Seance and now this documentary on Naked people which has been done numerous times. Thank goodness that they have the US shows and a very good upcoming slate of homegrown drama.
Wednesdays are going to become good again with Spooks on BBC One, Andrew Marr on BBC Two and I think Paul Merton in Europe on Five will air in November on Wednesdays as well. |

Ant and Dec's new show to be aired in Q1 next year: Ant and Dec's “Push the Button” [Working Title] Quote:
The fantastic duo return to host a brand new show on ITV1. This is no ordinary game show expect plenty of twists and surprises. Each show features two families of five - neither will know they are on the show until either Ant or Dec arrives on their doorstep. There are 6 x 75 minute episodes. On the night of the show both families begin with £100k price fund each. The contestants play five big, fun games each designed to reduce their grand total. Each game is played against the clock. Seconds cost cash as the time ticks away. The first family to complete the challenge must aim to conserve their winnings by 'pushing the button' to stop the clock. At the end of the show whichever family has the highest total left remains – they then go on to play the jackpot game. The pressure will be on to nominate the strongest family members to complete the task …who can keep their nerve under pressure? Interspersed throughout the show will be comedy sketches, musical performances and celebrity appearances. Also The Bill has at least 34 episodes next year, which should take them up to about August/September. Difficult to see ITV ordering more episodes if ratings stay at the current level. |

Sounds good to me. Sounds like they took their time to make sure they had a really good format.

18:50 Strictly Come Dancing 20:45 Lottery 20:55 Casualty The retreat has begun, as Brucie waves the white flag and reverses his tank off the lawn. ![]() XF will be starting just as the SCD filler begins, but it gives them a longer period of time in which to reach it's peak. I take it we won't be seeing Who Dares Wins this side of Christmas ? Interesting about the new Ant & Dec show. Presumably this is the Sunday show they were reportedly working on ? It says it will go out Q1, but I can't see it starting until after DoI. ITV do seem to be going heavy on light entertainment for 2010. Both Mr & Mrs and Take Me Out start recording in November (Take Me Out in Manchester). If there is to be a DoI Friday show, it seems unlikely that they will move the show to a Saturday / Sunday results split. |

Article about how the Tonight show is facing cuts and may be brought closer to ITN. It says that each episode will be made for less than £30,000. Weren't people on here saying earlier that Millionaire costs about £200,000 an episode or something? Given the fact that Tonight gets 3.5 million on a Friday (or it did last time I saw the figures) ITV will be making a fair bit of cash on what is normally a genre considered to be loss-making. Quote:
ITV1 19:00- Emmerdale: 6.82m (33.3%) 20:00- Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?: 3.28m (14.2%) 21:00- Seven Days On The Breadline: 3.72m (16.4%) Millionaire continues to underperform at 8pm in my opinion. Quote:

Or ITV could also choose to take it off air and bring in back in blocks of episodes. I could see it going off air in May in time for Britain's Got Talent and the World Cup, with the remaining three months or so worth of episodes held back until the autumn.Personally I'd have moved it to Friday by now, but looks like Paul O'Grady is set for that slot. |

They used to have quite a lot on Sunday night before they went drama crazy with the soaps and Heartbeat (Catchphrase, Child's Play, Surprise Surprise, Live From Her Majesty's) so the current line-up of Family Fortunes and X Factor harks back to a bygone era. (X Factor probably making the same sort of impact now as Sunday Night At The London Palladium made in the 50s and 60s - although X Factor's ratings are shit in comparison. ) As for Saturday nights... For as long as there has been television, owning a brain on a Saturday whilst watching ITV, or even BBC1, has been positively dangerous.Ant & Dec's new show will probably go out on Saturdays replacing Pop Star To Opera Star from Mid-February - like last year when Takeaway replaced Demons and was then replaced by Primeval. That's why they need so much light entertainment - now they've given up on pre-watershed drama (or they had done until the Primeval producers made them an offer they couldn't refuse) Saturday nights will be nothing but light entertainment. Quote:
Scrap that, they've scheduled something called The Impression Show with Culshaw and Stephenson from 21:45 to 22:15. Also worth noting that Thursday 5th November @ 21:00 on BBC One sees the New Tricks 'repeat' series continuing. Not sure if they are going to have New Tricks repeat's on Thursdays all the way until Xmas.

No, it hasn't. That's only 10 minutes earlier than this Saturday and allows them to fit in The Impression Show before MOTD which, as has been pointed out time and time time again(

Normally when NT repeats replace a new series they only run for 3 or 4 weeks and then get replaced with something new. Clearly BBC1 have deicded that as the repeats are easily beating The Bill they might as well show the whole of last year's series in one go (very nearly. There was a 2 week break for Secret Life Of Twins and Criminal Justice). the repeats would finish on Nov 12th. They will probably be replaced by Paradox which is only 5 parts. That would finish on 17th December, just in time for Christmas. |

Millionaire continues to underperform at 8pm in my opinion. |

Ratings for Around The World were about what I expected taking into account its week 1 audience and the not-very-enthuiastic reaction.
Quote:
Breadline did a bit better than I expected. remains to be seen whether it holds that audience for the next 2 weeks.
Not quite as well as the recent BBC1 show it blatantly ripped off did though... Quote:
And yes, ITV1 could have had a whole week of 9pm victories but for The Bill, but maybe it'll surprise (shock? Well, the Tuesday 9pm outcome won't officially be known until two weeks today when the figures are released by BARB - with a margin of 0.12m in the overnights, I wouldn't bet against ATW winning the slot. ) us.

EDIT: BBC1's schedule has shifted 25 minutes earlier in the final update, so the new schedule is:
18:05 Merlin 18:50 Strictly Come Dancing 20:45 Lottery 20:55 Casualty Meaning that the Strictly/X Factor clash is now down to just 45 minutes, with X Factor having an hour afterwards against the lottery and Casualty, so it could be on for its biggest Saturday rating of the series. The clashes do seem to be getting shorter, and on 7th November, BBC1 have The Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance, so the clash will be minimal that night, boosting ratings for The X Factor. BBC1 might hold up better against TXF with FoR than Casualty, in the same way that Antiques Roadshow or Countryfile get bigger numbers on Sunday despite TXF's larger audience. Quote:
