So we have TXF marathon to face this weekend - Daily Express are claiming 20 million viewers - no chance!! 16-17million tops for the sunday reveal.
The special guests this weekend are appealing to older viewers Robbie williams is the youngest performer age 32? and should pull in the viewers - I still want to know how many adults 18 and over actually watch the show. I am guessing that 25% of the viewers are actually kids/teenagers who can't afford to go out. |

Option 1
- Older skewing drama repeats followed by documentaries, as suggested by PJMillar. Pros: It costs next to nothing. |

BBC Breakfast have just had an extended feature discussing tonight's X Factor final. So even the BBC are taking part in the "Cowell W***fest"

Maybe Jamelia is going to captain a team on a panel show? she seems to be carving out a little career in those now.
Sean Lock on 8 Out of 10 Cats... please! |

Not sure why?! The soap ratings are a little low for December, though the shares look okay. Mr Eleven did about how I expected, as it looked bad from the previews. Note to ITV: don't run brand new drama on Fridays. I'll let them off with this one beause it's just a two parter which they probably wanted to burn off, but recent history shows that new drama series on ITV just don't do well on Fridays. Good rating for Victorian Farm on BBC2. Thanks to MattJ for the ratings. |

Biggest shock out of that lot is Tonight! I'm guessing the Christmas themed investigation into cut price presents gave it a huge boost. I think it will do well in its new slot in the new year and I think a revamp and sandwiched between the 2 Emmerdales is very good idea where I think it will get 3.5m+ and it also gives ITV more opportunities for the Monday & Friday 8pm slots.
As expected for Mister Eleven. It was never going to do well on a Friday and there are many bizarre scheduling decisions over Christmas on ITV. For example Taggart's 100th on Christmas Eve, one Sunday with all repeats a poor film premiere, Bridget Jones film repeat in primetime. A lot of the programming seems pretty good, but I would just move some of the shows around a bit. This week (so far) has been one of ITV's worst in a while I think with 2 new shows underperforming and 2 other programmes below what they should be getting. It's lucky for ITV they have the big weekend which should bring in 5/6 excellent rating shows with 6m+. I can see now why Royal Variety is next Wednesday, because apart from that and the 2 soaps ITV have nothing next week which is going to rate highly. |

EastEnders looks a bit on the low side, but as already stated the share is about right. Shame though, as last night's episode was quite good.

Very good rating for Tonight... must be one of its highest ever! (apart from the Millionaire Tonight in '03 I think and probably a few others).
OK for the soaps, good for the Beeb in the 9pm slot. I don't actually think Mr Eleven's rating is too bad.. surprised it wasn't under 3m myself. And to continue with past days, I can say that last night, the 9pm slot had 21.97m million, which is really low like Wednesday and Thursday were - both also slightly above 22m. The week averaged 22.44 million viewers - the lowest rated week since w/e 12th September 2009. |

ITV need to start realising that young people do not watch their dramas, so if they insist on making them (which I believe they should) they are going to have to use programmes like X Factor to lead into them and promote them thoroughly throughout.
Mister Eleven, if promoted properly, could have got up to 8m viewers on Sunday night I think, with a high 16-34 rating. |

Tonight its basically a handover to ITV1 for the evening:
6.00pm Harry Hill's TV Burp 6.30pm Cheryl Cole's Night In 7.30pm The X Factor Final: Part 1 9.30pm The British Comedy Awards And the same for tomorrow: 6.45pm All Star Family Fortunes 7.30pm The X Factor Final: Part 2 9.30pm I Dreamed a Dream: The Susan Boyle Story Big big ratings on the cards for some of these I reckon, Cheryl Cole's Night In and The Susan Boyle Story will rate well methinks. Given the runtimes I predict averages of 13m and 15-16m for tonight and tomorrow, with peaks obviously higher. What about others? ITV messed up with Mister Eleven with a silly slot and bad promotion. It's basically throwing a show away if it's not marketed and scheduled correctly. Will make up for a p*sspoor weeknight performance this week! |

ITV could have moved IAC a week later, adding a night, avoiding Children in Need, then they could have gone for...
6.00 Cheryl Cole 7.00 X Factor Final 9.00 IAC Final 6.00 Susan Boyle 7.00 X Factor Final 9.00 Mr Eleven 10.00 Comedy Awards I'm not saying they should have done that, just that it was an option. |

Most things have been in the can for that long, given that ITV have spent most of 20009 saving money by filling the schedule with leftovers and spreading its new commissions out. As for the quality of it, that's subjective.

It's got potential to do well from what we've heard and seen from the upfronts videos. If they put it on a Sunday night with the first couple of episodes after Dancing on Ice, it'll do very well imo. After hearing about the Dancing on Ice preview show being on Friday, it's possible that the DOI spin-off will run at 9pm on Fridays instead of 8pm. After DOI ends, there's Marco's Kitchen Burnout. Then, from late summer it's the Paul O'Grady Show. It seems like ITV are going to turn Friday 9pm into an entertainment slot next year, which I think is the way to go. |

Just going to quote shows from a few different posts from earlier this year so we can see what dramas ITV still have on the shelf:
- Octavia - unaired - Whatever It Takes - aired; Summer 09 - Monday Monday - aired; Summer 09 - Sleep with Me - airing; Christmas 09 - Mr Eleven - airing; Christmas 09 - Collision - aired; Autumn 09 - Married, Single, Other - unaired - An Englishman in New York - airing; Christmas 09 - The Prisoner - unaired - Father & Son - unaired - U Be Dead - unaired - Wuthering Heights - aired; Summer 09 - Gurush - aired; Summer 09 - Single Handed - aired; Summer 09 - Albert's Memorial - unaired - Boy Meets Girl - aired; Summer 09 And for the 'regular' drama: - Poirot/Marple - some episodes airing; Christmas 09 - Heartbeat/The Royal - whole series of shelf? - Midsomer Murders - one/two episodes on shelf So the ones, that (I think) are still on the shelf, with no airdate in sight are: - Octavia - Married, Single, Other - The Prisoner - Father & Son - U Be Dead - Albert's Memorial Along with Heartbeat/The Royal and one or two Midsomer. Does anyone know about specific lengths with regards to the above? I know The Prisoner is 5 nights (I think), dunno about the others though... |

If we look at the trends for previous X Factor series, and compare the average for the 5 performance shows leading up to the final to the final performance show rating and see the boost, we get: 2005- 8.5m---> 9.2m [+9%] 2006- 8.7m---> 10.4m [+20%] 2007- 8.9m---> 11.4m [+28%] 2008- 10.6m---> 13.2m [+25%] The 2005 final had a 70 minute clash with Strictly, hence the low boost. Also the 2006 final had a 45 minute clash against Strictly which depressed its boost. This series, the 5 performance shows leading up to the final have averaged 12.3m. There's a 30 minute clash against Strictly tonight and an earlier start, so I don't think it'll be boosted as much as 2007 or 2008. But a 15-20% rise should be possible, which would give it a rating around 14.5m. Quote:

- Octavia: 1x90 - Married, Single, Other: 6x60 - The Prisoner: 6x60 or 3x120 - Father & Son: 4x60 - U Be Dead: 1x120 - Albert's Memorial: 1x120 |
