Yep, and even the BBC is dabbling with them. I haven't seen it but the presenter on BBC Radio Northampton this morning said Material Girl fits this category very well!

BBC ratings include HD if show was shown in HD, and if show got in BBC HD's top 10. Only one programme with the 'same' name.

Material girls is just bad, no redeeming qualities whatsoever

Most watched episode since February 2001]

That's a great E4 rating for Shameless, particularly at 11pm.

Some massive timeshifts there and every episode of EE and CS over 11m that week. Silent Witness the big winner going from 7.3m to 8.56m for the first episode and from 6.7m to 7.8m for the second.

Casualty with nearly +1m for the second week running.

Above Suspicion also well up and Hustle finishing with 6.82m against it.

But are these timeshifts in line with what happened at this time last year?

Am I right in saying that the timeshifts now include VM VOD?

K

I'm glad to be back, got my wrist slapped so to speak!

Sad ratings for Amanda Holden once again, will anything ever work on a Tuesday evening for ITV 1?

Uh?

This must be their version of the BBC1 Monday night syndrome from the pre Eastenders days when BBC1, seeing huge opposition from the Krypton Factor, Coronation St, the sitcom, World in Action and a top drama at 9pm, waved the white flag. Maybe ITV1 have decided to do the same.

I had that feeling when I read the story earlier today.

CORRECTION The beeb has changed this on the website to thursday 25th, in the last few hours.Dunno whats airing on the Monday now

A New Tricks repeat. Typical!

LMAO,I was expecting traffic cops.8 weeks into the year and the beeb haven't scheduled an 60 minute episode of traffic cops yet.It must be a record

the uktv guide just updated the schedules for that week and they have confirmed that EastEnders will have an episode on Wednesday 24th February because of the rugby match on the Friday: http://uk-tv-guide.com/programme-det...stEnders/Soap/

Looking at the officials some things to note:

*It's the first time Corrie's been the number one show of the week since August last year.
*DOI launch show was a lot higher than last year (8.83 V 9.64)
*WAH's first show (8.55m) rated higher than every single other episode that aired last year, even though since then the series appears to have been down.
*Also, surprisingly Casualty is up on the equivalent episode from last year (7.14 V 7.24)

There was an episode of Traffic Cops on 5/1/10!

Weakest Link on Saturday night at 9.25pm on the 20th?

Maybe it's Strip Weakest Link.

The BSI strikes again. Why are the they airing 'Total Wipeout' from 5:30pm when they could easily shift it back to 6:15pm and have 'The Weakest Link' on earlier?!

Thanks for that
Masterchef is scheduled

wednesday 8-9pm
Thursday 8-9pm
Friday 7.25-7.55pm
[6 nations starts at 7.55]


Knowing the BSI, i wouldnt be surprised if the week after its scheduled on wednesday 7.30-10.00

Looks like TW is another repeat, although I thought we were going to get episode two of the new series that night.

Weakest Link is an EastEnders special

Probably no stripping.

oops.I knew they couldnt resist


Oh dear god the weakest link is scheduled for 9.25

That really is a bizarre slot for The Weakest Link. I can't recall it ever going out that late. It won't feel right.

wow my digiguide just update, and I plan to watch Aliens in a couple of week on Film Four, it lost 20 minutes in the updates, will they be showing it ad free?

that Wednesday EE slot now confirmed, that is a novelty, I will enjoy that.

AM or PM, because if it's AM then shame on the BBC for competing head on with Channel 4. Unless it's to attract game show viewers to that slot then good on BBC.

If it's PM - WTF are they thinking! Put it on Cbeebies at that time to send the Kids to sleep.
