Christmas Day has been on a Saturday before... so yes.
I think the BBC will be happy if it gets 5m+ given the lack of promotion it was on tonight. What was it up against on ITV? Ant and Dec? |

No I am concerned for it. Has it ever been on a Saturday before?

I don't think it matters what it's boxing day how will people know it is on Andy? I'm hoping it gets higher than 3.9m I suppose it might pick up any viewers who notice it in their tv guides but I can't see many looking out for it especially as it's not a normal EE day.
I hope it does OK at least because the media always stick the knife into EE over ratings at the best of times and that can be even when it's doing OK. When it's done badly they love it even more. |

It's not a normal Saturday. Surely the 3.9m prediction is a joke?

No I just remember it getting 3.9m once but can't remember why so it has dropped that low before. I can't find the figure now but I'm sure I'm not making this up.

Sorry I'm confusing myself. I mean isn't your prediction a joke? Because even if it is down on last night it's not going to lose more than half. Boxing Day is not a normal Saturday.

Predictions:
BBC One 16:40 - Wallace and Gromit: 6m (34%) 18:00 - Total Wipeout: 3.8m (19%) 19:00 - EastEnders: 8.3m (35%) 19:30 - Pirates of the Caribbean 3: 7m (31%) 22:05 - Lottery Draws: 4.6m (21%) 22:15 - BBC News: 6.1m (28%) 22:25 - Match of the Day: 3.8m (31%) BBC Two 17:05 - Hamlet: 3.3m (16%) ITV1 18:15 - ITV News: 3.8m (19%) 18:30 - Harry Hill's TV Burp Review of the Year: 6m (29%) 19:00 - You've Been Framed at Christmas!: 4.7m (20%) 19:30 - Ant and Dec's Christmas Show: 6.1m (27%) 20:45 - All Star Family Fortunes: 5.4m (24%) 21:30 - All Star Impressions Show: 2.8m (13%) The All Star Impressions Show quite frankly is a pile of tosh... I hope it flops. |

Hopefully Sky Sports 2 did well this afternoon. The thrashing Saints delivered to Warriors should have been a huge draw.
![]() I had to suffer BBC Hereford & Worcester's coverage. |

I reckon there is a chance POTC 3 could nearly beat Eastenders tonight. The big premiere should get about 7 million and Im not sure how many people will know EE is on and its on early.

3-4m for EastEnders tonight. It's not normally on Saturdays and viewers won't know about it. I'm hoping it's more in the 4m range because if it's under 3.9m that will be a new low for the show.

Predictions:
BBC Two 17:05 - Hamlet: 3.3m (16%) "How will people know Eastenders is on tonight?" Er, newspapers, the internet, the Christmas Radio Times (always a big seller), the announcer at the end of last night's Eastenders. What exactly will people who don't look up what's on tonight expect to be on tonight? The X Factor? It's Boxing Day. It's not a normal Saturday. If people want to watch TV tonight, they'll have to look up what's on. Seriously? 3 million for 3 hours of Shakespeare? Just because David Tennant is on it? Never. I predicted 1.1m in the DS RPG and I'm thinking that's over-confident. I saw a few bits whilst channel-hopping. Very arty-farty, even by Shakespeare standard. |

I think you underestimate the draw of David Tennant. A lot of who fans will be tuning in. I reckon it will clear 2 million.

I really don't know which is the most hiliarious prediction.

Very arty-farty, even by Shakespeare standard. all he said was A one off Royle family next Then a trip to Barry island with Gavin and stacey and later at 1030 Catherine Tate(or something along those lines) I reckon EastEnders will be somewhere between 7.9-8.3m |

People will already be tuned to BBC1 so it will just come on, they haven't turned it off or over since 2pm yesterday. Many viewers haven't left the sofa since 2pm yesterday either!

If i was the BBC i drop SCD on xmas day and Split EastEnders like they used to 630pm and 9pm(If the BBC let them) have Dr who and my family in the middle
3.10 Over the Hedge 4.30 Flushed Away 5.50 News 6.00 The Gruffalo 6.30 EE 7.00 Dr Who 8.00 SCD Special 9.00 EE 9.30 The Royle Family 10.30 Catherine Tate Special 11.20 News etc ...but because ITV decided to run Emmerdale at 6 and Corrie at 7, come what may, the Beeb had no option but to reschedule to avoid soap clashes etc. Had BBC1 been able to run with the above, with Emm Fm at 7 and Corrie at 8, I think all of BBC1's shows prior to 9.30 would have rated better - but not G&S on whatever day it would have aired, Christmas Eve presumably. Quote:
But BBC1 ratings do not include BBCHD. Apparently this was the BBC's decision - surely they should revise this?
Or is the problem that BBC HD is not a simulcast whereas Sky HD channels are simulcast (or usually are but occasionally not - eg HD version of CL football on SSX is on SSHD3). As yesterday's ratings show, the BBC are missing a trick by not having the HD service a red button option - but perhaps it would cause too much of a scheduling headache to have to dovetail HD programming across all 4 of their channels, particularly as more shows are made in HD.

Xmas day isn't a normal day is it?
I think the BBC will be happy if it gets 5m+ given the lack of promotion it was on tonight. What was it up against on ITV? Ant and Dec? TV Burp also conveniently over-ran the 7pm junction by a good couple of minutes; EE seemed to start well before 7 as POTC was on air by 7.28pm. So that will have also dented ratings. I can see 6-7m for EE tonight. The promotion of BBC1's Christmas line-up has been even more shocking this year than normal. |

yes I did a timer on EE in the TV Burp ad break, just in case, didnt need it in the end, switched over to see the EE logo come up on the title sequence, but it was cutting it very fine.

Completely agree, it was historically awful. Utter car crash TV, but I couldn't bring myself to turn it off. It's generated a lot of discussion on here, though, so I reckon it's done quite well.
That said, All Star Impressions will benefit from many TVs being on ITV1 all night by default given BBC1's cop-out - can see it having got 5m+ and being deemed a success. Hope so, they might commission a whole series...

The promotion of BBC1's Christmas line-up has been even more shocking this year than normal. I was pleased to see several trailers for The Day of the Triffids today (though running them yesterday after Doctor Who might've been a good idea). The adaptation looks promising too with a good cast and what looks like a lavish production. The next few days between Christmas and New Year look relatively strong to be honest - I remember last years being pretty variable in ratings terms. With Cranford, Triffids and Turn of the Screw, BBC One has four very promising nights of drama lined up. I've also go my fingers crossed that Outnumbered does OK in its awkward slot tomorrow.
