Midsomer Murders probably had a few extra viewers after the media reported that it featured the debut of Neil Dudgeon as DCI Barnarby (John Nettles' characters cousin) who will take over the lead role when Nettles films his last episode this Summer.

(Great line in the script: Are you all called Barnarby in the police force?')

Clever move by the makers and Dudgeon looks a good choice.

Is that enough for us not to be rescheduled by the DSSI?

* CSI last Thursday had 3.2
* CSI: Miami on Monday had 3.9

FOX:
8pm – Human Target – 8.9m (2.5)
* Up 0.1 from last week
9pm – American Idol – 25.0m (9.5)
* Up 22% from last week
* Down 5% from same show last year
* #1 show for the night in viewers & A18-49

Tvbythenumbers

NBC showed Mercy which had just 6.3m and a 1.6 rating and 2 L&O: SVU repeats from 9pm.

Pretty decent for American Idol and more great ratings for Modern Family. The Middle is shaping up to be a real hit as well. Not so great for Cougar Town, though.

Amazing to see that CSI: Vegas is the lowest rated in the franchise. CSI: NY seems to have stayed far more stable than the other 2 in recent years.

Broadcast has posted some demographic breakdowns for Hustle and Law & Order for their 1/2/10 episodes:

Hustle-
Total: 5.1m (20%)
ABC1s: 2.6m (23%)
16-34s: 1.0m (19%)

Law & Order: UK-
Total: 5.1m (20%)
ABC1s: 2.1m (18%)
16-34s: 0.4m (8%)

Hustle's audience would be more lucrative for ITV1. I thought more 16-34s would be watching Law & Order: UK - not a huge number but 0.4m seems quite low! Makes you realise that although The Bill is doing pretty poorly overall, its 16-34 audience of about 0.8m is quite good (and similar to hit shows like Hustle).

And a little bit about the News at Tens:
With overall audiences neck and neck at 9pm, News At Ten and BBC1’s Ten O’clock News entered the fray as equals. ITV1’s hour finishes slightly earlier to accommodate the ad break, so by 10pm had dropped to 4.3 million. But that is still competitive with BBC1’s 5 million. By 10.05pm, News at Ten had dropped 1.4 million to 2.9 million, while BBC1 held on to all but 400,000 to settle at 4.6 million.

Hustle does do quite well with the younger audiences and thats one of the reasons I'm sure its safe for the time being from the BBC's returning drama cuts. I'm surprised Law and Order is so far behind in that area though. I expected the difference to be more like it is in the ABC1 demo.

New thread! Good to have all the BARB data up! Thanks, Mike!

Even if some of BBC One's Saturday shows time-shifted by -5m.

You can see why Law & Order will always be on Monday's then, seeing as it and Coronation Street don't have a mass 16-34 following.

In terms of raw numbers, Corrie does have a good 16-34 following of about 1.4m. There's not many other shows who have more than that - probably just the talent shows, EastEnders, Doctor Who and a couple of other programmes.

But yeah, Law & Order: UK fits in well on Monday nights like the other thrillers for ITV, though I think it'd hold up alright on Fridays as well (provided its not up against another drama, ie. Silent Witness).

Whoa. It's Mitch 123!

Don't think you quite realised what you started, eh?!

Whats particularly impressive about this thread is that we (mostly*) carry on debating ratings and ratings-related subjects. Most long-running threads tend to veer off into "what I've been doing today" after a while.

* apart from when we spend entire posts complementing our thread, obviously.

Glad Hustle is doing well.. and for one episode to get over 7m viewers in the officials is really good

'With thanks to Mitch for starting it off.'

Hmm... just seen on the DS RPG that its not only the BSI that have come out in full force on Saturday 20th February:

BBC1
17:30 - Total Wipeout
18:30 - Let's Dance for Sport Relief
19:45 - Lottery
20:35 - Casualty
21:25 - The Weakest Link
22:20 - BBC News
22:30 - Match of the Day

ITV1
17:45 - All Star Family Fortunes
18:30 - You've Been Framed!
19:00 - Harry Hill's TV Burp
19:30 - Take Me Out
20:45 - All Star Mr and Mrs
21:45 - FILM: You, Me and Dupree (P1)
22:45 - ITV News
23:00 - FILM: You, Me and Dupree (P2)

Why is All Star Family Fortunes there? It should be on later, preferably after YBF! so that ITV isn't in 'time' with BBC1 as such at the 18:30 junction.

Also... Take Me Out, 1 hour 15 minutes? I know its been a relative success, but this seems slightly random.

It's obvious that NCIS and Midsomer share an audience because NCIS always goes down when it is on, last week it did 2.1m and I suspect it will be back upa to 2m+ next week.

I think Five moved NCIS and Numb3rs to Wednesdays to stabilise the night because it was getting under 1m some weeks, it's doing fineand I imagine it won't be against Midsomer for a little while.

Will be interesting how the CSI trilogy does.

It's the last of the series so the extra 15 minutes may be to find out how the couples picked on the last show got on on their date.

Also, go on then.... I'll add my thanks to Mitch for starting this, my favourite thread.

Personally I think FIVE have made a huge mess up of the NCIS situation. It was steadily increasing last year where it ended up over 2.5m many weeks. Now it is going to be hard to keep increasing when it's up against stuff like Midsomer. Also Numb3rs is heavily down on last series where it reguarly was 1m+.

The Mentalist starts next Friday which will be interesting-personally I'd have started this next Monday and kept the film repeats on Friday. Even though The Mentalist may face some drama competition on Mondays, FlashForward was managing 2m+ reguarly up against ITV's big thrillers.


ITV1
17:45 - All Star Family Fortunes
18:30 - You've Been Framed!
19:00 - Harry Hill's TV Burp
19:30 - Take Me Out
20:45 - All Star Mr and Mrs
21:45 - FILM: You, Me and Dupree (P1)
22:45 - ITV News
23:00 - FILM: You, Me and Dupree (P2)

Also... Take Me Out, 1 hour 15 minutes? I know its been a relative success, but this seems slightly random.
Surely ASFF must be a repeat? Or was there one episode left over from the previous series? It must be a repeat surely, because ITV know it's capable to pull in 6m at the heart of primetime.

I'm guessing the extension of TMO was always planned, because it's the last episode. Though I must say ITV's schedule may get hit slightly that week with Let's Dance a stronger brand than SYTYCD. Though that too may get hit by Harry Hill.

Also when are ITV going to ditch these stupid film repeats pulling in ~2m. Something like this Saturday (a repeat of Benidorm) would work much better and ITV have enough entertainment repeats which will pull in 3m+ on a weekly basis.
