He appeared to be on Studio 5 according to a few of the tweets. Surprised anyone knew he was actually on the show, it gets so few viewers!

Pretty much, I'm kinda soft I guess, but I admire how it raises lots of money for charity and it's kind of entertaining, I mean Newsnight( My guilty pleasure
) and Chris Moyles were only competition tonight. Should do OK, even if it doesn't at least it's for a good cause 
The Bill seemed to suffer at the hands of the football. BBC1 did pretty well. ITV1 need to switch Emmerdale and Coronation Street around in the 8pm hour, as Coronation Street seems to be really suffering away from a BBC1 junction. The football did excellently for Five.

Liverpool are ratings gold for Five and they have done well in the last three matches they have had with them in it, I bet Five are praying that they reach the final because it will easily do 4-5m.
The Bill seems to suffer at any "above average" competition, ITV must be thanking its lucky stars, that BBC have not aired Ashes to Ashes on Thursday, but have gone for Mastchef / HIGNFY in the 9pm hour.
In fairness ITV at the moment only seem to do well with Soaps and RTV, All their 8 and 9 pm shows are flatlining...... Even at The weekend BBC1 win with their Lottery, and Casualty showsIn It to win It and Who DAres Wins are doing great!! And the Later is a GREAT show, no wonder it's beating a modern poor day take off of Generation Game , though this week it will probably win its slot against the rugby

One side of me thinks that it could go on Sunday, not sure if it'd work though.
I mean on Saturday 22nd May, it'd have to move because of Champions League and on Saturday 23rd it'd have to move because of Eurovision.
I don't think it'd harm it at all having a consistent slot on Sunday's. Maybe:
18:00 - Heartbeat/The Royal
19:00 - Britain's Got Talent
20:00 to 22:00 - A Touch of Frost/Lewis/Foyle's War
Or:
19:00 - Heartbeat/The Royal
20:00 - Britain's Got Talent
21:00 to 23:00 - A Touch of Frost/Lewis/Foyle's War
They need to get these episodes of Heartbeat and The Royal out the can soon, and I can't think of a better slot than putting it directly before Britain's Got Talent. A lot better than 'dumping' it in the middle of Summer, at least here it has a chance of getting 5/6m and going out with respectable figures.
And then at 8pm, Britain's Got Talent would boost the 9pm shows a lot, whereas in the current Sunday line-ups they would probably struggle. After all The X Factor and Doc Martin combination worked wonders, I don't see why Britain's Got Talent and a drama combination wouldn't do the same.
If you leave Britain's Got Talent on Saturday you're boosting... what? Mr and Mrs? In my view, dramas at the moment - in particular on ITV1 need all the boost they need and I think putting BGT on Sunday would help them a lot.
OK, as C14E mentions I think BGT will almost certainly be down on last year, I cannot see it getting 19 million peak in the final this year, I really don't. On a Sunday for the auditions, you'd still be looking at ~9/10m for BGT with ~6/7m maybe for the drama following it.

I think having the BGT auditions on a Sunday would be a wise move for ITV. More people watch TV on a Sunday, just look at the boost that the Sunday episodes of XF achieved. Saturday nights are more or less succesful with most shows getting 5-7m viewers, Sundays have been quite weak since the soaps left and BGT would be the main staple of the Sunday night schedule, in the same way the DOI is at the minute.
Will ITV consider moving BGT to a Sunday though? I can't see any reason why not to.

They didn't move BGT away from Eurovision last year and there's even less reason to move it this year with the mostly negative reaction our Eurovision entry has received.

Even so, Eurovision is still a draw and would still get 6/7m, which would still probably dent BGT.
The Champions League means that BGT would have to move somewhere anyway for a week.

Hmm, I don't really like the idea of moving BGT auditions permenantly to Sunday, as it would severely weaken the Saturday schedule. A line up of The Whole 19 Yards, Millionaire and Funniest Things won't do very well and being surrounded by those two would strangle 19 Yards at birth. They need to keep BGT on Saturdays, at 8pm, with 19 Yards before it at 7pm. Moving it to Sunday would also clog up the schedule as they've already got Heartbeat, the 2 hour dramas and the travel shows, as there's no way all the travel shows can or should air on Tuesday. Something like this would work better for Sunday:
7:00pm Heartbeat
8:00pm Survival with Ray Mears
9:00pm Foyle's War
I don't see any point in putting a far younger skewing show in the middle of all that, and not using it to boost another potential young skewing show (19 Yards).
As for the Champions League Final and Eurovision, ITV have never moved BGT for Eurovision before and I see no reason to do it this year, either. As for the Champions League Final, then I think moving BGT to Sunday is the only option, really, as starting it at 6:15pm, probably against Doctor Who would be dreadful. 19 Yards will also have to move to Sunday or that would be in the same position.
However, on the weekend of 29th/30th May (Eurovision weekend), it is the last BGT auditions show, with the live shows starting on Monday 31st May. Normally, the final auditions and the top 40 selection are squeezed into one show and the selection is never really done properly, but what I think may be a good idea is to show the final auditions on Saturday, and the selection on Sunday, with the live shows beginning on Monday. An hour long show would be enough for the selection, and would do it justice. I'd probably put it in a 9pm slot, as by my reckoning, it's the week after Lewis ends, so I don't think they'll have anything there anyway. Also, it's not a school/work night so the later slot won't be an issue for families, and it's the slot it'll most likely be in for the rest of the week.

True. That sort of agressive scheduling ends up dragging down the average for both shows, the BGT episode up against eurovision last year was the lowest rated for the entire series, the same thing happened in 2008.
It's not fair for the audience that wants to watch both shows.

they dont. they only want to watch the eurovision results
According to the STV website, the second episode of 'The Door' will be on Saturday 3rd April - the day after the first episode.
Still no word on what's taking the post-BGT slot, I'm assuming the Whole 19 Yards will air before BGT. With such a good lead-in, ITV ought to put an original programme there but I bet they'll put old films there like last year, in effect wasting the lead in.
Edit: Just read that '71 Degrees North' is airing for 8 weeks in the Spring. That might take the post-BGT slot.

Don't expect Coronation Street in the 21:30 slot in the World Cup, that slot goes to James Corden: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...-Cup-show.html

So part 1 on against Ashes To Ashes and part 2 on against Doctor Who?
Head of ITV: "Oh eff it, just stick it on ITV2 against the final of Britain's Got Talent."

Yeah, you're quite right there
He is actually quite funny...and I don't think there's anything wrong with his energy.
His new sports quiz is good too

Sport Relief did very well, denting ITV1 quite badly. Would be interesting to see who 'won' the individual half hour battles from 19:00 to 22:00.
The spin off on BBC Two also did very well, beating the news on BBC One. Ouch, in particular at ITV1 and Channel 4 @ 9pm! Luckily ITV1 never went as low as last year when it was Moving Wallpaper and Al Murray facing that sort of figure!

Great for Sport Relief. Best ever, in fact. Clearly they're doing something right - even if a lot of people don't like it.
Naturally hit the soaps on ITV, especially the 8.30 Corrie.
A very bad night for dear old Corrie then, 6.64 m must be its lowest audience figure for years. It just shows that viewers when faced with a better alternative will desert it now. Perhaps the second Friday episode is a mistake.
