I expect massive ratings if they've done a special ident, last programme to get a BBC1 ident was Doctor Who....
So Albert Square is not, er, a square then?

Yeah and that did fantastically well. Most watched show of 2010 so far, well if you count HD viewers. Otherwise that honour goes to EastEnders.

Re Holly on DOI. The show is still pulling big numbers obviously (if a bit down) but its not making the press like it did a couple of years ago and no amount of Phillip S shouting or Twittering is going to change that. There is nothing for it-Holly will have to go topless!
Ths Sun will then feature her on Page 3 and, as it does with all its models, give her something deep and meaningful to say on post Maarstricht Europe or climate change. |

I don't know how she managed not to go topless.

Ridiculous to include a pop video as one of the top TV "programmes" of the week/year. It was NOT a programme.
I imagine ITV might start slotting pop videos in the schedule more often if BARB are going to start counting them as "programmes". Why not start publishing the ratings for a commercial break counting it as a "programme"? FFS! ![]() |

ITV's desperation to wring every bit of sweat out of Dancing On Ice yet again hurt their Sunday night schedule IMO. Wild at Heart is on too late for family viewing IMO, while Piers Morgan's finishing time was, quite frankly, awful. Dancing on Ice is not helped by such a stretched out air time, though it did seem to go quicker last night than last week.
BBC1 did well (though going by Robbie's exceptionally high standards it flopped badly ), and Five kept above 1m throughout the night. Channel 4 limped along somewhat, and were the definite losers in the battle of the major channels.A big winner, though, was Got to Dance which achieved terrific figures for what appears to be a highly rated series. I wonder whether they'll try a quick turn around and have an autumn series - as long as they finish it before The X Factor it could do well for them before Christmas. |

With regard to repeats of soaps, I know the BBC release figures for the repeat of EE, which adds 400,000 to its ratings, and Fiver quotes its repeat audiences for Neighbours and Home and Away, but does anyone know how many people watch the re runs and omnibuses of Coronation St and Emmerdale as these must surely have some impact?

The BBC3 showing of EE rarely ever drops below 500k and is usually in the 600-900k range. Corrie gets something like 150-200k but does suffer from the fact it doesn't have a consistent timeslot on ITV2.
No criticism there by the way, just brilliant scheduling by the BBC. |

)BBC1 did exceptionally well - even if ITV put out a low rating schedule all night (something with Amanda Holden in it, a bit of football, a special of The Bill), I doubt those BBC1 numbers would go up by much. And it's a good varied schedule by BBC1, with a range of stimulating and interesting programming - particularly when compared with the diet of mushed cabbage ITV1 is serving up for those preferring programmes suiting a softer palate. |

Will be interesting to see what happens to it's ratings tonight considering it was held back until after the Winter Olympics. I think it'll show how important the strong timeslot is for it.

Doesn't EE/EE related content usually always rate well on BBC3 though? IIRC the repeat has been shunted back before and has still done OK as far as m/c numbers go. Also the BBC3 specials always tend to rate quite well some as high as 800k. So the BBC3 rpt does seem to have its own consistent following. It's something that's grew and grew over the last 10 years though. Corrie on ITV2 may also have benefitted in a similar way had it stuck to the same slot. It can't be hard to give it a consistent timeslot can it, what about 10:30pm after EE?
EastEnders' first showing and repeat combined often win the night. ITV are trying to force people away from the repeat and onto first showing. For the BBC, that is not an issue. |

Yes, but it was lower than ITV1 - ITV1 apparently tanked, so goodness knows what BBC1 did.
![]() Its ratings are down a few hundred thousand - and by GeorgeS's measure, as applied to SCD, that means it's "tanking". |

No, "tanking" is what Tanking on Ice is doing this season.

Um, moving on... ![]() Meh, Dancing on Ice is doing ok, just as Strictly Come Dancing did before Christmas (yes, Strictly got slightly higher ratings IIRC, but then it always has). I think both shows would benefit by stricter scheduling than being spread over the schedule like butter over bread. |

last nights show was only 10 minutes longer than the same episode last year and this year they have an extra contestant.So its not stretched out.The only real difference this year is that its lost 900k viewers year on year

Coronation Street at 10.30pm, with Emmerdale after it would be much better than the films they put out all the time. But then...ITV don't want good repeat figures do they? They're reliant on good first showing figures and the advertising money that goes with it.

Corrie had an fixed 10.30pm timeslot for repeats in the early noughties on ITV2 and they only got half what BBC choice was getting back then [500k vs 240k approx]It wass dropped Neither corrie or emmerdale are huge with the 16-34 crowd particularly emmerdale so why would ITV2 want them when they could run films uninterrupted during one of the best timeslots for multichannel. If they were trying to maximise first time viewing why do they repeat them during the day and why have they reintroduced the weekend omnibus Itv3 is about abc1 viewers, the one show has more than emmerdale, perhaps the beeb should repeat it on BBC4

There's no top-of-the-table tussle either (like Chris v Suzanne) to create intrigue. It's a very open year...but maybe not the better for it?For me, they need to split the show (ITV with Dancing on Ice, BBC1 with Strictly Come Dancing) over 2 nights. The slickness of The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent makes them look laboured in comparison. Quote:
One disadvantage with Corrie is they've got an hour to repeat every Friday and Monday. I do hate the Corrie scheduling it's madness and beats me however it ever ended up like this. It's far from ideal. Emmerdale on a Thurs should also not be 2 eps they should drop one completely six isn't needed.
