The Dancing on Ice/Wild at Heart combo seems to be going a little bit wrong this year. Do people still think the ice show should be split over two nights next year, or would light ent opposition knock the performance show's figures even lower?

Alan Carr: Chatty Man: 2.3m - according to Daily Star! Dunno if it's 100% right.

As for the current episodes, I don't see what's wrong with 6pm, it's the lightest of light entertainment. I can't understand why ITV put things like this and Mr and Mrs on so late, past the watershed. The clue's in the title - Family Fortunes. After nine o'clock I want adult programming. The teatime quiz always used to be a traditional part of the Saturday schedules. There's no way Family Fortunes deserves to be the centrepiece of the night, it's flimsy old Family Fortunes.

When I was younger I used to really look forward to reaching the age when I'd be able to stay up late and watch adult programming. Now I am allowed to stay up late it's the same stuff I used to watch at teatime.
Not sure how late you're talking but it's a real shame that unashamedly truly trashy pointless (though actually often quite innocent!) late night TV is pretty much a thing of the past, especially when you consider the audience for ITV/C4 post-midnight is probably no smaller than some of their digital off-shoots in primetime. And of course just like kids TV it was a breeding ground for new TV talent too - Graham Norton, Tess Daly, Davina McCall and Claudia Winkleman all got their big breaks after midnight!Nowadays instead of truly trashy pointless TV after midnight you just get Loose Women! |

FFS, I've just seen that The Secret Millionaire is back next Monday. It's a good show but it's only been about three months since the last run ended, and since then we've had a Christmas special and the Slumdog edition. In turn, the ratings have fallen from 4m in 2008 to 2.5m for recent editions. Why do C4 find it impossible to stick to one series a year for it instead of overkill? In a Monday slot, where C4 always struggle, I can see it struggling to top 2m. How stupid.

George S doesnt appear to have put in an appearance yet. The Eastenders hangover must be a particularly difficult one.
(apologies if I have missed a post) |

EastEnders is trending worldwide on Twitter again - although I do find the description rather funny: Quote:
People are tweeting about the 25th anniversary episode of this British soap opera, which played out live on air last week and is currently being rebroadcast (Feb. 22).
![]() Hope it gets 11/12m tonight though... |

You know somebody has died in EastEnders when the episode description reads "Whilst the Square comes to terms with recent events..."

If EastEnders is trending On Twitter then I'm sure it will get at least over 11m.

Some completed series averages for BBC One from the new BARB data:
Hustle averaged a very healthy 6.27m which is some 0.2 million or 3.3% up on 2009. It was lifted in its first two weeks by the snow boost but still did very well overall with particularly tough drama competition from Law and Order: UK on ITV1. Silent Witness had a massive boost to a great average of 7.46m, which is up 1.1m or 11.7% from the last series in 2008. Again, the snow helped in the early stages but even after that, no episode fell below the average for the last series. Seems like it prospered on Thurs/Fri with weak opposition from The Bill and PSTOS. Also, finished in January but I'm not sure if anyone mentioned, Wallander ended with an average of 5.72m for its 3 epsiodes, down 0.31m on the 2008 series. With Lark Rise doing well too, looks like January's 'drama overload' worked out OK - though Survivors and (predictably) Material Girl flopped. All I have followed Survivors I always get the feeling it should have been a one off as the first episode was pretty powerful, or maybe a two parter. |

Tell that to the producers of Take Me Out.

I'm sure this is down to the new system more accurately recording BBC1's audiences. Can they go back and recalculate the last 8 years? Quote:
Sunday 21st Feb
BBC1 18:00-19:00 CountryFile - 6.5m (27%) 19:00-20:00 Antiques Roadshow - 7m (26%) *last year equivalent episode: 6.25m (24.1%) 20:00-21:00 Lark Rise 6.14m (21.6%) *last year equivalent episode: 5.84m (21.3%) BBC2 20:00-22:15 Winter Olympics - 3.13m (11.5%) *peak 4m 9-9:15 ITV1 18:45-20:30 Dancing on Ice - 7.81m (28.9%) *last year equivalent episode: 9.1m (36%) 20:30-21:30 Wild At Heart - 6.42m (22.9%) *last year equivalent episode: 7.6m (28%) 21:30-22:00 Dancing on Ice Results - 6.9m (27%) *last year equivalent episode: 8.3m (32%) at Tanking on Ice. Crikey, it really is sinking.Abandon ship, abandon ship!! A drop of 1.3m/1.4m year on year is terrible news for ITV. And Wild at Heart really is boring people into flipping channels now. BBC1 is really reaping the benefits of viewers' 'mushed cabbage fatigue', as they seek out more nourishing and challenging fare on the other side. I wonder how the head-to-heads are for Countryfile vs ToI and AR vs ToI? I'll wager ToI isn't pulling greatly ahead until 8pm. Quote:
The live episode is still the most watched episode on iPlayer, and by my reckoning:
14.91m [BBC1 airing] 01.50m [BBC2 omnibus] *guesstimate 01.42m [BBC3 repeat] 01.00m [BBC iPlayer] *guesstimate ==> TOTAL = 18.83m Quote:

Unless it also tanks, ToI-style. |

BTW, nothing much to enthuse about in Married Single Other.
Hardly ground-breaking new drama is it? :yawn: I might have to put Old Tricks on in a minute... However, the excitement continues to build re Michael Winner's Dining Stars - I see Charlie Brooker (of all people!) is the latest to rave about it. Sort of. ![]() http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-rad...michael-winner I can't wait. It could be the first "good" new thing on ITV in years. And with the rugby as competition, it could get a good strong 5m+ to start with too! |

Well to be fair I don't think you should be running the show down as you were the one who scoffingly said the live ep would get 18m, in reality it was less than 3m off that (most of the ep being less than 2m off it) and probably did get 18m with aggregated viewers taken into account across all platforms.
It's great though how it's the only soap that trends. I suspect GeorgeS is still swallowing the pill of Friday's ratings. Oh the joy!

The Cowell fests will be down on last year as I'm sure you will enjoy. Susan Boyle was a worldwide sensation, you can't get any bigger than that.

Reckon this will be another flop for them unfortunately. Didn't think it was that bad though.
I do also find it odd that BBC1 are showing a repeat on a Monday in Winter, what are they actually spending their money on that they don't have new drama to show in winter?

Even if it flops ITV deserve some credit for making a drama that doesnt feature police and murders. |

If it is a flop, ITV will be right back into the crime drama genre as it's the only thing that seems to work

Is it worth a watch on the ITV player later?
