1 vs. 100 is in the can and I'm guessing will be given up against BGT in the spring. The NEXT series of In It To Win It has also been filmed at Pacific Quay in the last couple of weeks (they were looking for audience members at Glasgow Uni recently).
And thank the lord, Guesstimation won't be coming back. I don't see why BBC One perseveres with these dreadful lottery formats in the summer when they could easily bring back Jet Set or Winning Lines.

I suggest you read the Conservatives election manifesto (when it is published). The licence fee will be frozen from 2010 onwards

He might even struggle to win that if Cameron cries. Then he'll end up with nothing, what a pity.

Remember Brown's interview had the Dancing on Ice lead-in, which Cameron's special doesn't, and therefore Brown will probably win the chatshow war. Might as well let him win something, I suppose.
![]() ![]() Still, that partly cancels out the anti-Labour bias on the ITV News. I keep expecting the announcer to announce "The ITV Early Evening News, sponsored by Conservative Central Office"

Regarding Piers' viewing figures, I'm sure when you compare the rating to all the other chat shows it is doing as well or better.
Parkinson in the last few years didn't used to set the world on fire and Jonathan Ross doesn't do particularly big numbers either. |

ITV hit last night unsurprisingly considering the football supplied the lead in. Taking that into consideration, TV Burp and Push the Button performed pretty well, and Piers and Simon did excellently.
BBC1 had a string evening throughout - but Casualty seems slightly on the low side still to me. |

Just watched Stardust on C4. What a great little family movie that was for Oscars night.
I have high hopes for this ratings wise - easily clearing 3m, possibly even 4m+. Second DoI will be dented I think. |

GeorgeS and Robbiesykes should have signature tunes like they have at the Darts.
![]() This thread would be rather drab at times without their remote jousting. As for the FA Cup, Im sure the Beeb will be able to cobble together a bid-though surely the FA will not be daft enough to go with ITV for another four years..................will they. Or is that naieve? |

At least Casualty is posting 5m+ numbers again. It could be worse, some of the ratings it was pulling during the X Factor months last year were horrid.

Very true - but then at least it had an excuse. I mean Life Stories didn't even manage 6m in the overnights yet Casualty fails to hit the mark.
![]() And I'm sure Life Stories was stronger competiton than other ITV shows usually are against it. |

Is it down on recent Casualty ratings? Mid fives always seems about right to me for Casualty. Obviously a far cry from its regular 7-8m heyday but that's true of all these continuing dramas look at The Bill.
![]() And I'm sure Life Stories was stronger competiton than other ITV shows usually are against it. ![]() It's arguable how much Life Stories hit it...I don't think there's much change from last week where it was up agaist Mr. and Mrs. |

Looks like me and GeorgeS may at last have found common ground in both being Tories - it was only a matter of time before we agreed on something...
![]() ![]() Not been a great week for your lot has it? Cashcroft revelations; polls narrowing; Brown coming out of the Iraq Inquiry unscathed. Dave's having a torrid time of it really. I can't see the ITV1 interview having much appeal either. :yawn: |

im not going to mention The Bill
but I will say that Casualty has a few problems, it needs to get rid of alot of the cast, who spend too much time not doing medical stuff, that might help them spend the budget on the accidents.

Along with the equally popular Come Dine With Me catchup on More4, Sunday teatime is becoming a big multi-channel battleground. Indeed, on that evening there must have been times where ITV3 and More4 combined had a higher volume of viewers than Channel 4, Five and BBC Two. |

If the BBC won back the FA Cup, maybe ITV would then win back the F1, or maybe the Premiership highlights again?. Despite what some people would wish, the BBC can't afford Premier League, League Cup, England, FA Cup, F1 and Rugby, so something has to give.
With the adverts during the race issue, it's probably better if it stayed as it is now, with the F1 on the BBC and the FA Cup on ITV. When you add it to the rest its actually pretty impressive-especially after the low point of the late nineties. I wonder though whether it will become more difficult to hang onto these prizes. |

I thought before The X Factor hit it it was in the low 6m's, so to me it's around 0.5m down - so a fall, but not as dramatic as The Bill's.
![]() It's arguable how much Life Stories hit it...I don't think there's much change from last week where it was up agaist Mr. and Mrs. The general consensus in this thread is that 9pm is too late a slot for The Bill (even though that was where it began back in the day), and as I've said before, a post-watershed slot is too late for Casualty (even though it actually took off in the ratings when in a Friday 9.30pm slot back in the day). |

The BBC has a host of other cherries too-Wimbledon, World Snooker(plus three other tournaments), Boat Race, Grand National, Open Golf, Masters Golf, The Derby, BDO World and Masters Darts, Superbowl, British Indoor and Outdoor Athletics, plus further forays into lesser sports plus ofcourse the World Cup and Olympics.
When you add it to the rest its actually pretty impressive-especially after the low point of the late nineties. I wonder though whether it will become more difficult to hang onto these prizes. World Hockey Badminton Wimbledon World Snooker Boat Race Grand National Open Golf Masters Gold The Derby BDO World Masters Darts Superbowl FIFA World Cup Winter Olympics Summer Olympics Commonwealth Games Six Nations Indoor Athletics Outdoor Athletics London Marathon Great North Marathon Carling Cup Sports Relief Formula One European Figure Skating Championships Modern Penthatholon World Championships Indian Premier League British Trails Swimming World Handball European Weightlifting World Diving Champions League Play offs. etc... |
