I think the final debate will rate the higher the the first debate as it will be make or break for all three leaders and just a week to polling day. But does depend on how much the BBC hype it up too, Sky has being going on and on about it's debate for weeks. The BBC has the News at One, Six and Ten, the News Channel, Breakfast News, This Week, Daily Politics Election Special, Newsnight, The Andrew Marr Show, The Politics Show, plus all its radio news show, regional news and its news website! Therefore lots of room for the beeb to plug it but I have not seen any plugs (yet) apart from on Question Time.

ABC:
8pm - Flash Forward - 5.56m (1.6) 9pm - Private Practice - 7.41m (2.3) CBS: 8pm - Survivor - 11.78m (3.6) 9pm - CSI - 13.32m (2.8) 10pm - The Mentalist - 14.78m (3.0) FOX: 8pm - Bones - 8.84m (2.5) 9pm - Fringe - 5.89m (2.1) NBC: 8pm - Community - 3.91m (1.7) 8.30pm - 30 Rock - 4.22m (1.9) 9pm - The Office - 6.41m (3.3) 9.30pm - 30 Rock - 5.18m (2.5) 10pm - The Marriage Ref - 4.30m (1.9) NBC's scheduling experiment didn't tell us anything we don't already know. 30 Rock isn't anything special without a lead-in from The Office. Likewise, ABC's flip of Private Practice (with a Grey's Anatomy repeat at 10pm) just reminded us that it doesn't do that well without the big lead-in. Community, CSI and The Marriage Ref set all time lows while The Office, Private Practice and Survivor set season lows. http://tvbythenumbers.com/2010/04/23...hit-lows/49499 |

Are there any individual figures for Sky News HD?

BBC1
22:00 BBC News - 5.07m (24.8%) - plus the 466k watching 10pm news simulcast on BBC news channel, so 5.54m in total 22:45 Question Time - 2.58 (22.3%) ITV1 22:00 News At Ten - 1.86m (9.9%) ITV news was down on normal due to it being an hour long. BBC 10pm news seemed to be above average though. There were 600k watching Sky News between 10pm and 10:30pm as well. |

Not sure if it has been mentioned but it looks like ITV are going to try Celebrity Juice on ITV1 as a one off. Fearne Cotton and Chris Moyles were talking about it on the radio this morning.

Saw an advert earlier today, promoting Celebrity Juice's Radio 1 v This Morning episode but they said it will air on ITV2 next week. So it looks unlikely that ITV1 episode is still going ahead.

Its a perfect fit for ITV2 regardless, it would be out of place on ITV1 and would never be mainstream enough. Imagine if it was on after after family friendly BGT then 10 mins later Keith was waving his dongle about. |

Possibly unwisely, I just popped over to the Soap Forum and into the 'Coronation Street - Suspension of Reality' thread, one reason that was thrown around that the current scheduling makes it impossible for it to seem realistic.
For those that have been watching this week, Thursday's episode was meant to directly follow on from Monday's with Friday's the day after in essense, i.e. Monday real life = Monday (x2) and Thursday Tuesday real life = Friday (x2) For instance. It'd be much better if the schedule was something like (I know, fantasy schedule, but in this case I don't think Coronation Street's schedule at the moment is at all good) - this past week given as an example: Monday 19:00 - Emmerdale 19:30 - Coronation Street 20:00 - Countryfile 20:30 - Coronation Street 21:00 - Joanna Lumley's Nile Tuesday 19:00 - Emmerdale 19:30 - Children's Hospital 20:00 - Coronation Street 20:30 - Who Wants to be a Millionaire? 21:00 - The Bill Wednesday 19:00 - Emmerdale 19:30 - Champions League/Midsomer Murders Thursday 19:00 - Emmerdale 19:30 - Tonight 20:00 - Coronation Street 20:30 - Emmerdale 21:00 - Greatest Cities of the World Friday 19:00 - Emmerdale 19:30 - Coronation Street 20:00 - Countryfile 20:30 - Coronation Street 21:00 - Marco's Kitchen Burnout I'm not sure what others think, but based on Coronation Street's ratings on Thursday's for the past few months, I think Coronation Street then Emmerdale would work better than what we have now. Plus, the schedule above actually looks consistent. |

You've increased Corrie to 6 episodes!

The scheduling madness started back off when ITV stupidly agreed to moving their Champions League deal from Tuesday to Wednesday games... |

I think a fixed slot 4 times a week makes the most sense for viewers to keep track. Having Emmerdale then Corrie on at the same time Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday means people don't have to keep looking at the TV guide for when shows are scheduled.

Basically I'd go with the schedule above but without the Friday 8.30 episode. I'm also not sure about having Emmerdale in between two Corrie's. I know this happens in reality with EastEnders, but it's never happened on the same channel has it? Having soap viewers watching ED then EE then CS and then back to ED may be a bit messy. |

The small matter of EastEnders means this isn't possible.

[quote=D.M.N.;39830435]*FANTASY SCHEDULE*.[/QUOTE - Monday: 7.30, 8.30 - Tue/Thu: 7:30 - Friday: 7:30 - Sunday: 7:30 I think ITV should try to negotiate with BBC1 a deal for the soaps:- - EastEnders to move from Tuesday/Thursday 7.30 to Wednesday 7.30 permanently - ITV to remove Thursday's Emmerdale/Corrie 8pm hour, moving it to Sunday 7, 7.30. - Coronation Street to air either Tuesday 7:30 or Thursday 7:30. If this was possible, it would solve all problems. Plus, it would mean Wednesday evenings benefitted, with a male-skewed line-up versus a female/family skewed line-up - both with potential to bring in good audiences at the same time. Quote:
Ah yes I have. That's the problem with having an odd number of episodes per week with no real possibility of an episode on Wednesdays because of football. You can't really have it Sunday, Monday (x2), Friday (x2) because of the gap between Monday and Friday.
The scheduling madness started back off when ITV stupidly agreed to moving their Champions League deal from Tuesday to Wednesday games... I think the only problem for ITV is the EastEnders block on Tuesday and Thursday...if one edition was moved to Wednesday, Corrie could slot in permanently - and there would never be any scheduling problems again.

But with Wednesday's unavailable, I think Sunday's, Monday's, Thursday's and Friday's should be the Emmerdale/Coronation Street soap blocks [as explained earlier]. Standalone episodes of Emmerdale/Corrie to air on Monday 8.30 and Wednesday at 7. |

Yeah, I agree with you, the Emmerdale/Corrie block is extremely beneficial for both...it used to perform very well on Wednesday's and Sunday's where no other soaps used to venture - thus giving dramas indispensible lead-ins. But with Wednesday's unavailable, I think Sunday's, Monday's, Thursday's and Friday's should be the Emmerdale/Coronation Street soap blocks [as explained earlier]. Standalone episodes of Emmerdale/Corrie to air on Monday 8.30 and Wednesday at 7. |

Such a move would help ITV out more than the BBC! |

Marco's heading towards Michael Winner territory! The difference being that Dining Stars was clearly meant to be a cheap daytime sort of show whereas I reckon ITV had higher expectations for Kitchen Burnout - another 5 weeks to go! |

The summery weather hit the ratings last night by the look of things, with nothing bar the soaps above 5m and the soaps low as well.
EE & Corrie were still pushing 40% though, so the number of viewers watching must have been down. |
