More than likely its the old practice of putting down any old times in the provisionals. The 20 mins will be taken off Who and given to Casualty and then you have your schedule.

Seems like the BBC schedulers have been taking drugs.
If the third debate in on 29th April on BBC One, it means that Outnumbered and HIGNFY will have to move, unless BBC One do: 19:00 - EastEnders 19:30 - The Third Debate 21:00 - HIGNFY 21:30 - Outnumbered Don't look at the scheduling for A Passionate Woman. It's not worth it. |

HIGNFY is 9 weeks, Outnumbered is 6 weeks, so 3 weeks to fill in. Tonight is 1 week. Expect the election debate to be another.
So.... 19:00 - The One Show 19:30 - Eastenders 20:00 - Election Debate 21:30 - HIGNFY |

BTW, what do we think BBC and ITV will do for election coverage? Start at 10pm and just run through, or will both channels break to news coverage at 9pm? I can't remember what happened in 2005, but arguably the chances of a change in power are much greater this time than in 2005. Also, do we expect rolling coverage throughout the next day, i.e. so the schedules look like: Thursday 6th May into Friday 7th May BBC One 19:00 - The One Show 19:30 - EastEnders 20:00 - BBC News Special 21:00 - Have I Got News For You 21:30 - ??? (Vicar of Dibley repeat possibly) 22:00 to 13:45 on Friday - Election 2010 13:45 - Doctors 14:15 - Murder, She Wrote 15:05 - CBBC 17:15 - BBC News Special 20:00 - EastEnders 20:30 - as normal ITV1 19:00 - Emmerdale 19:30 - ITV News Special 20:00 - Emmerdale 20:30 - Coronation Street 21:00 - The Bill 22:00 to 06:00 - Election 2010 06:00 - GMTV 09:25 to 19:00 - ITV News Special 14:00 - as normal Or am I over-exagerrating slightly? What has happened for previous elections? I cannot imagine there being normal schedules the next day, that is for sure. |

3.5m (16%). Hardly what I'd call good, but I guess it was OK for the timeslot.

I imagine the networks will stay on air until one side concedes defeat the following morning. Of course, if we wind up heading towards a hung parliament, that might never happen... |

On the leaders debates, i've read on another forum , that leading up to the ITV debate (presumely on the Thursday 15th as said previously) that on Monday 12th, Tuesday 13th, Wednesday 14th there will be Tonight specials - not sure how reliable it is , but i've read something on Mark Austin/Julie Etchingham's blog that definately suggests there be some sort of specials.

A YouTube video of the opening of the 2005 election coverage showed that the BBC started at 9.55pm. They announce the exit poll results (which were almost entirely accurate last time) right on 10pm so need to be on air. They might just squeeze 5 minutes by cutting out trails earlier in the evening - or they could chose to just run a half hour from 9pm and have more build-up.
I imagine the networks will stay on air until one side concedes defeat the following morning. Of course, if we wind up heading towards a hung parliament, that might never happen... They probably won't go on air any earlier than 9.55pm because there are very tight restrictions on election day tv coverage. You are barely allowed to say anything more than that the polls are open while they are. |

Again, what is the best ITV1 can offer against these shows that isn't a soap and isn''t a talent contest? They really are relying overly much on two soaps and two talent contests to deliver ratings- ITV2 boosts ITV's overall share by about 3pc, but is really too much of a niche channel( young women who like reality shows) to fight the BBC head on.
Identity seems like the kind of thing that could do well on Mondays. Hard to say for sure, but The Whole 19 Yards could do reasonably like The Cube and 71 Degrees North does seem like a decent concept. None of them will come close to BGT, but then again, nothing on BBC1 will either. The problem for BBC1/ITV1 isn't just that they don't have the shows, but just that they didn't seem to broadcast many of them in March. |

I think you've pretty much answered your own question, excluding soaps and football everything else seems to be cheap filler weekdays from 7-10, hence very low ratings, 2-4m for last few months. Not that BBC is on fire either, but they have a good spread of shows that pull 4-5.5m viewers, Holby, Masterchef, Life of Riley, Invisible Worlds, Cimewatch, QI, meaning that people are tuning in all the time to the station whereas on ITV people tune in for the events.
BBC seem to pushing this event style TV themselves of late. Stripped dramas, and big buzz Easter weekend line up with new A2A, DW and JC. ITV1 are commercial and hence make their money from advertising so spend loads on a few big shows that make loads of money. I guess it makes sense. |

ITV2 is even more commercial and, apart from its reality shows, mostly just shows repeats, soap omnibuses and chick flicks. However, unlike ITV1, this is a niche channel- mostly for young women- and does well in its demographic as well as being the biggest digital channel in Britain and must turn in a decent profit.

Be interesting now ITV own GMTV whether they might go right through to 9.25am and possibly beyond. I recall reading more results will be declared the next day rather than overnight this time. Quote:

US Ratings - Wednesday 31st March
ABC:
8.30pm - The Middle - 6.21m (1.9) 9pm - Modern Family - 9.34m (3.8) 9.30pm - Cougar Town - 5.99m (2.6) 10pm - Ugly Betty - 4.06m (1.4) FOX: 8pm - Human Target - 8.18m (2.3) 9pm - American Idol - 19.96m (6.5) NBC: 10pm - Law & Order: SVU - 9.96m (2.9) ____________________________ American Idol will move up a bit as it overran so it should pass the 20m mark. However, I believe that is the lowest adults 18-49 rating for a regularly scheduled in-season American Idol broadcast ever (in other words, lowest since the debut season, which aired in the summer). This year, the results shows are underperforming vs the performances, a reverse of the situation last year. Also, this weeks most watched show on US television is Dancing With The Stars. On Monday it had 22.97m, ahead of Idol's 21.85m on Tuesday. Modern Family is doing great but in turn, it makes Cougar Town look bad. NBC will be happy with L&O: SVU's performance at 10pm just now. CBS ran repeats. http://tvbythenumbers.com/2010/04/01...-for-nbc/46960 |

Lewis, Midsomer Murders, Foyles War, A Touch of Frost and the British Soap Awards not to mention Champions League football should all deliver around 6m or more.

Doctor Who being 13 episodes, Ashes To Ashes is 8 episodes and Waterloo Road another 10 episodes are some examples. |

The problem for ITV is that the shows you have flagged as being 6m bankers all take up very small amounts of the schedule. Lewis is a 4 part series, Frost has only 2 episodes left, Foyles War is 3 episodes, Midsommer is on once in a blue moon, Champions League is once every 2 weeks at ceratin times of the year and Soap awards are an annual event. Most of the time the schedule is propped up by the soaps and filler apart from when one of the reality shows is on.
