Does it really matter how low BB falls now? It's been axed and there's no chance of it coming back on CH4 so CH4 are hardly going to be worried about the below par ratings-that's why it was axed in the first place! Like other people have been saying people are bored of the same format. Yes they have put more effort in this series, but everything has to come to an end sometime.
Though considering how low the eviction was, I am very surprised to see the IT Crowd near 2m. Very good result. Both EE and Corrie falling below 7/6m when matches start just show the stupid scheduling. EE's scheduling had been good, up until last night. Not quite sure why it was moved back to 8pm. |

Clearly it was the exceptionally hot weather that dented the ratings of many of the channels last night-I mean look at James Corden's hsow a mere 300 000 above BB and following the highest rated show of the evening....
However how people can say oh BB performed terribly is beyond me-once again Channel 4s highest rating show of the day and yet The It Crowd doesn't get 2 million and oh it's done brilliantly ![]() Yes BB once did a lot better, but those days are gone. Right now it's Channel 4s best rating show and perhaps, just perhaps, people should recognise that. |

Either way, BB is still the most watched show. |

Extra time and penalties are when the WC ratings are going to shoot up. Uruguay vs South Korea looks like its heading that way, so might not finish till 5.30 ish. The US vs. Ghana could easily go down that route too. Personally I cant see England vs Germany going to ET.

Murray looking unlikely to be on court before 6pm at the absolute earliest - possibly closer to 7pm, so I strongly suspect it could be on BBC1 at 7pm - though knowing the BBC they'll just put it on for the hour and go back for the Lottery at 8pm. However, now In it to Win It is recorded months in advance they could get away with dropping it and just putting a 10-minute Lotto draw bulletin on later. |

Problem is they're paying something stupid like £70m for it. For that amount the ratings are awful.

Just announced on BBC1 to switch to BBC2 for continued Tennis coverage. Nadal match is dragging on, God knows when Murray will be on?

Assuming Nadal will win this match, we'll be playing at least 2 more sets before Murray. Unlikely to see Murray until about 7 at the absolute earliest, more likely 7.30 after warm-ups etc. Could see another late night affair under the floodlights of Centre Court, and that would almost certainly be bumped to BBC1.

I should note that they could switch back to BBC1 after the news. See last year, middle Saturday:
BBC One 12:10 - Wimbledon 2009 17:40 - BBC News 17:50 - BBC Regional News 18:00 - Wimbledon 2009 (5.8m, 34%) 19:50 - Totally Saturday (3.8m, 21%) 20:35 - Lottery 20:45 - Casualty 21:35 - Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow BBC Two 16:00 - Glastonbury 2009 17:40 - Wimbledon 2009 18:15 - The Weakest Link --> moved from BBC1 19:00 - Robin Hood --> moved from BBC1; series finale 19:45 - Coast (R) If Nadal's match is near its conclusion soon, then that might well happen... Edit: Besides, Nadal's downfall maybe more justice for moving it to BBC One as it could heavily dent Who. |

The BBC is obviously intending to keep the tennis on BBC2 until Dr Who finishes - presumably then junking BBC1's schedule until nightfall to allow the Murray match to get a primetime BBC1 slot. If Murray starts up before Dr Who finishes, then so be it.
Looks like it's turned out well for them tonight - I assume if the Murray match is unresolved tonight it will resume at lunchtime on Monday? |

EE was shown at a different time in Scotland does anyone know if the DS figure takes this into account?

![]() Yes BB once did a lot better, but those days are gone. Right now it's Channel 4s best rating show and perhaps, just perhaps, people should recognise that. And the fact the IT Crowd is up on its usual performance? And BB is considerably down? You can't always compare two shows that simply. Also BB is definetely not CH4's best rated show anymore. Quote:
Tbh some channels are interested in CBB not BB though after the big success of CBB7 in January, just proves it can still pull in 4m+ especially evictions... so its not completely tired of though, but I guess that was because of the celebs like Vinnie Jones, Alex Reid, Ivana Trump and Stephanie Beacham (sp?) made it worth watching.

I wonder what the odds are that Doctor Who will start as billed at 6.05 on BBC1 tonight. I think I will eat 5 hats if this does happen

(especially on a day like today when many record it, and EPG's are a bit hit and miss whether they handle the schedule change), but watch me proved wrong tonight.

Graham Linehan's The IT Crowd pulled in 1.88m (9.6%) for its fourth series premiere at 10pm. Really wish The IT Crowd (aka "Father Ted Lives On") would get the recognition it deserves. It's brilliant. Quote:
It hasn't turned out well though - a potential shock in the world number 2 going out against Dr Who will dent Who's ratings.
Murray will go under floodlights, so his game will finish tonight. Could beat the World Cup game as well. Given that weeknight Murray matches have reached 10-12m (boosted by people waiting for EE), this could be one almighty trouncing for ITV1 this weekend! |

Surely the cost is a big issue?

CBB7 was a stroke of genius that was compelling viewing for 3 weeks. The right celebrities were picked and it was exciting, and hilarious to watch. And like you say the ratings increase was probably due to the luck CH4 had as the celebs really worked well together, which isn't always a given. We know that C4 can do it if they try, they were very lucky with CBB7. |

Whatever happens tonight, ITV1's World Cup game (and James Corden's show) are going to get an absolute pasting by the Murray Match. This weekend could really be the biggest for the BBC in years.

Completely agree, i found it hilarious. It proves that the public like fun much more than arguments. Note that BB11 was hitting 3m+ in the first few days when they were all aving fun and then dropped when the rows began. And CBB7 had much more fun then rows and the great choice of celebrities, thats what i think made it work very well.
We know that C4 can do it if they try, they were very lucky with CBB7. I think it was a huge coup getting celebrities like Stephanie Beacham. There was about 6 really good housemates who were obviously expensive to get-CH4 probably spending more knowing it would be the last. And my final point before turning this thread too BB related- the moment where Stephanie Beacham dropped the glass award which Ivana Trump thought she had won was the funniest TV moment certainly this year and in recent years aswell. The series deserved to do well.

Though to be fair that was in anticipation of England playing tonight, so an unusually wise move.
We told them that three years ago! Indeed despite all it's self inflicted problems, one of the biggest factors in the demise of the eviction shows at least has to be ITV introducing a regular 8.30pm Corrie on a Friday, which saw the eviction shows pushed 30 minutes later. CBB attracts a different audience to BB and many thought CBB7 was the last ever series. |

Bear in mind 40 mins to shut the roof.
Wimbledon are going to have a gamble. If they can get Murray on court by 7pm they could hope he will win in straight sets just before it gets dark around 9pm. Otherwise they may well shut the roof before he starts which means he may not start till 7.30pm or 7.45pm. (Roof closure then would only waste about 25 mins as there would be say 15 mins between matches anyway - ie they start closing the roof as soon as the Nadal match ends). They are not going to want to suspend play for 40 mins live on BBC1 around 8.45pm. Having said all that Murray's match is likely to be a straight sets walkover so it may not be great Saturday evening "mass entertainment". |

Problem is, they're competing with themselves at the same time as crushing ITV and everyone else.
Also, seeing ITV down so low will delight the BBC bosses and yourself I would imagine.
