I guess with Katie Price leaving ITV, ITV will have some free money, which explains the use for Corden to become the new flagship star of ITV2 perhaps?? But the money that is being reported is simply too much for a channel struggling for money for original programming, especially dramas. Corden's £6m is surely the equivalent of 2 new 6 part dramas?!

Corden's £6m is about one third of ITV4's annual budget for programming.

I count myself as a true fan but I think this series has hit the depths of BB4. Even the so called 'entertaining' ones would be classed as radar dodgers in any other series and this year has been so tedious, I just physically couldn't keep watching it last night.
I want it to do well but realistically its only going to do well if the series is half decent, and this year it just isn't taking off. Some of the core fans might love it, but that doesn't always translate to the public. Last night wasn't good weather allover the country, where I live we had torrential rain from 7pm onwards (until about 3 this morning) and thunder & lightening. I know ratings dont really matter at this point but it gives haters (as there are laod sof them) more chance to slag off BB. IMO Ben is capable of being one of the most classic HMs of all time... as all the people on the forums agree, its great for core audience, but with no media coverage its not shocking really. Plus side it only lost out to BBC1 last night. |

Hmm where i live (Surrey) it was boiling all round. I just hate it when people would slag off BB and the ratings are backing up the fact that BB is at its end. But i just want it to do well, thats why i try positive to hope that it goes up (its capable of getting a 3m official average as officials have claimed) like Sundays 2.5m was good, Im just hoping more tune in tonight than last night.

Here's an interesting tidbit from Broadcast: http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/b...015504.article Quote:
ITV has acquired cult US daytime drama Monk and hundreds of movies in a major new deal with NBC Universal International Television Distribution. I'd imagine that the 3 films would almost certainly be premiered in primetime on ITV1 - especially Mamma Mia and Bourne Ultimatum?The deal will see any new runs of the detective show, which is currently shown on BBC2, air on ITV and will also bring classic US police drama Ironside to ITV3. Films including Mamma Mia, Hot Fuzz and The Bourne Ultimatum will make their television premiere in the UK on the commercial broadcaster’s channels. For reference, Bourne Ultimatum and Hot Fuzz came out in 2007 with Mamma Mia 2008. |

ITV1 started showing Monk on Saturday mornings ages ago. Slow news day?
Looking forward to the Bourne premiere. |

It also lost out to BBC Two for the first half-an-hour. It would certainly have beaten Newsnight in the second.

Did it? Do we have a breakdown? I want to see if audience increased or decreased across the 70 minutes.

No breakdown but Newsnight is always sub 1m.
On another note, James Corden isnt doing too well despite the promotion he gets and the fact it is a World Cup related show. BB did beat his share. I just dont like JC at all... |

I also don't think there will be a 3m official average this year- the first week traditionally rates higher (since BB8) than any subsequent weeks fall lower. The ratings were up and down in week 1, but so far since Thursday they're just going down in comparison to the previous week. |

Ben is just a poor mans version of Derek from BB6. As Dancc said we've seen it all before.

The ratings were up and down in week 1, but so far since Thursday they're just going down in comparison to the previous week. As long as it gets higher than BB10. We just dont want to go out being rated the worst BB series on the last series The first full week has an official of 3.3m, officials are adding generally 450,000 this year... which would bring every rating we have had well above BB10s officials.I disagree about your view on Ben completely, he has the entertainment and wit of all of them put together. Derek was nasty and vile from the things he said, Ben is pretty much unoffensive. He has the making of a great housemate and defenitley needs to get to the final. |

I see we have a date for when Hollyoaks ratings start to matter again Quote:
Hollyoaks' revamped title sequence and rescored theme tune are expected to debut on Monday, July 5 as new producer Paul Marquess's first credited episode airs on Channel 4.
ok I dont think raitngs will matter at all this year, but still this is where C4 are going to start to expect ratings to go up, and almost certainly looking for positive feedback on Marquess's work.

I think Channel 4 will be looking at the wider picture until around September/October ie looking at C4, E4 and the +1 showings, as well as E4 repeats, T4 omnibus and 4OD. With it being summer there is only one the ratings are going.

I can remember years ago, film deals would be announced with bells and whistles but quite obviously the endless press scrutiny means the Beeb keep things very close these days. |

Its a huge amount if its true, though ITV's policy appears to be to sign anything that moves at the moment. Apart from Gavin and Stacey, Corden's laddish cuddly fat bloke routine does seem to be rather limited.

If Chiles and Bleakley had not defected to ITV on the eve of our campaign, we'd have beaten everyone convincingly and come home with the trophy - and they could even have presented a One Show special from the trophy parade on July 13th.
Instead, they'll be preparing to host a programme in a graveyard slot nobody will be watching. Karma! ![]() Quote:
ITV poised to sign James Corden in a £6 million "golden handcuffs" deal, according to The Mirror:
He's really not worth all that money! I'm guessing the "300% more viewers than forecast" bit is referring to the ITV4 ratings, as his show's done average at best on ITV1. Quote:

Some of the core fans might love it, but that doesn't always translate to the public. If anything though BB11's biggest problem is it could go a similar route to BB9 with very one-sided evictions seeing the entertaining big characters leave week after week, leaving a group of dullards in at the end.

Does anyone know if the BBC actually bids for anything outside of Disney/Miramax/Touchstone/Dreamworks? I know there was that seemingly one-off Warner deal which bought Superman Returns-presumably ITV werent bothered as that didnt include a Potter.
I can remember years ago, film deals would be announced with bells and whistles but quite obviously the endless press scrutiny means the Beeb keep things very close these days. Universal has been ITV1's main film supplier for a good number of years and it's not only new films that is attractive but the back catalogue with films like Jurassic Park, ET etc |

I don't believe a word of this, because why would Corden want to sign it? First and foremost he's an actor, and I'm sure he considers that his day job - but what would this contract entail? Just presenting, which seems a bit of a waste? Or will they give him umpteen crap dramas like Nick Berry? That's unlikely given they seem disinclined to make any drama at the moment.

Interesting how the only new programme in primetime on BBC One gives it BBC One's lowest rating of the evening! Very good rating for E4's first look for Hollyoaks. Cue low rating on Channel 4 tomorrow evening...

i think they got a film package from Fox as they showed Daredevil and Down with Love but the Disney and Dreamworks do work out as they are ratings pullers at Christmas. I do wonder whether Transformers will be shown at Christmas as it was a Paramount/Dreamworks film.

All times are GMT. The time now is 04:25.



The first full week has an official of 3.3m, officials are adding generally 450,000 this year... which would bring every rating we have had well above BB10s officials.
