Considering it was mentioned once in one paper and hasn't been mentioned since, I'd imagine no.

I'm not surprised, this programme has been a disaster from start to finish and Simon Cowell, WTF, you knew he was just appearing to big up TXF. Hurrah to Big Brother for beating it.

Agree. Also, even after it aired the England matches it didnt do that well, well of course it did well for its slot or whatever but following a huge footie lead in, you would expect 6.5m+ or something at least, but even after the matches which were getting peaks of 20m, the show was going under mid 4m.

As you would usually tell us, the demographics will be good as it is an audience they don't usually have on ITV.

I can't imagine anything else airing at 9.30 that wouldn't have just been a pointless repeats or filler. At least they commissioned something special for the occasion.

Hardly a fair comparison to say it was beaten by BB by including (as yet uncomfirmed) +1 ratings whilst excluding the HD viewers for ITV HD.

True, but a big deal a C4 show beating a ITV footie related show in the same slot.

I'm a massive BB fan but to say that would be lying. BB did not beat an ITV footie show in the same slot.

BB's ratings are on the up, that should be enough to give the series praise. We don't need to use inaccurate spin to make it look better than it is.

Exactly Jonny.

Other news - BBC to be fairly unimaginative and give Tess Daly The One Show, according to The Mirror.

They should bring somebody in from outside the beeb to replace Bleakley, someone new. I find Daly's presenting quite wooden, then again, so is Bleakley.

Bad call if you ask me.

I just noticed that the One show goes HD tommorow.

When is BBC1HD starting?

They should have got someone else so theres a bit more publicity around it. Tess works primarily for the BBC so its not really going to be a high profile move. I'm sure she'll do a good job though. Contrary to TV executives beliefs, Christine is very easily replaceable.

Will Tess be doing Monday-Thursday or Monday-Friday?

The weren't at the same time though, Corden didn't start unitl 10pm, which explains the lower rating as there was a lot of post-match analysis.

Tess Daly for The One Show? :yawn:

We have a start date of 'autumn'.

'Autumn' but no official launch date as of yet.

No exact month given, just 'Autumn', although I'm hoping that means September when all the new programming kicks off. I know the EastEnders fire, which is meant to pave the way for its move into HD, is in late August...

Oh sorry, i actually thought it started at 9:30pm :/

Thanks all .Is the Fire not september?
I didn't think the One show was going to be in HD so soon.

Would have made more sense to wait for the launch of BBC1 HD really - though I guess there isn't much around at that time competing for a slot on BBC HD.

They should Launch EastEnders,The One show,Holby& Casualty in HD on the same week.

I think they show countryfile at 7:00pm don't they?

Corden was scheduled to start at 21:30 though: http://uk-tv-guide.com/list/ITV1+Central/10+July+2010/

MattJ noted it started at 21:40 to the nearest 5 minutes, so it probably started at approx. 21:38.

Oh was it? For some reason I thought it was scheduled to start at 10pm. Scrap what I said before then.

Yep it was definately on at 21.40 as i Saw him introducing the guests and quickly turned over

Good grief, could this be one of the lowest rated primetime World Cup finals? Awful, awful game.
