The trailers for DCI Banks have already started on ITV1.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

A survey conducted in my head reveals that 80% of the Great British Public were willing Daybreak to fail because they thought Christine Bleakley had started to believe her own publicity.

ITV have made a judgement based on column inches and the idea of getting one over on the BBC. The are they-aren't stories in the press convinced ITV that Chiles and Bleakley were some new golden couple.

In truth, TOS is wallpaper TV which people who don't like Emmerdale have on in the background as they settle down for the evening and it doesn't matter who presents it as long as they're halfway competent.

We need to wait a few weeks or months to get a true picture of how Daybreak is doing. And it's always possible for ITV to revamp the revamp at some point.

Any ratings for last nights Emmerdale?

6.1m (30.7%)

Thanks.

Confirmed on C5 this morning that Amanda Lamb's new series on the channel Street Market Chefs will begin Tuesday 26th October at 7:30pm.

God it gets worse for Daybreak!! lol Christine must be regretting her move now. Serves her right for being so greedy.

Ends on a series high! Excellent rating.

Cowboy Builders returns in that slot next week.

Grand Designs return to fantastic numbers even though its down on last years opening, while the rest of C4 does quite poorly.

Daybreak its getting such a hard time from all angles and am wishing for figures to increase...

And Live From Studio 5 now staying at the 400,000 mark, doubling its figures from last week.

Daybreak was up from 760,000 on Tuesday

Whilst I can see Gary having a role in 2012 I can't see him being main host as you rightly point out he hasn't been involved in the Olympics since Atlanta I believe.

Huw will almost certainly commentate on the ceremonies. I think the Opening Ceremony is really a cultural event & not a sports event so they would never let someone like Hazel do it on her own. Huw seems to do a lot of big events now - I note he is fronting the coverage of the Papal visit.

Huw is being groomed as the successor to David Dimbleby

RWC KOs finalised - doesnt work out too bad for ITV. Might interupt Daybreak a bit for a few games though

I imagine it'll air once How to Take Stunning Pictures finishes, the 7.30pm slots seem to AFP with the exceptions of How Do They Do it and documentaries, not a bad thing as they can air shows against the soaps without having to pay too much for it. HTTSP was quite good but I think it would have struggled at 8pm.

LFSF gets another 400k, come on guys thats a good increase for a show which hit the bottom of a bottom inside a bottom.

After 8 so far and ordered by W18-34 - A18-34 - A18-49 - Viewers

1. The Vampire Diaries - 2.9 - 1.9 - 1.6 - 3.36m
2. America's Next Top Model - 2.1 - 1.4 - 1.3 - 2.84m
3. Hellcats - 2.1 - 1.4 - 1.2 - 3.07m
4. One Tree Hill - 2.0 - 1.4 - 1.1 - 2.14m
5. Gossip Girl - 2.0 - 1.4 - 1.0 - 1.84m
6. Nikita - 1.8 - 1.3 - 1.4 - 3.57m
7. 90210 - 1.8 - 1.2 - 0.9 - 1.96m
8. Life Unexpected - 1.4 - 1.0 - 0.8 - 1.65m

Not a great start for this season. Every returning series was down from last year, Nikita clearly isn't going to replicate the success of The Vampire Diaries and the only bright spot was that Hellcats did far better than The Beautiful Life last year.

But last nights ratings show Hellcats down 19% to a 1.7 rating with W18-34 despite its ANTM lead-in rising this week to a 2.2.

it was therefore a good decision to make it 30 mins. And any voices that said it would be harmed by Ian Wright's departure were completely wrong.

But could LFSF be harmed when 'Strictly-It Takes Two' returns shortly?

Iv no idea whether the 3.8 million Champions League rating means that ITV gain, break even or lose out financially, but MOTD gets more sometimes stuck away after 10.00. Given that teams can lose two games and still get through,and also that the standard of some of the teams is dubious it does rather make almost all of the pre Christmas section non-descript. Its actually started to bore me which, at one stage, I could never have seen myself saying.

Solid for BBC1 last night-"solid" being a word used more and more regarding BBC1 its seems.

I'm starting to doubt my memories now. Maybe it wasn't Les on the motorbike, but one of the young people instead, but I'm sure I remember him removing his crash-helmet during the titles. It's a bit sad how the titles are the only thing I remember about that series!

I don't remember That's Showbusiness ever having good ratings, but I suppose it must have rated a lot better than A Question of Entertainment, which I always suspected That's Showbusiness had sprung from. A Question of Entertainment lasted for one 18-part series in 1988, and every edition seemed to feature a clip from the film Throw Momma From the Train! Anyway, that series went out on Sunday nights at 7.15pm, and I'm guessing it rated badly, as it never returned.

Good!
She shouldn't have become so up her self sacking her Agent was the start of her downfall and shame on ITV too

It could be, i think the show is now finding its feet and audience now know what the show is and is centring on that. Brian Dowling is presenting tonight so that might help

Getting rid of Ian and cutting by half an hour has helped but TBH I'd get rid of Kate and Jayne and replace them with more suitable presenters. The show's on borrowed time anyway because I imagine it's not cheap and they could get the same ratings with a repeat.

Yeah, I have the That's Showbusiness theme in my mind at the moment. Or one version of it, anyway. I think they changed it at some point.

Yes, Bruce sang the theme tune for Takeover Bid. It had vague hints of rap, as I recall.

Bruce:I'm gonna make a Takeover Bid for you.
I'm gonna shake you up and get rid of you.
The time has come,
The wipeout's here.
I'd like to say I'm sorry,
But who's sincere?
Takeover Bid...

Female backing singers:Take it over.

Bruce:Takeover Bid

Female backing singers:Take it over.

Bruce:First on the grid,
First on the grid,
To take over you.

In the big reality TV battle, Masterchef got squeezed out with pretty poor numbers for the finale. I thought that with a Survivor lead-in, Big Brother might top a 3.0 but a 2.9 still ties its season high.

America's Got Talent was up around half a million in total viewers and 6% in the demo. Its final half hour peak was somewhat higher than last year in both viewers and A18-49 with the overall average lowered by the first half hour which was below 13m and had just a 2.8 rating. The 16m average was the largest ever audience for the series.

Outlaw won't make it past 13 episodes. If it can only get a 2.4 following on from AGT, it's going to flop on Fridays. But CBS will be encouraged by the performance of Survivor in its new slot.

Bad news for The CW, Hellcats declines are disappointing especially when ANTM was up from last week.
