“The pay-TV giant wants to hear pitches for movies and two-part miniseries as it moves back into original feature production. Sky wants to co-produce three big event TV movies each year. The problem, it says, will be finding UK projects of sufficient scale and quality – a problem which Warner Bros also faces developing British blockbusters. Brit producers tend to think small-scale and intimate. “We’re looking for big exclusive events that can add value to the movie subscription,” Ian Lewis, director of Sky Movies tells me. “A lot of the projects we’ve sifted already were easy to turn down.
“We’re looking for the kinds of stories, cast and production values that we would see on the movie channels.””

Yes and it's ironic considering George was telling everyone else to get a sense of humour a few hours ago.

Reach is a rating. You posted the other week that X Factor had a "reach" of 14m for X Factor's first weekend.
Appreciation Index isnt a great measure either. DIY SOS got an appreciation of 85 last Thursday. While on that same night Eastenders got 80, Corrie and Emmerdale both got 82 and on Saturday X Factor got 80.
Does that mean DIY SOS is the best and most popular out of all of the shows?

Dont you know the thread rules? You cant suggest that X Factor declining will be a good thing and wanting Strictly to increase!
Shame on you Dan.

Well to be fair you're no saint, your carry on when EE got 13m+ viewers at xmas 2007 is still one of the most memorable DS rants of all time.

I admit, i'm no saint either, but at least my rant lasted just one day. Lol! I'm surprised people can still remember that rant. I'm honoured it still lives on. And did you just become a "fan" of dan2008 on Facebook!

Great start for Waterloo Road. It still begs the question of why are they airing it tonight? With a stronger performance last night I think it'll be able to nudge past 4m tonight. I actually thought last night's episode was much better than anything from the Spring run but WR goes through good and bad patches and last year the Autumn run was much better than the Spring one so we'll see how it goes.
Not sure what they'll do with George Gently. A Sunday slot seems most likely with the documentary moved to another night. Will be an interesting battle between it and Joe Maddison's War, and scheduling will be key. I suspect Spooks will take the Tuesday slot as I can't see them wanting it to clash with Whitechapel on Mondays or Law and Order on Thursdays when ITV are not airing drama on Tuesday. That will leave the Wednesday slot free for The Apprentice too in a few weeks.”

On Joe Maddison's War, I hope they save this for a Wednesday night slot near Christmas:
7:00pm Emmerdale
7:30pm Coronation Street (still the tram crash aftermath)
8:30pm Joe Maddison's War
10:00pm News at Ten
Because there won't be a 9pm junction for viewers to flock to BBC One, maybe Joe Maddison's War (with the trustee Robson Green tag) will do very well for them.
It's a slot which I think 'The Fattest Man In Britain' should have had too.

Please could someone find a link to this.
I watch X Factor and enjoy it, but I really want it to do drop in the ratings a lot... Simon Cowell thinks he's untouchable....

No. The reach is anyone who watched any part of the show, not the average of all screenings across channels

Perhaps we ought to add catch up service figures to BARB ratings for the BBC, as you say this is a good measure for BBC shows.
Ill start by adding 1m to every Doctor Who episode this year.

Yeah, I think it should've been saved for the Christmas period because ITV don't have many dramas lined up for that time of the year. But the DVD is out in mid-September so it's probably airing quite soon.

It's safe to say Roscoe may have over indulged in the Sherry on Boxing day

I think September 19th is pretty much confirmed as that ties in with the DVD release and leaves 7 weeks for Downton Abbey before I'm A Celebrity. I agree that it would have been better to have left it until Christmas as it seems like the sort of thing that could do well at Christmas and would tie in with Coronation Street. So far the only drama we know of for Christmas on ITV is Come Rain Come Shine with David Jason, although I guess they'll screen at least one episode each of Poirot and Marple, and possibly a new Midsomer.

Im surprised I missed that, I hadnt registered back then but often read this thread at that time.
Jeez, all I can do is commend Roscoe for conveying his passion in that post.
I can also see why you dislike Dan2008 so much now.

There was something in Radio Times recently saying it might not be until next year.

Good points.
If I were in Cowell's shoes, I'd be hoping Merlin rates reasonably well on September 11th and 18th, otherwise it might be flipping with SCD in October.
