Oops, I made a typo for that. It was 49k (0.2%).

I would edit my post but the time limit has run out. Apologies for that.

I think RZT made a typo.


Super Nurses is a ten-part documentary series observing the day-to-day challenges faced by cancer patients, and the support provided by specialist nurses, narrated by Sky News presenter Kay Burley. The Ten Alps production drew an audience of 49,900 (0.2%) to Sky1 at 8.30pm, which could only provide a lowly Performance Index figure of 27.1.

Originally that did say 490,900 but it looks like they changed it after I copied and pasted it over.

Sounds quite a heavy show. Sky News seem to drop a few of these randomly into their evening schedules.

I wonder if that Super Nurses thing was originally commissioned for Sky Real Lives which has of course now closed. If that is the case then I wonder why they didn't slot it into Living's schedules instead.

Yeah they've changed the channel to Sky 1 instead of Sky news as well.

Tuesday 21st September Overnights
BBC One
19:30- EastEnders: 8.86m (41.7%)
Thats an impressive rating for Eastenders, its highest share for any episode since 2nd March. Looks like the return of Kat and Alfie has proved a big hit with viewers.
21:00- Lost Land of the Tiger: 5.03m (21.5%) inc. HD
Lost Land of The Tiger did really well, hopefully it will build like the Jaguar series did in 2008.

Here’s how the three main soaps have been officially averaging so far this year:

Coronation Street: 9.41m [inc. HD]
EastEnders: 9.23m
Emmerdale: 7.26m

Coronation Street is the most popular soap in terms of first showings, keeping hold of its No. 1 title since 2002. Compared to last year’s average at the same point, Corrie’s ratings are up 2%, EastEnders has gained 13% and Emmerdale’s up 10%.

Due to ‘Enders big year-on-year surge, the gap between itself and Corrie is the smallest since 2002. For e.g. just a couple of years ago, there was a gap of 1.1m between the two shows. The trend suggests that by this time next year, EastEnders may well be ahead.

Both EastEnders and Emmerdale are having very strong years. It’s EastEnders’ highest average since 2005 and Emmerdale’s best since 2007. Considering soap ratings have been declining since 2003, I think it's a massive achievement for both shows.

Emmerdale’s average doesn’t include HD because its HD figures rarely chart in BARB's weekly lists but as an estimation you could add an additional ~100k to its average if you were to include HD.

As for who’ll end up top come the end of the year, I think it’s too close to call. Corrie has its 50th Anniversary which should give it a boost but EastEnders traditionally rates very well in Christmas. So I guess we’ll see what happens.

But one wonders why Daybreak's ratings stay consistent (not great, but still not 'disaster' territory) with AI's like that?

Everything seems up on last week which is good to see. BBC1 had an excellent night with EE pulling in a huge share. The return of Kat & Alfie seems to be boosting things more than people think. Holby as solid as ever and about a million more than expected for Lost Land. BBC News also pulling in a good rating, compared to how its been rating lately.

Another awful day for BBC2, with only the 8pm hour performing well. The School Season has not performed well at all.

Surprised to see 71 Degrees increase, but ITV will be relieved and anything above 3m is good on Tuesdays!

All of CH4's primetime shows above 2m which will also be a relief, especially for Ramsay's show which is a 12 parter.

I think breakfast TV is more of a habitual thing...if I was to give my breakfast (a hastily consumed banana) an AI rating it would be around the 60 mark, but it does its job and I don't have the time or the inclination at that point in the day to search out anything better

Which makes me wonder where they would expect any additional viewers to come from - given that they have decided to present more or less the same 'atmosphere' as the previous show it's unlikely to tempt over any new viewers habituated to radio or the BBC, unless they were expecting a vast untapped reservoir of previously sleeping Chrisrian (Adrine?) fans to suddenly start tuning in.

The AI's thing does show how useless this concept is nowadays.

With so many channels around people usually don't watch programmes they don't like, the result is an AI that is almost always in the 80s

Even one-offs like films tend to get high AI since people just change channel if they don't like it.


Breakfast TV is a special case since at that time there are few breakfast TV options so you can imagine that people who are not keen on BBC/Sky and previously watched GMTV might continue watching when they really don't like it that much.

The papers (and a few posters) expected to see dramatic changes overnight when change was always more likely to be glacial.

If there was NO change in the breakfast tv audience the BBC would never have overtaken ITV. So change does happen - but slowly.

Some good news I'm sure you'll agree: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010...r-not-buy-axed

The BBC1 property show To Buy or Not to Buy has been axed and the channel is also to phase out US imports such as Diagnosis Murder and Murder She Wrote from daytime.

C4 extends Million Pound Drop:
Channel 4 game show The Million Pound Drop – Live will be extended into a weekly series after a second run of stripped episodes.

The new series, produced by Endemol-owned Remarkable Television and hosted by Davina McCall, will be stripped across one week when it returns in October. A further four episodes will air in the following weeks.

The first series aired over six consecutive nights on C4 at the end of May, averaging 2.2m viewers in a 10pm slot.

The new run will attempt to build on the success of the play-along online game that allowed viewers to play alongside the contestants with virtual money. It attracted 450,000 visitors, who played 3.5m times during the run.

New ITV sitcoms in development:
BROADCAST COMEDY FORUM: ITV1 is eyeing a sitcom from Royle Family writer Caroline Aherne and Jeff Pope as it seeks to broaden its scripted comedy output beyond Benidorm.

The pair, who co-wrote last year’s one-off comedy drama The Fattest Man in Britain for ITV1, are “quite well advanced in development” on an idea that could air next year, according to ITV1 head of entertainment and comedy Elaine Bedell.

Hat Trick is also in advance stages of a potential returning series for the channel, Bedell told the Broadcast Comedy Forum this morning (22 Sep).

Benidorm is currently the only returning sitcom on ITV1 and Bedell said she was now planning in earnest to commission more.

As well as the 9pm Friday slot in which Benidorm airs, ITV1 is looking at the 9pm Saturday night slot to give new shows a strong lead-in from big hits such as The X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent.

The slot will also allow for more flexible running times than on weeknights and Bedell signalled a desire to launch shows in a 45-minute format and then developing them for a 60-minute slot for their second series. She ruled out any 30-minute scripted comedy shows for the foreseeable future.

“We will probably launch some sitcoms in that slot,” she said. “We’re slightly exposed and without having to fill a 60-minute slot, it will be a slightly less scary place to be.”

Bedell also confirmed that ITV1 was still hunting panel shows and stand-up formats, as well as a new way of presenting animated topical comedy for Sunday nights.

C4 extends Million Pound Drop:
I'm not sure it will work as well if its weekly. It will only work if its new contestants each week, in which case it would have to be recorded.

I wonder where the GMTV viewers have gone as Sky News Sunrise' audience is virtually unchanged at 156,000 and BBC Breakfast also does not seem to have gathered any significant numbers. I wonder if they are now lost to TV,gone to radio or are buried deep in their newspapers.

Sky News has gone up 4% which could account for a few viewers whilst as GMTV was sinking, BBC Breakfast started going up. It used to be more or less 1.2m for BBC vs 1m for GMTV whereas eventually it became 0.8m v 1.4m which probably accounts for the rest. Also some lost viewers might just not bother with TV news and either listen to the radio, put on a music channel or maybe even not bothering with anything at all in the morning.

Confirmed:

Saturday 2nd October 2010
5:30pm Walk on the Wild Side
6:00pm Strictly Come Dancing
7:05pm Merlin
7:50pm The National Lottery: In It to Win It
8:40pm Casualty
9:30pm Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow
10:15pm BBC News
10:30pm Match of the Day

Documentary Kids in Care on 5th October at 9:00pm. The Apprentice, confirmed, back on 6th October at 9:00pm, with Motorway Cops on 7th October at 9:00pm.

The rumoured schedule from a few weeks back having The X Factor on 2nd October as 115 minutes long is actually true: http://www.itv.com/presscentre/xfact...0/default.html

And as thus:

Saturday 2nd October 2010
5:20pm Britain Does The Funniest Things
6:20pm All Star Family Fortunes
7:05pm The X Factor
9:00pm When Piers Met

So ITV's primetime on 2nd October starts earlier than BBC's... for some surprising reason, but I really think ITV's schedule needs to move an hour completely. It does mean nearly 3 and a half hours of X Factor in a weekend, I think a certain someone here might compare that to the final weekend from December last year...

Yeah I agree TXF should start at 8pm, as 7.05pm is alittle early IMO. Didn't the live shows last year run from 8-10pm? It was a solid slot and allowed for massive audiences. I wonder why it's so long?! This is the Judges homes section, yes?
