Now to quote Pizza:
I believe that all 16 episodes were ordered and filmed as one big series but ITV decided to split them. They ran 10x90 minute episodes in 2007 so the 16x60 order was about the same so I guess either La Plante knew she'd had enough so ITV held back the remaining 6 for one last series (as I believe the original plan was to air them in one go) or ITV saw it was flagging against Ashes To Ashes (which whacked about 1.5m off it) in 2008 and decided end the run early and hold the last 6 back to face easier competition.

BBC3 and BBC4 can afford to lose shows to their parents - ITV2 and E4 can't really. Remember too ITV2 and E4 also have to be sold to advertisers, and if the hits the channel are built around are continuously stolen, it's going to be more difficult to sell those ad spaces. We've seen this week how The Inbetweeners put on 1m viewers on the last series without moving channels. Nobody knows for sure how it would have performed on C4 - but possible it could have got exactly the same rating and we'd all be saying how the promotion had doubled it's audience, when in reality that would have happened anyway without moving anywhere. ITV2 doesn't really have that many shows that would be suitable for ITV1 anyway, but if ITV2 can be as successful as it is with films, a few cheap documentaries and ITV1 repeats then stripping big shows from E4 wouldn't harm the channel. Meanwhile, E4 could continue to build up the next big show for the move. Glee and Inbetweeners are capable of getting over 3m on Channel 4, which if I'm not mistaken is seen as a moderate success for ITV1 during the week these days, so yes, they would be able to rival ITV1 in some form. |

Amazing as always for XF, head and shoulders above the rest.
The percentage share seems to be dropping closer to the 40% mark rather than the 50% mark. Nothing suggests to me that EastEnders' position in the 2010 Top 10 is in jeopardy just yet. Quote:
For RobbieSykes, it seems Total Wipeout are going down the You've Been Framed route, calling it 'All New'...so, whatever you say about YBF again, it'll be a bit pot and kettle

10-11 million might be the limit for the auditions but certainly not for the live shows. Last year there were 10 Sunday live shows including the final - 8 had 13million or higher and 3 of that 8 had over 14million in the overnight averages.
So far we've only had Saturday shows, I think tonight we could see a real increase with the start of the Sunday shows. ![]() (Described as "Bland of Brothers" in one paper today - sounds about right... )

Not really gathering momentum though is it, despite the summer holidays ending, everyone being back to work and school, autumn arriving and the nights drawing in?

Exceptionally good for The X Factor, which seems to be very stable between 10.5m-11m (save one week). I guess ITV are more than happy with the profits that the show brings in and saving money with the rest but really should be speculating to acculumate rather than holding on to using none offs with the lead in. Phil Collins and You've Been Framed didn't do that brilliantly anyway. BBC1 had a reasonable night, though it'd be good for them if they could move Casualty out of the firing line of The XFactor as it's not hitting the heights it could. Merlin performed ok - it's a shame it didn't get 01.m to hit 5m.

X Factor this year is rating higher than last year with last nights equivalent 2009 episode getting 9.3m and a 38% share. Last years final got 16.3m, I wouldn't be so sure that Eastenders will be top of that list ...

Presumably it's on tonight only to flatten BBC1's flagship Battle of Britain documentary and give a decent lead-in to ITV's own Robson "Ratings Gold" Green drama? ![]()

Friday 17th September Overnights Good to see QI, Rob Brydon and WILTY getting excellent figures. I personally think WILTY has become one of the most consistently funny shows on TV, and I'm delighted the Beeb has been able to stick with it.BBC1 [inc. HD] 20:30- Qi: 4.4m (19.1%) 21:00- New Tricks: 6.7m (30.0%) 22:35- Would I Lie to You?: 3.3m (22.1%) BBC2 22:00- The Rob Brydon Show: 2.4m (12.6%) ITV1 [inc. HD] 20:30- Coronation Street: 7.2m (30.9%) 21:00- Paul O'Grady Live: 3.5m (15.7%) From BBC1's figures, Would I Lie To You rated really well. The highest I can remember it getting in that slot and quite similar to how Jonathan Ross used to rate. Good for QI too. BBC2 rated well from 9pm especially the Rob Brydon Show - well up on what programmes have had in the slot recently. I thought PoG's rating would increase due to the better lead-in compared to last week and weaker competition. Didn't happen. His rating is better than most of ITV's Friday stuff so far this year but a bit 'meh' really. Shame New Tricks slipped back, a brilliant Friday night rating but still up to 2m below what it could be getting on a Sunday or Monday. Hope the timeshift figures will be decent - and any show getting within 0.5m of Corrie can't be doing badly really. POG got no lift at all, surprisingly, despite the stronger (but still fairly mediocre) Corrie lead in. Perhaps he won't reach the 5m mark after all. |

It's 10.35pm slot means it doesn't have to worry as much about ratings as it would in peak viewing. However I notice that its ratings on Friday was just 0.2m less than Paul O'Grady got in peak and the same figure that the once mighty Millionaire got at 8pm last Tuesday. It would be nice if the new controller of BBC1 (there is a vacancy. Where can one get an application form around here? ) would avoid judging programmes purely on ratings and put WILTY back into a peak slot.

If it was turned around too they'd be of little value to E4 repeating Glee and The Inbetweeners from C4. In the case of such shows, a premiere on E4 followed by a repeat on C4 is probably overall more lucrative for C4 as a whole than vice versa. |

Looking at this BBC1 schedule for next Saturday....
7.00 Merlin 7.45 In It To Win It 8.35 Casualty 9.25 Michael McIntyre 10.10 News 10.30 Match Of The Day ....there doesn't seem to be much room for long editions of Strictly. Perhaps they're planning to move the news to 11.50 after MOTD. Also the news could possibly be slghtly shortened (though probably the early evening news would then need extending at the expense of Final Score) |

Wow new thread already. When will the officials be out, is it tommorow? Cant wait to see the inbetweeners ratings.

A bit boring IMO I think it is good for 7-7.5m, and given how some on here have been hyping this as one of the main Autumn highlights, it won't just be at ITV Towers where there will be disappointment if it comes in below that. I've seen all the ITV trails for Maydaybreak's big Ricky Hatton (the Manc scally boxer for those who don't know) interview tomorrow. How many of the core Hatton fan club will be up and tuning in to breakfast TV, 6am-8.30am? Not sure it will give the show a ratings boost where Tony Blair and Prince Charles failed. |

It will delight the Heartbeat/Foyle's War audience, so should be good for 6m at a bare minimum. With the TXF lead in, it should start with significantly more than that - then it's a case, as ever, of how quickly the TXF crowd bother to switch over/off.
I think it is good for 7-7.5m, and given how some on here have been hyping this as one of the main Autumn highlights, it won't just be at ITV Towers where there will be disappointment if it comes in below that. For the record, the average prediction for it on the ratings game by nearly 30 people was 5.4m. You obviously have very high expectations for it... |

Typical RobbieSykes - overpredicting ITV ratings yet again! I'm sure you know it's not going to get that sort of rating, especially after last week's David Jason drama didn't even get 5m. But in typical fashion, you'll come here tomorrow saying that it underperformed or if somehow it does rate around the 7m mark which is very unlikely, you'll just say it was what you expected and that it should've got even more!

One might say you were doing exactly the same, but from the other side of the fence...
The David Jason drama last week didn't even get 5m so what are the chances of this one getting the 7.5m that you're expecting? Very unlikely, when weighing up the facts. Even the most hyped BBC dramas rarely get 7.5m in the overnights these days. And I don't know why you're pointing me out since almost 30 other people have also predicted it to get around 5-6m. I don't have any pro-channel/anti-channel agenda, unlike yourself. I know people have channel preferences which is fair enough but jeez.... you do go over the top (more than anyone else on here!) |

Is that good or bad for TXF? Xtra Factor rated appaullingly on 7Two! Didn't Heartbeat get something like 300k in the same slot last week!
Good rating for JM I think, although quite a bit down from last week. So purely in the context of how it has rated so far and the competition it faced last night, it's not a bad result for The X Factor. But I'm loathed to call it good for such an expensive high-profile show. At 1.1m it's hardly the appointment-to-view TV Seven were hoping for and could be achieved much more cheaply with factual fare like Border Security. And The Xtra Factor seems to have posted a really bad result, not making the OzTam top 50. Exact figures are not out yet, however I'm expecting it to fall somewhere in the region of 70-80k. The last ever Heartbeat did indeed clear 300k in a similar slot. |

If only X-Factor would flop like that over here, this thread would be alot more fun
![]() All joking aside, the average results for X-Factor, are just as strange as Junior MasterChef winning the night (or the week, last weeks ratings peroid) seriously has TEN found a way to broadcast crack along with MasterChef? As for Xtra Factor, maybe the world just isnt ready for that kind of show. However when ELEVEN launches TEN could try one for MasterChef (not sure what it would be called) |
