EastEnders probably would have been ahead of Corrie had it not been for the time shifts. It started 4 minutes early last night. The BBC need to stop doing this.
Good for Strictly. |

It's not often that ITV deserve praise for their promo's but the one I just saw for Downton Abbey was pretty impressive.

Noticed a SYTYCD audition promo straight after Strictly tonight. Not sure if X Factor maybe dented by the early start, I don't think it will because it may capitalise on the channel hoppers straight after Strictly.

I'm sure someone will come to this thread and tick me off for even mentioning it (
) but has there ever been a show that has shown the growth that X Factor has, now a full seven years later? I know shows have shown year on year growth but looking back those figures are minuscule compared to now.Quote:
I think we can pretty much say that SYTYCD will definitely be coming back now.

Nigel Lythgoe said on Twitter that he is still judging this year despite the fact that the live American Idol shows begin in February and he is returning as Executive Producer & co-showrunner.

Only Fools and Horses is a show which had a massive surge of viewers throughout. Series averages for it were:
1981- 7.7m 1982- 8.9m 1983- 10.5m 1985- 15.2m 1986- 16.0m 1986-1988- 16.6m (Christmas specials) 1989- 16.7m 1989-1990- 19.1m (Christmas specials) 1990- 16.8m 1991-1993- 19.1m (Christmas specials) 1996- 22.3m (Christmas specials) 2001-2003- 17.4m (Christmas specials) Basically, the audience nearly trebled in 10 years! In terms of recent years, I don't think there's been a show in primetime which has grown as much as TXF. The ratings series six -the first of the 50 minutes episodes broadcast at 7.15 on Sunday nights are as follows: Yuppy Love 13.9 million (the famous fall scene) Danger UXD 16.1 Chain Gang 16.3 The Unlucky Winner Is... 17.0 Sickness And Wealth 18.2 Little Problems 18.9 (Rodneys wedding) IMO this is the strongest six episode comedy ever-so many great moments. Interestingly the Chrismas special "A Royal Flush", which is suggested as the worst example of OFAH achieved 18.8 million. |

No surprise Strictly did well, the lineup is far better than last years, and it was a good decision to launch the show at Friday at 9pm, when there is little competition.
how long before ITV shift Paul O'Grady back to teatime? I think his recent ratings show his audience are mainly old and simply don't watch TV at this time. The lineup of guests have been good, so that can't be the issue. As for dear old POG, it doesn't surprise me his show is watched by the demographic advertisers don't want- elderly C2DE, possibly hardened ITV1 viewers who switch on for their soaps and don't change channels again. I know he left Channel 4 for money reasons, but might the type of end of the pier style show he did not attract the demos C4 like in this slot, ABC1 middle aged. |

BTW, The Sun's TV magazine today reveals the first 'special guest' on The X Factor next weekend is Joe McElderry. Not sure if that's for the Saturday show or the Sunday show.

Yes I really enjoyed tonght's and last night's and the inclusion of Paul Daniels and Anne Widdecombe was a good choice, as people will watch to see how good/bad they are. Also the set, the musicians and the graphics were first rate. I think this year, while it won't surpass the X Factor in the ratings, 9 million is possible each week.

You are going on about demographics again in a snobbish manner. AB viewers probably watch very little TV at all and C2DE viewers probably make up most of the country Why did ITV want P O'G back and in prime time if all his viewers are so unattractive to advertisers? |

Just noticed Alan Sugar is trending worldwide on Twitter. I just know Piers will brag if the show does a good rating tonight... until he realises viewers are tuning in to see the guest and not himself.

(And the same can be said of Philip Schofield too) |

Hardly a 'reveal'. The previous winner always appears on the first live show. It'll be the Sunday results.
Cheryl will presumably sing her new single, Dannii hers (although I havn't heard a release date yet), and I wouldn't be surprised to see JLS/Olly/Diana Vickers/Shayne Ward/Alexandra popping up at some point. |

The interesting one will be who the other guest is. Last year it was Alexandra and Robbie. I thought it might be Joe and Kylie this time. Can't think of many other big acts flogging singles right now. I'm assuming they will continue to have 2 guest a week as I think that worked well last year and kept results show moving fast.

Yeah, two guests definitely worked well last year and stopped the results show from feeling like it was being padded out unnecessarily. There's been no indication of who the other guest will be. They may well promote it at the end of tomorrow night's show though!

Assuming they have some kind of wildcard section on Saturday night (and I don't know if they will), they may use some of the results show on Sunday to do the results of that? So they'd only have one guest.

Fantastic for Strictly Come Dancing; I'm assuming it'll dip tonight because of the earlier start. The X Factor didn't seem to have so many adverts in it tonight (it probably did; it just didn't feel like it), I wonder whether the 'pace' of the show may help it.
EastEnders and Coronation Street did ok but it's amazing how the audience can dip during the week only to return again on Monday. Paul O'Grady was hurt by Strictly but will recover next week against NewTricks. |

Good night for FIVE there, apart from the obvious. The news at 5 performs really well-almost 1m is great and its established itself as a really good bulletin.

Also, by my reckoning, there have been two extra half-hours of EastEnders this year, presumably as it's the 25th anniversary year. Maybe, there'll be another one this autumn, or maybe they'll add one to the Christmas fortnight, to give 12 eps instead of the usual 11?
Or maybe there won't be any extra ones at all? |
