The Sun said it returns to C4 on Sunday 17th October, so I'm guessing it'll return to a "first look" arrangement with the next episode following on E4, then repeated on the Friday by the looks of it.

I wonder if Adrian and Christine will be begging for their jobs back on the One Show. Adrian's grouchy, blokeish personality surely isn't right for an ITV breakfast show.

Anyone here think Downton Abbey could increase tonight, given ITV have done the clever tactic of repeating episode 1 this afternoon?

I think the only new BBC1/ITV1 weekly drama series since 2007 to actually increase its rating for episode two was Britannia High, and that only happened due to the 2nd episode following on from a massive F1 rating (the race Hamilton clinched the title iirc). Most dramas tend to drop off more than 10% for episode two, especially ITV ones which are prone to dropping off 20%+. Downton Abbey was quite well received so it'll be less of a drop compared to most dramas; I predict about 10% which would be about the same as Lark Rise to Candleford, the last big period drama to launch. If it manages to increase its rating, that would be an exceptional achievement, but I think it's v. unlikely to happen. Quote:

X Factor is up by a massive 1.8m with a big increase in audience share. Casualty is down, due to the bigger overlap with XF. In It To Win it has about half the audience the second hour of last year's SCD got. And, Walk on the Wild Side is way down on Hole in the Wall, cos it's crap.

nice to see the audience holding up for MOTD, 3.5 million is very good in this slot and shows the programme is still essential viewing.

Strictly Come Dancing did brilliantly for BBC1 and seemed to boost the schedule around it. ITV had a strong night with The X Factor and Piers Morgan but Family Fortunes did very poorly and I hope that's not a prelude to how the Harry Hill hour performs next week. The X Factor is performing fantastically but I wonder how the long running of the show will harm it next week.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- By the way, to add something else to the Daybreak debacle, I read in the Daily Mail today that ITV are paying the Coorporation of London money to keep St. Paul's Dome lit up for longer than usual, so they have the 'brilliant' backdrop behind Adrian and Christine in the morning. All that money used when they could've just kept GMTV... |

Wow XF going to ads after 3 mins. It's going to be a long night.
Odd as last night's show was longer and didn't feel overloaded with ads. |

So "A big Twist" confirmed at the end of The XF - surely it can only be a wildcard?

On the face of it a really bizarre decision by The X Factor not to put Gamu through to the live shows. She was clearly very uniquely talented and had a strong following. You only have to look at the 2.5m hits for her audition on YouTube to see that. In comparison, Katie, who did manage to secure a top 12 place, only had 1.6m.
But then I sat and thought some more about it and it became apparent that this was probably designed to generate lots of interest in the wildcard next week. On top of that everything else was utterly predictable, so it probably needed a shock like this to get people talking and the newspapers excited. |

it could be a crossover with X-Factor Australia, try and boost the ratings of its international cousin.
![]() Although just thinking In the final scenes when it announced the "Twist" there was a silhouette of a man standing in the distance. New judge? |

Not sure if I should put this in spoilers or not but I think the wild card suggestion is pretty widely known at this stage.
Apparently the 4 wild card acts, one for each category, have already been chosen. Slightly surprising as you would think they would like the drama of choosing them live on air. There is not a fifth judge. What it does mean is that with 16 acts there will presumably have to be 2 acts sent home on a few of the Sunday results shows. Should also be noted that the wild cards were chosen a while back so they will be prepared to sing on Saturday and the decision won't be based on any public 'outrage' about certain decisions tonight. |

I think they need to make sure the wildcards are actually good. If their wildcard pick joins in week 2 and goes out the same night then it's going to look like a colossal waste of time! I think both the girls & boys categories have "leftovers" that will get through that way. The groups & overs aren't so strong. The top 12 already looks pretty good, certainly from a TV perspective. Every category has far more distinct personalities than last year. |

I think really they should have revealed the four acts tonight and have a vote throughout the week. * Actually, that source is one uncredited post on another forum saying that's the case - so as I said, more reliable than the Daily Star! |

Apparently Christine is going to be presenting The Biggest Loser which is airing in primetime on ITV next year.

I still haven't caught up with the first episode yet but I'm glad to see Downton Abbey is getting great feedback on here once again. Hopefully that's reflected in the ratings and ITV start taking more risks on quality commissions like this.

Wonder might Daybreak's big showbiz announcement tomorrow be related to the XF wild cards?
