I like Jason but I think the tabloid attention was probably getting to him which is a shame but I'm sure he'll be fine as he's a successful standup and he's got other gigs like 8 Out of 10 Cats. Matt Baker is a shoe in and he's always come off well on TV but I wonder if he'll have to quit Countryfile or could they schedule it so he can do both?
He and Konnie Huq have had successful post Blue Peter career, is Simon Thomas doing television, I know Liz is now a full time mum and Katy Hill does the odd bit of telly work. I think TOS was gaining several hundred thousand viewers when Matt took over whilst Jason was doing his comedy show a week or two back (although I stand to be corrected). |

Jason Manford has resigned from The One Show according to some unconfirmed reports due to some new stories in the papers about what he's been getting up to on Twitter...
I wonder who'll replace him on The One Show and how the press coverage will affect TOS's ratings in the next few days? Edit: The BBC has now confirmed he's left The One Show. ![]() Last night: Emmerdale did well considering the lead out didn't exactly offer a crossover audience. The football dropped at half time and didn't really recover - I think England football is in the doldrums at the moment. BBC1 did well throughout the night except the 8pm hour which is not taking advantage of the lack of opposition. I expect Coronation Street to see a boost tonight compared to usual Thursday nights as it started on the hour, rather than half past. I'm A Celebrity... may be hit slightly in comparison but I don't think severely. It'll be interesting to see how BBC1 does from 8pm onwards though any dip won't be serious considering the opposition. |

Matt Baker has to get the gig now surely. Ticks every single box and certain not to cause any problems.

Simon Thomas co-presents on Sky Sports News.
Ironically, Richard Bacon is probably one of the more successful BP presenters and he was sacked! |

I always said that Manford would not last on the programme. |

the good thing about Matt being on Strictly Come Dancing is that his "star" will have risen, for him joining the One Show full time, to appear like news.

Jason Manford was never the right person for the show, a young edgy comedian hosting such a cosy very-PC BBC show.

As others have said, Matt Baker looks like the odds-on favourite to replace him but with his Strictly commitments at the moment, maybe he won't be able to start full time until the New Year.
But he will probably be able to get out of it |

at the football!6.3m for England v France! ![]() I don't know what's more embarrassing - the p1ss poor performances on the pitch, in the studio or in the ratings! ![]() Chiles must wonder where it all went wrong. Not only is his own career on the skids since he defected, but the fortunes of the national side have nosedived since the day he jumped ship. I hear a new job opportunity may have come up this evening though, which may interest him... ![]() Anyone know when an England international - the actual match itself, not pre/post - was last outrated by something on the other side? I know I can't... Quote:
I can sort of see now why the ITV Special aired at 7pm, because it was their exclusive...
![]() Quote:
DigiGuide has updated. Are ITV going to repeat Coronation Street Live on ITV1 just a couple of hours after it has aired?
![]() Seems like it... Quote:
Very solid once again for The Apprentice. It's not taken off in the overnights this year (I think its struggling for tabloid space, and hence, buzz) but it timeshifts very well, so the average for the first 5 episodes was just minutely below 2009 (7.98m vs 8.02m). Thats pretty strong considering ITV have been running 2 hour dramas and events against it to good effect.
Your second reason is correct - the tougher ITV competition it has faced this year compared to the sprine/summer 2009 slot. It probably should have done better in a dark, cold winter slot - but the tougher competition has balanced that out. I expect the final to rate very well in the post TXF Final/pre Christmas slot - possibly > than the 10m from last time. Do we assume Apprentice Night will be Wednesday 22nd December? Quote:
Looking at the schedules for week beginning 12th December, the only possible slot I can find for the Royal Variety Performance is Sunday at 8pm, displacing Antiques Roadshow. Can't find anywhere during the week it can go without displacing an episode of EastEnders or Holby City.
That could be a very interesting battle - X Factor Final vs Royal Variety Peformance... But it would be a waste for BBC1 of show capable of up to 9m in a less competitive slot. Quote:
So, live for your delectation a week next Saturday at 12.50pm, LIVE and EXCLUSIVE on ITV1, it's the big one...
AFC Wimbledon vs Stevenage ![]() ![]() Quote:
Perrin ended tonight with a final scene which begged for another series that Im assuming will not happen. If they had:
0 -not linked it to Perrin -made it a proper comedy drama -got rid of the dafter characters they would have had a potential original hit-Martin Clunes and Fay Ripley make a good tv couple and perhaps rather wasted trying to remake something iconic To all the people who slagged this excellent series off and refused to watch it - your loss. Quote:
Three cheers for Prince William and Kate Middleton who have performed a modern miracle in knocking the X Factor off the front pages of the tabloids-only that, a moon landing or a nuclear holocaust could achieve the same feat.
http://news.sky.com/sky-news/content...3/15818045.jpg It wouldn't surprise me if The One Show has actually generated more newspaper front page stories in 2010 than Cowell's singing contest. Anyway, hopefully the core TXF viewership will assume it has finished, given the absence of front page coverage. ![]() I suspect most of them have the memory of a goldfish, so this is possible...

That said the name "Matt Baker" makes it sounds like he should be a Doctor Who actor. |

I can't see how Matt Baker could hold down The One Show (even for 4 days) and Countryfile, especially considering the amount of travel the latter demands from him.
Depends where the BBC decide he's of most use, I suppose, but personally I'd be inclined not to mess with a winning formula on Countryfile. There's plently of options. There's quite a pool of similar, amiable, competent ex-Blue Peter types who'd be more than fine for The One Show. Gethin Jones, perhaps. Though maybe thats too many Welsh accents on one show...! |

They both only do around one report an episode now and then a small follow up. The rest of the show is filled with the other contributors. |

ITV1 really blocked BBC1 off last night. It's been a long time since an EE V Emmerdale clash had such a large gap. Emmerdale around 7.5m inc HD is pretty much what we'd expect for a normal Thursday episode so wasn't really dented. I thought EE would hold up better tbh. Corrie got a slight boost from last Thursday, but nothing major-prob around 0.5m inc HD. IAC performed virtually the same as Tuesday (DS posted 8.7m inc HD) and it's holding up extremely well. It's annoying that ITV don't bundle their HD figures into the main channel figure, because HD is becoming more significant now, especially with the big events which ITV have more of (BGT, XF, IAC, Corrie).
Watchdog did well for BBC1, but apart from that everything seemed to fall apart. Great start for Beeny's new show on CH4 considering the competition. I just wish they'd treat their popular shows well and schedule them well. |

Extremely disappointing for Misfits. Maybe it's always destined to be a niche drama but it deserves bigger ratings. It's that good.
