From 10PM tomorrow, ITV1 waves a white flag until janurary
![]() There's rather too much plodding pensioner drama (Poirot and Marple), but some promising stuff too and a smattering of good movies too in decent slots. I can well see me watching a fair bit of ITV1 this year given BBC1's somewhat perplexing schedule. Quote:
people like Fiona Phillips who wonders what on earth she will find to do next weekend
In my view, the SCD Final, SPOTY and The Apprentice Final offers more than a 4 hour pad-fest to determine which of Cowell's non-entities gets the Christmas No 1 slot by murdering some other artist's workmanship. "BBC1's Big Weekend of Winners" - SCD, SPOTY, Apprentice. That's something to get excited about! |

I'll go with:
SCD 10.5m (on far too early, off too early to get the usual benefit of the big peaks it gets post 7pm, and totally overshadowed by the other big show on tonight) TXF 16m - benefits from BBC1 not turning up. Like one of those nights in the late seventies when either BBC1 or ITV was on strike and trash like Sale of the Century got 23m. TMO 9.6m - key is to how quickly the TXF audience melts away. I think The X Factor will claim around 13m and Take Me Out around 6m. The X Factor had an earlier start which may dent ratings while Take Me Out won't hold on to more that 50% of the audience.

Actually, this Christmas on ITV1 doesn't look bad at all.

What a disaster! Any old panel show repeat could pull triple that. Then again, he's a dismal 'comedian'... And I think they've both got competition from another pathetic Channel 4 showing. The Event is a complete flop, Peep Show is limping, and Robert Webb's hideously derivative offering (I thought he was better than that) is failing too. Plenty going wrong on Friday nights at the moment, then.

I'm fed up with these pompous people who keep going on about how much better American drama is than British. As Ben Stephenson pointed out in the Radio Times a few months back, they have a very narrow range of dramas. They're incapable of doing one-offs or short serials. Everything has to run for 20+ episodes a year for at least 5 years. There are too many of these high-concept dramas, they're all up their own arses and they all drag on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and.....

I think The X Factor's rating may be dragged down by the filler from 8.30. Same for Strictly, which had filler from around quarter to 7.

Take Me Out started at 21:04 tonight.
Some signs that X Factor did well: DS is beginning to crash and all 10 trends on Twitter in the UK are X Factor related. No doubt that we'll get that report in a few hours of X shopping centre or Y motorway being dead, corroborating to high ratings.

The Sunday show is made up of so called "filler" though.

True, but it feels a bit different when it's attached to a main show. It's probably just me.
![]() The Sunday show is an entertainment show in its own right and it's always building up to the big final showdown so you sort of tolerate the stuff before it. I don't think the final worked stripped across two nights last year and my opinion hasn't changed this year. Nobody really cares about who comes 4th so it's not a result I'm going to get excited about. |

Well on the basis of this week's figures you'd have to say Stephen K Amos as it had the lowest share. But The Event was probably the most expensive and had by far the most promotion, so it really depends what you judge it on. |

It's more advertising revenue though at the end of the day for ITV by having it across 2 days and 4 hours long.

This would have been a better ITV1 schedule for the weekend...
Saturday 11th December 18:00 You've Been Framed! 19:00 This is JLS 20:00 Take Me Out 21:00 Life Stories: Cheryl Cole (R) Sunday 12th December 19:00 The X Factor: Live Final 21:00 Sitcom Pilot (would easily win its slot, even if it was tripe) 21:25 Primeval Preview (3 minute preview of the new series, capturing the interest of 9m+ viewers) 21:30 The X Factor: Winner Announced (no need to be any longer than 60 min) 22:30 Piers Meets Elton Only disadvantage is Take Me Out would lose its big lead-in. But to be honest I think that show was always going to do okay anyway, it rated well enough for its first series. Loss in ad revenue could also be a problem but presumably with less spots available and so much demand they would be able to charge more per ad. |

I feel the same.

I don't think the final worked stripped across two nights last year and my opinion hasn't changed this year. Nobody really cares about who comes 4th so it's not a result I'm going to get excited about. I'd have eliminated two acts last week, had three performances from the three acts tonight with the first elimination at the beginning of tomorrows show and then as last year a further couple of performances from the remaining two. In the grand scheme of things I think 2x2 hours is absolutely fine for the final when you consider how the length of shows in earlier rounds has also increased over the last couple of years especially - they're basically only really adding 60 minutes on to the regular show length. |

Question: Will the final three get to perform their winner's singles before an act is eliminated or will it just be the final two who get to perform theirs?

They usually have the third place vote, then the final two sing their winner's song before the lines close for the last time. |

Loss in ad revenue could also be a problem but presumably with less spots available and so much demand they would be able to charge more per ad. That's a big big disadvantage. Plus, I think the Saturday schedule is weak. I reckon even with an XF lift at the end, JLS won't do well and I'm quite pleased that TMO got an XF lead-in. The current format isn't ideal. But I'm not sure what would be a perfect solution. 4 in the final means that tomorrows show has more content than last year. I'd expect the top 3 to perform (their audition song?) then an elimination and then the winners songs. The other thing is that to get Christina/Rihanna on the show for the duets, you have to give them performance slots and a Saturday elimination creates an opportunity for that. |

BBC1 raises the white flag in an hour from now. TXF has a complete free run this year, both nights.
It will fill its boots as a result - 16m tonight. Easy. |

XFactor 11.12.2010 peaks 14.2m (does not include HD)
HD averaged 1m peaked 1.2m. |

All times are GMT. The time now is 11:34.





I think The X Factor will claim around 13m and Take Me Out around 6m. The X Factor had an earlier start which may dent ratings while Take Me Out won't hold on to more that 50% of the audience.
