A bit of an uninformed comment since the ABC1 reach of ITV2 exceeds BBC4 most nights.
Some people like to look down their nose at so called "trash tv" but a large number of people like a mix of serious stuff & fluff. |

I think he is effectively curtailing himself to daytime hours now but Jon Craig & Joey Jones appearing more outside of the 9-5 hours (unless there is a really big story breaking)
That's assuming they are not changing the format of Sunday Live, or doing away with it altogether. |

It will start as Boulton & Co but like always it will end up being presented by anyone who is around.
Does anyone else watch Martin Stanford now in the evenings and think how pissed off he looks now his "geeky computer show" has been dropped. When I saw it it reminded me of a man who had reached his 50's but couldn't admit it and thought he was "Cool" and in touch with the "modern" youth. It was a terrible show and should never have been on weekday evening prime time Sky's admission they couldn't compete with Channel Four News, Jeff Randall is one of Sky News' best additions. |

I do agree to an extent with Dancc's comments that they might be better off simplifying the daytime line up by just extending either the Sky News Today or Afternoon Live formats and leaving more specialists show like Jeff's and now Adam's to prime time. However I guess they feel having differing formats is a good alternative to the BBC. Nonetheless I look forward to seeing what they come up with, I don't think the Live Desk format has aged well (although I do rate Colin Brazier.) |

Ben Shepherd presented This Morning with Ruth today as Eammon had to fly home to Ireland to be with his sick mum. They handled the show well.
He is on next week with Holly Willoughby as Philip Schofield has been given two weeks off to fly to the set of I'm A Celebrity. He swears it is only as a 'TV geek' to see the show operating live and that he will only go into the jungle after the show ends but may get some interviews then. Be interesting to see how the BS ratings compare with the PS ones next week. |

Doesn't Adam do enough for Sky News without him needing a five day a week show and a three hour Sunday show plus he's always around when anything political happens.

Maybe its because they are more and more chav elements now in society and of course itv2 is on 24 hours, for the average itv2 viewer who doesn't work they probably sit with it on all day and worship Jeremy Kyle. TV now panders to the lowest dominator as they are the ones who will buy anything they see in the adverts, why the BBC doesn't make as many lavious productions because the new "chav" tier of society are what matters.

Typical viewer will probably be some thick bint who cried when Jade Goody died, sees Jordan as a good role model for young women and whose highlight of the week is going commando to the local nightclub.

Maybe after the Alaistair Campbell incident Sky have decided Adam is doing too much and that maybe why we are see are seeing more of Joey Jones and John Craig.
I hope they give Peter Spencer a bit more work he makes me laugh. I suspect now the new Westminster studios are built they will increase the political team and we may see more new faces. |

I dont think your being totally fair. I know a number of people who watch these sort of programmes and they're certianly not chavs just ordinary, working class people with jobs. They just like a bit of easy viewing in the evenings. To label everyone who dares to watch ITV2 or some BBC3 shows is wrong. Im not denyng that their probably is a large chunk of the audience who are "chavs" as you put it but labelling everyone who watches those shows as them is wrong.
Same applies to you Glenn. Also, calling people thick bints about crying over Jade Goody dying is extremely harsh, she was a human being like you, who died very young and had young children. |

The shows in that digiguide update may be correct but I would expect BBC1 times to change. Im nearly certain that Eastenders wont be clashing with Corrie. From a BBC perspective I wouldnt be keen on giving ITV so many headtstarts with all these 20 past the hour start times. Emmerdale gets 25 minutes up on Doctor Who, Corrie gets 30 minutes up on Eastenders and crucially Benidorm gets 20 minutes up on The Royle Family. The ITV1 schedule may not change form that, everything looks in order and where expected.

Come Rain Come Shine has been confirmed, according to ITV Press Centre, for Sunday 19th Decemeber from 9-11pm. Will be interesting to see how it does in that slot as The Fattest Man in Britain had that slot last year and performedly solidly. Quote:
For all I know she died young, what was she famous for? Two reality shows, now finished, where she was ostracised for being thick and being a racist but in death became some kind of marvellous person even though in about 10 years time people will say Jade who?

Casualty could go out on Monday, I don't imagine they'd want it on Christmas Day or Boxing Day and their Christmas episode would have to go out near Christmas.
As for Christmas Day EE, I would be annonyed if it clashed with Doctor Who: Confidentail, means I would have to record one of them. |

I'll reserve comment on the Xmas Day BBC1 schedule as it will probably change numerous times before Tuesday. ITV's seems confirmed, though. (edit - does anyone have BBC1 updated listings from 18th to 24th for primetime providing DigiGuide has done a full BBC update? Might have a few new gaps filled in) EDIT 2 from another forum... BSI strikes again, or does it? EDIT 3: BBC stripping Upstairs Downstairs? EDIT 4: The Nativity on from Monday 20th to Thursday 23rd at 19:00 Saturday 18th 19:00 - Strictly Final ---> Casualty presumably in middle 21:05 - Strictly Results Sunday 19th 18:00 - Countryfile 19:00 - Sports Personality Of The Year 21:00 - The Apprentice Final 22:00 - You're Hired! Monday 20th 21:00 - Accused Tuesday 21st 21:00 - Accidental Farmer Wednesday 22nd 21:00 - Panorama Thursday 23rd 21:00 - New Tricks (r) Christmas Eve 20:00 - Eastenders 20:30 - My Family 21:30 - QI 22:00 - Have I Got News For You 22:30 - The Graham Norton Show Boxing Day 18:00 - Countryfile 18:30 - Nigel Slater 19:30 - Antiques Roadshow 20:30 - Eastenders 21:00 - Upstairs Downstairs Monday 27th 19:10 - Casualty 20:00 - Eastenders 20:30 - Celebrity Mastermind 21:00 - Upstairs Downstairs Tuesday 28th 19:00 - Celebrity Mastermind 19:30 - Eastenders 20:00 - Holby City 21:00 - Upstairs Downstairs Wednesday 29th 19:00 - Celebrity Mastermind 19:30 - Dig 1940 20:00 - Polar Bear 21:00 - Rock & Chips Thursday 30th 19:00 - Celebrity Mastermind 19:30 - Eastenders 20:00 - DIY SOS 21:00 - Toast New Year's Eve 19:00 - Celeb Mastermind 19:30 - A Question Of Sport 20:00 - Eastenders 20:40 - Jonathan Creek (r) 22:40 - Graham Norton NYE Show I seriously hope we're going to see some of those 9pm slots changing for the 1st week, because that looks like an extremely weak line-up. Hopefully they've done that in the provisionals/updated schedule to throw off the competition. The obvious scheduling decision of note is that it looks like BBC are stripping Upstairs Downstairs across the 3 days. |

It'd be a waste putting their only non-Agatha Christie drama for the Xmas period in that slot. Monday 27th December with a Corrie lead-in would be better. -- As for the provisional BBC1 Xmas Day schedule posted a few posts above, for sure there'll be some changes to those timings. And also I don't think The One Ronnie will get a Christmas Day slot. If it does, I certainly can't see it airing at the heart of primetime (8pm) like the provisional schedule. |
