But I'm not going to wish any show off air because a) I don't like it and b) it harms a show's rating that I likes.
The Peep Show having a dip yesterday is not going to have a long term effect on its future. Channel 4 will understand it was up against a 90 minute I'm A Celebrity... and consider the rating accordingly. Though it should see a boost next week as I'm A Celebrity... is airing 8.30-10.”
I'm not really following it this series but I don't dislike I'm A Celebrity as such, it's fine for what it is, it just irks me how much of an impact it is having on everything else. It's not
that good to warrant nothing else getting a look in for the best part of 3 weeks! I suppose it's light-hearted easy going viewing and that's why people gravitate towards it. I'm not really wishing it off air, that comment wasn't meant to be taken too literally, but I certainly won't miss it when it comes to an end! ITV might I suspect. Personally I'm looking forward to a bit of ratings normality. And by that I don't necessarily mean ITV1 doing not so well, but just more of a level playing field.
It's just Peep Show by the way, not The Peep Show. You should have a peep yourself, it's rather good.
