well done for knowing who I was talking about, I was worried no one would.
However I think it will be on BBC 2. Maybe we should get Chris on CFWM ![]() |

Little Britain was quite successful in Australia and they toured the live show there as well. I imagine Come Fly with Me would do quite well there.
There was that documentry about them going Down Under and there appearnce on Neighbours, the Chaer guys also did a sketch refrencing them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kOQ7gZ-QIk not sure who in Australia has the rights to Come Fly With Me, but my favourtie blog, is providing some coverage http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2010/12/...y-with-me.html |

The first two series of Doc Martin played on Thursdays to big ratings. I reckon series 5 will also be on Thursdays. Or.......
I said before series 4 that ITV could have moved up Tuesday to prop up their weakest day (like BBC1 used The Apprentice to boost their weakest day, Wednesday.) Downton fits Sunday night like a glove. I reckon ITV would only move it if they found a brand new drama that they felt could become a smash-hit with a lead-in from X Factor. Or they could try out a drama on Saturday to cash in on Saturday's big X Factor audience. Downton Abbey - Sunday Doc Martin - Thursday Benidorm - Friday It might be foolish to have Doc Martin and Benidorm - both comedy dramas - on at the same time only one day apart. Having said that, they both appeal to different audiences. Using Doc Martin and Benidorm as anchors, ITV could certainly create a comedy-drama rota on Thursday nights - alongside filler entertainment like Paul O'Grady Live. Friday's, as I've said before, is not a good day for anything - overall viewing is down, particularly among younger viewers which ITV strives for - so why not go ABC1 crazy and have some classic drama between 8pm-10pm. It shouldn't cost much, and it won't do any harm to ITV's reputation - ITV3 dramas on Friday and Saturday's often get over 1m. Downton Abbey will anchor Sunday nights, but if Doc Martin moves to Thursday - what else can? Lewis has a lot of mileage, but I do think Sunday (despite Fudd's reservations) should be given the soap treatment.

The Weakest Link in fairness has not been going 100 years.
![]() Millionaire has also been on for an eternity maybe Andy is sour that Millionaire is nearing the end of its natural while Weakest Link is still a viable show. Staggering considering the ratings Millionaire had at its peak. |

I wouldn't say Dancing on Ice is as 'Daily Star' fodder as I'm A Celebrity. Thought the set was fine, much better than before.
Besides, not sure how you can comment on the set and the standard of the programme when you didn't see the changes made this year? I try to watch DOI every year but it just feels so cheap. This year more than ever. It was rushed to air as ITV's version of Strictly which meant it started with many faults and even with it becoming a mild success they haven't done much to smooth the rough edges since. Having only three judges one of whom is a former Spice Girl who knows bugger all about ice skating just shows the chav appeal of the show. At the start of the show when the 'celebs' skated out to the cheesy music - which took about 15 minutes since there's so many of them - I was cringing. I think I recognised about four of them. In their wisdom ITV decided two people would be voted out on the first show and ironically for them it was two of the few names people would recognise from the line up! |

Yes it's not as in your face and the writing is just as good. This could be the sitcom hit the BBC has been wanting for years now My Family seems to be on its last legs. It also shows Lucas and Walliams want to move on with new shows.

Good ratings for DOI. With HD that is probably its most watched Sunday launch ever. WaH and TSNS also started solidly. BBC1 held up well.

Cheers Mike
![]() So inc HD, DOI will be about the same as last year which is decent enough and at least there was no decline. Though hopefully this year it will continue to increase and not fall like last year. It did look promising at the start, but then it did start to get really tacky with the ''yeah yeahs'' constantly playing over the music and the judging panel looked slightly dodgy. Bunton should have been in the middle-she looked very out of place on the end considering how small she is. The I was shocked to see Karen sitting on a small chair right next to the judging panel ..very humiliating. It went surprisingly quick though and the double elimination helped speed things up I think. The added tacky element did make it look like Ch5's attempt at an entertainment show, but I still couldn't turn it off ...and at least the revamp breathed some much needed life into the show.WAH as solid as ever, but Lark Rise running not too far behind and in general BBC1 held up very well-even Zen put in a decent performance. I caught That Sunday Night Show after DOI and it was surprisingly OK and it definitely has potential. The guests last night worked really well and if it can pull in 3m+ with a DOI lead in then it could do really well with a Saturday night BGT/XF lead in. |

Two programmes presented by Adrian Chiles rating well in one day?
Maybe he's not an expensive flop after all!DoI in that predictable 8-9m range again. Why do so many not come back for the result? Even double eliminations can't stop the massive dip.Good night for BBC One and Two though to be fair, not really affected by what was going on on the other side. In fact at 9pm the combined audience was ahead of ITV1. Films on C4 and C5 did well, especially Princess Bride. |

![]() Super rating there for the FA Cup. Unsurprisingly good evening for ITV, but credit to BBC for still having 6m until 9pm. Phillip Schofield says its the highest launch rating since Series 1. |

Have to say I do find DOI terrible...but ITV do seem to back their shows, it did OK in its first series the figures slowly built but ITV supported it, brought it back, created some momentum and now it's the start of year entertainment staple. The BBC could learn from this.

The first show did a lot better than expected (avg prediction was 8.4m) but the second actually did slightly worse. (avg prediction 7.5m)
That's a hefty drop off anyway between the two shows. |

It was the same last year though wasn't it? The results show doesn't seem to have the same pull as the main performance show.
