No way would the EastEnders repeat have pulled in a million on BBC HD. It gets about that on BBC3.

In fact theThursday 30th December episode on BBC3 got 1.012m, and the BBC HD simulcast didn't make the top ten, so somewhere below 63,000!!!!

Episodes would have been higher than EE as a simulcast.

Nurse Betty, Rev and The Trip which all had HD simulcasts proved that. Consistenty top ten BBC HD shows, which the EE repeats aren't.

Yesterday's 10pm BBC HD repeat of EastEnders had just 3,000 viewers. So I agree that Episodes probably should've been given priority as it was the "new" programme, and a simulcast of BBC2 would have more likely got a higher rating than a simulcast of BBC3.

I never said it would pull in 1m HD viewers for the repeat. But the fact that it regularly pulls in 700/800k on first broadcast suggests that the schedulers may think a simulcast repeat at 10pm will do better.

mattpinder was talking about the BBC1 HD simulcast of EastEnders. One of the BBC1 HD ratings for Christmas Day was was reported on the Doctor Who News website: http://gallifreynewsbase.blogspot.co...t-ratings.html

The BBC1 HD simulcast of Doctor Who had 1.3m, as noted in the above link. The EastEnders BBC1 HD simulcast had a similarly high number - 1.09m.

I know it's a late-night repeat, but 3,000 is appalling, although hardly surprising given that EE seems to the 'Tesco Value' of the BBC's HD output.

Yes iv been looking everywhere for Broadcast Magazine these last weeks but you obviously had more luck than me.

Tremendous performance by BBC1 to almost maintain share in the past year.

The Trip was getting up to 99,000 in that slot, with similar SD ratings to Episodes.

Regardless of whether or not it was EE or Episodes, 3,000 for that slot is incredulous.

BARB got it wrong?

That BBC HD figure for EastEnders is appalling. Why does it even need a HD repeat? Viewers can catch it in HD on BBC One HD. Get rid and use the slot more effectively, BBC.

Possibly. The episodes so far that have been shown on BBC HD at 10pm haven't rated much better though:

Thu 30th Dec- 16k
Fri 31st Dec- n/a (<2k)
Mon 3rd Jan- 16k
Tue 4th Jan- 28k
Thu 6th - 14k

BREAKING NEWS

Australia: Neighbours debuts on Eleven with 254,000 viewers.

Just in regards to the missing Part 3 of the thread, I've received a reply but it's as predicted earlier in the thread - it's been removed to reduce server load.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ridiculous scheduling from ITV1 last night worked as predicted by many; namely The Biggest Loser being the biggest loser and losing ratings hand over fist. Silent Witness was the main beneficiary though we'll have to wait for the officials to see what kind of impact the football had there. Shameless and the soaps had terrific nights.

you beat me to it.

Seems like a good figure for the launch, would be nice if it stays above 200,000 must of the week.

ELEVEN good enough for a 3.6 share for the day, well behind Go! 7.9, but still the 3 most watch multi channel. TBH I would think TEN are hoping ELEVEN will get a 4% share.

And there's another big story from last night - Nine News beats Seven News! Full details coming up...

Very good start for Neighbours on Eleven considering the competition. About what I expected for it, albeit at the lower end of my 250-300k prediction. Eleven generally got off to a good start, settling into third place out of the multichannels. Impressive for its first day on the air, I remember GO! and 7TWO took a lot longer to gain a respectable audience share.

The news ratings were strong across the board as you'd expect. Surprising to see Nine beat Seven when Seven beats Nine normally all year round. It's a blow for Seven who have come under fire for not providing as much rolling coverage as Nine on the floods.

I never for once thought people who watched every week would stop because of the bad press. I just wish they had stuck with some of the original scripts. OK, wrap up this baby storyline by April but tonight several funeral scenes were clearly cut and replaced by a couple of utterly embarrassing comedy "sketches" between Jodie and Poppy that have to be seen to be believed! It was like something out of Catherine Tate shoehorned into the middle. Once you have gone this far with the story at least show the funeral but it seems the minority have won leaving the episodes all over the place

Oh my god, 3,000 viewers is horrendous!

Neighbours did better than I expected it to considering the news opposition. Maybe ELEVEN will be hoping for it to increase above 300,000 once the news programmes settle.

Nine News did very well - could the Perth fire offer a clue why; that they were covering more of Australia than concentrating on the floods?

I agree, it did really well. I was beginning to expect a lot worse after some of the predictions I've read over the past few days. Someone put it as low as 50k.

So actually it has come out of it quite well and managed to post a solid rating. It was well ahead of its nearest competition on digital in that timeslot- Gem's Friends was a distant 2nd with 109k.

It's a shame we don't know how Ten News rated across the 6pm hour though to see how well the main channel held up. Given the average of around 750k across the two hours, I reckon at 5pm it was probably close to 1 million, then dipped to around 500k for the 2nd hour.

A shame that its been deleted, this thread is a great source of ratings and that part contained a lot of interesting data.

Yeah. I'm forever looking back and searching these threads for old data. The fact that a massive chunk of the thread is inaccessible is a real shame. But I suppose it's not a decision that would have taken lightly by DS.

I know news is popular in Australia but two hours is a bit much, an hour is long enough with both national and regional news.

The gap between Sunrise and Today is very small, I know Kochie and Mel are away but are the hosts of Today away?

Maybe an OT question but in Oz there is Seven, Nine, Ten (and now 11) but whatever happened too One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six & Eight?

A couple of questions:

1) Did you watch it?
2) What would your reaction have been if it was shown on the BBC?

Well, it wouldn't have been shown on the BBC, certainly not 9pm on BBC1. I hardly think you can justify this by saying it has "PSB elements" because it involves people losing weight, you may as well argue that Snog Marry Avoid has "PSB elements" because it involves people discussing body image. You can argue everything had "PSB elements", people lose weight appearing on Strictly.

The Biggest Loser is a bit of light factual fluff, along the same lines as, yes, Snog Marry Avoid. I'm not saying it's a bad thing but it seems pointless to try and argue it's in the slightest bit important. And given the regular argument about BBC1 is that it puts too much daytime stuff in primetime, this is an actual daytime programme.
