Ah damn, I forgot about Doctor Who. Very good point. I still don't think the pre-XFactor slot will work after Doctor Who is out of the way though, as Strictly will be starting and willhurt the show even more IMO.

Please, enlighten me, what is downmarket about these programmes that have been commissioned since Desmond took charge:

And announced today:
Only downmarket commissions I have seen have been OK! TV, Candy Bar and possibly The Beat Goes On.

But, as ever on Digital Spy, don't let the facts get in the way of a good bash!
It's all about the headline though - he's making it all about Big Brother, which will just over shadow the 23 minutes of quality television on C5 since Dirty Desmond took over.

Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents overnight ratings:

Ep1: 870k
Ep2: 748k
Ep3: 576k
Ep4: 496k
Ep5: 705k
Ep6: 770k
Ep7: 571k (highlights show)

Good ratings for it on the whole, especially as the last few episodes were up against Big Fat Gypsy Weddings. Ratings-wise it should be given another series but I dunno if it'd work as surely people taking part in another series would be a bit suspicious having been aware or seen the show on TV already?
Exactly - though they've milked The Secret Millionaire long enough.


Back to ratings and two questions. Any figures for the Thursday night repeat of Big Fat Gypsy Wedding please, and also any data at all for Malcolm in the Middle on Fiver in the last month?

Thanks. Great increase in the last couple of episodes and very decent for the HL show last night, getting more than an episode shown 2 weeks ago.

I would love it to come back, but I agree. But tbh in these types of holidays there are so many cameras about, people wont even realize[/LIST].

Tvbythenumbers

Last year CBS had a two hour premiere of Survivor which averaged a 4.5. Grey's Anatomy was down just 9% vs last year (but still a season low) although Private Practice was down nearer 20%. Wipeout, while down, improved their 8pm hour by nearly 50%. The Mentalist topped CSI for the first time in a few weeks and Idol was down just 8% from the equivalent episode last year (although the equivalent last year was a recap episode). CSI tied an all time series low among adults 18-49.

Ahead of its UK premiere on BBC1 tomorrow night, the US rights to Secret Fortune have been bought by Big Red 2 - the joint venture production company headed up by Nigel Lythgoe and partly owned by Simon Fuller.

It's the second project Lythgoe has been attached to in the past 48 hours. He'll Executive Produce CMT's Next Star - a country music talent search (CMT stands for Country Music Television). The show was created by his son, Simon Lythgoe and will be produced by his company, Legacy Productions and his fathers firm, Big Red 2. It airs in April and the younger Lythgoe will serve as showrunner while his father stays in LA working on Idol.

How will series 2 of So You Think You Can Dance? work in the UK?

According to the website it will still be judged by Nigel, although the terms and conditions do state contestants may be required to go to the US during the programme.

So not only is it rating well on first airing, but it is also rating very well on repeat. Only 88,000 behind the preceding programme, 10 O'Clock Live.

He took up the post in October after three years at BBC3. He's cancelled Lark Rise but he's also commissioned a new version of Great Expectations. What do you want to ask him?"

Into week 4 and it seems that Piers Morgan Tonight has stabilised after a hectic 3 weeks which went from a 2m high for Oprah to a 400k low for The Kardashians then over a million a few times for the Egypt crisis. For Mon-Thur, he placed 3rd in the 9pm slot but was competitive. The Rachel Maddow Show had a 13% lead in total viewers and a 9% lead among adults 25-54. When the midnight repeats were factored in, Maddow's lead in viewers was down to 7% while Piers held a 5% lead among adults 25-54. Hopes of coming first seem a bit more far fetched - at 9pm Hannity held a 146% lead in viewers.

Interestingly, the return of coverage of the Egypt crisis last night sent ratings down a bit from Wednesday night when Piers' passed 1m viewers for his interview with Donald Trump in front of a live studio audience. Notably, while Hannity and Maddow both dipped from their lead-ins on Wednesday, Piers built by 141% in adults 25-54 and 166% in total viewers from Parker Spitzer's alarmingly low number at 8pm (408,000 with 102,000 in the demo, thumped by Nancy Grace on HLN with 583,000 and 179,000).

How will series 2 of So You Think You Can Dance? work in the UK?

According to the website it will still be judged by Nigel, although the terms and conditions do state contestants may be required to go to the US during the programme.
If it's airing anytime before May then I'm not sure how he can be doing it. Aside from American Idol, he'll have his hands full with SYTYCD US which is also under a bit of pressure this year after some big declines recently.

Jedward are representing Ireland this year at Eurovision. With Blue taking part and now Jedward, could we see a rise in ratings for Eurovision after last years slump?

Horrible rating for the TEN Evening News there.

Oh god, no. Unfortunately you're probably right and Ireland would probably win the UK vote.

Thanks rzt for the early overnights.

That looks low for EastEnders, over a million behind Coronation Street tape-checked. Probably just a dip, I imagine. 33.7% share in its usual slot I think is its worst in a while, isn't it without a clash? Hustle did well, thankfully losing nothing from its week off last week.

As expected for ITV, pretty evident now Comedy Rocks is going to be axed. A slight dip for the Channel 4 shows, but still very respectable ratings, and they'll be pleased with over 13% share from 9pm to 11:15pm.

What are the demos for Comedy Rocks vs Paul o'grady's friday night show. I'd guess that POG gets the extra 1m in the 55+ age bracket. If thats true then I'm not so sure POG is doing much of a better job than Comedy Rocks.

Same old story there as well, big news event, people go to Breakfast.

The Wright Stuff is doing well on Five, unlike The Vanessa Show. How has Zoo Days been doing in the 6:30pm slot this week? Just wondering if it's possible that OK! TV could actually do worse than it.

Hope The Chase continues winning the 5pm slot, although it doesn't appear to be gaining viewers at the moment.

Here's the demo comparison between yesterday's Comedy Rocks and an averagely-rated episode of POG Live from last Autumn: http://i53.tinypic.com/2uei51j.jpg

Yes, PoG skews older, but it also beats Comedy Rocks in every single demographic including the younger ones (16-34).

A few big timeshifts for some dramas last week. Official ratings (bracketed includes ITV1+1):

Silent Witness (Mon): 8.40m
Silent Witness (Tue): 7.69m

Midsomer Murders: 8.10m (8.36m)
Marchlands: 7.36m (7.80m)

Silent Witness 2011 had an official series average of: 7.97m. This was a rise of 4% vs. last year's series and its best rated series since 2000-2001. Also that was Midsomer Murders' best-rated episode in almost five years (8.94m, March 2006). Marchlands was ITV's biggest-rated new weeknight drama launch since Collision (8.40m, Nov 2009).

Personally I'd try it on a Saturday night before axing it

Incredible figure for silent witness, as is breakfst being nearly a million higher than daybreak!

I have missed marchlands but I'm glad itv have a hit drama, great cast too and has done very well with, as far as I know, little promotion.
