Extraordinary for BFGW. So many TV producers across the country are trying to work out and replicate exactly what has made it so phenomenal. I fear for the future.
Speaking of which, extraordinary for Outcasts too. Does anyone have the breakdown for the hour? It is likely to fall further next week against BFGW and the Brits. ITV must think Christmas has come early rescuing Taggart for a week at least. It's ironical that the BBC boss who commissioned this batch of drama (and shifted Outcast away from it's original concept) is inheriting the success of her predecessor. Some people have a gift. Moving Silk to Monday may give it a chance and it could be sufficiently middle of the road to restore viewers to the 9pm slot. It's not trying to be new or different (Peter Moffatt rehashing his short legal career again!) and the best I have heard it described is 'OK' but that could be what viewers are looking for after Outcasts. ITV drama looking pretty good at the moment.

I just actually realised that because of the soap clash, Big Fat Gypsy Weddings was the most watched programme yesterday.

have to confess I missed the start of EE last night, so I watched the BBC 3 repeat. |

How does that compare to how programmes usually rate at that time on TV3?
So pretty good considering the Ireland vs Wales game on Sky Sport and the fact that the man who will be PM wasnt taking part in the debate. Quote:
Gosh that's much lower than I would have expected! Mind it was terrible, only 2 parties spoke, and the setup was terrible, all sitting at a table, haven't heard a good comment about it today. Best bit was Enda Kenny winning the debate on the poll on politics.ie

About what TV3's top rated shows would get (excl. X Factor). Coronation Street gets 450-500k; Emmerdale 250-300k. The Apprentice (Ireland version) was getting about 400k too.
So pretty good considering the Ireland vs Wales game on Sky Sport and the fact that the man who will be PM wasnt taking part in the debate. I thought I read on boards that it got 900K. my mistake. Must be only Tubbers and sporting gigs that do huge numbers these days or are they way down now too?

You can equally make a "conscious decision" to watch it on +1 but if +1 was not available you would have PVR'd it.
Equally, I could (and often do) not bother PVRing a show because I know it is on again later in the week and I will be better placed to watch it then, and won't get chance to watch the recording before that time anyway. But the "aggregators" in our midst do not, and will not, capture that form of timeshifting. Quote:

I maintain that ITV will inevitably come up with a freakshow weddings concept; they can hardly not jump on the bandwagon with those ratings. As for Taggart, maybe Outcasts was part of a sneaky BBC plan to secure its recommission? ![]() Quote:

Are there figures for the gender breakdown of the Gypsy Wedding audience? I think I know the answer though!

Maybe when The Biggest Loser has finished flopping, they can combine the two, and make a UK version of Shedding for the Wedding . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shedding_for_the_Wedding |

![]() It's just a phenomenon at the moment and has been steadily growing. No idea where it'll stop or what sort of longevity it might have. I can imagine the bubble could burst quite quickly when it does, but it'll still leave very strong numbers when it does. A lot depends as usual on how C4 decide to play it...Disaster for Outcasts, but it was on the cards after last night. Clearly with a production so expensive and long-in-the-making they had to give it a shot - and they did the best they could. But time to sweep it away now. Make sure Silk gets the slot it needs. |

Big questions need to be asked about Ben Stephenson now as BBC drama controller. When was the last time he commisoned a show that became a successful returing series?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- I dont understand people saying Silk needs to be on Mondays. Mondays are quite competitive at the moment, Biggest Loser will soon be ending an a higer rating show probably will take its place, then you have One Born Every Minute doing well on C4 and Glee on E4. Tuesdays are going to be safe for Silk, Holby City lead-in, probably a similar audience crossover, poor ITV opposition and BGFW ends before Silk starts too. |

Expanding on what Dancc's posted about the weekly shares, here's the January All-Day BARB shares for the last five years for each of the major broadcasters and their portofilio of channels:
BBC 2006: 35.0%, 2007: 34.7%, 2008: 34.3%, 2009: 33.3%, 2010: 32.4%, 2011: 33.3% ITV 2006: 24.2%, 2007: 23.6%, 2008: 24.0%, 2009: 23.6%, 2010: 23.1%, 2011: 23.6% Channel 4 2006: 14.4%, 2007: 14.8%, 2008: 12.7%, 2009: 12.6%, 2010: 12.3%, 2011: 12.2% Channel 5 2006: 5.8%, 2007: 5.7%, 2008: 5.7%, 2009: 6.2%, 2010: 5.5%, 2011: 5.7% The BBC experienced a 2.8% rise y-o-y, helped by both BBC1 (+0.5%) and BBC2 (+4.4%) being up y-o-y which is really good for the two terrestrial channels to overturn that continuing decline which has plagued the terrestrial channels the last decade. In raw share, of the BBC channels BBC2 was up the most from the previous January (7.1% vs. 6.8%), no doubt helped by strong performances of the Eric & Ernie biopic and the shift of Top Gear to January. Also a noteable mention for BBC4 which was up 40% year-on-year (0.5% to 0.7%)! ITV were up 2.2% y-o-y, this despite the main ITV1 channel falling 4%. ITV1's decline was offset by rises for ITV2 (+9%), ITV3 (+19%) and ITV4 (+38%), and as Dancc said a couple of days ago ITV3 (2.5%) was the most watched digital channel in January (overtaking ITV2 - 2.4%). The rise for ITV4 is particularly impressive and it looks like acquiring the cricket highlights was a very good move for the channel. Channel 4 as a corporation were down 0.8% y-o-y. Given the loss of CBB, I actually don't think that's too bad. Despite the massive success of Big Fat Gypsy Weddings, like ITV1 the main C4 channel was down (-6%) but the digital channels rose: E4 (+13%), Film4 (+9%), More4 (+9%) but not enough to prevent C4 from losing share overall (albeit every so slightly). Channel 5 as a whole were up 3.6% y-o-y: in terms of %-rise that's the most out of any the major broadcasters. The main C5 channel was up 2.4% (from 4.2% to 4.3% share) and 5USA was up 12.5% y-o-y. Fiver was flat compared to last January. C5 as a corporation have done well holding their market share since 2006 - the best out of the 4 major broadcasters. Over the last 5 years in the month of January, like I said C5 have done best to hold onto their market share (-1.8%), with ITV second (-2.5%), BBC third (-4.9%) and C4 last (-15.3%). Overall, the 4 broadcasters had a 74.8% share of total TV viewing in January 2011 which compares to 79.4% in January 2006. |

My rationale for Silk on Monday rather than Tuesday is because, traditionally, people don't watch drama on Tuesday. When was the last time either channel had a successful Tuesday drama? I don't think Silk is strong enough to buck that trend. Edited to add- irrelevant now as the BBC have confirmed South Riding on Sunday, Mrs Brown's Boys on Monday and Silk on Tuesday. Outcasts is still listed for Monday and that may be its last week in prime time. |
