As expected last night, I think. Unsurprising to see the Football down on last week considering it wasn't the best of games.

More ratings from yesterday:
Channel 5 14:15- Home & Away: 329k (4%) 18:00- Home & Away: 825k (4.3%) Fiver 18:30- Home and Away: 470k (2.3%) Now the programme takes a day off and returns with a double bill on Friday. Hopefully with the low rating for the first look last night, it will do decently on Friday. Interestingly there is a double bill in Australia today too to make up for a missed episode following extended news coverage of events in New Zealand. In both markets it is currently hovering around the 1 million mark for its main showing. |

I see Daybreak is still going great guns....
ITV execs must just despair at it. It's been a total disaster after all the expectations.Not much else to say about last night. BBC One quite solid, if rather dull. ITV1 down a bit from football. Good for Madagascar on Two and The Real Kings Speech on 4. Though I thought the Model Agency would do significantly better than that. It's so hard to predict which of these docusoap type things will actually take off. There appears to be no rhyme or reason to it. |

Looks like the fire alarm knocked BBC1 a bit. Rip Off Britain dented accordingly with only a 3.6m lead-in, football boosted for ITV, and a knock-on effect therefore for Waterloo Road?

Just a note - EastEnders does not 'lose' an episode due to Comic Relief, nor will it be displaced. Not sure how long it is, but there is definitely an episode airing during Comic Relief on Friday 18th March.

Some decent ratings for all 5 channels last night, BBC1 solid all night despite the fire alarm during TOS, Madagascar still doing well - looks so much better on the HD channel.
I endured a 90 minute snoozefest of football, looking at the rating it seems 5 million others hung out in the hope for a goal or two. The King's Speech doc on C4 pulled in the viewers - the clips I saw made for awkward viewing though. I was awake at 6am this morning - Daybreak truly was awful, The cameras were pointing at the wrong people while Dan Lobb was attempting to read newspaper headlines. If I was an ITV executive and I was told ratings were 600,000 average - I would think 'why are they as high as that?' |

I notice that Alan Titchmarsh is back to 3pm for the new run of his show from 7th March. The Chase (which I think will be repeats) staying at 5pm. New episodes for The Chase recording in the Spring I understand.
Any figures for the 5pm's ? |

The Real King's Speech did pretty well. Smart scheduling by C4 to take advantage of the film's hupe, especially a few days before the Oscars. BBC News at Ten had a stonking rating. No doubt the Libya and NZ stories gave it a boost. ITV News at Ten obviously lost out big time. Quote:
Not much to say really :yawn:

Isn't it half term or something?
I dont know, because I'm in Scotland, but I watched Daybreak yesterday morning and the "Something cool before the kids go to school" feature had been renamed "Something cool while the kids are off school". |

What was the Emmerdale rating for the full slot inc. HD (but not tape-checked and not including +1).?

ITV need to bite the bullet, ditch Chiles (possibly keep Bleakley) and bring back GMTV.
At least ITV's core demographic liked GMTV, which had a real ITV "feel" about it. Daybreak looks like they were pitching it towards a BBC audience - but they are, not surprisingly, wedded to BBC Breakfast. ITV should be thankful the Beeb haven't given the Breakfast gig to Susannah Reid full time. That would send the ratings soaring - I always tune to BBC Breakfast before I get up on Friday mornings...

The Real King's Speech did good given how popular the film is. NCIS remained stable against the football, I think TRKS prevented it from increasing this week, it's doing better than it was in January, Midsomer and AS definetly dented it. |

Rather different story at the RTS Awards last night of course where the BBC were snubbed and ITV News at Ten took the main prize.
Still in a World where Loose Women can win a factual award, anything is possible

Looks like Have I Got News For You is moving back to Fridays according to its tickets website, as they're recording episodes on Thursdays: http://www.hattrick.co.uk/ticketing/...iesId=424&id=4 Likely date for its return is Friday 8th April. I think it'll be paired up with either My Family or BBC1's other new sitcom Meet The Doyles. I read somewhere that Outnumbered will be back in September rather than the Spring, although of course that could be wrong and it may well be coming back soon. Quote:

With all this talk of the Daybreak's rating's, I was just thinking, not sure if i've just dreamt this, but didn't we used to get Reach figures for GMTV ( and Breakfast for that matter). Obviously because of the nature of breakfast programmes the figures are a bit misleading as in general people only watch 10/15 mins on their way out to work etc. The 600,000 Daybreak and ~1.5m BBC Breakfast figures are the average are they not and realistically more people watch don't they?Hope you understand what I mean. If these figures do actually exsist, do you have any Daybreak figures, and BBC Breakfast for comparison?

I think 600,000 during half-term is alright.
Didn't it drop to 300,000 over New Year? |
