Benidorm won't be shown on Comic Relief Night (18th March) - confirmed by the writer. The series will resume the following week.
Also I think Britain's Got Talent is returning on Easter Saturday (23rd April), maybe even as part of an "Easter Weekend double-header". I thought it would've been the Saturday before that but Money Super Market's sponsorship deal of the show begins on 17th April which means it's unlikely to start before that day. Their deal ends on 4th June so like the last three years, it looks like the final will be on a Saturday. |

Saturday 26th February Overnights
BBC One 16:35- Six Nations Rugby Union: England v France - 7.32m (37.0%) * peak 9.56m (41.4%) at 18:40 19:00- Let's Dance for Comic Relief - 7.36m (32.0%) * peak: 7.86m (33.9%) at 19:40 20:20- The National Lottery: Secret Fortune - 5.93m (25.2%) 21:10- Casualty - 5.78m (24.8%) 22:00- BBC News - 5.22m (24.9%) 22:20- Match of the Day - 4.01m (22.7%) ITV1 (inc. HD) 18:30- You've Been Framed - 3.64m (16.1%) , +1 166k 19:00- Harry Hill's TV Burp - 4.08m (18.1%) , +1 223k 19:30- Ant & Dec's Push the Button - 4.02m (17.2%) , +1 174k 20:45- Take Me Out - 4.44m (19.0%) , +1 245k On the plus side I imagine ITV1 will have done relatively well outside of primetime with their popular movie repeats of Thunderbirds, Star Wars and James Bond. Match of The Day over 4 million again too. |

Alternatively I've always felt the Ant vs Dec feature from Takeaway could be expanded into a spin-off of it's own

Lets Dance has established itself as another event and was a fast paced load of silliness for which there is a considerable audience these days . The fact that it lasts for 80 minutes dominates the evening for BBC1.
I dont think there will be a higher peak for the Rugby this year-these figures puts it well on par with football and the BBC promotion together with the strengthening England team, has produced a real result. The Beeb will be keen to hold on to the rights when they are next due but the vultures will be circling as the cuts bite. ITV1 is poor, their weekend schedules struggle more often than not without the big Cowell shows or DOI propping them up. Ant and Dec need a new style of format, not sure there is the will to do another Takeaway which was very tired in its last run out. Harry Hill's ratings have been bizzarre over the years sometimes brilliant sometimes average or poor-very much a fair weather show. |

Couldn't they have let Pip present on his own, didn't they have a similar situation on Strictly when Brucie was off sick and Tess presented with Claudia interviewing the celebs.
Great result for the Rugby and LDFCR, I wonder if they could extend the series so it could start in January and end in March or would 6 Nations interfere too much? I imagine The Mentalist will move to 10pm for a week to avoid being dented by Comic Relief although they could keep in its normal slot as NCIS did 2.2m against Comic Relief two years ago. |

PTB doesn't work. They've attempted to shoe horn elements of Takeaway (like Ant v Dec) into a gameshow format.
The end game (based on that 80's Simon Says game) is terrible and was it really necessary to recycle that Simon Cowell teeth game from last series ? It all seems really lazy. Also, the phone-in competitions are executed really badly. I'd much prefer another run of Poker Face. |

X Factor, BGT & DOI (and not even counting celeb) cover most of the year - how many more could they fit into the schedule? You'd be looking at running one of the big ones over the summer months which would be a complete waste. Running DOI Sat/Sun would be the solution for Sat nights in the winter.

Cricket World Cup heading for an exciting finish (Sky Sports 2).
I fear though it won't get the viewing figures it deserves as it gets squeezed out by the Carling Cup Final (Sky Sports 1, BBC1) and the rugby with Scotland vs Ireland (BBC2). |

General question about Childrens programming.
When usually do the programmes peak on the satellite channels like Nick, CBBC etc? Is the 3pm-6pm slot still key? Also does the CBBC channel beat CBBC1 during the afternoons and mornings? |

Coleen Nolan is a bizzare choice. I'd have thought Bleakley or even Kate Thornton would have been more obvious choices.
I can kind of see why ITV don't bring back Pokerface as it didn't do that well in the first place. I don't think it did badly enough to be canned at the time, but probably not well enough that they really miss it. However, of the options from Gallowgate TV, it seems to be the best. I definitely can't see PTB returning next year so it's either something new or something old (Takeaway or Pokerface) assuming that it has to be a Gallowgate format. Caught a bit of Secret Fortune last night and it seemed OK. Basically Deal or No Deal with questions and envelopes instead of boxes and the banker. But it strikes me as the sort of thing that would probably flop on ITV without the Lottery tie-in. |

Coleen Nolan often hosts the This Morning 'hub' section (viewers phone-in) so will have worked with Pip Schofield many times before on live telly.

Quote:
Push The Button from what I've seen isn't a bad show, but it doesn't have the viewer loyalty like other shows the pair do. What I do like about Ant & Dec is that they thought Takeaway was getting tired so decided to try something new. However I think Takeaway would have struggled against Let's Dance For Comic Relief as well.

Judging by the success rugby union has had on BBC One, maybe ITV should make a bid for the Six Nations. After all, a sport with a heavy ABC1 following would delight the advertisers. Also it would finally give a valid alternative to You've Been Framed, which is an antique now and just isn;t funny.
