Surely Sing if You Can is only going to have a lead-in of 3/3.5m anyway? Viewers always desert ITV after the football, so the lead-in will be low. Will be interesting to see if viewership increases or decreases during transmission. (lol)
Sing if You Can finished at 20:16, Attentional I think will remove the first 5 and last 5 minutes. |

Sing If You Can would be just about OK at about 5:30pm like Hole In The Wall, or after the watershed so Keith Lemon could be rude, but it isn't right for 7pm. Keith Lemon is its only redeeming feature, although Stacey Solomon isn't as bad as I thought she'd be. It'd be even worse with Vernon Kay.
Britain's Got Talent could be getting it's lowest lead in ever here. I'll be amazed if it held a good audience throughout. |

someone at ITV should be fired for this, and they should find someone who could tell this show would be awful, without going as far as actually filming it, panicing and replacing the host.
I don't understand why about 50% of comments anyone made anywhere in the world, before the show aired, seemed to take place in this thread. Its relatively cheap filler. You are going on like it is a new daily show airing at 9pm all year round that ITV are hoping will get 10m and are banking their future on!. I doubt the first series of X Factor had so many words typed about it before it started! |

Why are you obsessing about this show so much?

for the same reason the same is probaly true of Daybreak, we love a good flop. Also unlike some other threads, we are a forwarding thinking thread, we dont just watch a TV show, we discuss it from the moment its been comissioned, thats just what this thread is.Quote:

cheap filler is Youve Been Framed, and despite how poor it is, its pretty effective, its also not on in the heart of primetime like Sing If You Can has been.Quote:

Given that Simon Cowell was involved I find that hard to believe.

<sharp intake of breath>
I quite enjoyed the show in all honesty but I can see why people detest it. I must admit a deep loathing for Lemon but even he didn't totally ruin. I actually think its as good as half of the entertainment shows ITV and the Beeb but each to their own I guess |

Britain's Got Talent - Launch Ratings
2007 - 4.9m (22.9%) 2008 - 8.8m (37.0%) 2009 - 10.5m (45.1%) 2010 - 10.6m (44.0%) I know it's not going to be happen, but there would be egg on some people's faces if Britain's Got Talent had it's highest ever launch rating though. All the UK trends on Twitter are all ITV related. Into more realistic territory I suspect around 10m, but the later start time may help it out. The overnights will obviously be interesting for many reasons. |

Dumb question coming up from a non cricket fan sorry, but are One Day Cricket and Twenty/20 cricket the same thing?
![]() The reason I ask is I'm trying to compile a list of the highest rated shows on Australian TV in 2011 so far. Channel 9 aired a lot of cricket in January and some is marked "One Day Cricket" and some "Twenty/20." I don't know whether to have entries for each or not or just take the highest one. Thanks! |

Most amusing to see our ITVistas getting their knickers in a twist over SIYC's performance, a possible football over-run, and Man U getting knocked out. Have you nothing else in life really worth worrying about? Quote:
Consolidated figures for Mrs Brown's Boys:
Episode 1: 2.84m Episode 2: 3.19m Episode 3: 3.48m Episode 4: 3.85m Episode 5: 3.91m Episode 6: 4.10m Rising every single week. The series officially averaged 3.56m. And don't forget, these won't include viewing in Northern Ireland and (for some if not all episodes) in Wales either, because of BARB's flawed reporting methodology. Quote:
I rather fear being between the football and BGT, SIYC is going to get better ratings than it deserve.
But I can't see it repeating tonight's figures next week. Having said that, Celebrity Jizz is complete crud, and that rates well and attracts its share of Lemmon devotees.... |

They are different, One Day is 50 overs, Twenty/20 is 20 overs.

the 5 minute break down of Sing If You Can will be very interesting.
In two weeks time, it will have "People Do the Funniest Things" (that really is cheap filler) as its lead in, that will be a much better time to just Sing If You Can on its own mertis |

I've been out at a family gathering this afternoon, and not only were people actively talking about BGT returning tonight, some left at a time that made sure they'd be back for 8.20pm.
I despair... :yawn: |

have those people not heard of ITV1 +1 or PVRs
I don't think they venture beyond the main five channels - and I'm sure they're not alone in that. |

Not my grandparents, no. Even though they've had Freeview for at least 5/6 years, they still treat the scheduled news bulletins as appointment viewing despite having two 24/7 news channels they could tune into whenever they want.

People on here go on about unrealistic predictions by RobbieSykes, but tonight Sing for shit or whatever its called will do well, as will BGT - I'd say around 9 million for the latter and anything in the region of 6 - 8 million for the former...
Yes, it had ITV analysis as the lead in, but who is going to watch So You Think You Can Dance - will be a massive win for ITV tonight. Remember how well Harry Hill did when he was leading in to The X Factor - I'd expect better from SIYC as its not up against Strictly... |

Long Lost Family has been given a trail during Britain's Got Talent. With a Coronation Street lead in and a relative lack of opposition it should make a reasonable start.
