Apologies if it's been mentioned, but The X Factor has been recommissioned in Australia.
http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2011/03/...-to-seven.html A second season starts in France tomorrow having been promoted from W9 to M6 where it replaces the now cancelled Nouvelle Star (Pop Idol). Fame Academy, which aired on TF1, did really well in France but also got axed in 2008. In other X Factor related news, while he has been in LA Simon Cowell has apparently been doing the rounds with advertisers. FOX & Syco have already put together £165m ($270m) in ad sales for the show - £34m from Pepsi. According to The Mirror it's the largest pre-launch ad revenue total on US TV. And Syco get a 14% cut - £23m ($37m). Obviously it's The Mirror so who knows if it's true. They seem fairly specific with their numbers. http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/news/...5875-22988034/ |

Unless the BBC come up with a decent offer, I'm sure ITV will bid again for the FA Cup. After all, I'm sure they realise that this attracts a different audience for them, than a lot of their shows.
Mind you, thank God Charles Allen still isn't around, as there would probably be a new series of WAGs Boutique every year before the Cup Final and three hours of Holly Willoughby interviewing WAGs about their clothes before the Cup Final. Actually this is a pro ITV posting about how they've moved on since their dark days. |

Bang Goes The Theory finished about 7:55pm and then they stuck loads of trailers in before the News Update and then EastEnders started ontime

http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2011/03/...-to-seven.html As for last night - Dancing on Ice is a truely bizarre programme. I guess starting beyond BBC1's 7pm junction hurt it. Still a very good night for both ITV1 and BBC1 though - Waking the Dead's figures are not to be sniffed at. Oh, and who would have thought the Calcutta Cup would beat Stoke v West Ham in the ratings. Ah, right, just about everybody. ![]() Excellent final ratings for South Riding; it did very well against tough competition. |

No, the 7:30pm programme normally finishes early to occupy for the News Update. Although the Bang Goes the Theory programme was different from build as it was a Japan Special.

What Australia Watched: Monday 14th March
Headline: News programmes boosted by Japan coverage

It's funny how you take into account the competition and give all these excuses when it is BBC1 programmes under performing. You never seem to do this at other times.

And people think ITV & BBC1 are unimaginative in the summer... FOX have just unveiled their summer schedule which includes no new series and no scripted shows. Last summer, FOX ran a scripted block on Mondays last summer with Lie To Me and The Good Guys and also launched Masterchef.
The most puzzling thing about the schedule is that they've cut Hell's Kitchen to one hour and increased Masterchef to 2 hours despite the fact that Hell's Kitchen outperformed Masterchef considerably last summer. Mondays: 8pm - Masterchef (premieres 6th June) 9pm - House (Repeats) Tuesdays: 8pm - Masterchef 9pm - Hell's Kitchen (premieres 19th July) Wednesdays: 8pm - So You Think You Can Dance? Thursdays: 8pm - So You Think You Can Dance? (premieres 26th May) 9pm - Glee (Repeats) Fridays: 8pm - Bones (R) 9pm - Lie To Me (R) Saturdays: 8pm - Cops (R) 9pm - The Chicago Code (R) Sundays: Animation Repeats SYTYCD launches the day after the final of American Idol during which it will be heavily promoted (part of 19 & FOX's deal). By comparison, the likes of USA, TNT & ABC Family plan to run around 5 hours a week of original scripted content. |

Had there not been a recession, I still think Michael Grade would have turned ITV around in the way he revived the fortunes of the BBC in the mid eighties. At least ITV ratings haven't endured the sort of free fall they were enduring in the mid noughties and there has been a modest revival in drama and sports programming on the main channel and an end to dead end reality shows on ITV1 that should have been on ITV2.
There is still a long way to go, and ITV is far from perfect, but at least Grade started the revival and employing Peter Fincham was a good idea. |

The Daily Star is reporting that an all-nude version of Big Brother is set to come to our screens.
I wouldn't normally pay attention, but given who owns this newspaper and what we know about who Endemol are talking to regarding Big Brother, I'm a little concerned about this. Hopefully all is not as it seems and it's a load of nonsense! |

A NUDE equivalent of Big Brother is to hit British TV screens. Source: http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/view...RO-GOES-NAKED/Producers want to find eight housemates to live for 30 days with no clothes on. The Nak’d Truth has already caused a storm in America, with hundreds of thousands desperate to take part. Now bosses want to make a British version, to be filmed at a nudist resort in Florida. And they are heading to Blackpool next month to hold auditions. Sounds absolutely hideous. I hope Channel 5 aren't involved with this. |

to be fair there is nothing to tie this to Channel 5, and im unsure how much useable footage you would get, unless it was aired past midnight.

Oh dear. The Radio Times story about Midsomer Murders is going to be all over the place tomorrow. Digital Spy has picked it up. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/news/...suspended.html Quote:
'Midsomer Murders' creator suspended
The creator of Midsomer Murders has been suspended over comments made about the show's lack of ethnic minorities. Brian True-May had described the the long-running detective series as "the last bastion of Englishness" in an interview with Radio Times, adding that if black or Asian faces were introduced "it wouldn't be the English village" with which viewers are familiar. |

According to the i newspaper, William Hill are offering odds of 6-4 that the royal wedding will achieve a TV audience of 25m+. Charles & Diana's wedding had 21.7m in 1981 according to the paper, suggesting this year's coud be a record breaker. On a mission to state the bleeding obvious, BARB said "The marriage of the son of the heir to the throne in April is likely to create interest."

Well as one of the local new stories tonight was that there were only about five street parties put in for permission and having read in the paper over the weekend that there has been a huge demand for overseas holidays during that period, I'd go for less. No one that I know actually cares that they're getting married.
