They should have given it a snappier title though - I have to say "Law & Order" is such a dull name even for a routine police procedural. They might as well have called it "Crime Drama".
It would be like launching 'CSI Blackpool' and calling it 'Seaside Forensics'. Or the new Dallas being called 'Oil Baron's Brawl'. Legacy from a 20 year running series counts in TV land. All the original Law and Order UK TV ads used the long running US series as a basis for promotion and they even employed its long running theme tune. It has been a tradition with the show however many incarnations that they are all Law and Order: XXXXX Even the new and struggling US series Law and Order: Los Angles has been tweaked siginificantly and effectively relaunched but with the new title simply Law and Order: LA. |

Yes, but Law and Order is a global franchise so it will help sell it overseas on that basis as programme buyers and viewers immediately know it is part of the Law and Order universe.

One of the standout ratings has to be Friends which managed 0.7m across E4 and +1 and E4 are really going to struggle to fill all those hours, because not many shows can air 3 or 4 times a year (at least) and get ratings like that. Also bear in mind that episode was already shown earlier twice on E4, so across 4 showings the reach is massive.
Talking of E4, they've taken Scrubs out of rotation as of yesterday at the end of Season 8. It looks like Season 9 won't be getting a repeat, although I can't say I blame them as it was very poor compared to the other seasons. |

Very interesting ratings regarding the Live+7 system. It shows how outdated the BARB system is when some shows are increasing by 210%, 380% or even 560% for total viewing in 7 days.

Quite what the BBC think they are gaining by shifting So You Think You Can Dance earlier and earlier to gain a head start on a repeat on ITV is puzzling. 6:30pm is a bit too early for it really with the clocks going back this weekend. It was originally down for 7pm before shifting to 6:40pm to get a head start on the TV Burp repeat, so ITV shifted and now BBC1 have shifted again. Looks like ITV haven't bothered to shift again although the upside for them is that they can now show the movie without it being interrupted by the news.
I agree about Millionaire too, 5-5.5m seems like a reasonable guess. I hope they've learnt from their mistake at Christmas and are willing to let it overrun if it needs to this time Quote:
23.45 for ITV News? That's late - surely they could've done that with other films instead of cutting them off soon after 10pm?

Can they though? If it overuns the news will not finish until after midnight, which I would be surprised if thats allowed. So the only other option would be to split the Film, but potentially with just an odd 5-10 minutes after the news
Whenever ITV split a Film for news it's because the Film wouldn't be over by 2345. That makes me think ITV1 has to have 15 minutes of news finishing by midnight Except for New Year's Eve 2010 when it started at 2350, although the rules are probably different for holidays. |

The rate they're going they should get there by Christmas... |

STV are opting out of the new series of Lewis and are doing this on Sundays :
19:00 Monte Carlo or Bust 20:00 The Cube 21:00 Law & Order : UK So timeshifting The Cube and showing missing episodes from series 3 of Law & Order UK (which puts it up against the first episode of Waking the Dead in Scotland )

Don't ITV have any highlights for this?
The same was true the last time England played Wales in 2005, Of course if England had been playing Scotland or Northern Ireland, highlights would have been on the BBC as they have highlights rights for Scotland and Northern Ireland home matches. But there is no English language highlights deal for Wales home matches. Which is bloody stupid, of course, as it means people in Wales have to pay to watch their own team, which is often dumped on Sky Sports 3 or 4, but can watch England on ITV for nothing at all. Really promoting the national team, there. |

The Daily Mail has repeated the rumours (mentioned in the Daily Mirror) concerning the future of The Vanessa Show if ratings don't improve.

Interesting article on the BBC's new Live+7 ratings here: http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/b...025318.article
The ratings include narrative repeats, iPlayer views and HD showings. BBC3 shows got the biggest uplift with Snog, Marry, Avoid? rising by 560% (1.5m). Him and Her had 2.5million (overnight 0.8m) and one episode of Junior Doctors had a Live+7 figure of 3.5m. The first episode of The Apprentice last year had a figure of 10 million, as did Top Gear in January. Also, forgive me if its been mentioned on this thread so far, but I saw today that the next series of Merlin was back up to a full compliment of 13 episodes: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/s53/m...in-series.html The producer there is still talking of it as an autumn, Saturday night show - but there's going to be some scheduling issues created now with Doctor Who airing its remaining 6 episodes from September too. |

A possible scenario: Dr Who starts 3rd September to be BBC1's main Saturday night offering prior to Strictly's return. Merlin would then start on 15th October. Episode 11 would fall on 24th December. Merlin would be a good option for Christmas Eve at 6pm or 7pm with a good chance of grabbing a healthy 6m+ in the overnights. Episode 12 would fall on 31st December. I know TV companies don't make much effort on New Year's Eve because loads of people go out to New Year parties but it would be all right to stick Merlin on at 7pm before people go out. Episode 13 would be 7th January. Or as the series starts with a 2 part story, maybe they could have episode 1 on the Saturday and episode 2 on the Sunday* and end the series on New Year weekend. *or perhaps not, giving Primeval's poor performance when it went out on Sunday |

Good night for both BBC1 and ITV1 last night. Midsomer Murders, Waterloo Road and Masterchef appear to compliment each other which surprises me somewhat.
