I do wonder whether a return to Ten for Neighbours would just carry on getting 400k or increasealot more? Essentially atm the network is getting 800k spread over two channels, returning Neighbours may get Ten 500k but is there anything to go on 11 which could prove as popular?

Strong for the football, which seemed to slightly dent BBC1's schedule, although it still held up well. IIRC the last Waterloo Road finale ended up against Emmerdale & Corrie and finished on a series low too.

Awful for Jamie and Ch4 will have to have a re think before starting on a new project. NCIS held up very well and it obviously has a different audience to the football, because it's only when it's up against Midsomer that it's dented.

RZT, do you have 1/2 hr breakdowns for Daybreak?

Does it ever top a million?

Also how is The Vanessa Show doing?

A few more details about Cowell's new game show for ITV:


No, I'm afraid I don't have the breakdowns nor the Vanessa Show ratings at the moment.

Hmm i expected ratings to be down further due to the warm weather across the south. Still light and warm out at 9pm here last night...oh well.

Sounds like an ITV version of million pound drop.
And crucially has the same possible outcome that the winner will go home with nothing.

The Crimson Petal and the White did very well considering it was against football, should remain stable against weaker football competition next week. NCIS increased from last week which is good, Masterchef was slightly dented from the football and Jamie's Dream School has turned out to be a bit of a flop.

Keeley Hawes confirmed on This Morning today that filming for the next series of Upstairs Downstairs will take place from October to March. So it looks like the earliest possible time of the year it can be shown on TV will be Spring 2012.

Neighbours on TEN is IMO dead, and it would leave ELEVEN competing against TEN for tis own demographic, so I dont see it being helpful to TEN.

When BARB give the final rating of a show for CH4, do they incorporate +1 into it ? Thanks

Yeah Crimson did well despite getting a dreadful review from the Newsnight team on Friday, mind they were a terrible panel and gave out about everything, should have been called grumpy old........
BBC2 have been having a great week, since Sunday.

I was intrigued by your post about Jamie and decided to go see how his shows have developed, in terms of ratings. I took six of his prime time shows and developed a little experiment with them.[LIST][*]Jamie’s Kitchen[*]Return to Jamie’s Kitchen[*]Jamie’s School Dinners[*]Jamie's Return to School Dinners[*]Jamie’s Ministry of Food[*]Jamie’s Dream School[/LIST]I found their ratings and then produced some notes and a graph.

Graph - The Rise and Fall of Jamie Oliver

Jamie’s Kitchen
This was Jamie's breakthrough into prime time. The first episode of this series was the most watched program on channel 4 that week. While it lost viewers, the second episode of the series was also the most watched program on CH4 that week. It would increase in viewers in the third week but lost its place in the “most watched of the week” to Celebrity Big Brother and came second. The show would miss a week and then come back for two more weeks. When it came back the show would regain it’s “most watched of the week” status for both weeks and the whole series ended on a ratings high of 6.25

A follow up show Return to Jamie’s Kitchen would air the next year for two weeks. The show would be “most watched of the week” for both weeks but shared this title with Grand Designs in the second week. The ratings would get nowhere near what the first season had got and failed to even reach the lowest rating of season 1, 4.64.

Jamie’s School Dinners
This is probably the series which made Jamie famous but the opener gained fewer viewers than the series opener of Jamie’s Kitchen however it was still the most watched show on CH4 that week. The show would be the most watched show of the week for CH4 for all the weeks it was shown and ended on a series high 5.32.

Jamie's Return to School Dinners
In September of the next year, a follow up would be broadcast. It would be the most watched episode of the week for CH4 and gained 3.66 viewers.

Jamie’s Ministry of Food
In 2008 Jamie’s Ministry of Food broadcast and it would open with 3.24m as well as sealing “most watched of the week” title. It would be dented the next week by Peter Kay’s mock talent show and would only come third in the “most watched on four” list. It would also miss out on the top spot the week after when River Cottage bet it with 3.25 to 2.72. The lowest score any of Jamie’s primetime shows would get. The next week Jamie would be relegated to third place by Gordon Ramsay and River Cottage after scoring a meagre 2.51m

Jamie’s Dream School
It could be that the abysmal rating of "Ministry of Food" is why they branched out into something which had just about nothing to do with food. As this series aired so recently, it’s not possible to look at “most watched” status for it however it does look very bleak for Jamie. It opened with the weakest rating throughout this whole experiment -2.1- and kept falling save week 4 when it reached 1.48m however the finale crashed to a halt with 1.06m

Overview
When Jamie first came into primetime with Jamie’s Kitchen, he was a major success and while he would become more famous with his school dinner series it would never reach the ratings of his first hit. As the years have went on Jamie’s primetime shows have lost more and more followers. Perhaps Jamie will try to go back to cooking in a bid to bring back viewers or maybe he’ll decide enough is enough. Whatever he does I think this little experiment shows that he, and CH4, have a lot to think about.

Actual Ratings

Key:
JK = Jamie's Kitchen
JRK = Jamie's Return to the Kitchen
JSD = Jamie's School Dinners
JRTSD = Jamie's Return to School Dinners
JMOF = Jamie's Ministry of Food
JDS = Jamie's Dream School

Note: All Ratings were taken from BARB's 30 Most Watched Shows apart from JDS which were ratings were taken from DS.

Jamie Oliver has gone the same way as Gordon Ramsay, both were getting 5m a few years ago and now both get 1.5m on a good night.

Good news Doctor Who fans (including myself ), looking at BBC Press Office it appears the following could be the schedule for Easter Saturday:

17:30 - NEW: Don't Scare the Hare
18:30 - So You Think You Can Dance
19:30 - NEW: Doctor Who
20:15 - Lottery: Secret Fortune
21:05 - Casualty
21:55 - BBC News
22:15 - Match of the Day

Clearly someone seen Don't Scare the Hare and didn't like it!
Knowing BBC though, it probably will end up being...

17:45 - Doctor Who
18:30 - So You Think You Can Dance
19:30 - Don't Scare the Hare
20:30 - Lottery: Secret Fortunes
21:20 - Casualty
22:10 - BBC News
22:30 - Match of the Day

I assume the second part will air on Sunday

Oh, and a brilliant rating for the football as well.

That should help boost Doctor Who, I just hope Saturday's slot is just as good.

Don't Scare the Hare was made in Manchester quite some time ago so someone has been sitting on it

Light at 9pm?!

Don't Scare the Hare is 40 minutes.

Meanwhile, it turns out that NBC's reality boss Paul Telegdy does have a better handle on ego managment than his predecessors. Prior to announcing The Voice, he made a little phone call to Simon Cowell (who Exec Produces America's Got Talent for the network) to smooth things over. Cowell's response was "do what you want", but did note that Telegdy is under a little pressure. But I really don't think this is the way to solve his problem.. Idol is doing well and it's already well advanced. Launching a new show one month before the end may be problematic.

Perhaps the pressure on Telegdy is reflected in The Hollywood Reporter's 4th annual reality power list where Telegdy placed 9th - with rivals at FOX (Mike Darnell #2), CBS (Jennifer Bresnan, #3) and ABC (Vicki Dummer & John Saade, #4) all higher.

6 Brits made the top 20. Simon Cowell was #6. Mark Burnett, the LA based Brit behind The Apprentice, Survivor and a slew of flop cable offerings was #11. Stephen Lambert was #13 thanks to Undercover Boss, marking a remarkable recovery from Queen-Gate. Conrad Green, a former Big Brother boss, now runs Dancing With The Stars and was #18. Gordon Ramsay was #20.

Broadcast is reporting that the BBC is thinking of moving all remaining Bristol production (apart from local news) to Cardiff and has asked Indies to advance the argument against. Unclear where this would leave the Natural History Unit.
