the reveal will be a sigh of relief amongst fans, as the horrible memory can finally be put to bed.

Eastenders has some great characters and interesting plot lines - running Monday to Friday could be a good idea but not totally necessary. Writing almost 120mins of quality drama a week is a challenge but with a cast of 30-40 - it is just several minutes each, so it not out of the question to extend this by 25%.
Soap ratings dropped Thursday night - hope they bounce back for Friday overnights - EE next week ought remain at 10+ million for each of the 4 episodes. i've seen no promotion for it yet but looking at the weather forecast they sell make the most of the next few days as the Rain and wind are back mid week so who knows I heard that 2 of the episodes next week are longer then 30mins (likely to last 33 mins) and one of them is Thursday so i guess the other is Friday |

on what evidecne do you suggest that
of course like with any storyline on any Tv show not everyone agrees During the time when the complaints were coming through the ratings were very conistent and quite a few posters on here admited complaining about the storyline evn though they didn't watch it. A number of complaints were made before scenes even aired |

I wonder where Channel 5 will schedule the Lifetime William and Kate film? If they want to air it in primetime, the only place it could go is Easter Sunday at 8pm before The Walking Dead or if they want to air it on the day of the Royal Wedding then 3.20pm after the news at 3 is possible.
As for Rock and Chips, I think Easter Sunday is most likely, |

The BBC says it got 12,000 complaints about the baby story line, a record for EE. But that means about 8 million people did not complain. That doesn't necessarily mean, of course, that they enjoyed it

I think that's Emmerdale's lowest rating this year. I think Benidorm held up fine - down 0.4m week-on-week, some of which would've been due to fewer people watching TV and also tougher competition from BBC1. A solid enough rating IMO as the share was only down a point compared to recent weeks. I think HIGNFY underperformed a little - it was holding up better than that (20%+ shares) last time it was clashing against Benidorm so I was expecting it to be a bit closer to the 5m mark (if it had got the 20/21% share it usually gets). Ratings for it though should improve in the next few weeks when it's up against the lower-rated Paul O'Grady Live. Bad start for Baboons with Bill Bailey, looks like viewers don't really like programmes which concentrate on just one animal, as Lion Country did badly recently too. Ice Road Truckers held up well, it was the only programme from that list actually up compared to last week. |

Looks like everything was down last night. HIGNFY got a particularly low rating for a debut episode - must be its lowest BBC1 debut ever? It's aired against Benidorm wore and got 5m+ so it can't be that. I'm putting it down to the weather. Benidorm dipped a bit too but it seemed to hold up better than most things (it only lost about 7% of its audience from last week, other shows lost more) and 5.8m is a cracking audience. It is down from where this series started but it is in line with previous series. This series has averaged 6.6m [inc. +1] and has timeshifted and repeated really well (must be reaching 9-10m per week over all the screenings). ITV will want it to come back.

Pretty good end for Benidorm all things considered-with the tougher competition and hot weather I thought it may drop more, especially after Thursdays ratings. As Score points out with timeshift and repeats it's probably the best rated series yet. I also think POG should perform better next week, than it did before.
Not the best night for BBC1. Awful start for QOS and HIGNFY was dented by the hot weather and Benidorm. Also the poor scheduled lead out couldn't have helped. |

Have added the soap ratings to my previous post too. Neighbours' rating is for 13:45 by the way. One rating I forgot to put was:
5* 18:30- Home and Away: 385k (2.5%) Source: DS |

From DS
Benidorm closed for 2011 with a respectable 5.8m viewers, according to the latest overnight data. Writer Derren Litten's final episode amused 5.62m (24.2%) in the 9pm hour and 224k on ITV1 +1, a loss of approximately 500k week-on-week, and down a hefty 1.8m on its fourth series premiere. Meanwhile, the return of Have I Got News For You to BBC One interested 4.49m (19.2%), following which a QI repeat took 3.39m (14.6%) at 9.30pm. Friday Night Dinner's first series climaxed with 1.18m (6%) for Channel 4 at 10pm, adding 133k on timeshift. Prior to that, A Place In The Sun and Embarrassing Bodies grabbed 1.06m (4.8%) and 1.83m (7.9%) at 8pm and 9pm, respectively adding 151k and 314k on +1. With numbers down across the board due to hot weather, Baboons with Bill Bailey made a modest introduction with 2.78m (13.2%) for ITV1 at 8pm, while a new run of A Question of Sport began with just 2.56m (11.4%). Over on BBC Two, Mastermind and Gardeners' World rumbled on with 1.97m (9.3%) and 2.11m (9.4%) in the 8pm hour, then 1.76m (7.6%) watched Lambing Live conclude and 1.63m (8.2%) tuned in for Frank Skinner's Opinionated at 10pm. Elsewhere, Ice Road Truckers (8pm), The Mentalist (9pm) and Law & Order (10pm) pulled in respective audiences of 1.07m (4.9%), 1.52m (6.2%) and 965k (5.2%) for Channel 5. Overall, ITV1 led primetime with 24.3% (+1: 0.6%) to BBC One's 19.1%. BBC Two claimed third with 7.4%, followed by Channel 4 with 5.4% (+1: 0.8%) and Channel 5 with 4.6%.

5* 18:30- Home and Away: 385k (2.5%) Source: DS 20:30 - A Question of Sport: 2.56m (11.4%) I fear massively for So You Think You Can Dance tonight. Going on last night's Emmerdale share only 16.8m were watching TV between 7pm and 7:30pm last night. Given that it's a Saturday, I'd take at least 1.5m straight off that tonight, so about 15.3m watching TV. So You Think You Can Dance may well find itself with a solid 20% share but a horrendous 3 million viewers. Benidorm did as well as expected really. HIGNFY should bounce back next week so I doubt BBC will be too concerned. Quote:

Please bear in mind that C4 [SD] went off air on Sky/Freesat just after Part 1 of Hollyoaks and was down for about 20 minutes, so the entire second part was missed by everyone watching on those platforms. That's probably the reason for the awful rating. A breakdown would be helpful to see if the ratings suddenly fall after 18:40.
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s....php?t=1458753 18:30- 769.8 18:35- 820.2 18:40- 643.1 18:45- 633.1 18:50- 595.9 18:55- 519.5 Usually the audience for Hollyoaks rises throughout the episode. That did happen for the first 10 minutes but as soon as the Sky/Freesat problems started, the audience dropped every 5 minutes which is very unusual for the show. |

Exactly what I predicted would happen, happened. HIGNFY suffered from crap scheduling, with the QI repeat offering little attraction "over the hour" against ITV's offering "over the hour". Common sense dictates people will have watched Benidorm and taped HIGNFY. It hardly needs Chief Inspector Lewis on the case to work that one out... Quote:
Awful start for QOS...
Still, it's poor compared to what the 7.30pm repeats were getting last time out. Perhaps people didn't expect it there, having got used to QI repeats for the past few months? Not a major concern. Think today's ratings, particularly for the National, will be a shocker. It's a gorgeously warm and sunny day up here, and I think pretty much everywhere else too. |

Last time it clashed against Benidorm, HIGNFY (20.3% share for that ep) was paired with The Armstrong & Miller Show which had 3.65m which is not all that different to what the QI repeat had last night - essentially the same when you take the weather into account (A&M was shown in the Autumn). HIGNFY traditionally does better than yesterday did share-wise, even if the second half hour (9.30-10pm) rates poorly and "offers little attraction over the hour", as you put it. You just have to look at last Autumn's figures when it was paired up with the massive ratings flop that was Reggie Perrin (sub 3m) and it still managed 20%+ for its episodes, apart from the ones which clashed against IAC. Incidentally, I didn't say it was a bad rating for it last night but I just expected it to be nudging at that 5m/20-21% mark especially as it was the opening episode of the series.
