I hadn't seen the RT listing until you pointed it out. I hope they haven't changed it at the last minute. But either way, we will use the timings above now.”

Thanks for clarifying - makes perfect sense!

The wedding-related ratings are tough to guess.

I think that predicting the ratings for the Royal Wedding is far, far, far, far too difficult and for that reason, as the Dragons say, I'm out (for this week).

That's a shame iain, but I understand. It's just a bit of fun though, I don't think anybody is seriously expecting to score anything for the Royal Wedding.

I'm looking forward to seeing if anyone does, though.

Dancc - because it's blind week will you be posting everyone's predictions on the thread after the deadline or will you just post the average predictions and biggest ranges, as usual?

I dunno, I was wondering about that. What would you prefer to see? I'm happy to do either.

I know you used to post them all up after, which was always interesting (and occasionally embarrassing).

I don't mind either way, whichever one's easier for you

. Although, I suppose, I am quite interested in seeing the wide range of predictions for the Royal Wedding - I bet it's got the biggest range for any show predicted ever

It's looking that way, definitely.

If I don't post all of the Week 4 predictions up after the deadline, which I still may do, what I could do instead is just post a summary of what everyone has predicted for the Royal Wedding itself. How's that?

Yeah, that sounds great

. The Royal Wedding is the hardest prediction ever because there's not much we can base our predictions on - the last major Royal Wedding was in a completely different era, and even that rating was based on just the ceremony, whereas we'll be predicting a figure based on the whole near-4 hour coverage. Very tough

Decided to send some predictions for the first time in a while... what have I just got myself into I don't know...

Dan, once you've got everyones predictions, could you post them on the proper Ratings Thread? Think it would make for interesting reading.

Sure, I'm happy to do that. The averages you mean?

Yeah, the averages.

Most of the time, as a group, we are quite close.
