Against Crappy Cabs?
Hm, of course. I know what the charge laid against me would be if I'd said that about a BBC1 drama... ![]() Collision: -16% Above Suspicion: -20% Father & Son: -21% So if we assume it drops about ~20% (in line with those other dramas), it'd be just under 4.5m which is what I predicted on the RPG. Even a 10% drop-off, which is the very least it'll fall by, would put it at 4.8m (so not too far away from that 4.5m mark). These Mon/Tue two-parters traditionally don't hold up so well on ITV1 for their second parts, dropping quite a bit. Father & Son, incidentally, began with exactly the same Monday figure as Reckoning and went up against Luther on the Tuesday which was performing similarly to Candy Cabs, if not worse, and it ended up with 4.24m for part 2 so I can see the similarities there. I'm not "doing a Robbie" and deliberately under-predicting, this is what I genuinely think it'll get, especially as in last night's episode breakdown the audience dropped off quite a bit according to reports (it was below 4.5m exc. HD in the last 15 mins). |

EastEnders performed brilliantly once agin, though Coronation Street and Emmerdale did well. They look low thanks to EastEnders but they performed strongly all the same.
Pretty good for The Reckoning but Motorcop Cops held up for filler. |

Contrast that to Channel 4's usual programming policy at midnight - a bunch of music videos, recorded music programmes and poker tournaments - and that must be one of the most expensive programmes they have aired in that slot for a very long time!

For anyone that doesn't go into the Broadcasting forum, the chances of F1 leaving the BBC appear to be greater, Sky News have one of their famed exclusives that News Corporation is thinking of taking over Formula One. If such a deal happens a lot of TV rights changes will probably occur.

Dreadful news about Dr Who's Elizabeth Sladen (The Sarah Jane Adventures).

RIP Elisabeth Sladen.
![]() In keeping the sad news related to ratings, apparently three episodes of the next series of the Sarah Jane Adventures have been filmed; I'm not sure about the other three episodes. There should be a dedication before or after Doctor Who on Saturday. |

I wonder if they'll end the series or continue it without Lis Sladen. If they were me, I would end it with the already filmed episodes.

Well there's an almighty number of massive "ifs" in that over-excited little Sky News piece. |

Sarah Jane, my feeling is that they should use the footage recorded for one story, the story of her last few months, and hope the footage is there to give her a good end, obviously it would be awesome to see both Ten & Eleven Doctors involved some how, that would make it really specail, but that isnt as easily done as my typing it.

a sport owned by News Corp has no place on the BBC, no way licecne fee payers money should be spent on such a sport.
I wouldn't get carried away. It's not as if it's going to happen, it's only a possible bid they might consider whether to possibly mount. Or not... |

Not sure if this has been reported already but it seems BBC HD are dropping the 10pm EE repeat after April 29th. Good decision.
Repeats of the soap move to 4:30pm after Doctors from May 9th. |

It's like the Superbowl - claim a billion watch it, but when you ad up the figures it's something pathetically low like 120m, 100m of which are in the US.
It'll probably only just about reach a third of us Brits - so a third of the world seeing it seems highly unlikely. Always remember this article: http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/f...ht-438302.html Is the royal wedding really going to get 8 times the audience of the Football World Cup Final? Certainly not if we're talking about people watching the whole event or even a significant part of it (say 15 minutes minimum). Of course if we're talking about seeing 2 minutes on a news programme then I guess it could be over a billion. |

Good BBC3 repeat rating too. Corrie also rated well |

Not great by my reckoning...
![]() With a poor BBC1 offering (albeit MC would have been expected to do better than that I think), a big-trailed Monday night Corrie-lead in ITV drama premiere should be doing better than the low 5s - assuming the 5.4m also includes the +1 figure, so was actually probably 5.1-5.2m? Great result again for EastEnders, although I might have hoped for something closer to an 11m overnight for the big climax of the story, putting it closer to Coro St in the 2011 chart. I guess EE won't have a chance to post threatening numbers again till the autumn now? "Where necessary"? Are +1 ratings ever necessary? ![]() We could be seeing figures of 10million if the weather really is that bad. I think the final episode of 'Sarah Jane' should air in the evening slot before Doctor who rather then on CBBC I wonder of they will dedicate the episode to Liz this Saturday? |

According to the weather forecasters summer looks set to be a washout (July at least) so who knows.

The way the BBC are scheduling Doctor Who, the Sarah Jane Adventures will have to be aired mid afternoon to fit it in before Doctor Who.

Good BBC3 repeat rating too. Corrie also rated well Those wanting EastEnders in HD have the option to watch it or record it on BBC1 - and if they miss it they can either wait for the HD repeat or opt for it in SD on BBC3. I do think though the decision to air it at 4.30pm is an odd one. Usually if 10pm isn't available there is a slot on BBC HD either at 10.30pm or slightly later where it could go. Indeed I'm not sure about all these repeats of content from BBC1 to fill the schedules on BBC HD now BBC1 HD is there for that purpose. Surely considering BBC HD is three in one channels there must be enough HD content between them without repeating stuff aired a few hours earlier on BBC1 HD. |

The long range forecasts I've seen suggest a fairly average summer - better in the south, more unsettled in the north and northwest. Normal stuff then. |

I can't see how the BBC can justify it even without the budget cuts considering it's such an exclusive sport.
It's motor racing, a sport enjoyed right across the social scale. |
