FOX's new drama scheduling may depends heavily on where X Factor goes. With Simon no longer planning to travel, they can have their pick of either Tuesday/Wednesday or Wednesday/Thursday.

Tue/Wed is easier for dealing with the baseball (they can move a day later if necessary and it's better to move to Thursday than Friday). And at least one week will be Tue/Wed because of Thanksgiving.
I think Wednesday/Thursday but you have to factor in baseball and it has to finish by early December so I wouldn't be surprised if it launches in late August/early September. NCIS, NCIS Los Angeles and DWTS have seen gains since Idol moved out of Tuesdays so they not be happy if X Factor airs on Tuesday/Wednesdays.

Some commissioning news - The BBC have renewed Not Going Out for a further two series. Not bad for a show that was originally canned.

The full story is here http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011...-bbc1-lee-mack

Good news for ratings fans is that STV and ITV have settled their long running dispute. As a result we are likely to see less STV opt outs on major ITV shows and hence larger ratings for shows such as Downtown, Doc Martin and other dramas.

i thought stv didn't show series 1 of downton - so they're unlikely to show series 2 - unless of course they schedule a quick first showing of series 1 there beforehand...

For most Scots, this new (to them) drama will look like it's cashing in on the success last Christmas of Upstairs Downstairs...

A very sad day for regional broadcasting reflecting the social, political and cultural diversity of the UK's nations.

New Saturday night show for BBC1:
Comedian Lee Mack is to front a Saturday night BBC1 variety series in which members of the public will perform with celebrities.

Lee Mack’s All Star Cast will be co-produced by Endemol’s Zeppotron and Mack’s own company, Arlo Productions. Each week, Mack will welcome a celebrity guest, a stand-up comedian and musical acts to the show, with the studio audience invited to take part.

They will participate in the celebrity interviews and join in with games in which Mack casts different members of the audience in specific roles. The finale sees the audience and the celebrities coming together to perform.

The format was piloted in December with Catherine Tate among the guests on the show.

The 6 x 45-minute series has been ordered by BBC1 channel controller Danny Cohen and entertainment commissioning editor Karl Warner. The latter said Mack’s “unique style of comedy makes him the perfect host for a Saturday night series”.

Zeppotron creative directors Neil Webster and Peter Holmes will exec produce the series with Mack for Arlo Productions. Mack is a panel show regular and has starred in four series of BBC1 sitcom Not Going Out.

Also a new one-off drama for ITV1, most likely to be shown in the run up to Christmas:
ITV today announced the commissioning of Fast Freddie, the Widow and Me, a 1 X 90 minute drama written by Christopher Dunlop (Cape Wrath, No Angels) and produced by STV for ITV1.

Fast Freddie, the Widow and Me will be directed by David Richards (The Runaway, Albert’s Memorial). The producer is Madonna Baptiste (Long Walk to Finchley, Mrs Mandela) and the executive producer for STV is Margaret Enefer (Taggart, Death in Holy Orders).

Jonathan Donald, early 30s, is a wealthy, brash, over-confident luxury car dealer who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. After being found guilty of a drink driving charge, Jonathan expects to get off lightly but instead receives a community service order in the run up to Christmas, 60 hours with The Moonbeam Club, a support organisation for young adults with social and behavioural difficulties run by recently widowed, Laura Cooper.

After a disastrous first day, Jonathan is sent packing by Laura, she and the group have no use for him and his prejudice. But Jonathan is forced to return by an even less impressed Judge, who serves him a longer order.

Jonathan’s attitude and commitment begins to change as he gets to know one of the club’s member’s – eighteen year old Freddie Copeland. Feisty, an expert with gadgets and a demon on the PlayStation, Jonathan is shocked to learn Freddie suffers from kidney disease and genetic heart condition which means he’ll be lucky to survive the next couple of months. One of Freddie’s dreams is to have his own idea of a perfect Christmas. But having grown up in various care homes Freddie knows his dream is unlikely to come true, especially since he’s never had the courage to make contact with his real mother.

Against Laura’s careful advice, Jonathan decides to take it upon himself to give Freddie the Christmas he’s always dreamed of. But can he make the impossible possible and make his final Christmas the best Freddie has ever had?

When Kate Met William rated poorly, with Secret Millionaire running it close. I suspect CSI and Champions League football were pretty close too. To be honest, I'm not surprised it rated so low as there's so many documentaries about it at the moment and ITV1 have been struggling in that slot with 2's and low 3's becoming the norm recently and I couldn't see it doing much better than that. Although with that said, I do think it's one of those things which probably would've rated in the mid 3's had it been used as a 30-min filler up against EastEnders sandwiched between two soaps. They've got something like that on Thursday, which'll probably rate a million better.

See - the Celtic diversity stuff can do ok against mainstream ITV1 output.

That 2.4m might well turn out to be ITV1's most-watched wedding programming this week...

Sounds like it may be more in the spirit of the Generation Game. Interesting.

Any new Saturday night entertainment show that doesn't involve Graham Norton/Lloyd Webber, Nick Knowles or dancing dogs has to be welcomed, surely?

I wonder if Ask Rhod Gilbert will be returning? That show had a bit of a "Saturday night fun" feel to it for me, not boring winter Mondays late night. I think it could work well in a 7pm Saturday slot, away from the SCD/TXF-airing months.

Another awful Tuesday for ITV1- I wonder if Countrywise will be pulled and moved back to Mondays where it's capable of ~3.5m? I can see now why Millionaire aired in that slot for so long, because there's not much else capable of 3m+. Apart from reintroducing the hour long Emmerdale I'm not sure what else could boost the night, although that wouldn't be a popular move with soap fans and an episode would need to be displaced from somewhere else. Not surprised the royal doc flopped with all the terrestrials airing one over the course of this week. Ch5's performed OK by their standards.

The Ch5 soaps rebounded to decent levels, as did Hollyoaks back over 1m. CSI back over 2m which is good and decent return for Secret Millionaire with 2.7m inc+1 which should boost Tuesdays for the next few weeks as there isn't many 2m+ hits for Ch4 right now. It may also increase in future weeks with weaker factual competition.

I think the Masterchef final will be slightly higher than last year's final, it's a success but nowhere near as big as The Apprentice or its Australiah counterpart.

Funny that the Channel 5 William and Kate doc did alright but the ITV one flopped, it didn't help that it was the third documentary in two days. The Secret Millionaire did well, I think Channel 4 have learnt their lesson of overexposing their shows.

Campus is dead, I'm surprised Channel 4 didn't move it to 11pm.

ITV are to get CLs first picks again on Tuesdays in the next rights deal. Cue Coronation Street's return to Wednesdays at 7.30 perhaps? Although perhaps they will retain the Thursday 8pm soap hour & move the Friday 8.30 show?
