If you include promos as adverts then technically BBC1 are the first to show adverts after the wedding, showing loads of promos around the news bulletin.
ITV last aired adverts about 8.20 during Daybreak. There seems to be a real surprise reaction to ITV's coverage. The Phil & Julie presenting line up was ridiculed when announced, but many are now saying it worked really well, with lots of upbeat banter and pitched at exactly the right level. Huw Edwards sat on his own was at times like a funeral. IMO the BBC should have trailed tonights EastEnders seeing as scenes are being filmed today and the Wedding will be shown in tonights episode in what looks like a Happy and Fun episode

The promotion was just of Big Moments on the BBC over the years.

true, the annoying thing here is that posters are not balanced - for instance Andy23, Brekkie and GeorgeS are never going to negative about ITV, while Robbie will never be negative about the BBC

There seemed to be a few sec delay on ITV it seemed. Well according to Martin Lewis on twitter, ITV were ahead of the BBC on showing the dress. So it looks like bbc were delayed! The BBC seemed to have gone and spoke to the crowd and shown around London alot more. ITV done the horrible split screens thing. Realistically what difference does it make if ITV or the BBC were a couple of seconds apart? ![]() I don't know how you can say "BBC seemed to have gone and spoke to the crowd and shown around London alot more." ITV keep going to Mark Austin who's trending on twitter becuase of how amusing he is getting mobed by the crowds! The spilt screen was useful i thought, for example they could show The Queen arriving at the Abbey as well as one of the other royals ( can't remember which one) Quote:

![]() Looking at the news it seems there's quite alot of events and around 5,000 street partys so EastEnders is just showing whats going on across the UK today. Why should Walford be any different. Neighbours fits in a scene tonight as well don't they |

On the iPlayer listings, the BBC have split the coverage into:
8:00am The Royal Wedding 10:00am The Royal Wedding 1:40pm BBC News at One 2:00pm BBC London News 2:10pm The Royal Wedding 4:00pm BBC News Whether that is purely for the iPlayer or will be used as the official Barb split times remains to be seen. |

What no one has said is that we may well see the BBC News at 1:40pm bulletin get a very high figure (or everyone hops to ITV). I imagine the BBC felt a general promotion for BBC1 would be a more appropriate trailer at this juncture than one for an individual programme like Dr Who, So You Think You Can Dance or Exile. Of course, they could have gone with no trailer at all, but that would have just confused them. |

Changing topic a minute, but notice the excellent Pyschoville is back next Thursday on BBC2 for it's second series. What sort of figures did it get for the first?

A lot of Huw Edwards, certainly when everyone was going to the Abbey, seemed to be almost 100% scripted.
Obviously I would expect him to have prepared a great deal but possibly not quite a complete word for word script? |

IIRC the ratings weren't that great, I remember being surprised and delighted that it got a second series. |

ITV done the horrible split screens thing Not that any of it matters, ITV have had an excellent Royal Wedding, but it won't be reflected in the numbers. BBC 1 'default status' always kicks in for events of this nature. Back to last night, if Long Lost Family could come top against those ratings juggernauts, it could do very well for the remainder of the series and a recommission seems likely. Crucially, a potential returning factual series for ITV. Next week it's up against a documentary about the human body on BBC One. |

Just seen a new Ch5 schedule on Radio Times for Thursday May 12th:
8pm-Emergency Bikers (NEW) 9pm-Extreme Fishing (NEW) 10pm-Impossible (NEW) 11pm-Banged Up Abroad (NEW) What a strong schedule with returning series of EB, EF and BUA and a brand new illusion show at 10pm. I was wondering where Impossible would be slotted and that seems like a decent slot. Seems like they're continuing to target men on Thursdays after the football finishes. Also Ch5 have a fairly decent schedule today with Royal Wedding specials of The Wright Stuff & OK:TV. Neighbours had a special scene fitted in, there's slightly extended news bulletins & a repeat of the William & Kate film. More than Ch4 seem to be doing. |

Could we see a combined peak of 30 million today? (Adding BBC/ITV/SKY peaks) - ratings may suffer as it has been a long broadcast since 8.00am.
The BBC has an air of gravitas about it, ITV seems a lot more fluffy, both have an audience and hopefully the viewing figures will be impressive. |

I'm going for 28 million viewers, with the BBC taking 24 million, ITV1 3 million and Sky News 1 million.

Sorry, Dan, but I usually watch BBC on occasions like these but tried both in the first hour or so then stuck with ITV as they added a touch of lightness rather than gravitas. At a wedding it is what you want.
Schofe at twitter, or whatever he kept promoting himself as, was a nice easy watch. I agree that BBC will win the ratings but next time more just might give ITV a try as they exceeded my expectations today. Though I should add that going ad free for 6 hours was a major reason we stuck with ITV. That will surely have cost them money but won them viewers. |

Hooray it's all over. ITV now paying the bills with some advertising.
But don't forget you can relive it all over again for 90 minutes in primetime tonight on BBC One.
