I think that looks about right, I'm sure they'd rather save Doctor Who until September but with 13 episodes of Merlin to fit in

Sunday Mirror - Kevin O'Sullivan
Sorry Katie - I owe Katie Price an apology. In my column last week I stated that her Sky Living reality show had been axed. I got this wrong, and obviously I would like to say sorry to Katie and thank her for dealing with this so fairly. I think Saturday June 4th could be a funny old afternoon, because just before the England football match (ITV1) is the Epsom Derby (4pm, BBC1). At the moment, The Queen (who has never had a fancied runner in the race) owns the hot favourite Carlton House. Surely the Beeb would heavily advertise this fact in the days leading up to the race. |

The BBC treat Doctor Who like crud. They're lucky it's so bloody good or viewers wouldn't keep up with it all! It performed admirably between the sh!tstorm any way and will timeshift brilliantly so not to worry.
The reason i don't leave it till Sunday is I can guarantee someone will reveal the ending before I've had a chance to see it. Why it can't be repeated later on Saturday for people who weren't at home earlier in the evening beats the hell out of me? It's not as if the BBC is short of channels.

Any data for the Heineken Cup final on Sky Sports 1/HD 1 between 4pm and 7:30pm? It was quite a dramatic and unpredictable afternoon of rugby to say the least, with favourites Leinster staging one of the greatest comebacks of all-time in the second half to deny Northampton. We had one hand on the trophy at HT, but alas it wasn't to be. Another disappointing end to a season for us.
![]() Still, hopefully it got the audience it deserved because despite the heartbreaking result it was a classic. |

Had this been on ITV2, then it would have been cancelled, as ratings for her shows since Katie and Peter have fallen by 80pc, but as it is on Living, 220,000 is good for them.
Katie will no doubt be disappointed with the audience drop but she's done enough for a recommission given Living's standards are a lot lower as you've rightly pointed out. I reckon they would have been expecting more from it though. |

Eurovision didn't have a head start, both it and BGT began at 8pm.
In which case, BGT did fairly beat Eurovision head-to-head. ![]() Quote:
Neat idea, although doesn't Ant & Dec's BGT auditions commitments mean that wouldn't be possible in January next year? I think PokerFace is dead though - it's a good format but it'd be about 5 years since the last series and ITV don't usually bring back shows which haven't been on air for that long unless they were 'classics'. Knowing ITV they'll probably put the next series of Primeval in a plum slot
If they can try and get Ant & Dec to do Saturday Night Takeaway from January, I think the following schedule would be pretty good: 19:00- TV Burp, 19:30- Saturday Night Takeaway, 20:45- Take Me Out, 22:00- Jonathan Ross No big hitters but certainly better than the last couple of years. Although instead of Jonathan Ross' show, they might show a movie at that time due to using up 36mins of their allocated 40 by the time it'd begin. Even though I used to think TMO was better off earlier in the evening, ratings for the last series showed it was capable of a good audience post 9pm and there's not many other ITV shows which are capable of getting the audience it does post-9pm on a Saturday so I'd leave it for that sort of later timeslot. I agree that Pokerface probably won't come back. The reason I put it in was that this discussion was set off last night by the news that ITV might buy Gallowgate and how they might get some worth out of it. |

I actually am starting to think that ITV is already protecting Ant & Dec from failure.
I believe that both BGT & Im a Celeb... would be hits without Ant & Dec, Im a celeb... maybe less so, but with Poker Face and Takeaway off the air, do Ant & Dec have any TV shows which are titlted "Ant & Decs..." on ITV at the moment? that isnt the case with BGT & Im a celeb.... Black & white or whatever that Cowell format is called, is again an example of a show which may not need Ant & Dec to be a hit. |

You've never played roulette, have you? ![]() Ant & Dec won't be the determining factor in whether the show is a hit. But they'll help both because they're the highest profile UK presenters but also because they're the best around. |

sorry forgot about Push The Button
The ratings are only ok, from the research I just did, far from the big hits of BGT & Im a Celeb... the BBC seem to be having a good night at the BAFTAs. |

Unlike BGT, there is no US version of Push The Button (isnt that a Sugarbabes song? ) |

Good figure for Britain's Got Talent. Doctor Who did ok and should timeshift well. Sing If You Can is working well with the Britain's Got Talent lead out but I think it'll be stranded without it. So You Think You Can Dance? is a disaster. It didn't perform this badly last year IIRC and isn't up to much in terms of opposition so it's a bit confusing what has gone so drastically wrong this series.

I still think they have not yet found their best format, and I rather doubt they ever will if they remain attached to Mr Cowells coattails. |

I guess, given that they both started as kids on a kids show Ant and Dec have done pretty well for themselves.

However after the early Takeaways they just seem to have been consumed by the Cowell shows rather than becoming true stars in their own right.

I was thinking maybe a new Little Ant & Dec! Although the new Little Ant would need a receeding hairline which could be tricky.
For it to work they'd need Ant & Dec to get fully involved, though - doing things like Undercover again. January 2012: 6.30pm - Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway 7.30pm - Pokerface (new hosts) 8.30pm - Take Me Out Obviously ITV or other indies might have some cracking ideas just waiting to anchor their Saturday night schedules in January. But recent history suggests that they don't. And I'm 99% sure that the above line-up would make a significant improvement on the past couple of years if they're determined to keep DOI on Sundays only. Personally I think they'd be better off spinning the Ant vs Dec segment into a show of it's own, something they can pre-record in summer/autumn and do on a much bigger scale by not doing it live. And I think ITV would be better off giving Duel a second chance rather than Poker Face. Indeed it should have got a second chance first time around, but whether on Saturdays or tweaked for daytime it's a decent enough format and those who watched it rated it very highly, so expose it enough this time around and it might have a shot.

There aren't actually that many Cowell shows, and they only present one of them (soon to be two).
Maybe Cowell has just swallowed the entire decade
