you know what worrys me about the Cheryl Cole / The Voice stories, is that it suggests that ITV is leading, and the BBC is following, which really isnt how it should be.
Moving on, if Cheryl really feels she cant work for Simon Cowell again (which im not sure I buy, are we really to believe she is so high on her own self importantce than X-Factor UK is now beneath her?) she could always join Jeresy Shore: Newcastle ![]() Geordie Shore, thats it, she could always join Geordie Shore, forgot the name for the moment. |

The golf was on SS2 on Thursday and Friday, anyone got any figures?
At least those who put SS on to watch the golf, actually want to watch it!! Thu 26th May: 15:00-18:00: 92k Fri 27th May: 15:00-18:00: 120k Quote:
I read today that 529 people attended Northern Ireland vs Wales game as Dublin's Aviva Stadium on Friday night. Sky are quoted as saying that the tv ratings aren't too bad even though their involvement in showing Carling Nations Cup is under review.
Does anybody have any figures for the game on Sky on Friday night? |

Wales v Northern Ireland (19:00- 22:00): 139k
It really looks like the FAI (Football Association of Ireland) have really messed up in trying to overprice an event where there is very limit demand. Also the absence of a lot of key players from the team squads hasn't helped. |

Awful night for BBC1, even before the football started. Not quite sure why DW fell so dramatically considering it was up against the pre football commentary which usually rates really badly. I was expecting 6m+. I also expected stuff like the lottery to hold up better, considering it does better than that against BGT which surely shares more of an audience.
As expected for the football, and Ch4's Titanic repeat did well and MPD got a boost from weak competition. Decent enough for CSI:NY's penultimate episode, which was probably the best episode in a quite a while. |

Perhaps ITV (aka MUTV) can persuade their mate Sir Alex to name Jedward on the subs bench if Utd make the final next year?
![]() you're actually borderline obsessed. only you could turn a great football rating into a disaster by comparing it to Eurovision of all things. You must be torture in real life if someone mentions they watched a programme on ITV. |

whilst we are making Jedwood jokes, I hear romours that Channels 5s next reality show will be "I want to be Jedwood"
or Jedward as its apparntly spelt. The show seeks to find two Jedwood look a likes, in order to sub for the boys, when they are too busy to attending the opening of your local Poundland.

Thanks - not too bad then given the woeful atmosphere of playing to an empty house. I'm sure Sky would keep the rights if they were cheap and they could get some reasonable atmosphere at the grounds.

ITV moving soaps from Sunday hasn't helped. Thats an extra hour in the week. At the risk of restarting soap scheduling debates, if the Sunday soap hour was reinstated, probably rating better than The Cube, it would release an hour on weekday primetime, probably Thursday 8pm, for non-soap content.
The sixth Emmerdale doesn't help - but if that was dropped (or returned to 7.30pm against EE) and Thursdays Corrie moves to Wednesday that frees up an hour to start with and at least sees ITV return to offering a mix of shows from Tue-Thu after 8pm. Quote:
11m is a pretty poor peak given the wall to wall hype, and the teams involved. That 19m peak in 1999 seems of another age.

So 139k watched on Sky - the Wales games were also on S4C (though not with the English commentary option) - I wonder if they may have outrated Sky. P.S. Notice in the on-air promos C4 have renamed Diagnosis: Live from the Clinic as Embarassing Bodies: Live from the Clinic. |

Doctor Who definitely timeshifts more now than 2-4 years ago when David Tennant was in it. Here's the average timeshifts for the 1st four episodes of each regular series since 2007:
David Tennant series: 2007- 0.43m 2008- 0.74m Matt Smith series: 2010- 1.85m 2011- 1.99m So timeshift in Matt Smiths' two series has been almost 3 times more than David Tennant's last proper series, over 4 times more compared to the 2007 one. Interesting stats. It seems that timeshift technology continues to get easier and easier to use and more and more people now fit television into their life rather than run their life around television. As it should be. And my award for Best Poster on the DS Ratings Thread goes to rzt. On this thread we have: RobbieSykes spinning for the BBC. GeorgeS spinning for ITV Dancc spinning for Channel 5 and various other posters showing their bias for one channel or another and then we have neutral rzt who counters the propaganda and uninformed comments with plain facts. Well done, rzt. Keep it up

she might be too "fragile" too accept
![]() Rather strange to see the BBC casting a show they havent commissioned yet? Of course its all b******ks and Cole will be back on the UK XFactor soon ![]() Its a remarkable coincidence that this 'story' was timed with perfection to coincide with TXF-Dancing Dogs Edition taking over the schedules like an ebola virus for the next week with the chief ebola-spreader returning to the circus too. Call me an old cynic... All over the front pages again today. Like anyone really gives a flying frig. I might try and get a superinjunction out against Cheryl Cole/Simon Cowell stories... |

Those aren't included in BARB figures are they? I watch more on the iPlayer than I did a few years ago (including catching up on DW!). I'm not actually surprised that DW fell against prematch Football, because of all the hype surrounding the game. After all a live event always benefits from well (stating the obvious) being 'live' and even though it wasn't the match itself it does enable people to be part of the atmosphere/build up to the match. |

A lot of premature comments regarding Doctor Who's "decline". If people compared the total reach figures for this series against earlier series then the picture would be totally different.

7.9m?! Incl +1?!
![]() 1.6m less than Eurovision the other week?! ![]() I guess the match must have been at 10m+, but still! Kudos to DW staying at 5m against the football build up. |

Can't see there being much audience for football or indeed any other sport on +1. I think most would just tune in at half time rather than watch from the beginning an hour late.

Last years episode's were quite boring ans it was just 'Teen week' and characters that people didn't care about.
This years seemes action packed so could pull in the loyal viewers and casual EastEnders viewers that don't watch BGT If i remember rightly the Monday and Tuesday Enders ratings were ok but fell Thursday and Friday last year

Apart from In It To Win It, Who Dares Wins usually holds up the best out of the Lottery formats. It's capable of 5-6m against easy competition and manages high 3's/low 4's against tough competition like BGT most weeks. Last night's was an exception to the rule. I don't think 3.3m is too disasterous considering how poor the lead-in was and Casualty after it got 'only' 0.5m more.
Looking at the Champions League vs Lottery last year (22nd May). In It to Win It 2012 - 5.29 million Champions League: Bayern Munich Vs Inter Milan 3.17 million If last night's final didn't feature an English side then the figures would be the same to last year. Don't forget this is also the start of the Summer Term half term for schools, also being it a bank holiday weekend. You could say that is a factor as well. |

What is it with BBC's golf viewers? Why would anyone want to watch the top players and then not bother with their last four holes!!
I can imagine the moronic conversations "Shall we watch Luke Donald finish his round, or stay on BBC One as "Don't Scare the Hare" is on next?" There are so many 'casual' viewers. The golf was on SS2 on Thursday and Friday, anyone got any figures? At least those who put SS on to watch the golf, actually want to watch it!! |

The BBC Two golf figure was actually lower than that because there was egg-chasing on BBC Two Wales, which has been included in that overnight figure.

If you don't like Robbie's posts, use the "ignore" button. I love the Robbie/GeorgeS banter. It's made me laugh out loud a few times today. |
