Thanks. Not too great for the Extra show then, down 0.6 share points on Monday. It's following a similar pattern to Vanessa, which is not good at all.

One more request if you'd be as kind (thanks btw for all the data you post, most of us really appreciate it) do you know whether Holby got 5.2m or 5.3m when rounded? I need this figure for the DSRPG but the only figure I can find is 5.25m.

Cheers.

"Strictly Kosher"?

That sounds like the worst peaktime documentary commission since Channel 5's "Paranormal Pigeons".

Looks like Murray won't be on until at least 5pm, so it looks like that will go into primetime.

Selfishly I'm delighted, I don't get home until 5:30 and really want to see this match!

5.3m when rounded, according to BARB. Here's the 15 min breakdown:

8pm - 5.3m
8.15 - 5.1m
8.30 - 5.2m
8.45 - 5.5m
9pm - 5.5m

I can already hear the BBC moaners getting ready to complain, to be honest as long as the match is done by 9pm tonight which is likely, then the BBC would be foolish not to show it on BBC1

Shaping up to be a monster night for BBC1, then. A Murray match and then The Apprentice.

Meanwhile Tomic is out! Bad news for Seven. But definitely one to watch for the future that player.

Idle bit of speculation:

As Regional News must be on BBC1, anyone think they may:

- Murray BBC1 whole match
- 6pm News BBC2
- Regional News delayed till end of match but stays on BBC1

Murray quite likely to win easily so odds are he'll finish by 8pm allowing easily enough time for Regional News before Apprentice.

Or just cancel the Reigonal news altogether?
Hardly gonna be a big loss

I'm not sure the regional news teams up and down the country that will have been working hard preparing tonight's programmes will feel quite the same way!

Somehow I don't think everyone will be pleased about that.

We're all awaiting how the tennis goes this afternoon/eve, to learn when we are on-air with Points West & for how long! Contingency plans..!

Suggests to me that BBC1 will be staying with Wimbledon and Murray for the entirety.

I dont recall that.


Im watching it at the moment, a little more in depth, with "experts" on the topics being discussed, the problem is like The Wright Stuff its really just radio on TV.

Ive watched it with another browser window on top of the video, and I really dont feel like im missing anything.

As for the Tennis, I can see why they would want it on BBC 1, it should have good ratings, Murray is doing well this year (did I just say that?), but selfishly I have nothing to watch on BBC 1 tonight, so I dont mind what it does.

Going to be plenty of fun and games with this Murray match on BBC One. Unless it turns into a complete epic, they'll probably get away with delaying the Regional News.


I don't pretend to really know the shows particularly well - but it seems bizarre that two-thirds of TWS audience doesn't bother sticking around for an 'Extra' portion.

Does the Extra show come from the same set or a different one? Could the two shows be better integrated?

it does come from the same set, but from a differnt part of it. It has a differnt presenter, and the celebrity panel is not involved.

I do agree however its odd viewers dont transfer to Wright Stuff Extra, I guess The Wright Stuff is on to long for people watch another hour, TWS audience is made of Matthew Wright fans.

Re- ITV & Law and Order

Did Paterson and Daniels decide to leave or were they axed to freshen things up?

And re - Wimbledon.

Regional news will probably suffer but won't make much difference up here in ITV rules land!

I think the figures were rounded up/down to the nearest 100k so it's probably not nearly as dramatic as two-thirds. A big drop nonetheless though.


I don't think they could integrate them any better. Matthew throws to Gabby twice during the main show to tease what's on Extra, and there's a reminder at the end too.

Time will tell but it could just be as Charnham said that three hours of this kind of TV is too much for the bulk of the audience. It's a promising little show though so hopefully it will pick up. It was also very unlucky to launch on the hottest day of the year.

They decided to leave. All the actors were under contract do a possible 2 series of 13 episodes (which have now all aired), after which it was their decision if they wanted to continue to do more or not. Apparently Bill Paterson might appear in a couple of the upcoming episodes in a guest role, although I haven't seen any firm confirmation of that happening.

Tuesday finale of The Voice had 12.55m (4.3), it's highest audience in 4 weeks (when it aired after the AGT premiere). The demo rating will likely be moved up a tenth to be in line with the past couple of weeks.

America's Got Talent was steady at 8pm with 12.04m (3.2) - it has moved up two tenths in finals for the 2 previous episodes. Like The Voice, a 3.4 would be flat with last week.

Wipeout was up a tenth to 1.8 with 5.52m which just pipped Masterchef which went the otherway to a 1.7 and 4.22m. 101 Ways To Lose A Gameshow held its lead-in with a 1.8 and 5.27m viewers, down just a tenth from the premiere. At 10pm, ABC's Canadian drama import Combat Hospital dropped a tenth as well but that brought it down to a very low 1.1 and 4.61m.

Season finale of The Voice tonight at 8pm leading into America's Got Talent at 9pm and NBC's Survivor/The Bachelor hybrid reality series, Love In The Wild premieres at 10pm. Assuming The Voice delivers a big number at 8pm, AGT could hit a season high (last weeks 3.9 followed a 3.3 for The Voice) which ought to give Love In The Wild a decent shot at success.

I expect the BBC News and TOS will move to BBC2.

The Regional News delayed to 7pm or 7.30pm with Waterloo Road either at 7.30pm as billed or delayed to 8pm

The Apprentice as billed at 9pm

I'm sure they'll do something strange though.

It's difficult to plan when you've no idea how long the match will last? It could be over in an hour but it could run for 4, no way of knowing.

They could plan by erm...moving it to BBC2 and not disrupting the schedule too heavily. You know, PBS remit about local news and all that.

Once the token Brit entrant goes out (at the hands of Rafa) normal order will be restored

Hasn't Britain's men's tennis come a long way since it was considered an achievement if Buster Mottram survived into day two? Now that the viewers are also denied the amusing bad behaviour of John Mc Enroe that attracted millions to Wimbledon, the rise of a British male player that does well has been a big bonus to the BBC.

Expect us to be on page 119 by 10pm
