Hoping James May does well tonight on BBC2, I think F1 will hold on to a decent audience share, will it beat The Royal on ITV1 though?
Edit: maybe not now that the race has temporarily stopped. Quote:
Can Case Histories pip Scott & Bailey this week?
Scott & Bailey ought to be ahead, considering Case Histories probably won't rate as well as last week's opener (5.4m). I think Scott & Bailey's experienced its biggest drop for episode 2 and it should stabilise around the high 5's/low 6's from now on, which I can't see Case Histories matching.

ITV will be well aware that all you need is a heatwave and suddenly the entire schedule is dented. It isn't worth airing expensive programming on Saturdays in July & August.
This has been the case long before Cowell came onto the scene. |

I'm no F1 expert but with 48 laps left in the race, and each lap taking about ~2 mins (?), it looks almost certain that the F1 will overun. If say, the actual race finishes about 20:10 and obviously a bit of time after that has to be dedicated to post-race filler stuff and seeing the presentation ceremony, I wonder what the BBC will do regarding their schedule - will they just drop Antiques Roadshow (currently scheduled for 20:15) and have F1 running all the way till 9pm with a lot of post-race filler during the 8pm hour or will they keep Antiques Roadshow in the schedule but starting 15-20 mins later than billed which will also have a knock-on effect on what time Case Histories begins?

I see Channel 4 are looking to take advantage of no Antiques Roadshow on Sundays from next week by airing repeats of Four Rooms. Can't see that working!

F1 stopped due to torrential rain, there are 45 laps remaining, so AR will be running late - they could have edited versions available - ie cut 10-15 minutes easily, or even put a 30 minute replacement programme in its place. - so Case Histories does not start late.
They may cut the post race waffle with Jake, David and Eddie to keep disruption to a minimum. |

They could show a short 10-15 minute episode of Coast. That would be clever with a new episode starting at 9pm on BBC Two.

Yesterday the Tennis finished about 40 minutes before the show was scheduled to end so instead of stopping early for a Bargain Hunt or something they showed some profile of Boris Becker and then had a bit more waffle. |

Backtracking on what I said earlier, I can see The Royal doing really well now by its own standards, as it should attract a decent chunk of the anti-sport audience (some Countryfile viewers basically) and even some of the casual F1 viewers might tune over whilst the race is temporarily stopped and currently shows little signs of restarting soon.

They can show a short filler - they have 15 minute versions of Nigel Slater's Simple Suppers for example.

They still have 1 hour 40 minutes left of the race to run. If it can restart we could be here for a while yet (depending whether they can finish 45 laps before the 2 hour mark or not).

F1 I think will stay on BBC1 until 9pm. If say there's only 15 laps left, then they'll delay Case Histories until 9:30pm if necessary.
If however there's a lot longer left then switch until BBC2. Edit: Fudd, there's 70 minutes, not 100 minutes left. |

Could be a long wait. Any chance of them showing something else and coming back to F1 later I wonder?

Someone on the F1 Broadcast thread has said the coverage will switch to BBC2 at 8.15 if there's been no racing by then. I haven't seen any confirmation as of yet, though - they may have just been making as assumption.

Yeah, Survivor wasn't helped by the scheduling, initially it was actual episodes Monday and Thursday at 9pm and the eviction interviews on Tuesday and Friday at 8.30pm, but nobody cared about the eviction interviews, especially in the early shows where we barely knew the contestants. Indeed the first one saw half an hour of telly lavished on someone who'd appeared on screen for less than an hour.* Eventually they cut it down to just the main show on Monday and the eviction interview on Tuesday, now at 10.30, and rebranded as Survivor Unseen - which is rubbish, it's all bloody unseen until they show it!
As you say, the second series was all on one night, and the eviction interviews were done at the same time as their eviction (in the first series they were studio based and recorded months later). Ridiculously, the ITV2 spin-off was also on the same night, both 10.45 -11.05 during the news, then 11.35-1.05 after it, so you had nearly three and a half hours of it all in one lump. Who was going to watch that? But it flopped mostly because it was very dull, really, I don't think anyone bought into a show filmed months ago miles away, especially one which they had no say over. It's like people didn't like the idea of Fame Academy as they had little say over what happened. It's remarkable to think how successful the original Popstars was when there were no opportunities to join in at all, that would be unthinkable now. Ironically in the wake of The Apprentice Survivor might actually fair better now than it did then as viewers are used recorded formats, and 71 Degrees North didn't do too bad. It is one thing which worries me about The Voice - NBC had four studio shows with no public vote. I can't see even the BBC being brave enough to do that. Quote:
So last night's without substitutional opposition was quite poor?
Wonder why C4 don't do repeats during the week to build up the audience? Perhaps they can't afford multiple showings? |

I dont see the point of the coverage of a race not happening wrecking BBC 1s primetime scheulde.
As long as it doesnt get in the way of Family Guy I wont mind however. |

Think The Royal maybe will find itself near to 6m tonight.

Oops, I misheard 1 hour 14 for 1 hour 40.

I haven't seen any confirmation as of yet, though - they may have just been making as assumption.![]() Of course they won't do that. Antiques Roadshow has been deliberately scheduled to give them some leeway in the event of a race delay. BBC not haven't much luck with the weather today what with the tennis as well. Sunday primetime on BBC1 - watching people getting wet. Still more exciting than an episode of The Royal though.
