Good decision by MTV to leave the Music pack on Sky (not available to all) and go to Entertainment (which 99% of Sky viewers get) and consequently move right up the EPG.

Good retention for Luther with 93% of the premiere audience sticking with it, bodes well for the rest of the series. If figures remain relatively stable, I can see them bringing it back for more than 4 episodes next year. Good start for Three Men Go To... which was almost level with ITV1 in the slot and the better lead-in seemed to help Lead Balloon which was up compared to last week. Countrywise was more than half a million up from recent weeks, I can only guess that Springwatch was denting its figures recently. Still surprised it managed over 3m though as I don't think it'd passed that mark previously in that slot. Baby Hospital seemed to benefit from the better lead-in as it was up a couple hundred thousand.

Interesting how Four Rooms has grown its audience a lot since it began. The first episode had 950k a few weeks ago, so last night's audience was 500k and over 50% higher than the opener. What looked like a flop initially might turn out to be a relatively solid performer for C4. 9-11pm programmes still struggling for them though, poor for Jamie Oliver's show especially, once again. Solid enough start for Submarine School which did quite a bit better than what Supersize Grime had done in that slot in recent weeks, CSI repeat at 9pm also back over 1m after last week's sub-1m figure. Impressive rating for Mission Impossible 3 on Film4 and Geordie Shore rebounded a lot after last week's rating took a dip, series 2 a certainly now I would think.

Had a quick look at MTV's ratings year on year. Last year in brackets.

Share, 0.2% 4 minutes (0.1% 1 minute).

Weekly reach, 3.277m 5.7% (1,271m 2.2%).

Pretty spectacular.

Doesn't look like the lack of Glee lead in for Made in Chelsea on Monday night has affected it at all, seems to be steadily gaining more viewers so I guess it will be given a second series.

Some interesting ratings there. Surprised that Countrywise being above 3m did not bring Baby Hospital above 3m. Will be interested to see if Countrywise is up again next week.

Luther did very well again, with a great retention. Series 3 looks definite with 6m+ in the officials presumably. Shows what happens when TV stations keep faith in a programme and recommission a 2nd series, their faith is rewarded.

BBC2 have released their autumn season of programmes: http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pre...2/bbctwo.shtml

All very BBC4, very little there that would appeal to the mainstream. Niche is the word.

the "Modern Britain" stuff seems to have found a theme, some of it sounds goodl.

Oh goody, a new Stephen Fry series. Haven't seen much of him of late.

Indeed. I suppose the long-running promotional campaign must have worked well for it. Last year, it started off at a similar level (around 5.5m), but had fallen all the way to 3.5m overnights by the end of the run. You don't often see a drama get those viewers back, but so far, so good for this second run. Running against the ITV flopzone must be helping too.

Personally, I rather like it - but there's obviously not much new there thats going to help them in ratings terms. The drama looks very high quality with some great writers and casts, but I suspect much of it may end up going the same way as The Shadow Line.

Geordie Shore has went from its lowest rating of the series to its highest rating in one week. I wonder what affected it last week? There wasn't anything special on last Tuesday. Anyway, great ratings for MTV and that second series is in the bag.

Angry Boys on BBC3 has started to climb.

I think Geordie shore being an item on This Morning yesterday on ITV and talking about the controversy might have helped the ratings somewhat...

MTV have played this series very cleverly. Congratulations to them

Yes, but they commissioned 22 episodes straight off the bat, so not surprising it was a long runner. It's an impresive commitment, I suppose. The Strangerers also flopped around that time as well, and their entertainment didn't have a very good hit rate either, like Beat The Crusher. Plus they hired Barry Norman around that time, saying he wouldn't be on at midnight like on BBC1 anymore. Twelve months in, he was on at midnight on Sky One.


What's the difference? As far as I can see BBC3 have an identical model with umpteen repeats throughout the week. In addition iPlayer is available in Virgin Media homes so that's, what, three million potential viewers? What is Sky 1 plus Anytime offering that BBC3 plus iPlayer on Virgin isn't?


Why not? Sky 1 promote them all a hell of a lot and it's clear they're all major programmes for them. I see Sky 1 have already started promoting Glee, another series they missed first time around.

It used to be that Sky 1 used to find all the big US hits like Star Trek The Next Generation and The X Files, but I can't think of a single import in recent years they've broken and managed to make a success of. Maybe Modern Family, but I barely hear about that out of Sky 1, it certainly hasn't caught on among the wider populace like Family Guy or maybe even The Big Bang Theory. Even when they had The West Wing, probably the most acclaimed series of the past decade, they got rid of it after one series.

Off-topic, but big coup for ITV News:

Breaking - Laura Kuenssberg leaving BBC to become Business Editor for ITV News
1 minute ago

That was 20 years ago when they were in an entirely different place to now.

They have a programme type that works on their three main entertainment channels and have had what counts as hits on all these.

For instance, Bones, which is a long running hit US series that only Sky show (which they could afford to lose ratings for by moving from Sky 1 to Living).

Sky 1 hits (if you factor PVR figures as Sky of all channels should do) include the likes of Fringe.

Sky Atlantic, of course, is going to continue to be showing a lot of the more high end dramas whether they are a hit or a miss via their deal for that content.

Yes, they have bought a few programmes that have been a success on terrestrial - but usually when the terrestrial channel had not taken the gamble of paying for all rights (like Sky do as soon as they sniff a hit) and when a show is a hit in the US and the originators can see they can make more money Sky are usually willing to outbid what the terrestrial will pay. So it is usually the terrestrial not valuing the hit show as much as Sky do. This strategy works well for Sky and (unlike say Channel 4) shifts some viewers of that show to become Sky subscribers. As Channel 4 do not need to do that you can hardly criticise Sky for doing what works to survive and expand.

This is often promoted as Sky pinching shows but I think it is really Sky playing the game cleverly as they have done so often over the past two decades. Hence the success they have achieved.

It is interesting that whilst their UK original content is being criticised they are the only main channel not focusing hefty chunks of their programming resources on soaps and reality/competition style shows and tend to spend it on big budget mini series. And now they are expanding their UK output into other areas.

Just speaking for myself but personally while I like Family Guy it's been around for years now, whereas Modern Family seems to have a buzz about it, and I hear loads of people talking about it.
Sky 1 put all the good stuff now on Sky Atlantic, The two biggest shows in ages are Games of Thrones and Boardwalk Empire, really big buzz about those, but they are on Atlantic.

It is definitely Gibbs. :

Though I am lost in the thought of NCIS screening Gibbs' navel given your typo above!

Now if that were indeed to be what the show was usually about then viewing figures amongst us ladies of a certain age would set this thread ablaze.

TBH im surprised yesterdays Smallville didnt see better ratings, for a similar reason. Anyone who saw Smallville last night knows what im talking about.

Looking up the spelling mistake, is should have been "naval" but im glad it bought some joy to you.

I don't know about Baby Hospital. More like "Luther Hospital" after the great work it is doing resussitating a series that looked doomed in the ratings after last year's decline.



Hope Wimbledon doesn't screw it up next Tuesday (conversely if there's a Murray match next Tuesday night, it might boost it further)


Very good.

No need for BBC4 then - scrap it and save the F1!

Take note, Chris Patten....


Is she mad, following in the footsteps of Morecambe & Wise, Chiles & Bleakley, Corden and Phil Cool*?

Brave move. Thought she had a real future at the BBC, and a shoo-in for Nick Robinson's job when he moves on.

* for younger readers, Phil Cool was a brilliant 1980s northern comedian and impressionist, probably the funniest man on British television, with a hit weekly BBC2 show airing to 6m viewers. He was poached by ITV, did one mega-flop sketch series, and was never seen of again...
