I think Sundays as well. There is a market for this pre-X Factor going there in September.
I reckon: 7pm: Cricket on 5: Fourth Test 8pm: The Beat Goes On 9pm: Celebrity Big Brother 10pm: Movie Probably way out, but that's my guess. Then on Monday: 7pm: Cricket on 5: Fourth Test 8pm: Ultimate Police Interceptors 9pm: Extraordinary People 10pm: Celebrity Big Brother 11pm: Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side Again, just a guess. |

That sounds plausible as I imagine BOTS wont air on the weekend thus allowing them to be a bit more flexible on Sundays. Cant see TBGO doing well given C5's track record with shiny floor entertainment shows.

good decision to put it on a thursday with all the dramas airing it should benefit
plus WDYTYA would be tough competition, i imagine they'll start the series with the top celebs i think JK Rowling's airs on the 17th, read about it in the paper the other day she said she thinks she broke the record for crying, it looks like a very good episode so that would have faced CBB! |

Smooth. The important factors are the BBC One/ITV1/Channel 4 opposition, which is (frankly) not up to much on that night. |

Night 2 of Ultimate Big Brother brought in 3.07m (17.4%) at 10pm on A Level results night last year, down only 150k on the launch the night before, so let's not overstate the effect that could have please.

Edit: I've got the wrong date due to the DS' incorrect labelling on the archive ratings pages. The correct rating for Big Brother on exam results day 2010 was 2.62m (15.5%) for a standard edition of the programme. This was actually up 500k on the previous week.

I was going by this DS article here:

Ah right. The UBB launch was on a Tuesday and was part of the BB11 finale show, the show as a whole averaged 4m (17.7%). UBB had 3.22m (18%) for its first highlights show, and then that 3.07m for highlights show two.

Smooth. 3.7m watched the last ever episode on Channel 4 on a Friday night at the start of Freshers Week between 10.30pm and 11.30pm (if we're using the 'people will be out' excuse). If the advertising campaign is good enough and there is an adequate amount of publicity there is no reason for them to not be able to at least equal that figure in an uncompetitive Thursday night slot at 9pm. Younger viewers are the ones most likely to use catch up and the ones most likely to know who is in the house due to social media. They are viewers who are hard to attract to a brand but are quite easy to retain and bring back. Missing the launch isn't a big deal. |

Radio Times for next week is also written in such a way as you can tell this was originally true because it is all about the JK Rowling episode and then says - 'who's next?' and lists the remaining 9. This would surely have only been done that way in the belef JKR was up first. But they probably could not change the article in time. The schedule for the first 4 episodes (e mailed to me today) is now June Brown (next week) then J K Rowling, then Sebastian Coe, then Larry Lamb. |

rzt, you were spot on mate. Channel 4 have moved Twilight's premiere from Sunday night to Wednesday night in the final schedules in anticipation of Celebrity Big Brother launching there. This was their big spoiler that they'd been plotting. Slight problem with that now since Channel 5 have moved CBB's launch to Thursday. ![]() Quote:
FILM: Twilight
On: Channel 4 (4) Date: Wednesday 17th August 2011 (starting in 14 days) Time: 20:00 to 22:20 (2 hours and 20 minutes long) Kristen Stewart stars in Catherine Hardwicke's winning adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's best-selling series of romantic fantasy novels about a teenage girl who falls in love with a vampire. When her mother remarries, Bella Swan relocates to the state of Washington to live with her father Charlie. There, in the small, perpetually wintry town of Forks, she starts her new life, though she has no inkling of quite how different it's going to be. At her new school she quickly establishes herself as both a bit of a klutz and a hunk magnet. However, she's not interested in most of the guys - apart from the moodily handsome, ashen complexioned Edward Cullen. (Premiere, Widescreen, Subtitles, Audio Described, 2008, 12, 3 Star) Director: Catherine Hardwicke Starring: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Billy Burke, Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed, Jackson Rathbone ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Marked By: 'Premiere Films' and 'Film Dramas' markers ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Excerpt taken from DigiGuide - the world's best TV guide available from http://www.getdigiguide.tv/?p=1&r=87587 Copyright (c) GipsyMedia Limited. |

Indeed. I bet Channel 5 are laughing their socks off. Twilight won't do that well midweek, and they will thrash them the following night. Major fail by Channel 4.

Might I be safe in saying Show Me The Funny, The Marriage Ref and Born To Shine will never return and be buried in a landfill when their run finishes?

Can I just throw something into the mix as a question to those saying Show Me The Funny should be pulled immediately...
What programme would you replace it with that would rate better, a) up against a drama getting an unseasonal 8m and b) not being advertised in TV listings? Quote:
Never in a million years will it go out on Xmas Day. My money would be on Boxing Day.

Also I see that regular episodes of Downton Abbey have been extended to 75 minutes this year. ITV getting the absolute maximum amount of adverts in it then, although I can't say I blame them with such a big hit drama.
Quote:
According to a report today ITV are strongly considering delaying The X Factor USA to 2012 to avoid it overshadowing the UK version. I did think this was a possibility.
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/ustv/s14...d-by-itv2.html I do wish though they'd catch up on America's Got Talent. They could easily do two series over a summer then air the next series weekly, fast tracked from the US. Quote:
I doubt that to be honest. Isn't Davina on her hols at the minute? And not sure how she'd feel about going against the show that made her a household name!

LOL - C5 running scared then. The question is whether the CBB launch can beat Cowboy Builders.
![]() Channel 5 have been savvy in throwing this 17th August date about, also making it look like the 19th in the provisionals and then changing it at the last minute when certain things became clear. Channel 4 have been made to look like amateurs. I'm surprised they didn't still have contacts at Endemol close to the show who would have been able to tip them off about the actual start date... |

Seriously for a second, Twilight should bring good numbers to Channel 4, probably 3m to 3.5m I think.

I don't want to sound uninformed, but has Channel 5 dropped the through the night coverage of CBB/BB? Surely keeping the show to 90 minutes a day, which seems more sensible, is better considering the show has a marathon five months run this time.
