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.
So no, you won't be able to tune in during the middle of the night to see housemates sleeping this time around. ![]() I wouldn't rule out an online 24 hour feed yet, perhaps also as a separate service on Sky/Virgin - Channel 5 are promising an announcement with regard to this soon - but based on the schedules for the first 2 days it doesn't look like there will be live streaming on either Channel 5 or 5*. |

A great night for BBC1 but not so for ITV1...though, before Show Me the Funny, how long has it been since Tuesday 9pm beat Monday 9pm on the channel?
Big Brother's launch is as well scheduled as it could have been. Torchwood may cause a little bit of opposition in the 16-34s. Town and Single Handed shouldn't cause too many problems. |

I'm surprised they haven't extended The X Factor Results by 15 minutes to be honest...though I guess it is early days!

Bored with CBB now.:yawn: (though I begrudgingly admire their clever scheduling trick, the cunning b***ards )Quote:
A shame but you're probably right, though Downton Abbey is one show where ITV could break the BBC's monopoly on Christmas Day.
Doc Martin (2006) Inspector Morse (1987) Hilda Ogden's last ever episode of Coronation Street (1987 - a very successful rating-winer this.) Duty Free (1986) and, most notably, Morecambe & Wise (1978-1980) when they were sensationally poached from the BBC. Remains to be seen if they're brave enough to go with Downton Abbey this year. |

Hehe, come on now, I think we both know the answer to that.
![]() 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... Also notice Holiday Hijack isn't in the Sunday schedules - C4 surely not pulling it. It's sub 1m, but a lot of stuff has been lately. Quote:
Is an old BBC1 show the best they can come up with for the 11.30pm slot?

They can't show it through the night on Channel 5 or 5* as the former is locked into a contract with Supercasino and the latter closes at midnight. (think it timeshares with a teleshopping/adult service, not sure which)

It's a different show - it's been on 5* and is stand up recorded at a Montreal comedy festival. Keep this up and they'll soon be calling themselve Channel 4+1 |

Actually makes more sense as the money saved on filming sleeping housemates could go into the peak time show. I think Channel 5 are clever enough to realise the overkill and fanzine shows on Channel 4 were putting viewers off.

Lol, yeah C4 have been outwitted. I bet C5 even asked Daily Star and Applause Store to deliberately put down 17th August as the launch date to put C4 off the scent, knowing all along it would be 18th August. Good scheduling move.

It will be over by mid-November, the main series is only 8 or 9 weeks long making it the shortest since 2003. If it turns out to be 8 weeks it will be the shortest ever. It depends whether Celebrity Big Brother is 3 or 4 weeks long but the total run time is 12 weeks.
It's shaping up to not be the "wall-to-wall Big Brother from August through to January" that some were forecasting. A refreshingly restrained approach is most welcome. Anyway, sorry if I've waffled on too much about this today. I can't help myself sometimes.

The launch of BIG BROTHER will surely be a monumental day in Channel 5 history.

Rangers are out of the Champions League, which I believe'll mean ITV will have to air an all foreign tie later this month?

UEFA Champions League 3rd qualifying round result : Malmo 1-1 Rangers (Malmo win 2-1 on aggregate).
Which I think means (and someone correct me if I'm wrong) that Arsenal are the only surviving British team in the 4th and final qualifying round. |

Big Brother is the live feed - without it it's not Big Brother, though it doesn't necessarily need a window on C5, though personally I'd have gone for an hour or two of live streaming from 11pm over a fanzine show. Bit on the Side seems somewhat unnecessary, especially when disjointed from the main show - and they became more of a burden than an asset in the last few years on C4.

Somewhat strange scheduling topic about to appear - but I wonder if ITV will promote The Sooty Show on (presumably) Saturday mornings from September? Would be nice to see a kids show get some promotion and do a decent figure of say 500k to 700k which would be good for a kids programme in 2011.
Based on PR today, they should promote it a bit, in my view. EDIT: It's actually airing on CITV from September and on ITV1 from 2012 - so the above is somewhat moot. |

A shame - an awkward length, especially for international sales. OFCOM made a huge mistake IMO when they changed the rules to allow 4 ad breaks within programmes 1hr 10 mins long instead of 1 hr 30m. I'd have gone for 1hr 20m as that's less tempting for stations to extend hour-long shows, or simply let them have the four in an hour long slot and be done with it to avoid 70/75 min shows.

Natasha Kaplinsky, the former BBC and Channel 5 newsreader, is to take an interim role at ITV presenting London Tonight and national network news programmes.
Kaplinsky, who became the highest-paid newsreader in Britain when she signed a deal in 2007 to defect from the BBC to Channel 5 on a reported deal of £1m a year, left the Richard Desmond-owned broadcaster at the end of last year. ITV has hired Kaplinsky to cover the maternity leave of newsreader Nina Hossain and will pick up her pattern of shifts anchoring ITV London Tonight from mid-September. She will also present some ITV network news programmes on an ad hoc basis through to spring next year when Hossain is expected to return to work. http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011...-itv-news-role |

A shame to see The Hour fall again on BBC2 last night. I had quite high hopes for that and I'm really quite enjoying it. One of the few BBC2 dramas that would seem to have returnable potential as well, but I don't like its chances at 1.8m.
I don't know what it is, but holding on to viewers for more than a couple of episodes does seem to be a real problem for BBC Two or Channel 4 dramas, regardless of how well they might be received. It's no wonder both channels - though they find some success with one-offs or two-parters - struggle to establish any returning ones. |

The announcer at the end of Sherlock said "Sherlock will be back next year".

Apparently Live Who Wants To Be A Millionaire is back on 20th and 21st August. I'm guessing the 20th August episode will have a XF lead-in. Quote:
