Obviously a big news day, but a good rating for summer for the 5pm news
Not in most of Scotland though where it was being shown for the first time ![]() Talking of which STV will be opting out of whatever is scheduled on Sundays at 9pm by ITV from August 7th to show Series 1 of Downton Abbey, followed by showing the second series from September 18th, I presume the same date it starts on ITV1 http://entertainment.stv.tv/tv/26312...tumn-schedule/ Quote:
would that mean the show would get a R2 DVD release in Ireland?
Moving on, had a look at BBC Press what do we think, is this the last episode before the summer break? |

Yes 6th August is the last episode of the current series of Casualty. It will return on either the 3rd or 10th of September.

What kind of numbers are they expecting Dancc do you think? What would be good and/or acceptable? How many weeks away? They should really show it while there's so little competition, and try and secure an audience.
![]() ![]() I have no idea what numbers they are expecting to be honest, but it only has to clear 3.2m to be their top rating show of 2011. It should easily manage that. And I agree, with so little competition, it should be practically guaranteed a high audience for the first night at least. Of course, everyone's interpretation of "high" is different - there will be some natural dropoff from it moving channels, even though the leap is the smallest possible. I think though just like any other CBB launch the public will be very curious to see who's going in... Sorry, you won't get any more detailed predictions off of me just yet. I'm sitting very much on the fence until we get nearer and learn more about the scheduling. But I'm encouraged by what I'm hearing so far, and also what I'm seeing from the other commercial channels, i.e. neither ITV1 or Channel 4 in particularly good shape just now.

The 5pm News always does decently and IMO they should drop the 7pm news and maybe have the updates from 6pm onwards.

That's a good point, maybe they could somehow hit their news quota in primetime just through the updates so they wouldn't have to have the 7pm bulletin.

24 hours in A&E managed a series high last night on Channel 4. Its full slot rating to 1dp was 2.7m. For the first time it makes an entry into Channel 4's most watched programs of the year so far:
Channel 4 top programs of 2011 so far: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ C4 -------------- C4 +1 ----------- C4 Official 01: Big Fat Gypsy Weddings 08/02/11 ----------------------------- 7.5m (29.2%) -------- 711k --------------- 8.80m 02: My Big Fat Royal Gypsy Wedding 28/04/11 --------------- 4.0m (16.5%) -------- 650k --------------- 4.56m 03: Embarrassing Bodies 04/02/11 ---------------------------------- 3.6m (14.9%) -------- 587k --------------- 4.17m 04: FILM premiere: Taken 05/03/11 -------------------------------- 3.2m (14.3%) -------- 505k --------------- 3.72m 05: Shameless 10/01/11 -------------------------------------------------- 3.1m (15.8%) -------- 355k --------------- 4.05m 06: FILM: premiere: The Day The Earth Stood Still 19/6 - 3.0m (12.3%) -------- 633k --------------- 3.47m 07: FILM: premiere: Iron Man 2/01/11 ----------------------------- 3.0m (12.1%) -------- 561k --------------- 3.39m 08: Embarrassing Fat Bodies 6/06/11 ------------------------------ 3.0m (11.9%) -------- 504k --------------- 3.29m 09: The Real King's Speech 23/02/11 ------------------------------ 2.8m (11.3%) -------- 265k --------------- 3.31m 10: One Born Every Minute 14/02/11 ------------------------------- 2.8m (11.1%) -------- 374k --------------- 3.44m 11: Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2010 3/01/11 ------------------------ 2.7m (12.9%) -------- 400k --------------- 3.34m 12: 24 Hours In A&E 20/07/11 ------------------------------------------- 2.7m (12.1%) -------- 297k ----------------------- 13: Mary Portas: Secret Shopper 19/01/11 ---------------------- 2.7m (11.1%) -------- 349k ---------------- 3.36m 14: FILM premiere: Marley and Me 10/7/11 --------------------- 2.7m (~11%) -------- 505k ---------------- 3.18m 15: Million Pound Drop 04/02/11 ------------------------------------- 2.6m (14.2%) ------ ~180k ---------------- 2.79m 16: Britain's Fattest Man 5/01/11 -------------------------------------- 2.6m (11.3%) -------- 334k --------------- 3.01m 17: Undercover Boss 5/7/11 --------------------------------------------- 2.6m (11.2%) -------- 358k --------------- 3.01m Last year's chart for comparison (there were no new entries after that post). C4 and C4 +1 are overnight ratings, C4 official are from the Barb website. All overnight ratings are averages for the full slot running time, rounded to 1 decimal place. Shows are ranked in order of overnight ratings. Each show only gets one mention in the list. Come Dine With Me would chart in 2011 ~ 2.6m but don't have exact rating |

The above also means the final of Red or Black will be on Sunday 11th September. That'll be an interesting few weeks for both BBC1's and ITV1's schedules, do BBC1 get a head start of one week and potentially 'crush' Red or Black from the get go and hope it is not a hit or launch their shows the week after? Difficult choice considering ITV will be stripping Coronation Street that week. Tough call. Also, on the basis of Celebrity Big Brother launching on 17th or 18th August - if it is 3 weeks long (which going on the length of the Channel 4 series' it will be), then the final and the debut of Big Brother 12 will both be sometime during Red or Black week. From a ratings perspective, the first week in September looks interesting to say the least for BBC1, ITV1 and Channel 5... |

Does anyone have the rating for the Season 3 premiere of Sons of Anarchy on 5USA last night? (10pm)
Going by the fact that 5USA's share rose from 1% last week to 1.2% last night, I'm guessing it went quite well. |

Looking at tonight and I think Channel 5 could be a big winner. Torchwood may be able to keep 4 million but ITV will be down in the low 3 millions. If Cowboy Builders can maintain last week's rating or rise again tonight then I reckon that would provide a solid basis for Big Brother to launch on a Thursday night.

First broadcast on 16 October 1972. It was originally conceived and broadcast as a daytime programme in an afternoon slot, becoming an early evening programme in 1978 in most ITV regions, but excluding London and Anglia, both of which followed in the mid-1980s. Until Christmas 1988, Emmerdale took seasonal breaks; since then it has been broadcast year-round.
The 6000th episode is happening in August!! Thames didn't want it in primetime it seems, not sure why Anglia didn't show it - so much countryside there. |

Difficult choice considering ITV will be stripping Coronation Street that week. Tough call. Although, just thinking, Sherlock is a bit of a problem. It has to go out on Sundays because of the 90 minute run-time - but there's no way it should be running opposite Downton Abbey or whatever follows because the XF lead-in wreaks havoc. There is a 10-part Who Do You Think You Are? series sitting on the shelf, which could prove useful. It's the sort of series they could air against an ITV drama and be reasonably confident of 5m or so. |

It can go out on Wednesdays:
19:00 - The One Show 19:30 - Waterloo Road 20:30 - Sherlock Problem solved. Re. Big Brother - the problem won't be the launch, but rather the opposition it'll be up against in the autumn. It's never had this problem before but with Downton Abbey, Sherlock, Doc Martin, The X Factor, potentially Strictly Come Dancing results if they move them back to Saturday night...it's going to find it tough. Then again, it should still attract reasonable ratings for Channel Five. A bellyful of repeats on last night meant respectable ratings all around, except Channel 4 which had a very good night. |

If Downton Abbey is starting on the 18th September, it should be wrapped up by mid-November at the latest (not sure how many episodes there are). Then Sherlock could air anytime from mid-November onwards and not clash with DA. I think the X Factor lead-in wont be too problematic, if ITV dont out anything too exciting after DA finishes, viewers will just switch over.

Isn't Sherlock planned/rumoured for News Year Day or was that just fan speculation?

They'll be looking to finish both Doc Martin and Downton Abbey before I'm A Celebrity... starts.

Very difficult call for BBC One. I think the Corrie strip makes it very difficult for them to be ultra-competetive. You don't want to go premiering important new series (something like 'The Body Farm') opposite that. There's be plenty of hollers of "BSI" on here, and rightly so. My instinct is that they'll steer clear of new series that week and pick their fights carefully the next week.
edit: and Thursday the 8th will be the penultimate episode of Torchwood. |

Is Red or Black expceted to do well? I am unconvinced by it, but then it would be odd if I didnt think that.

EDIT: Actually, it might not be too bad as Coronation Street will take the first half hour against New Tricks. EastEnders is the only major threat towards Red or Black's main show. |
