Totally stunned by those numbers. Obviously it was always going to be down, but I felt sure it would at least clear 3m.
Significantly it means MasterChef is now officially less popular than AGT, as that recorded a higher figure (2.86m) for its finale on Tuesday. An amazing turnaround in the space of a year and demonstrates why the Aus market is so interesting. Quote:
![]() ![]() at that 7pm rating for ITV1! Yes, it was a repeat, but am I right in saying apart from the Friday 9pm 'comedy hour' that's ITV1's lowest ever primetime rating?! They can't risk that being sub 1m next week!Another awful performance from Born To Shine-very humiliating to be beaten by a film repeat on Ch5 and it does seem that ITV's best bet for next Summer is to air wall to wall film repeats at weekends. This Summer has turned out to be horrendous, after a promising start with some of the Monday factual, Scott & Bailey, The Royal & the first episode of L&O. TXF could have had audition shows in April/May and live shows from June to August and though the summer might hit them, they'd still be good for a guaranteed 10m IMO on around 30 nights over the summer, especially if it meant keeping Simon Cowell on board. Britain's Got Talent would then air auditions from September and either have a week of live shows in the October half-term or have them a weekend in November/early December. Personally I'd stick with the live shows across a single week and trial something new in Nov/Dec when they've got I'm a Celebrity to prop up the schedule, although if BGT did continue with live shows at weekends that would see ITV through to December quite easily. |

![]() ![]() 1.24m at 7pm then 1.94m at 8pm for ITV1. What an absolute disaster in every respect. L&O: UK's 3.83m looks quite respectable in comparison. Looks like Sunday is becoming the new Tuesday for ITV. The problem is once DoI has finished there's nothing until TXF really. I know BGT get a few Sunday eps but something drastic needs to happen to fix this. The return of TXF can't come soon enough. It is very likely to be down on last year, but surely we can expect at least 10m for the launch, if not more. |

I don't think ITV is in such a drastic mess as people make out as the returning hits are only a few weeks away and ratings for ITV1 will go back up to 20 pc.

I think that's a very optimistic estimate. It wasn't until November before ITV1 started hitting 20%+ shares last year.

So it wasn't so much making it look like the 17th to fool Channel 4 and more like switching it to the 18th at the very last moment.

Big ratings for News channels tonight, over 2m for BBC News maybe? Highest ever ratings? Everyone seems to be talking about it.

However, one type of show they must miss, which always guaranteed at least 10 million( read 5 million in today's market), in summer is the lavishly made American mini series that they could spin out over several nights. I can remember large audiences eagerly awaiting their next fix of North and South and Rich Man Poor Man.

I don't know if it will top 2m but I agree the ratings should be very high for the news channels tonight - BBC News in particular, everyone is talking about it.

Show me the Funny will be dented by at least 1 viewer as I've been following it but can't take my eyes off BBC News Channel.

Think figures will be dented heavily all around tonight on the terrestrial channel tonight. |

Coverage was limited last night simply because it was a Sunday. There was still rioting going on, albeit on a smaller scale than what we've seen tonight.
Clearly the news figures are going to go through the roof. With a New Tricks lead-in I'd imagine a 7m+ overnight for BBC News at Ten is not out of the question. |

The riots seems to be the main talk on social networks, people i know who barely know the PM's name have been discussing watching the news. I'll expect big figures tomorrow.

I was surprised Andy that the News Channel chose to simulcast NaT. Is that normal during a big breaking news story? Not a criticism, just something that struck me as odd.
Like many others I suspect I've been channel hopping all evening, catching short bursts of coverage from here there and everywhere. Sky News at Ten carried a touching interview with the owners of the furniture store which was totally devastated by fire in Croydon. |
