The X Factor seems to re-generate better than Doctor Who
![]() The only people worried by those ratings are Cheryl Cole's agent and maybe Glenn who was forecasting a post-Cowell apocalypse for ITV And Will Young squashing Celebrity BB - who would have thought? |

Big Brother looks to be in trouble, if it's rating below 2m now, what will it be like when it is the normal series rather than the celebrity version?
Embarrasing for Epic Win, being beaten by the ITV National & Regional News! John Bishop seems quite low as well, maybe airing in practically the same slot twice a week is damaging the initial rating. |

Looking at the rest of BBC1s ratings for a saturday Dr Who is doing amazingly well.
It's not as if there is anything to watch before/after so many people are just dropping in to watch "Who" and then going elsewhere. It's like sandwiching a nice piece of chicken between stale bread. |

Not quite an apocalypse, more like a decline of about a million. However, the TXF seems to have hit a plateau- not going up, not going down- but 10.6 million is still excellent in such a competitive market where a show is classed as a hit if it has 5 million viewers.

I think the sitcom pilot season is good, it sort of worked for Channel 4 so it'll be interesting whether it works for BBC One.
Notice too this year Comedy Lab is airing on E4, immediately after Comedy Showcase on C4. Quote:
Very poor night for channel 4 :yawn:
Five not good to. Quote:

The mens' 100 metre final (Usain Bolt jogged through, Dwain Chambers disqualified for a false start) at the Athletics World Championships is on Channel 4 at 12.45pm.
Mo Farah goes for gold at 11.30am in the men's 10,000 metre final. |

Decent figure for Doctor Who, I suppose we can't put too much importance on the overnights for it, given how it usually timeshifts. I was hoping for a bit closer to 7m though considering the promotion it's had and better timeslot than usual but all in all, it did fine and boosted BBC1's Saturday. Secret Fortune was up almost +10% compared to last week, while Casualty and John Bishop remained consistent. Epic Win isn't doing well though, considering it had a lead-in of almost 20%, it should've rated higher than 12%. As Danny Cohen said yesterday, that teatime slot has been a difficult one for them to fill recently, with pretty much only Total Wipeout doing a decent job. ASFF on ITV1 is doing well this series, this time last year it was rating in the mid 4's. I'm not quite sure why that 1m rise vs last year has come about. TXF held up really well, down about -4 to -6% compared to last week's figures which is one of the better retentions in recent years (last year it dropped over -10%). Low rating for Will Young's show - music specials post-TXF have usually managed at least 4m+ in the past.
Disappointing rating for Celebrity Big Brother. Before the series began, I did think Saturday episodes would dip slightly below 2m, but considering how last Saturday's episode rated as well as how it's been holding up the rest of the week, I was expecting another 2m+ figure. Last week, the Sunday episode rated worse than Saturday's so I'm not even sure if it'll bounce back too much tonight. Law & Order SVU also posted a low figure, the smallest audience of its run. Both of them will probably rate even lower next week as they're at later times. Maybe it would be a wise idea not to have Saturday episodes during the normal BB because if it's dipping to 1.8m now, I can see it down to ~1.2m when the normal run begins, especially when episodes are airing even later after 10pm when TXF goes to live episodes. |

As lazy as it is I do think the BBC should just stick something like My Family repeats in that 5.30pm slot. After all for most of the 90s in the House Party/Generation Game era it was usually Dads Army repeats at 5.30pm - and occassionally "Stay Tooned" IIRC.
ITV have pretty much given up now commissioning new shows pre-7pm on Saturday nights apart from You've Been Framed so there isn't much reason for the BBC to commission for the 5.30pm slot IMO. |

Maybe they should just run Final Score on BBC1 up to the news at 5.40ish.

Why do the BSI insist on bringing Doctor Who back on key holiday weekends, when millions of viewers arent here...?
In spite of the BBC's best efforts, an official 7m+ rating won't be so bad, but it could have done better returning a week later, even if it would have been up against the "Britain's Got You Bet" launch. |
