Laughable peak-time performance from ITV (unless you're a shareholder).
Meanwhile, its new daytime hope "Let's Do Lunch" dropped to 700,000 - after launching with 1.1m on Monday. |

Undercover Boss beat ITV then at 9PM ouch.
ITV really are in series trouble and need to do something? Maybe if they aimed a little higher up the evolutionary scale we'd have better programmes to watch. |

You could say that ITV has played a role in dumbing down the lower end of society, feeding them a diet of unhealthy fast food crap TV, with the promise of instant celebrity, such that their brains have turned to mush and they are now out on the streets looting and pillaging and getting themselves on the news. The likes of TOWIE, Kyle and Cowell have something to answer for I feel... |

I also blame Shameless. Once a brilliant drama about a council estate underclass, it soon turned into compulsive aspirational drama for the dregs of society.
The scum on the streets of my city last night have treated Shameless as an instruction manual. Thanks C4... |

I'm sure you mean Currys!! Mind you looting can be quite tiring and give an appetite, so a break for a chicken tikka masala would be welcome to many.

Fantastic for the BBC NC to peak over 2 million. The producer of Sky News at 5 has confirmed on Twitter that yesterday the channel achieved its highest daily reach ever, Quote:
Riots bringing a lot of people to tv news, Sky News yesterday achieved its highest-ever daily reach of 9.281 million, ahead of the Iraq war.

If you are going to blame something on tv you could start by looking at EastEnders.But of course thats not convenient to your little crusade.
I was always told that TV was there to educate and to entertain. Now TV just aims its programmes at the gutter without the slightest effort being put in. Cheap, nasty garbage. |

I dont know if that says more about BBC viewers, than it does ITV viewers. Fine ITV shows flop, most of them with good reason, but what should happen, happens. When it comes to the BBC on the other hand, that does not seem to happen quite so much, unless you count "Dont Scare the Hare"
![]() . ).ITV's real problem seems to be that - at least with factual and, increasingly, entertainment - the viewers don't even come to it in the first place. It's almost as if they're saying "this is bound to be rubbish - so we won't bother tuning in". This is where the argument about putting in any old summer filler, simply because it's cheap and there's little advertising money around, falls down. If you're constantly broadcasting substandard programmes it will eventually damage your whole brand - and the viewers will lose faith in you. |

I wonder if they'll try to divert it to ITV1.
Quote:
Its weird how ITV1 can regularly now sink to such depths against only moderately rating BBC1 shows, whereas BBC1 only does so when ITV1 is able to deploy its talent/reality final juggernauts. Indeed, BBC1 has tended to hold up ok of late.
It's not as if this latest string of ITV flops is that bad, certainly not massively worse than the ITV norm. Is it a sign of wider malaise? Odd given that when he was running BBC1 Peter Fincham started Sunday Strictly, which was immediately copied by ITV, sorted out Panorama by givig it a prominent slot that also managed to fill an awkward hole and launched The One Show to create a far more consistent schedule. But ITV's scheduling is atrocious. The Show Me The Funny final is a case in point, on a different day from the rest of the series and still managing to screw up the schedule by delaying News at Ten. What on earth is the point of that? Doesn't do News at Ten's reputation any good either. Of course in the past it used to be ITV that would thrash all-comers in the summer because there'd be a regular stream of new programmes while the Beeb showed next to nothing, I remember in the summer of 1993 BBC1 were down to bugger all and putting things like Food and Drink Choice Cuts at 8pm. Now it's BBC1 that are making the effort. Quote:

Ratings include HD and are tape-checked. Ouch for ITV - 1.8 million in the 9pm slot - oh dear, well Tuesday's status as a Flop Zone is well and truly set in stone now. Good for BBC1, Holby managing to stay in the 5 million - ever consistent. Also good for DIY SOS and it seems people still have an appetite for DIY shows, despite my thinking that DIY shows belonged and should have stayed in the 90's. Excellent for the Ten O' Clock News, managing to get over 7 million two nights in a row, beating ITV by nearly 5 million viewers! Wow! The Hour stabilising at the 1.7 million mark is good news and could put it in good stead to be commissioned again. On another note, an excellent rating for Newsnight with 1.33 million; it really has been on a roll recently with the phone-hacking scandal and now the London riots; likewise with Channel 4 News, which usually rates in the low 1 million-high 900,000's mark. |

People don't watch channels, they watch programmes.
That said this does not really apply to BBC 1 and ITV 1, so maybe my point isnt valid. |

First post, long time lurker
TV just gives the public what they want. We have the ITV that we deserve. You could just as well attribute all the good things in society on your favourite programmes This 'TV gives people what they want' excuse is simply pathetic. TV has just stopped trying. They tell us that ratings are falling, not because the programmes are terrible, but because people have other things to do these days. What utter rubbish. It's a chicken and egg situation. People become disenchanted with TV because the programmes are terrible, only the morons seem to be watching, so TV reacts by making the programmes even more terrible, just to cater for morons. Why doesn't TV start catering for the literate rather than the illiterate and, to the complete shock of most TV executives, the ratings will miraculously go up as the disenchanted public start to enjoy their TV again. Since last Saturday most of the chavs have 42" Plasma TV's too. Isn't it time TV showed some decent shows on them!!

Would 650k round up to 700k because that was the highest rating daybreak got last week, on the borderline I would have thought.
