Stolen from the old thread, no one seems to have picked this up:

Incredibly strange move considering it is capable of ~4m to 5m in primetime.

Part 23 didn't even last a month!

Either they are cutting them short thesedays or there is too much waffle!

I suppose it's better cutting now than next week

Seems odd to shunt the Celebrity edition of Masterchef to daytime - and not even the best daytime slot. 5.15pm would have been better IMO. Seems like a massive waste.

I am wondering however if daytime drama has been cut and this is meant to be a cheaper yet high profile replacement? (2.15 being the daytime non-Doctors drama slot)

5 Minute Breakdown (Doctor Who v All Star Family Fortunes) for anyone who is interested.

Time-----BBC1------ITV1
19:00....5.31m....3.77m
19:05....5.74m....3.81m
19:10....6.13m....4.11m
19:15....6.19m....4.71m
19:20....6.18m....4.96m
19:25....6.24m....5.42m
19:30....6.27m....5.78m
19:35....6.36m....5.89m
19:40....6.25m....5.97m
19:45....6.34m....5.79m
19:50....6.39m....6.01m
19:55....5.88m....6.82m

20:00....3.61m....8.71m
20:05....3.01m....9.62m


It appears that a fair few viewers were slowly tuning in early for the X Factor. As for Doctor Who, it's an unusual breakdown. It tends to gain quite a few casual viewers during transmission but on this occasion remained very consistent throughout. On the whole, the majority of viewers switching on/over during the hour switched to ITV1.

That's what I thought too. Otherwise, I can't believe they'd put a show, which is capable of solid 4m figures against Corrie, in a 2.15pm daytime slot. Such a waste.

I've just spotted that the SCD Preview is being repeated on the Sunday from 5:25pm to 6:30pm on BBC1. Odd.

Also, Holding Out for a Hero is on ITV1 at 7pm on Sunday 11th.

As I pointed out earlier, Celebrity MasterChef has a primetime slot:

COOKERY: Celebrity MasterChef
On: BBC 1 East (1)
Date: Friday 16th September 2011 (starting in 16 days)
Time: 20:30 to 21:00 (30 minutes long)

Some famous faces are judged on their passion for food in a search for the country's top celebrity chef.

I'm not convinced those daytime slots will verify. Let's see what tomorrow's final final schedules bring.

I don't think it's a repeat, as they both say "eight celebrities will be paired with professionals" and there's meant to be sixteen overall. I think for some reason they've split it over two nights. Can't really remember last year's but I think there was a lot of padding, it's going to be worse this year if it is split (still better than X Factor though )

Edit: Just read there are actually 14 not 16, so it could be a repeat and the description's wrong.

Pretty crazy stuff, the final got 7-8m last year. It doesn't even have the 5.15 slot.

Do you know/ have any idea what what BBC One is showing on Sundays after George Gently. The Queen's Palace's would be more suitable for that slot imo.

X Factor Australia has got off to a better start this time. Monday nights premiere drew 1.32m, up 11% from last year. Tuesday improved to 1.69m, up 14% from the second episode last year. Tuesdays show was also the higher than every rating from last year except for the final results. On both nights, it was the most watched show on Australian TV.

I think they might show Garrow's Law after George Gently. Could be risky pitching it up against Downton Abbey, but I don't know what else could go there. According to C.M.W, IIRC he said Frozen Planet is airing on Sundays from late October, so Garrow's Law could fill that Sunday slot in late September/early October.

That'd be a stupid time to air a new preview show, so I think it will be a repeat. That or the BSI have returned with a bang.

Celebrity Big Brother is still maintaining a decent figure. Poirot struggled against an excellent New Tricks. The Conspiracy Files performed well. Emmerdale and the first Coronation Street did well but EastEnders and the second Coronation Street seem slightly low on share.

I was thinking maybe Jeremy Paxman's series on the Empire but I read somewhere that it wasn't on until 2012 but the book that accompanies the series is out in October. Though the book could just be out early to cash in on Christmas sales .

And besides a historical series about the British Empire might not be best placed opposite a period drama (set at the time of the Empire's decline, no less!).

To be honest, Sundays look like a bit of a no-win situation for BBC One. Hard to see what they could play there that won't get thrashed. Even the older, upmarket, PSB fare they usually reliably turn to in these difficult slots will work less well against Downton than they would against other ITV hits. I was expecting to see Birdsong (a 2x90 drama) around Remembrance Sunday after Downton has finished, but thinking about it that wouldn't fit with Frozen Planet.

Birdsong I think will air either November or Christmas. What have BBC One got confirmed aside from Ab Fab, The Borrowers and The Royle Family.

Frozen Planet should do well although I think it'll do 5-6m whereas Planet Earth did 6-7m although that was split into two chunks.

BBC1 have "Young Herriot", a 3x60 drama about the early years of the author James Herriot and a 1 hour documentary on him too. It sounds like your typical Sunday night fare.

They could air Young Herriot at Christmas or January. I'm unsure why Ab Fab could go, maybe Christmas 10pm followed by an episode on New Years Day.

Bouncing off the success of Australia's Got Talent, probably. What will please them is that it grew from the launch to episode two. The audience seems to be willing to give it another chance.

Christmas Day 10pm is a good shout, I read somewhere (cant find the page now) that the specials were only 30 mins long. So perhaps this for Christmas Day:

21:00: The Royle Family
22:00: Absolutely Fabulous
22:30: Comedy Roadshow (as its already been announced for Christmas Day)

Or alternatively the first Ab Fab could go on Xmas Eve to form the usual comedy night with My Family and HIGNFY.
