Brilliant for Spooks to be beaten by less than a 2 to 1 margin. It should have been worse, and you'd think Spooks will timeshift better than DA.
On the RPG, the average prediction for Downton Abbey was 8.9m, so we were pretty much spot on there. |

Big Brother performed marginally better last night there with the 1.2m which was against competition from BBC 1, ITV and ITV 2. Still quite a low share though.

X Factor - 11.2, 42.3%
Downton - 9.0, 34.6% Spooks - 4.6, 17% BB - 1.2, 4.6% Just Not That In To You - 1.4, 5.2% ITV News - 3.7, 20.3% BBC News 3.3, 13.5% Spooks & BB doing as expected too. I'd be interested to see what Xtra Facror got - quite low I'd expect. Competition is heating up now for BB but they have some respite for the next 2 or 3 nights before they get hit with X Factor USA |

Its a shame for Spooks to finish against something like Downton Abbey, and it looks like I need to increase my X-Factor guess for a Sunday

about where I expected DA to be given its 90 minute run time plus the the lead in not coming from live X Factor results shows yet. Still maybe a tad low when you factor in the stv effect
You'd expect me to have a little bit of fun at DA's ratings being down on the last episode, but it's obviously a fantastic figure for a period drama. However, it was very much at the lower end of expectations, whereas Spooks was probably in the top half of it's expectations range. Still, only half time. We'll have to wait a week to find out.how many.actually watched each show. |

Very sporting of you to acknowledge that.

We'll have to wait a week to find out.how many.actually watched each show. But just remember DA timeshifts well and it increased as its run continued last year, so the "normal" rules dont apply here (x% drop between episode 1 & 2, etc) Plus if rumours are to be believed and they kill off a major character in WW1 this season, that will ratchet up the interest factor a bit more |

Thanks, guys
Came to this thread for the first time, trying to see how Downton did last night. I went back for a few weeks, too, reading the ratings and your comments with interest. Just want to say thanks for the sterling job you're doing in here. This is a thread I'll continue to read!

Sky running ads for Glee during X Factor - will be fascinating to see how it performs next week.
I think it'll be yet another Sky TV show that posts uninspiring overnights, before timeshifting massively in the officials. |

Sunday 18th September Overnights Very nice for ITV1. I wonder how high it might have been if it wasn't for Holding Out for a Hero?Primetime Shares ITV1: 30% (+1: 0.8%) I did think Downton Abbey might have come in slightly higher but still an excellent return for it. |

It's not a good rating but at least it was ahead of ITV2 and Channel 4. I still think they should try more 9pm shows - Wednesdays would be a very good place to start. |

Against part 2 of a two-hour X Factor USA premiere, though? I do think Sky have messed up with the scheduling. Why not Mondays 9pm as per E4?
I think it'll be yet another Sky TV show that posts uninspiring overnights, before timeshifting massively in the officials. I had forgotten about XF USA - look forward to seeing how it gets on on both sides of the Atlantic. Is it just me or have ITV2 not been promoting it that heavily? |

Almost needless to say, but a great night for ITV. Downton was below my own guesses, but I suppose there were quite a lot of variables working in different directions on that one: the STV effect and the hype vs. the lower lead in (not that 11m isn't massive!) and the opposition. As George says, I doubt this'll suffer the usual week-on-week drops, and we can be sure it'll benefit as TXF gets into top gear over the coming weeks.
Spooks did OK, really. About what the BBC must have been hoping for when they placed it there. Both dramas will obviously time shift extremely well too, so that'll finish with a perfectly respectable number. Though I anticipate it could drop somewhat over the run. |

A couple more ratings from yesterday: Quote:
ITV1's early morning coverage of England's rugby World Cup game against Georgia averaged 2.2 million viewers, a 39.3% share, between 6.30am and 9.10am. Live coverage of the match, which kicked off at 7am, averaged 2.5 million. Source: Guardian
BBC1's Match of the Day repeat had 800,000 viewers, a 13.3% share, between 7.10am and 8.30am. |

Weird night last night. I'm really not sure how else to describe a night when a rating of 9 million can justifiably be described as a little bit on the low side or a bit disappointing and less than 5 million on BBC1 at the same time is surprisingly good. Yet all of that does apply. Very weird. Quote:
It remains astonishing to me that the ITV Player can still be that bad. And this is a service they want to start charging people for...?

And now for the TV event of the autumn, the eagerly awaited new series - of Curb Your Enthusiasm on More4....
...at 11.05pm on a Sunday. Crazy! I wonder how poorly that will rate?! ![]() Though S8 has been a huge success in the US this year with speculation that Larry David will do 2 more seasons |

Is there becoming a trend for TV drama to be timeshifted for later viewing?
If I liked Downton Abbey I wold certainly not watch it as broadcast, too many adverts. Any ITV drama lends itself to PVRing through the every-8-minutes adverts With Dr Who it's perhaps more a case of it being out of place on a saturday early evening. |
