Whats the X factor including +1
and what is the 5 min peak

We dunno yet what TXF averaged including +1. In recent weeks, it's been adding 500k on +1, so I would guess about ~11.1m.

The 5-min peak for TXF (including +1) was definitely 12.5m.

Well done on the very early post on a Sunday, rzt

A surge for Epic Win. Is that just due to the Strictly effect? I guess I'll find out when I see it's ratings next week.

Strictly launch show up 0.8m on last year's.(edit: my overnights from last year, taken from Broadcast, was 6.8m. Others on this thread are quoting different. Whatever, it's up on last year by a healthy margin.) (edit, edit: just seen from ronant's post below that my figures don't include HD)

I wonder if that 5.8m for the very last ROB? programme will secure it a second series. But a bit poor for Jonathan Ross, especially when he was only on against the Proms.

x factor should get the highest ratings so far this series tonight as its on sunday

Any peak for the rugby? That 3m figure looks poor, but then it is over 3 hours.

Great for ROB, second series and a longer run please ITV. Please.....

I would guess 5/6m for a peak.

I think the Proms might have been part of the problem actually, as Ross had a high ABC1 skew last week, which is the sort of audience likely to have watched the Proms. Also Alan Carr and The Saturdays aren't exactly big name guests to draw people in (certainly not compared to next week's guests: Hugh Jackman, Stephen Fry and Peter Kay).

Bad ratings for BB.

If RoB is renewed I think it will be a weekly show wedged between X Factor.

At least Doctor who deservedly got more than red or black. and there is normaly as least 1 million who dont watch Dr who live broadcast.

09:00- Rugby World Cup 2011: Argentina v England: 3.2 not bad for that time of day.

Brilliant rating for the Strictly Come Dancing launch. A better rating than last year even though it had an earlier slot. This 'preview' show has become more of an event in the last couple of years due to the change in format and is more of a spectacle. That rating bodes really well for the launch in a few weeks' time. Doctor Who up from last week, but not as much as I was hoping for, because it had such a big lead-in and up against a weakened Red or Black I thought it could've rated in the mid 6's. Decent for Last Night of the Proms, back to normal levels after last year dropped under that 4m mark.

ASFF always seems to be dented by SCD, the same thing happened last year too. As I thought, Red or Black up from the last few episodes. TXF really does help the shows around it a lot - that results show rated about 45% higher than the last two days. It still shouldn't come back though, if it has to rely so much on TXF for a decent audience, then it's not worth doing again. I have to say, that's a poor rating for Jonathan Ross and it might be an indication of the kind of ratings he'll be getting early next year when there's no TXF around to prop him up. The guests might not have been the best, but it still should've been higher. With that said, it'll go back up next week once it has TXF lead-in.

The Big Brother rating is very disappointing. I think as long as it can average 1.5-2.0m in the overnights during the series, it'll have done a decent job. But perhaps running this series so close to CBB wasn't a wise idea, as it meant that the BB launch didn't get its own week or two of promotion like usual. Million Pound Drop has been on the low side the last 2 episodes, but I suspect it'll be back up to near 2m next week once Red or Black is gone.

The Daily Mail is going to love that, it should get a big boost next week after the X factor but it doesn't bode well for next year when it will have to stand on its own two feet.



If anything it just shows the power of the X factor and how it can boost a show on either side of it when it has no serious entertainment opposition.Look at what Tuesday night flop Zone material got in the slot last year over a full hour.


The removal of The X factor lead out and decent opposition sees Family Fortunes ratings fall by around 50%

And...

Primetime Shares - 19:00 to 23:00
ITV1 - 24.3%
BBC1 - 21.3%
BBC2 - 7.6%
Channel 4 - 5.3%
Channel 5 - 4.1%

Pretty poor for BB admittedly and disappointing considering the strength of the episode. But it was only 200k down on CBB this time last week so that could mean ratings of around 1.8M-2.0M for non Saturday highlights shows. It got lost in a sea of old skewing US drama repeats last night whilst other channels were chasing young viewers more aggressively. Let's see what happens next week when boxing makes a welcome return to Channel 5.

ROB obviously did better because of One Direction performing.

Something for everyone to brag about. Doctor Who beat Ant & Dec, The X Factor topped the night, Last Night Of The Proms beat Jonathan Ross, Red Or Black's results show was up last night, Strictly had a strong launch and Robbie Sykes & George S are going to bury the hatchet and buy a house.

One of those statements is a lie!

Yeah obviously
not because it had the biggest show in the Uk lodged between it

Red or Black did OK and 4.6 million is decent considering the LE flops ITV have had over the summer. If it is to be recommissioned, though, no dominating the schedule with it and it would do better as a weekly show.
Excellent for the rugger, ITV1 had five times as many viewers in this slot than normal.

TXF averaged 11.1m/46% (inc +1). Peak was 12.5m/50% (inc +1).

Also yesterday's rugby match peaked at 4.9m (46%).

Brilliant
should be even higher tonight

rzt,
any figures for Scotland versus Romania from 01.30 to 04.10 on ITV1 on Friday night/ early Saturday?

Those figures aren't out yet. I should be able to get them tomorrow though.

Do we have the non-ITV measure from 6pm to 11pm - ie, not excluding BBC1's most popular show of the night?


You would hope the match got 5-6m, it had plenty of publicity, but that 3.2m average for the coverage sounds a bit lowish.

Looks like ITV might be pinning their RWC hopes on Wales looking at their current performance compared to England yesterday...
