Don't forget that the commercial channels have a "pseudo-timeshift" because of the way the overnights are compiled compared to the officials. The former includes the internal ad breaks. The latter doesn't. I'm still awaiting some stats from "trickytree" (unless I missed his post?) to illustrate how much the overnights for TXF are dragged down by the ad breaks.

Why do you think it will rate lower then 2009. Looking back at the 2009 ratings show 2 and show 4 got 10.8 and 10.3m. I Think this year will easily beat that. I have a feeling it will be inbetween as RZT said

Don't the BBC realise they should be screening an empty dancefloor from 7.30pm onwards, in order to keep the Ratings Thread happy?

You can normally tell from the 5-minute breakdowns which are posted on here from time to time how much it is dragged down (normally 1m down for each ad-break).
Next week also clashes with Strictly though. We shall see. |

Interesting story:
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/media/ne...y-scripts.html There was some talk earlier in the year of Danny Cohen wanting to attract the biggest names in British comedy to BBC1. Looks like Cleese is one of them then. Unfortunately, it's not going well... As for the BBC sending him a couple of "terrible" scripts, they might have been the best ones anyone had submitted. Not really the BBC's fault if no-one sends them good scripts. |

The quality of conversation in the ratings thread appears to be going downhill rather quickly. There's been some incredibly banal posts this weekend.

Beats me why John doesn't put pen to paper and write something of his own, instead of moaning. He's more than capable of it, as he's shown in the past, and he's presumably looking for work, otherwise he wouldn't even be reading the scripts the BBC sent him.

I've been wondering, seeing as Jonathan Ross isn't doing too well on ITV with 3 million despite an X Factor lead-in, would a drama work better in the post X-Factor slot, something in the mould of Casualty or an emergency drama to keep viewers hooked across the evening?

22:00 - The Jonathan Ross Show: 4.19m (21.2%) I think the answer is no, especially as Jonathan Ross is cheap and drama is expensive. |

Typical - the first Sunday in ages where we all really want a minute by minute breakdown for Saturday night and we don't have one.
Wonder if the usual sources don't want to share it given the Strictly head to head victory last night? Or is that a conspiracy theory too far...?

What a brilliant night for BBC Two! It just shows what a superb comedy writer David Croft was for three of his shows to record figures like that so long after original broadcast. As others have said, maybe BBC Two should be looking to take the approach of airing vintage comedy across the night on Saturday's to attract a different demographic to other channels.
So what to make of The X Factor's rating? It seems churlish to criticise a figure of 10.95m but I think ITV1 would've wanted it to be at least on par with 2009 even with the clash - especially as the 2009 clash was longer. I guess if ITV put pressure on Cowell to try and boost ratings he'll simply try and reintroduce himself or Cheryl back into the show but they shouldn't be panicking yet. Unlike, maybe, TV Burp which sadly pulled in a low figure for what was the strongest show in a long time; no doubt thanks to a poor Family Fortunes lead in. Jonathan Ross performed reasonably well but Lady Gaga will always be an attraction. I can't believe I'm saying this after a 7pm-10pm primetime share of 35.2% but I think ITV1 will be disappointed. BBC One on the other hand will no doubt be delighted. Despite the early start, Strictly Come Dancing easily crossed the 8m mark and Merlin did very well in the primetime slot. There would be no point putting Merlin in the teatime slot as the BBC would be crucified for clashing Strictly with The X Factor for even longer. Casualty did ok to get above the 4m mark and Secret Fortune held up with a reasonable rating. Channel 5 were hurt by the competition but Big Brother did ok at 10pm to get at least above the 1m mark though it's nothing to write home about. The Million Pound Drop Live did well at 10pm, and maybe sucked viewers away from The Xtra Factor, which did very poorly considering. Foyle's War, on the other hand, did very well but no doubt ITV would prefer the figures to be the other way around! |

Sorry for double posting, but even before I see Strictly Come Dancing's rating for tonight I think they need to rethink the Results Show. What's the point of airing a recording, when people can just discover the result online? I suppose the problem is that the BBC are looking to make cuts and a recording is cheaper than getting everyone together on a Sunday as well but a live results show would rate better on a Sunday night, as The X Factor has proven.

As others have said, last night's ratings were undoubtedly boosted a bit by the BBC2 Scotland coverage of the Scotland match. Which in turn, probably did dent both SCD and TXF/Burp north of the border. Quote:

I think the Beeb should make more of the Sunday show, like the successful 45 minute show 3 years ago, which was getting 11m a week for a good old fashioned bit of entertainment and variety - and left ITV no option but to copycat the format for TXF - and do it live like ITV do. |

Dad's Army has done fantastic on Saturdays against TXF the last few years, regularly getting 2.5m or more. IIRC, a Christmas episode got 3m last Christmas Night against Corrie and Strictly, BBC2's top show of the day.

It got 8.7m so did a bit better than "crossing the 8m mark" - it peaked at 9.8m.
