Really!
Lol-probably better not to have asked
I think Channel 5 could do really well with Mrs. Doubtfire tonight and easily hit 2 million or beyond. It's a popular and family friendly film...

The last 40 minutes opposite X-Men will drag it down. But it's been trending on Twitter most of the afternoon. Channel 5 is best for movies on Sundays.
Wasn't Big Brother trending on Twitter the other day? And we all know how well that worked out...

It just gives a loose indication that's all. I haven't noticed any other UK TV trends (yet).

I hope it does do well; Channel 5 deserve it for this film. I'm predicting around 2-2.5 million but it could do better actually.

I doubt it'll be quite that high. I reckon around 1.5-2m.
Not sure this one has been on C5 before. I thought it had, but I just looked and the last FTA UK network to screen it was ITV1 in December.
EDIT: It has - Channel 5's 23rd most watched programme of all time incidentally, pulling nearly 4m in 2000.

There was one with Ian Wright too - something like "Wright around the World" I think?
The early ones were easily the best - both Winning Lines and Jetset, and I personally didn't mind The Big Ticket either.

Kevin O'Sullivan in today's Sunday Mirror:
Quote:
“Number-crunching time as the nerds reached for their calculators in a desperate bid to prove that the latest silly episode of Dr Who didn't have a smaller audience than big Vernon Kay's All-Star Family Fortunes. But it did.”
“Number-crunching time as the nerds reached for their calculators in a desperate bid to prove that the latest silly episode of Dr Who didn't have a smaller audience than big Vernon Kay's All-Star Family Fortunes. But it did.”
Well, there you go, Kevin, we don't need a calculator, we just need patience to wait for the OFFICIAL ratings, the ratings that count OFFICIALLY, because this is the 21st Century, you dinosaur, where modern technology means people can fit TV into their lives and watch when it's convenient to them rather than have to run their lives around TV.
<rasp!!>Someone stated here some days ago that Doc Martin has past 10m in the officials twice before which IIRC were both series finales. Episode 2 this week got 8.81m overnights not including +1 so should get 10m in the officials not including +1 (Not including +1 means we can compare like-with-like with the previous series).
So the ITV1 officials for w/ending today could see 10m+ audiences for Doc Martin, Downton Abbey, 2 X Factors and possibly 1 or 2 Corries as well. That would be a pretty impressive feat.for this day and age.

what bullocks, heaven forbid a TV show have a plot arc with questions unanswered, were people not call J J Abrams a genius for doing that exact same thing with Lost?
This season has not been difficult to follow, and answers have been more forthcoming than I had expected.

Usually when he reviews Doctor Who he says it's just not his kind of show and doesn't 'get' it, though he does say sometimes that he can see why people who like this kind of genre of programme enjoy it.
Kevin O'Sullivan's reply to Doctor Who Magazine's tweet saying that they're going to stop tweeting overnight figures from now on:
Quote:
“In your dreams.
Don't worry. There's no shame in being beaten by All Star Family Fortunes. It will sink in in the end.
The official ratings are a distortion. The overnights reflect a programme's true popularity.
You people are so strange. It's only a TV show. And it's not doing very well.
And you were perfectly happy with the Doctor Who overnights until Family Fortunes topped them”

Whilst you maybe able to claim that the +7 ratings are distorted, I dont see how that is the case with the "Final" and also when a show timeshifts like Doctor Who, it does the show no favours to focus on a low number, when its well known its going to improve dramatically in the "final" rating.

Family films do quite well on Channel 5. I think they have the rights to Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs but I don't they can show until next year. Pink Panther 2 I think could go into a afternoon slot.
The Daily Mail has been catching up with Tamara Ecclestone ahead of her new Channel 5 series Billion $$ Girl in November:

Sounds like an interesting project. Good to see they've got something lined up to keep the younger viewers with Channel 5 post-Big Brother.

Hmmm... wonder if that'll be a bigger flop than Candy Bar Girls?

WOW! At the Doc Martin rating, absolutely fantastic. Is there any indication for what last Sunday's Downton Abbey rating is? I suspect it'll be around 10m.

Brave man. Some of the Dr Who fans are so obsessive they probably are debating whether to re-write the Top 3 on their dog turd mailing list between him, Michael Grade and Vernon Kaye.

Downton Abbey's consolidated rating will be released tomorrow- based on the way it was timeshifting last year, I reckon it'll be in the mid to high 10m's range.

Dunno. It's part of the reason I'm here. All part of the fun really, not knowing.
Sometimes it's better not knowing.

Bad example.
JJ Abrams had very little to do with Lost. Plus Lost was shit. And JJ Abrams is horrific in every way imaginable.
