The Rugby did great numbers but it did help it was two home nations, can imagine what the figures will be like if England get into the final. What was the 2007 final rate?
Doctor Who and to an extent Merlin did very well considering the unusually hot weather and both will timeshift well. MPD seems to be up from recent weeks. |

I think the BBC will be pretty pleased with their Saturday night all said and done. Strictly is low in raw terms, but you can't fault a 40% share and it was always going to suffer the worst of the weather ending at just gone 7. Doctor Who did well with the extra lead in and it'll be nice to see the finale with a near 8m official. Merlin it appears enjoys a Who lead in less than the usual Strictly one - but it'll benefit in the coming weeks, I'm sure.
X Factor did fine for ITV1 though obviously suffered like everything else. It's the shows around it that were less impressive - whereas it prospered opposite Who, Strictly is a far tougher assignment for Family Fortunes. And Ross was not impressive. There's an element of "been there, done that" with him and his shows now. I think the BBC show ended at the ruby time and clearly there's not a lot of thirst for him on Saturdays. |

Big Brother got less than a million last night (971k) and that was even when Strictly/X Factor had finished, what will it get tonight against Spooks and Downton Abbey. The Goonies is on today on ch5 (4.45pm) hopefully they will be as successful as Mrs Doubtfire was last week.

Solid end for DW and higher than I was expecting even if it was alittle disappointing IMO. SCD suffered in the early slot due to the weather, but 7.5m is still a respectable rating and it was never going to match the 8.0m rating from Friday night.
TXF suffered due to the weather. In its own right 9.5m is a great rating but for XF standards its the lowest rating for the show since Boot Camp 1 in 2009 and a far cry away from the 11.9m that watched the same episode last year. I honestly don't know what to expect for the live shows now. Obviously yesterday was due to exceptional circumstances with a heatwave in October (warmest first day in October ever maybe), but I think tonight will do much better. Maybe looking at 11m (inc. +1). Last year the first live show averaged 12.2m and the results show got 13.1m. I don't think we can expect to see figures like that, but with 1m or so knocked off each I'd expect to see 11m and just under 12m. Just looking at the ratings for the 2009 series and the live show did incredibly well. I'll be shocked if this series beats that series now. I'd expect this series to be the third most watched series. |

So if I understand this correctly ITV1 +1 may have been ahead of or at least tied with BBC2, Ch 4 and Five in the 20.30 to 21.30 hour? Dont think that has happened before?
I think the high ITV1+1 figures depressed the raw ITV1 figures. If the 600k hadn't watched on ITV1+1 due to it not being available like previous years, many of them would've PVRed it and watched later on the same night via timeshift and would've been counted as part of the ITV1 overnights. I'm pretty sure TXF would've had 10m yesterday on the ITV1 showing alone had ITV1+1 not been available. This is why comparisons to previous years can be quite difficult sometimes when the figures are in the same ballpark to former years' ratings, although in yesterday's case, it was comfortably down y-o-y by either measure anyway.

SCD suffered the worst weatherwise-trying to get people to tune in at 6.00pm is tough enough anyway without Spanish temperatures outside. So it did pretty well imo. Merlin ok but will hope to improve. As for XF, well still huge but last years figures were buoyed by Cheryl Cole around this time and maybe it was inevitable there would be a series average year on year fall-especially as Miss Cole is nowhere to be seen this time. Agree re JR, more marmite now than ever -apparently trying to make his shows more family friendly though risks alienating everyone-the legacy of Sachsgate and 18 milliongate still irks many and his old audience probably miss his adolescent outbursts. Added to that the same guests keep turning up-though presumably with the addition of the XF extended family and hangers on. |

Just because this years figures aren't really gathering any form of momentum yet. All the figures are around 10.5m or 11.0m inc. +1.

True - I hope tonight it makes some sort of recovery and that the live shows start well. Next weeks first live show is shorter than last years too, not by much, but I'm not convinced it can get to the 2009/2010 heights yet.

The hot weather has brought the ratings down quite a lot. In my area loads of people seemed to be having BBQs and were out in their gardens until late 10pm+ as it was so warm.
I went for a BBQ as well and didnt watch any TV last night and im guessing it was the same across the UK. With +1 its still respectable for the XF and im sure we'll see a boost for the live shows qith cold wet weather due mid week. Dr Who did well also all things considered, its not my type of programming but its good to see Saturday night family drama on TV. Family Fortunes will always going to get around 3.5m when on against SCD, it held up well IMO. |

Michael Grade is the man who brought misery to Christmas Day. Before Grade most of the shows on the day were entertaining & upbeat. Now no Christmas Day is complete with a triple suicide, abortion, knife fight overdose.

Guess ITV turned down the chance to air the latest instalment. They aired the last one IIRC. Are the BBC still airing Child of Our Time which is the same idea as the Up series but yearly.

People expect more from the BBC though and up until Doctor Who and Strictly took up residence, followed by The Royal Family, apart from EastEnders and Only Fools and Horses there were variations in the schedule, even if it was basically family drama, entertainment, soap and comedy.
Quote:
It's in the same slot every year - people talk of turkey but really Christmas TV is more of a present - and you don't want the same presents year after year.
Suggesting BBC1 should weaken their Christmas Day line-up, the biggest day of the year for them, just because the same shows were on last year is ludicrous. Let's demand ITV put The X Factor on a Tuesday. It's been on Saturday for ages and it's getting boring. Put Popstar to Operastar on there instead. Quote:

Tbh, I don't think JR would do any worse at 10.30pm than he does at 10pm. And while airing in the 10pm-10.30pm period isn't ideal for a family show, it's probably still a better option than clashing with Strictly for so long. Obviously it's now pushing into the 8pm hour, so it can't be entirely avoided, but 15 minutes is better than 45.
Piers Morgan must be enjoying seeing those ratings, though. But it probably also reflects one of the issues X Factor has at the moment - neither Barlow nor Tulisa have quite the same profile that the panel last year had. But they'll be hoping that changes once the live shows get going, maybe some rivalry and scandal, judges performing live perhaps, the whole fashion thing... |

I enjoy the fact that people neglect to include +1 when discussing X-Factors "decline." If we include +1 this series is averaging better than last year significantly, and is only slightly down without it.
