im only two points behind you so its meaningless, that said my track record with football is mixed at best.
Our upcoming predictions are so close it is remarkable - many just 0.1m different, some are exact - only 2 are wide of the mark, Rugby World Cup & Graham Norton Show - so I don't expect to beat you by more than 8 points this week or vice versa.

I am quite sure I have got the Rugby World Cup wrong, its so random, I might as well have rolled a dice to decide what my prediction will be.

I am however not expecting your to beat me at all

Unless I am mistaken Arsenal slipped between the fingers, didn't see anyone with the exact rating, Paul Merton did well as expected, Waterloo Road was higher than expected, luckily it was only 3rd back-up. Bad night for me, I am down in Charnham territory - a.k.a. near the bottom

Tonight ought be better - Educating Essex & Celebrity Juice as mains, Emmerdale as a back-up, things could be looking up this time tomorrow.

Can I point out a slight discrepancy - it looks like Rugby World Cup predictions have been used inadvertantly to calculate the Marseille v Arsenal *Special*, I only noticed because my own score was 4 points too high. I dont think anyone actually predicted 3.8m for the Arsenal match. Hopefully someone else can validate this.

Yeah, it looks that way. Sorry about that, not sure how I made that mistake. I will fix that in today's update after 5 this evening.

Most of the predictions are towards the back end of the week.

Apart from the Arsenal game it's been pretty high scoring I'd say with lots of 5ers.

Remember that despite it being Friday already we're less than halfway through this week's shows with lots to come over the weekend.

EDIT: Mike beat me to it!

You're only ever so slightly below average now. The leaderboard is really tight this week as people predicted very close together.

That's partly why I've mixed it up by calling a blind week next week.

yes I looked at some of the other predictions*, and was not surprised when you did a blind week.

* when I realised that me & grahamzxy predicted the same for the Arsenal, Marseille, game.

Due to the limited data posted from last night it doesn't look as though I'll be in a position to update the table today. I will catch up the best I can tomorrow.

In the meantime please keep your Week 4 predictions coming in- 6 sets (including my own) have been submitted so far.

I would think we will get the soap figures at some point, but im not sure about Norton, but since Neighbours is a back up, and alot of us went for the same thing, it does not matter too much.
