Seriously, welcome back mate. ”

Cheers Mate.

I was intending to defend my title but work commitments over the next few weeks would have made it impossible.

Looks like it should be an interesting week!

(Great start Mr Pizza

TBH I wanted to increase my prediction for Young Apprentice last night, but looking at the ratings im glad I didnt, chances are my first prediction is closer than what I would have changed it to.

Me & Mr Average disagree on James Mays Man Lab, so I hope ratings are lower than average on this one. Same for Death in Paradise, even if it would mean the both of us getting points.

X = the symbol for average.

Thanks, lads.

I'm not sure how long it'll last, but I'll enjoy it while it does.

Just checked my predictions v the player averages of the 20 shows, 5 are exact! : 6 are 0.1m away : 4 are 0.2m away : 4 are 0.4m-0.6m away : only 1 is 1m+ away. I am definitely mr average this week, hopefully it can pay off in a good way.

Tonight we have -

James May Man Lab (main)
Death in Paradise (special)
BBC News at Ten (backup)

I went quite low for James May as well. I looked at his series 1 ratings and it consistently lost viewers throughout. It did have tough competition on Sunday nights, but still can't see it topping 2m tonight.

grahamzxy you are 1.6 off average, and I am 4.7.

My predictions are 6.3 different to yours.

I would like to see James May rate well tonight, only up against Holby City / High Stakes / Gok Wan & The Amanda Knox Story. It may struggle to get 2nd in timeslot, but it ought get 3rd place easily. I am watching it on BBC HD now - so far so good.

well i went way to low with death in paradise

grahamzxy

26-10-2011

I knew Death in Paradise would rate well, it could have been anywhere from 4.5m-6m, so I went in the middle. Happy to see James May rate so well - I doubt Charnham will be

We always wait for Dancc officials as occasionally some shows are tape checked and ratings vary slightly. Death in Paradise was reported at 5.7m, 5.75m and 5.8m - who knows exactly!

my predictions were dreadful last night, didnt score a single point.

Dont know about the news however.

This is so different to last week, ratings all over the place. Excellent for Frozen Planet, will have to watch it on iPlayer in HD. I scored one point last night (so bad in fact that Charnham scored more!) There is a danger that I could be bottom of the table or thereabouts yikes!

I'll give you a run for your money at the bottom of the board, had another TERRIBLE night last night

based on ratings, in the ratings thread, I had another awful night Paul Merton was a surprised, but I under predicted Frozen Planet way too much.

Tonight we have 3 mains - Panorama: Britain on the Fiddle, Great British Food Revival & Hidden, with Question Time as a back-up. Still 9 mains to go this week, so too early to call it a disaster just yet.
