References to a "peak audience share" of so-many million... Tut-tut, BBC News. You'd think the reporters would check with someone in the press office or the TV dept to find out how to express ratings. |

Merlin seems to gain momentum. I'm almost sure 1.44m is the best timeshift in the history of the show, while 5.9m is the best overnight rating of Series 4 so far.
If anyone's interested, I have created a simple diagram to compare all the official ratings of Merlin. As you can see, Series 3 had an amazing run last year, and I think Series 4 has a good chance to top that. I've said before that the show is under appreciated. Last year's series was up 13% on 2009 and out-rated Hustle, Spooks and Ashes to Ashes among other big BBC drama names - despite airing right up against the biggest show on TV. A phenomenal performance, and this year has a good shot at matching that. If Doctor Who shows up in Autumn next year, I hope it doesn't mean Merlin gets bumped around for it's fifth (and perhaps final) series. It wouldn't deserve it. |

The Simpsons did really well for its Halloween episode at 8pm; they are always highly anticipated by the fans, so it would have seen a boost due to this. It skews really young too, as 8 million viewers equaled a 4.0 rating. When you look at Family Guy pulling in a 3.2 at 9pm, it makes me wonder Fox really should find a way of keeping The Simpsons running. Just looking at the NBC football ratings though, they didn't really peak until after The Simpsons had finished so Family Guy would have been hit more in that respect.
I think a schedule of The Simpsons at 8pm, followed by The Flintstones at 8:30pm could be a really strong line-up. I suppose they will have that for one year anyway in the 2012/2013 season. Which show typically has the higher season average, The Simpsons or Family Guy? [EDIT - pretty sure it would be Family Guy but interested to know the gap] I don't have the numbers off hand but since its last uncancelling Family Guy has had a bigger demo average than The Simpsons. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if The Simpsons has more total viewers though. The gap will be much smaller this year though demo wise at least. On the subject of The Flintstones its still not entirely clear to me when that's launching. 2013 is the very vague date being thrown around for it but I'm not sure if that's Fall 2013 or midseason replacement for 2013. |

Yeah, the show really did take off as Series 3 progressed. I'm sure a stronger performance from it's Strictly lead-in helped (Merlin S1 and 2 were bumped before and after Strictly like a yo-yo, so the new consistency was welcome) but I think the show hit it's stride too. Managed to shake off some of the really formulaic traits and up the stakes by moving on with the legends.

So The X Factor's peak was the same as it's average? Well, you've got to hand it to them, it held onto it's audience!

Not sure, don't forget Euro 2012 starts on that Friday, so England playing on Friday or Saturday evening would cause huge problems with BGT.
![]() Seriously, I think they'll probably air it the week before but I reckon EastEnders will have at least one hour long in Jubilee week; especially if the BBC retain the Euro 2012 rights. |

Thats Strictly's rating
![]() Oh and in peak audience the BBC won the night anyway The fools are downplaying it!![]() What were the 11.5/11.0 peaks reported on here on Sunday - 5 minute or 15 minute peaks? And a 10.1 peak looks very low for The X Factor considering it rated 9.9. Is there anything actually factually correct in that article?

Easy peasy....
Saturday 19:25 - You've Been Framed! 19:55 - TV Burp 20:25 - The X Factor 21:25 - Piers Morgan's Life Stories Sunday 18:30 - The X Factor 19:30 - The Cube 20:30 - The X Factor Results - one person from Saturday vs one person from Sunday to avoid 'voting irregularly' 21:30 - Downton Abbey Simples. (PS, would never happen before anyone says that, this is simply in response to Fudd about how ITV could - but never really would - get round it... ) The X Factor may as well just move onto Sunday completely a la Dancing On Ice. ![]() I wonder (purely hypothetically) whether ITV would move The X Factor right back into the early evening if BBC One moved Strictly later? The only problem would be there would be less of an audience around at that time and it would be conceding primetime to BBC One as well. Another day lost. I guess they could always move The X Factor to Tuesday's - main show 7-9; results 9.30-10 with Emmerdale jammed in between. The night's share would sky rocket.

Its for Sky Living, was announced a couple of weeks ago. It sounds pretty awful.

Well, the 2010 one was in readiness for schedule disruption from the impending Football World Cup, so I suppose it depends on whether ITV and the BBC share the rights to next year's European Football Championship, or ITV go it alone.

God knows how the BBC are going to schedule Doctor Who, Merlin and Strictly on a weekly basis if that's the position they've managed to find themselves in. Although its a bloody nice position to be in I suppose - How do we schedule these three hit shows on the same night... |

This is ITV we're talking about here - they're starting I'm A Celebrity on a Sunday only to ditch it after one highlights show for the football.

ITV2 will be pleased as it means they can run Vampire Diaries as normal that Tuesday. The other nights ITV2 has been weakened beyond belief in order to not compete with IAC with obscure programmes like Sleepwalkers: Secrets of the Night and Can't Stop Eating getting 9pm outings. They missed a trick in not airing High Stakes there instead, that would have been a bigger turnoff.

I thought GeorgeS was the only fan of +1 ratings for ITV1, maybe BBC3 can occasionally repeat programmes shown earlier on BBC1 (like Eastenders) just to have a level playing field when it comes to same evening repeat showings.

No FX in the officials. I was expecting The Walking Dead in the 'others' top 30.
