Top Boy debuted with just 1.1m (+125K on +1) - less than Big Brother and lowest of 5 terrestrials at 10pm. Shame - but catch-up should help

Does the Sunday shows success not just say that we need Top of the Pops back?

In the end it is an hour of complete and utter tripe.
Yet is best rated of the week!
Or maybe people watch it to see the results, the drama of the sing off and to see the guest performers.

While it may not be a high brow as some of the poster on DS pretend to be it is simply an hour of easy watching entertainment television. I really do not understand the hate. If you don't want to watch it TURN OVER.

Oh and if you care, X Factor won the ratings battle with Strictly on Sunday. Average audience of over 12m with HD and +1.


Seems not. XF was ahead according to DS reality bites.
X Factor averaged 12 million btw.
No TXF got 12 million average with +1
Thanks for that. And up on last week. The results show always tops the week.

Ow. Its across 4 days isn't it? (think thats what the ad said).
Didn't watch it so don't know if it was good or not - but I can't see it holding up if its only getting those ratings :/

X Factor might be lower than previous years but I think a lot of people just watch it online or catch up on the Sunday afternoon after being out on the Saturday. I do that now and manage to condense the whole thing to about an hour - much better way to watch it. Then watch results on Sunday with everyone else.

EH!? I don't first of all until the last few minutes.

My point is its fluff as you say - easy entertainment. So would a Top of the Pops on Sundays at 8!
Hence the point that its massively successful, isn't it time for more easy watching 'entertainment' programmes on Sundays?!

Sunday
The Cube: 4.1m (16.2%)
Louis Theroux: America's Most Dangerous Pets: 2.2m (8%)

Not great for The Cube.

This is very true - with final figures Saturday is comparable to Sundays.
Fact that there both down on last year is bad but overall they are still pulling phenomenal ratings.

Yes, very low for The Cube there. About 1 million down on where it was this time last year and lower rating than every single episode that aired in Q4 2010.

Any chance we can limit the XF/SCD ratings to perhaps...2 pages today? reading through a good 30 over the weekend of the same old is slightly ardious.
There were 9 pages since yesterday and there wasn't even any new ratings to talk about heh.

But this is preposterous! It has set a new high for the live shows at this point in the series 3 years running now.

To recap: In 2009 that was 13.9m, in 2010 it was 13.8m and on Sunday it was about 12m maybe lower excluding +1!

It did exactly what was expected by hitting a new high at this point. Doesn't make it a particularly great rating for the show's standards, and doesn't mean the ratings generally won't be of concern to ITV.

I doubt they are concerned with these sunday ratings.

The X Factor is down on previous years but still the top rated show. The bigger question is what does that say for the shows behind it?

Oh and it won't be axed either. God help us!

A huge peak audience of 14.2 million viewers (12.2 m average) (inc ITVHD & +1) watched Sunday night's @TheXFactor.

Source: ITV Press Centre

I doubt they are concerned with these sunday ratings.
Advertisers (and probably ITV) were expecting a ratings drop of -10% this year for The X Factor, according to an article the other week. Yesterday's episode was down -12% so it's still outside the range they were expecting.

I think ITV/Syco, if anything, will be relieved with Sunday's rating in the context of this series. There'd been a downward momentum for 3 weeks in a row, so it was the first episode to actually go back up w-o-w in a while, finally. Also the gap between Sunday's rating and the equivalent episode last year was the smallest for 5 episodes. So in terms of clawing back momentum, they did manage to do that on Sunday, but of course with Bonfire night coming up, it might go back to another weekly drop for the next episode!

I'm just bored of the spin now. It astounds me that the camp on here that maintain it is doing fantastically every time there's a rise can't see how their reasoning is as flawed as the tabloid journalists that claim it's in crisis. Both as bad as eachother!

Bonfire night is on Saturday!
But with no TXF/SCD clash X Factor won't be thrashed by 3 million at the start.

14.2 million peak audience for Sunday's #xfactor on ITV1 (13.8m excl +1). By far biggest audience on TV over the weekend.

12.2 Million Average (Inc HD/+1)
