Good. Lenny Henry was dreadful last time and McMullen has much more of a personality on Minute To Win It. Hopefully they don't make him dull on Magicians though.
I was amazed that shows ratings managed to hold so steady considering the million and one things wrong with it. They ought to use this opportunity to go back to the drawing board and come back with something that doesn't rely on z-list celebrities and 1990's production values. |

A bit more like it from Big Brother last night. It looks like the tactic of keeping the eviction announcement for the 11pm show paid off, hitting a new high in that timeslot. I don't think they should do it again however- it made sense last night given the result.

Does anyone know how Spy on Sky1 did? It was good stuff
Should get around 1m in the officials. There's a Sunday teatime repeat at 5.30pm. Very positive reaction all round. Looking forward to watching it. |

I think Maybe if it Does get another Series maybe ITV could put it in Doc Martin's slot next year.
DCI did well last night, I'd be surprised if it wasn't recommissioned BB holding up well, deservedly so, it has been a good series so far IMO |

That's a better performance from Big Brother, but I think they need to forgo a couple of big evictions as it were to get rid of minor characters - I can name at least three HMs who I don't see the point of now from an entertainment point of view. Also, while it was up on previous weeks, it was seemingly in fifth place between 9-9.30pm which is probably not what Channel 5 were looking for when they bought the show.
ITV1 will be happy with their evening - DCI Banks did well and Wild Britain held up opposite EastEnders. Have I Got News For You isn't the show it was but it still did ok; Would I Lie For You? held up but did little more. The Comic Strip Presents did well and may have hurt BBC One.Autumnwatch performed well for BBC Two. |

The second Coronation Street seems low. The first episode, EastEnders and Emmerdale did ok. It'll be interesting to see how Hollyoaks does next week but that's a strong First Look figure for it on E4. The teatime soaps seem to be seeing a boost now the nights are closing in.

Just as everyone predicted when Charlie's Angels was announced. Another flop for C4 to burn off then - just as everyone predicted too.

First step in the right direction. And nice to see a face that isn't totally saturated.

Channel 4 may not have to air it. There should be a clause in their contract for the show that allows them to get out of it if the 13 episode order isn't produced.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clubhouse_%28TV_series%29 I may actually be the only person who saw that show in the UK, and ive read the book it was based on. |

On a different note moving the ECL to a Tuesday on ITV1 will give the station something to shout about in the ratings. |

Well, Charnham, until ITV rearranged their Champions League contract, it was a given that the soap would be shown at 7.30 on Wednesdays. I am pleased it is going back to its traditional slot next June as it seems ITV1 falter in this slot now when there's no football. Also I would suggest axeing the extra Friday episode and the pointless Saturday omnibus, which achieves zilch in the ratings.

Overkill, laddie, 5 episodes a week is too much. I think once ITV1 move the veteran soap back to Wednesdays, the extra Friday episode should go. 8.30 on Fridays always meant light entertainment. Maybe ITV1 might consider reviving something like Play Your Cards Right or comedy for this slot.
Also RIP Betty Driver, she came from an era when Coronation St was worth watching. And RIP Betty. You will be sorely missed on Coronation Street. |

It should be reduced to four nights a week: Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 7.30pm brings a nice consistency (all at 7.30pm, two day gap between each episode, gives opportunity for momentum to build nicely through the week).
And RIP Betty. You will be sorely missed on Coronation Street. |

Are there any unclaimed shows out there which E4 could possibly fill 22 hours with next year? |

I concur, this was the line up the show successfully had 10 years ago. I can see where Samthefootball is coming from in his post about the extra episodes getting 7-8 milion viewers, but how about this for a curved ball for next year? Maybe slot the extra XF episode into Fridays from 8.30 to 10.00 and move Coronation St back to a Sunday.

Obviously not going to happen though. UK buyers are just not interested in Australia's ever popular family drama. |

I was trying to find the same day last year's ratings (which I'll post below) when I came across this post from rzt... http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showp...postcount=2379 Quote:
Drama Am I right in saying the highlighted have yet to air?- Angels of the North: currently unknown, "made by Life on Mars creators" - Kidnap and Ransom: 3x60' thriller - Injustice: 5x60' legal thriller - Monroe: 6x60' medical - Point of Rescue: 2x60' crime - Scott and Bailey: 6x60' crime - The Oaks: 5x60' supernatural thriller - The Reckoning: 2x60' thriller - The Suspicions of Mr Whicher: 1x120' crime - Vera: 4x120' murder mystery Factual - Caroline Quenton: Passage to India - London Zoo - Long Lost Family - Joanna Lumley's Greek Odyssey - Martin Clunes: Man to Manta - Perspectives (Documentary strand) - Strangeways (follow up to Wormwood Scrubs) - The Biggest Loser - The Dales - Trevor McDonald's Secret Mediterranean On the same day last year, the soaps had 6.7m, 8.4m, 8.5m and 8.7m (time order) - so there's a few drops year-on-year. |

I like your idea about a X Factor on Friday Glenn. If there are going to be 16 in the Live shows again they could do same as Strictly. Half on Friday and half on Saturday
