The thing about The Bill was that even when it first went twice a week, the show was always about dealing with crime. You never saw it from the criminal's viewpoint and rarely saw the officer's private lives.
It was on twice a week like a soap but wasn't really like a soap back then. More like a half hour police drama. When it got more soapy it lost its edge for me. Losing great characters like Tosh Lines, Roach, Dashwood and Burnside didn't help either. The half-hour era is my favourite era of The Bill and I enjoy watching old eps on YouTube with Burnside et al as well as the ones without Burnside. As regards to The X Factor USA, how is it doing in the USA? |

For those of us old enough to remember Z Cars was probably the first police drama that dealt with the private lives of coppers - I remember there was one about a policeman assaulting his wife, cutting edge stuff at the time
Even earlier we occasionally used to see PC Dixon (Dock Green) at home but it was usually an anodyne chat over a cuppa. How things have moved on.

CW's new dramas, The Secret Circle and Hart of Dixie received a back 9 episode order for a full season, alongside Ringer. The Secret Circle was expected, but was quite surprised at Hart of Dixie. I thought CW was going to wait a few weeks before making any decisions about Hart of Dixie.

Isnt FOX airing one or two episodes on Tuesdays in place of Glee, New Girl and Raising Hope, must be difficult as The X Factor has to finish by December. Series 2 should air in August or early September to get a head start,

Apparently it is running as normal In Canada. Fox have provisionally announced that the missing episode will air Sunday but that could be delayed again if there is another Baseball game.

It is very rare that The CW don't order a back 9 for their new fall dramas. The only one I can remember that they didn't was The Beautiful People but its entirely possible I'm forgetting something. Basically the fact that they have very little on the bench for midseason locks them into picking this stuff up.

Don't know why they would have picked Tracy Emin, she was bound to get low rarings, so what if she had afamily of petty criminals and an ancient gypsy family in her background it was hardly the most exciting of eps.
I see the BBC has succeded in driving the Xfactor back to 8oclock, ITV shouldn't have tried an earlier land grab so to speak in the first place.. |

Looks like the hour long Emmerdale dented Waterloo Road. ITV are doing a good job of keeping it in check this series after a run of 5 million + ratings last series. I don't think Waterloo Road will go any higher than 4.5m this series now, even without soap competition. Interesting times ahead with the Scotland move coming up.
ps: where are ITV getting all these extra soap episodes from?! There's another Corrie down on Wednesday at 19:30 in 2 weeks time according to digiguide.tv |

Barely 5m for a brand new Midsomer Murders, in autumn, with an hour long EmFm lead in, and against BBC1 opposition attracting 3-4m viewers only?

Waterloo Road is being damaged a lot this series by the random extra soap episodes. Emmerdale would probably have been over 7m without WR too, but WR is being damaged more down over 1m on last series. It doesn't help that the quality is awful-nothing is going on, the new child actors are awful & the new teachers are bland. I reckon we'll be seeing the end of Waterloo Road come the end of next year when the Scottish show begins.
Decent for Midsomer & Soho Blues performed a bit better after flopping on Mondays. |

Difficult night for BBC One, with Emmerdale obviously throwing a spanner in the works for Waterloo Road. Wednesdays are turning into a bit of a problem once again - when Waterloo Road struggles, they're left with an awkward slot at 8.30 and an abandoned old staple fading at 9pm. This is why I'm not holding out too much hope for Frozen Planet, to be honest. It just doesn't have the support in the schedule. It might muster a decent opening sample from all the publicity, but the viewers will fade away over 7 weeks.
Channel 4's property double is about the only thing working really well for the channel just at the moment, and has offered them some welcome relief in the middle of the week. But Fresh Meat has still found the going tough - they just can't seem to get a scripted show to cut through. |

I notice ITV are creeping up the number of soap episodes per week - Corrie has another 6 episode week coming up ... god help us if they permanently up the soaps any more.
