I imagine ITV Studios will be disappointed, Anderson is doing okay but the syndication market is competitive, funny how Judge Judy is number 1.
Its hard to really know what they were expecting with Jeremy Kyle in the US. I suspect the show is cheap enough to produce that they'll stick with it for a couple of years to see if it can find and grow an audience. In the grand scheme of things I don't think that .5 is terrible for a complete unknown launching a new talk show in an incredibly crowded and competitive market. |

ITV2 have replaced The X Factor USA tonight with Simon Cowell Uncut: Life Stories at 8 and Harry Hill's TV Burp at 9:30pm.

Judge Judy has been number 1 for a while now. That show is insanely popular and she gets millions for what amounts to a couple of days work per year.

Anderson seems be doing okay, TBH he would have the last person I thought would do a talk show especially with his CNN show and 60 Minutes commitments, I think at one point CBS wanted him to replace Katie Couric. |

I think it's an 8 parter, so it wouldn't have fit in before Christmas if they'd waited for that. Also, even when Downton is over, that 9pm Sunday slot will likely remain quite awkward for the BBC. ITV will have XF-fuelled I'm A Celebrity and then when you get into December you could find a jumbo-sized XF finale going past 9pm, and potentially a Downton Christmas Special. That'd be a pretty turbulent start for a new drama.
It sounds like the BBC will be sending in Garrow's Law again to do its usual business against all of that - and have decided to keep their bigger autumn swings (Frozen Planet, Death in Paradise) well clear. Not a bad idea, all said and done. Young Herriot it likely to make an appearance during November. I'd suggest that you may see that on Sundays (3 Parts) |

The extra ITV soap episodes really suggests to me that I'm a Celebrity is being extended - in some way as there's no reason for the extra episodes.
I've given up on Waterloo Road, the characters don't really interest me to be honest this series. EDIT: itvfootball England will play Sweden in a friendly at Wembley on Tues 15 November, three days after they take on Spain 1 minute ago I wonder if that puts into question the I'm a Celebrity date launch, would they really launch it on the Sunday onto to take a day break 2 days later? |

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
As for Emmerdale, its two extra episodes on Wednesday (one last week and one this week) could also be due to I'm a Celebrity. I expect during IAC's final week, Emmerdale's Thursday 20.00 episode will be dropped due to a schedule of: 19.00- Emmerdale, 19.30- Tonight, 20.00- Corrie, 20.30- IAC. It's possible also that the penulimate Thursday of IAC will also be an extended 20.30-22.00 episode, therefore Emmerdale could be dropped that night too. Hence the two extra Wednesday episodes. |

Ouch for Waterloo Road. The quality in this series has been dire and I much preferred the previous run. The new characters are quite bland and the storylines aren't engaging. I think WR is seriously missing Karen Fisher (Amanda Burton) and I think the new head (dunno what his name is) isn't a natural head teacher. The show is lacking an edge unfortunately, exacerbated by the loss of key characters in the last run like Chris Mead, Karen Fisher etc.
They seem to be taking the viewers for granted a bit (and soon taking them for a ride with the forthcoming relocation of the entire show from Rochdale to Scotland!) There have been some serious miscalculations with what was a well loved 4.5 - 5.5 million viewer hit. And with two more series commissioned it must be a bit worrying. |

Does anyone have the exact rating for Emmerdale yesterday please? Was it 6.6 or 6.7 without +1? I thought it was 6.7 but I misread the DS article.

I agree. I know several people who have given up as they felt they were strung along by the Amanda Burton departure. The last episode saw her win the day and gave viewers the impression the new run would start with her fight to stay. Next series starts with a brief mention she has gone part way into the episode and yet another major cast change with characters that so far are less than engaging.

[quote=rzt;53548819]I think the two extra Corrie episodes on Wednesdays (the one a couple of weeks ago and the other one in two weeks' time) are to make up for the two episodes which will be lost during I'm a Celebrity. During IAC's final week, the elimination shows air between 8.30-10pm usually, therefore Corrie will lose two episodes in that week: Monday 20.30 and Friday 20.30.

I expect during IAC's final week, Emmerdale's Thursday 20.00 episode will be dropped due to a schedule of: 19.00- Emmerdale, 19.30- Tonight, 20.00- Corrie, 20.30- IAC.

Hence the two extra Wednesday episodes.[/QUOTE Maybe ITV are praying that IACGMOOH's revival last year continues this year, so are devoting more time to it. Actually November is ITV's big hitting month as DA and TXF are drawing to a climax and IAC averaged 9.8 million last series. |

I have been a big fan of the show since it started but this series has been boring imo and I just dont like the new cast members. The new head is just not likeable like all the previous ones. I'd like to see Denise Welch and Amanda Burton return and they should give Grantly a big storyline. |

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.

Partly because it's in a tough slot. Pretty much everything so far in that 20.30 Wednesday slot has underperformed or flopped. The problem is that lead-in is quite low anyway due to Waterloo Road not being at full strength at the moment, and the BBC News Update in between the two shows gives WR viewers more of an opportunity and time to switch channels (thus the direct lead-in for PD is even lower than the c4m WR is getting atm), and because Planet Dinosaur starts at 8.30pm which is halfway through every other TV show on other channels, it's difficult to lure audiences from those other channels midway through programmes they're already watching.

You raise a good point about Frozen Planet. Generally speaking Wednesdays are quite weak for BBC1 and the way things are at the moment could cause Frozen Planet to take a hit. It's only really Waterloo Road that holds up 4m + audience on pre-watershed Wednesdays and even that is doing poorly at the moment.
Ah yes, that all makes sense. ITV have definitely put them in that Wednesday slot for a reason though. I am thinking they not only want Waterloo Road out of the 19:30 slot but they want it gone completely so they can run their own 8pm drama on Wednesday. I have often wondered what the "90 second update" does to the ratings, there must surely be quite a lot of turn off during it. I don't recall seeing a drop in ratings when it was introduced though. |

Why is Strictly Clashing with X Factor again. Surely BBC Could have moved Strictly to 6:00 and and there would not have been a clash.

The same argument applies to ITV, The X Factor could easily be on from 8:15pm to 10:10pm - it has finished as late as 10:10pm before, hell, in 2008 the results shows didn't finish till nearly 11:00pm!
1 THE X FACTOR (SAT 1925) 11.77 4 THE X FACTOR RESULTS (SAT 2155) 9.98 |

Interesting to see how CBS news shows are not doing well, whereas most of their prime-time shows are winning timeslots and/or having high numbers.

Anyone a bit older who actually cares about character progression and continuity has been annoyed with the show for years. This series with the new unknown cast, poorer child actors and repetative storylines is a step too far. |

It did well when it moved to Wednesdays, on account of the fact that that era of The Bill was very sensationalist and soapy. I prefer it on Tuesdays to be honest. It's suited to Tuesdays and it got good viewing figures.

It is when you strip out the repeat showing on another channel an hour later which has been aggregated into the figure reported above...

well 5.38m on ITV1 including time shift viewing up to 2am plus 258k on ITV1+1 (including time shift viewing up to 2am), so it could be figures for ITV1+1, ITV1+2, ITV1+3, ITV1+4 if you want to be pedantic.

US Early Ratings are in - Wednesday 12 October 2011
The X Factor on Fox was pre-empted by Baseball - last nights episode airs tonight, and tonights will be slotted in on Sunday. Really though rather than simply fast-tracking so have two episodes this week, one next week then none the week after ITV2 might have been better off airing the Judges Homes episodes once a week to carry them through to the live shows in November. |

A good night for ITV1 with Emmerdale propping up the whole night like last Wednesday. Midsomer did decently. Emmerdale has now hurt WR two weeks in a row. And the week before that Corrie damaged it too. And with another extra Corrie soon this could put WR to a series average low. If it's still around next year when Corrie is restored to Wednesday the BBC need to move it to 8pm.
