Er it says quite the opposite to Fudds argument, which is that the BBC shouldn't be doing a large scale entertainment show like The Voice.
The board want to to maintain the spend on on big landmark and 'event' entertainment programming like Strictly, Comic Relief and C.I.N and keep it up to date. They actually recommend cuts in 'Non event' Entertainment shows like the cheap 5.30pm Saturday night gameshows and panel shows that have lower impact. Just to clarify (though I think you realise this from your OP) - I'm against the BBC broadcasting large entertainment programmes...I just don't think The Voice is the right one for the channel. |

Seeing that it is now airing a bit later in the evening. I guess it can be said it's (Merlin) not doing quite as well as last year (at least as far as the overnights are concerned).
After 3 episodes: 6.76m (2011) 6.26m (2010) |

So they're basically saying Don't Scare the Hare and Hole In the Wall are surplus to requirements...I guess that makes sense!

The board want to maintain the spend on on big landmark and 'event' entertainment programming like Strictly, Comic Relief and C.I.N and to make shows similar with the same ambition and scale. They actually recommend cuts in 'Non event' Entertainment shows like the cheap 5.30pm Saturday night gameshows and panel shows that have a lower impact. What I was drawing to attention was that DQF lists 5 overall priorities which are described as "the heart of the BBC", none of which is entertainment. One of the 5 is "UK drama and comedy" which some may consider to be a subset of entertainment (though the document is written in a way that deals with them separately). One of the 5 is "coverage of events of national importance". I doubt that the likes of SCD and The Voice come within that definition but no doubt you will correct me if I am wrong. The document then goes on to refer to cuts in sport and entertainment with the clear implication that those areas are lower priority than the 5 areas mentioned in the previous paragraph. The decision has then been taken that in order to achieve the necessary cuts in entertainment (as a whole) there will be "reductions in entertainment programmes which have lower impact than the big events on BBC One, as well as some entertainment on BBC Two" (11/57). So yes, "landmark" and "event" entertainment is being protected but the point I was making (or attempting to make ) stands - entertainment is not one of the 5 overall priorities.

According to The Sun, Strictly beat X factor in the ratings on Saturday.
Strictly: peak 11m, average 9.5m X Factor: peak 9.6m, average 8.8m Can anyone tell me which cunning technique The Sun has used to manipulate X Factor's ratings? Or are they just plucking random figures out of the air?

A couple of tweets:
With my rubbish quick maths X Factor got 11.1m average last night (not including +1) and and a 12.3m peak. But I only got a B at Maths GSCE. Strictly keeps going from strength to strength. The results show peaked at 10.1m last night, when Rory Bremner exited the show. Spooks ended last night with 5.13m (18.4%). Sources: Broadcast, dsrealitybites |

13.5 million peak audience (13.3 million excl +1) for #XFactor. That's over 3m more than any other show on TV last night.
Huge 6.7 million peak audience for the #RWC2011 Final - 52% share of viewing at 10.40am. Source: James Macleod |

Same peak as last week so it isn't dropping at least. The same show last year had a 5 minute peak of 15.0m (down from 15.2m the previous week) so the peak is -10% down on last year.
Awesome peak for the RWC. Spools did well for its finale and probably dented Downton a bit. |
