Another record low from Five on Friday night primetime. Twice in one week. BB has really screwed them up big time. 2.1% primetime share.

Strictly did seem to have alot more energy and buzz in it tonight, a smart move by the BBC.
They need to think EVEN Bigger next year and have the Final at the 02

I bet you wish you didn't slate Channel 5 so much on the nights it did averagely/quite well now. It makes your post above look much less effective than it otherwise could have been. It's just a typical post from you. :yawn:

I think they will do well tonight with the Ken Dodd Audience. Rather ironic as it is often shown on ITV3.

Five has gone from a regular 4-5% primetime share performer to one that lurches dramatically from highs to record lows. What has changed apart from the introduction of Big Brother?

I will say this though: the past week makes a mockery of mlt11's suggestion that Channel 5 can get by on a 4% audience share with cheap as chips programmes just because of it's EPG position. Yeah, right.

How was BB responsible for Vacancy flopping against I'm a celeb/CIN?
Is it also responsible for Daybreak ?Quote:
The opposition perhaps? The strength of which was pretty extraordinary on both Wednesday and Friday.

Five used to be the home of a US procedural or a decent movie every night at 9pm. Now its pot luck what you get so they have alienated their core audience by messing around with their schedule. Although in fairness Vacancy is an awful movie and should never have been put in a 9pm by any sane scheduler.
Reluctantly I would go along with the first bit to a degree. Although the Channel 5 schedule hasn't been as fixed as you suggest for several years, so that part's baloney. But basically in trying to broaden their audience there is no clear target any more due to the increasingly diverse schedule and so on very tough nights like last night where BBC One and ITV1 combined are mopping up an abnormally high percentage of the audience, they lose out. Thankfully for them, nights like last night are a 3 per year event, if that. |

it's probably not worthy of two high-profile leads
Sometimes though, as in BBC1 scheduling against The X Factor final-final or Channel 4 scheduling against X Factor on a Saturday night, a TV channel just accepts it's not worth making a big effort against the highest rated programmes on the telly.It would seem though that the champions at provided good alternatives to some of the big-hitters is ITV3 with their posh drama. Great ratings for Lewis. |

Channel 5's low brow tacky programming isn't doing much for the ratings then, I bet that sort of stuff would have rated better on ITV2, a bit embarassing to be beaten by no doubt the millionth repeat of Lewis on ITV3!

So how did Five do last year on CiN Friday against the exact same line up on BBC1 & ITV1 - better, worse, same???
Hardly comparable though given first run Mentalist has switched nights, a fundamental difference compared to last year. The effects of that would far outweigh any losses caused by alienated viewers following BB's three month stint in (mostly) the 10pm slot. |

TBH it reminds me of ITV1 around 2003-04 - Five isn't appointment to view tv for most people and it cant afford to annoy the viewers for which it has been in the way it has been doing lately |

Live trial on I'm a Celeb tomorrow, that's usually good for some high ratings.

Strictly won't have had that much of a bigger budget this week than usual - costs were covered by ticket sales, profit going to Children in Need, so a relatively cheap arena spectacular for BBC1.
I don't think the results should ever be on a Sunday. It works for X Factor, but I've never felt it works for Strictly, all the momentum is lost and the Sunday show is not event TV. Maybe if it was live and they brought back the dance-off, it might work, but otherwise I think it should return to Saturday nights. |

Glad we've finally got some ratings. I've been kicked out to the computer room because I kept asking "Who's that?" during I'm a Celeb.
