Paul Merton seems to have under preformed for C5 this series.

With the exception of The Impressions Show, a good night for BBC1. Regardless of any drop for Frozen Planet, 7 million is still a brilliant figure for any factual/wildlife programme and it will timeshift to probably near 10 million so these figures are still fantastic for BBC One. Waterloo Road was back to solid numbers for BBC1, although I think they would have liked to see it above 5 million.
ITV1 didn't do too badly, I'm surprised The Jury didn't drop below 4 million. Okay, it was beaten by Millionaire but it held up better than I was anticipating. This week's stripped episodes will still all timeshift to above 5 million so the slot average will look nice in the officials. The Millionaire specials appear to be working anywhere in the schedules, Saturday nights, Fridays at 9pm, Wednesdays at 8pm. Which is good for them, I wonder how long before they introduce normal editions live? Masterchef did well on BBC2, while Grand Designs was dented heavily by Frozen Planet. Big Brother did okay on Channel 5, but I doubt there will be any partying at C5 HQ when the overnights for Friday's final come in. |

Another fantastic audience for Frozen Planet. Waterloo Road holding up well too considering it just feels like there's no effort being put in the show nowadays-they aren't even playing it for laughs anymore. It's just dire. It has showed that with weak competition there's an audience of ~5m, but as soon as something strong comes along it collapses.
Solid 4m+ night for ITV1 and I don't think they could have asked for much more really. I did think The Jury would be sub 4m. |

It really has. Last night's ridiculously low 0.7 is a far cry from the 1.8 that tuned into the series opener. I knew Frozen Planet would cause some damage, but I didn't expect the effects to be fatal.

ITV1 starts its killer three weeks when IAC starts on Sunday. Should this show do well again, then the BBC will find it hard work on weekday nights as it will follow ITV's two big soaps. However, like the outcome of a football match, you can't predict IAC's ratings in advance, but I said last night, anything from 7 million to 11 million is possible.
Should it do well, then ITV will be very happy as it has two huge entertainment hits to live off for three weeks, the other being TXF, which is still doing well regardless. However, should IAC start to falter, then questions must be asked about the future of Ant and Dec and if this partnership going back over 20 years is coming to an end. |

I have a feeling IAC could falter this series .That line up doesn't seem to be creating much of a buzz at the moment.

Someone remarked on my comment regarding The Jury's performance on Tuesday night - I'd argue it held up well because of the much smaller lead in; the loss of interest as it wasn't the first episode and the fact it clashed with a similar genre show on BBC One and Channel 5 (whereas it had a reality show and a documentary opposite it on Monday). With it being in the flop zone slot it could've into the 3ms. It's not impressive or brilliant but it'll do, and last night's performance should mean it retains it's audience for the next couple of nights with a Coronation Street lead in. I understand where Robbie's coming from when he pondered aloud about You've Been Framed and Who Wants To Be A Millionnaire being moved to Tuesday's. I don't think You've Been Framed would do well opposite EastEnders though. Waterloo Road did well with the lack of soap (er, sorry, continuing drama) opposition. The half hour slot from 8.30pm is difficult for BBC One to fill. Maybe they'll try out some 90 minute dramas once Frozen Planet has finished? Frozen Planet performed brilliantly once again last night. Grand Designs seems to have been hurt by the tougher opposition from ITV1, but it still offered a decent lead in which Fresh Meat threw away. Big Brother didn't seem to be too effected by the muck up relating to the start time but Paul Merton isn't doing as well this series. Lost War Heroes is performing as well as it could considering the difficulty of the slot. BBC Two had a decent night with MasterChef especially putting in a performance which leads to further questions about BBC One's treatment of the main show. The Only Way Is Essex did very well for ITV2. |

Over on Channel 4 it is slightly ridiculous that they went from just over 2 million for Grand Designs to about 800k for Fresh Meat.

And ITV can be pleased enough with The Jury too. After a very steep landing yesterday, at least it's hit upon a respectable enough level that should be sustained for the week. Not a big hit, in the scheme of things, but alright.
Nothing of note for BBC Two, while Grand Designs has fallen quite substantially with tougher opposition on C4. Just 2m - wasn't it over 3 at the start of the run? Troubling. Re: Grand Designs - they're in their "revisit" stage now which usually do attract fewer viewers. Quote:

As with more of these stripped dramas I don't think it'll cause ITV a massive headache if it doesn't perform - they're generally one-offs anyway, although obviously if it was a hit it would be easy enough to spin a second series. **yes, i do

The Masterchef scheduling is an absolute joke - three versions of it airing in completely different slots in different strategies, and the BBC2 scheduling seems the messiest of them all. They should have left it in it's nice and simply 6.30pm slot rather than start commissioning 45 minute episodes and then splitting them into 30 and 60 minute slots as they see fit. |

I don't get why it hasn't been reworked into either a weekly show with 10-13 episodes at 8pm or even twice weekly. It seems the BBC want Masterchef in primetime but don't want to make the changes to do so.

Intriguing to see the final figures for the first series of The Jury, which was shown on six Sunday nights in February/March 2002.
Episode 1 8.01m Episode 2 6.85m Episode 3 5.83m Episode 4 5.22m Episode 5 4.99m Episode 6 5.35m The six episodes averaged out at six million, but there was a very steep drop after Episode 1, and again after Episode 2. If Series Two holds steady for the last two episodes, then it has a good chance of averaging a similar number with timeshift (and ITV1+1) included. |

Some official ratings from MattJ.
Episode 2 of Frozen Planet was watched by 9.72m and episode 2 of Death In Paradise was watched by 6.48m. A great rating for Frozen Planet and Death In Paradise held up very well. The rating for the latter confirms for me that had it gone out in before The Body Farm it would have averaged 6m across the series. |

Friday's Hollyoaks will be "first look" because E4's episode today was a companion story to the love triangle. (SPOILER attached).

Big Brother held up surprisingly well last night but it's still quite a bit down on its latter day C4 figures, let's not even look at the show's hey day as that paints an even more depressing picture.
Good for Frozen Planet. |

Excellent timeshift of about 1.8m then for Frozen Planet. 9.72m is much higher than I was expecting. I wonder how it will cope with IAC next week.

DIY SOS ought beat The Jury tonight by 1m or so. Can see CS winning the night, but EE was exceptional and deserves a 9m rating. Hope Life's Too Short rates well on BBC2/HD.

I think Hugh would rather leave House behind and just concentrate on his music as well doing the odd TV series or film. I read that he found it quite hard to adjust as he was living on his own in LA while his family were in London but I think that may have changed, Given how much he gets from House, not just from his salary per episode but also residuals from syndication, he could easily retire and move back to the UK but I imagine he'll still do films and television.

That NBC was only down 6% is a sign of how awful it was last year as well.

Meanwhile, Simon Cowell has another vacancy to fill. Piers Morgan is leaving America’s Got Talent to focus on his CNN show. He has been with the show since it began in 2006 and now leaves the show with none of the original on-screen talent. Seems that Sharon Osbourne, Howie Mandel and Nick Cannon will be back. No word on a replacement. Maybe they'll actually hire an American?!
Howard Stern is currently leading the pack according to the Wall Street Journal. Although I'm fairly sure they were also reporting that he was going to replace Simon Cowell on American Idol and we all know how that turned out.

That's a fantastic final figure for Frozen Planet. What's that a time shift of nearly 2 million?
Exact figures is 1.79m. |
