... And lo and behold, the match finished at 7.05pm, as I said it would earlier.
I don't think SCD's average will be dented by much, it's only 10 minutes of its 115 minute broadcast overall. Plus, I suspect starting at 6.55pm will give it a bigger starting base level, even against the footy, than when its episodes were starting at 6.15-6.30pm against weak competition. As I type, they're only just going off the air! |

So will TV Burp start on time? or should I put a recorder on Merlin just incase?

On the RPG - players have gone from 9.0m to 10.6m for SCD, for TXF the range is 9.7m to 10.5m. I was quite optimistic and went for 10.3m for each show. England beat Spain 1-0, the match wasn't that good really - can see viewers switching off in droves once that whistle went. You've Been Framed will be squeezed and can see TV Burp dropping on last week. The X Factor hype (yawn!) ought see more viewers tuning in this week.

Indeed only Shipwrecked survives from the desert island/ jungle era of reality shows from ten years ago, but this has been cancelled twice and barely figures on the ratings radar, yet someone in Channel 4 must like it to keep coming back.
Think about the other shows of a similar format I'm A Celeb has seen off- Castaway had a revival in 2007 that no one watched, Survivor ended as it started and was never recommissioned, Celebrity Love Island was a disaster that even a name change couldn't save, When Women Rule The World tanked on Channel 4 and 71 Degrees North was seen as a cynical rip off with snow. IAC survives due to its likeable hosts, 90 minute running time that has never been exceeded, celebs for all age groups and challenges that are quite funny. I'm not a big fan, but will watch if nothing else is on. |

YBF started 4 minutes late. If this persists for the rest of ITV1's night then X Factor conveniently avoids an overlap with Strictly.

that is fine, they shouldn't clash with Merlin at all then (TV Burp always finishes early, and Merlin is on 5 minutes afterwards anyways)

Or possibly some female TV executives who like to see some young male hunks with their shirts off. |

The first dance on Strictly started about 20 seconds before the final whistle so they had a decent amount of padding to avoid the gameplay. England hanging on at the end will have produced a very useful peak I would have thought.
Certainly we will learn tonight whether all the behind the scenes shinannagans have had the desired effect for XF. EDIT: Wikipedia says M and N did appear on the last show just in case anyone was worried. |

Episode 2 of Frozen Planet posted another stunning AI figure of 94.5 out of 100. About as good as it gets for a show on terrestrial TV.
Meanwhile at the bottom of the index, Friday 4th November's scintillating edition of Daybreak (67) was robbed of its usual place as the least appreciated broadcast of the week thanks to the ill advised wealth flaunting on display in Channel 5's Tamara (63.7). |

Speaking of talent/reality/LE shows, was it ever true, as Hughie Green was keen on telling people, that Opportunity Knocks had 26 million viewers in 1976? I did see a rating for the final series in the Daily Mirror that stated 18.3 million were watching, which is still excellent, but was Mr Starmaker trying to up his ratings to tell the world how beastly Thames was for sacking him?

That said, Tamara's at least had a positive critical reaction. The Guardian called it "fabulous television", so I could see her show staying about the same or even increasing this week in a BB finale night sandwich.

The highest "homes" rating is 8.6 million in 1974 and I have no idea how you convert that into millions but Im pretty sure its not 26 million. EDIT-Wikipedia says that M and N did appear on the last show just in case anyone is interested 33 years on. |

Oh dear, technical problems on ITV mean they're currently airing a few auditions as TXF seems to have been delayed.

What's the chances they're fixed once Strictly finishes.

Ouch. That's going to hurt in the morning.
It's more ITV2 filler than primetime ITV1, repeating "best of" auditions.

The latest stunt to try and grab rating is actually not showing anything at all, innovative.

Pretty certain Strictly will win tonight, given that ITV1 now appears to be in filler mode for the next 5 minutes.
