Super for Hollyoaks last night on E4. 71 Degrees North is almost certainly heading for the dustbin.

I think you'll find men can be quite receptive to watching incredibly sexy women in skimpy costumes shaking their booty. ( Especially if the alternativ e is watching Louis Walsh
)

Remember these are based on the overnights. A lot of the 'young' would have switched to X Factor.
Of course, the timeshifters of Merlin will be skewed to younger viewers..
Hmmm...
looks like most of the Merlin viewers are probably old enough to be his contempories
Jake Humprey takes ratings peak spinning to a new high
Why does an F1 race peak 1 hour and 5 minutes in? Was there a crash? As Homer Simpson says, you never leave the air show before the crash.

The race did not start at 8:30am. That was the start of the race coverage, so pre-race stuff from the BBC F1 team. The race actually started at around 9:30am/9:35am, thus the peak.

A routine, "post clinching of Championship", and rather dull if truth be told, race and it peaks at nearly 6m on a Sunday morning - comparable to a home nation in the semi final of a World Cup!

In terms of the one off Waterloo Rd, it's not the shaking booty 11m are tuning in for...

Indeed. Makes you wonder what the Brazilian Grand Prix will get in a couple of weeks time in early evening/primetime BBC1. Could we be on for an 6/7 million average, maybe a 8 million peak?

Why? It's only what ITV's twitter-spinner in chief does with his "ITV1 plus ITV1+1" combined peaks....

Also worth noting that the race finished at 11.05am but the BBC1 coverage continued until noon.
So with the early 8.30am start to the build up, that 4.1m all morning average is pretty spectacular really. The race presumably held a good "low to mid 5's" million figure throughout.

so people switch off as soon as it starts - weird sport.

Because the big stories aren't so big if you run them every day of the week 52 weeks a year. There has to be a natural ebb and flow with the soaps and that will be reflected (to some degree) in their numbers.
Any ITV insiders on here with tidbits from the first of the ITV Roadshows yesterday?

“ITV’s senior management are to update staff on the company’s five-year transformation plan.
Chief executive Adam Crozier will lead three sessions with staff around the country, bringing them up to date with the progress ITV is making in diversifying its revenue streams.
The ITV Roadshow, as it has been branded internally, kicks off in London today and will journey to the broadcaster’s other hubs in Manchester and Leeds next week. A similar initiative took place last year.
The majority of senior management will attend, including managing director of commercial and online Fru Hazlitt and Kevin Lygo, managing director of ITV Studios. Staff will be given the opportunity to ask them questions.
Crozier is expected to tell employees that it is making good progress with its transformation plan, which was designed to fix areas of ITV – such as its online offering - strengthen and grow the company and accelerate into new areas of growth.
In an interview with the RTS magazine earlier this year the former Royal Mail boss said there were “green shoots” across the broadcaster, including its pay TV strategy and online.”

Wasn't it Shakespeare who was supposed to have said there are only about five basic story lines. The EE scriptwriters have certainly had their money's worth from him over the years. I don't think he ever had a play about DNA testing though did he ?
Hollyoaks' renaissance continues then. It's been a remarkable turnaround really considering where we were just 6 months ago. My number of the day would be the 1.41m that sneaked a peek at tonight's Channel 4 episode- seriously impressive. Coupled with its strong demos not far off Emmerdale now amongst 16-34s (ahead if you include C4), the soap looks to be in very good health indeed. Hopefully it can keep the momentum going when the current serial killer storyline reaches its conclusion.
Death in Paradise enjoyed extremely strong retention week-on-week, the BBC's star performer of the night. Obviously it's not been seriously tested yet though, and that will come next week with The Jury. So far so good though as they say, this one could be a keeper. 71 Degrees North meanwhile recovered a bit for its finale, but I doubt it'll be enough to save it. Given the slide from series 1 to series 2 and the very unattractive audience profile despite two presenters you'd expect to be popular with younger viewers, it'd be difficult to make a case for another series I would think.
Good night for Channel 4 with Baby Hospital and Jamie Oliver capitalising on the usual ITV1 horror show. Channel 5 had a poor night, but a bit early to be declaring it the new FlopZone I would suggest. It seems at the moment at least to be one or two specific programme titles that are causing the problem, i.e. Superior Interiors which wasn't the hit expected, and more pertinently CSI: Miami which is experiencing serious decline akin to what we've seen in other markets, perhaps exacerbated by the recent success of Death in Paradise and before that The Body Farm. So a bit different to the ITV1 situation where we've seen new show after new show after new show fail just about. 5 will need to be savvy in the acquisitions market over the next 12 months, that's for sure. They've been surprisingly quiet on that front this year with the exception of Alphas.

It perhaps isn't that surprising that for casual motor sport watchers the start is the most compelling bit of the spectacle...
(Actually, for those committed F1 fans amongst us, it's often the only compelling bit!)
You, of course, know all this perfectly well, George .
Perhaps you think it weird that in cup football matches (the sort of thing your lot are constantly buying up the rights for), the penalty shoot out at the end always out-peaks the rest of the game? All that footballing talent on display, and folk only tune in for the spot kicks at the end - weird sport...
US Ratings Tuesday October 1
CBS cruised to victory on Tuesday night in both the demo and total viewers despite a down night across the network. NCIS topped the night despite dropping two tenths on last week and despite the drop it still managed to be an entire point ahead of Glee in the demo.
Over on Fox there was something of a World Series hangover with Glee, New Girl and Raising Hope all down substantially from their last Tuesday originals with New Girl hitting a series low. The big concern will probably be Glee under a 3 though. They’ll be hoping for big rebounds in the coming weeks and with a run of uninterrupted originals (7 I think) ahead of them they should get them.
Elsewhere without The X Factor on Fox The Biggest Loser rebounded nicely for NBC it was up 15% across the two-hour slot. Parenthood was also up at 10PM and despite having roughly half the total viewers of Unforgettable was just a tenth behind it (that’s an indication of how young NBC skews or how old CBS skews depending on how you want to look at it). ABC had a mixed night. The 8PM comedy block dropped again but Dancing with the Stars and Body of Proof were both up vs. last week. The Dancing Results show equalled Monday night’s performance show in the demo and I’ve never seen that happen before (outside of a final maybe). I would however caution fans of Body of Proof to wait for finals before they get too excited about that 2.0 at 10PM.

Totally agree. The previous layout was simple and easy to use, less is more as they say. The new design is far too cluttered and hard to find anything. Another example of people having too much time and money on their hands and making something worse because of it.

I'm not a F1 fan - never have been. Dont see the attraction, but would have expected the peak to be at the end to see who won.

I think Unforgettable should be picked up as a companion to The Mentalist and with the show returning to Thursdays. They also have Dallas but that won't air until August 2012 at the earliest. Think with comedy making a comeback, they should seriously consider making Fridays a comedy/entertainment night.
As for US ratings, FOX should consider either starting their shows earlier in September as the baseball hurts momentum.

I'd be surprised if Dallas does very big numbers. For the last few years in the UK before it was eventually axed, it rated poorly. I think it was of its time in the early 80's.
