Are BARB looking into live +7 viewers? And doesn't Nielsen use live +7 or is it something different?
http://www.barb.co.uk/news/bulletins?_s=4 You may find interesting their bulletins. Nielsen in the states do have a 'convergence' panel (both TV and PC) but this isnt US comprehensive, plus the PC and TV measurement techniques are different making putting them together difficult, but interesting nonetheless. |

Well said, ironically viewers glancing quickly at the EPG could have thought Public Enemies was a programme about the guilty parties and switched off anyway. Public Enemies will run fine tomorrow against Mamma Mia (which may get 4.0m) - and a Friday finish will be perfectly acceptable, with Hustle shunted to next week.
The start of Public Enemies will most likely suffer against the hugely popular Mamma Mia. To be honest Public Enemies doesn't look like a ratings winner to me at all. |

I don't mind Masterchef in primetime, but I don't think it should take up 3 x 9pm slots.

Absolutely no reason why BBC1 needed to pull its scheduled programmes tonight/Friday to report something that could easily be covered on the Ten news and a special at 10.35.
The ratings prospects for Public Enemies have just nosedived, The Biggest Loser and Eternal Law and L&O the opposite.... |

Doesn't look great to me either, wish I'd seen a trailer before I'd predicted on it, I think it'll get around 4m come Friday.

Welcome newbie.
EastEnders was the most watched programme on Christmas Day. When 'timeshift' viewers were added on (those who chose to watch it within 7 days of transmission), Downton Abbey overtook it. Eastenders was the MOST WATCHED programme on Christmas Day. Due to timeshift viewers, Downton Abbey has become the most watched Christmas day programme. EE still wins the Christmas Night viewership prize. |

Would I be right in thinking that Panorama was down for 9pm, then moved to 8pm, and then moved back again to 9pm? (Could've sworn that the BBC News site said 20:00 at one point).

Well that was 20 odd pages of pointlessness! Quote:
Note from another forum, Endeavour clocked in at 98 minutes and there were only 4 commercial breaks in the programme. Normally ITV's 120 minute dramas clock in at approx. 88 minutes, so worth bearing in mind.

Countdown, feat. the 8 Out of 10 Cats lot, drew 2.04m (7.8%) - making it the most-watched show of Channel 4 Mash Up night.

The Channel 4 Mash Up did better than I expected - some good figures for C4 there. But a terrible start for The Bank Job, considering it had quite a lot of trails and was supposed to be their next new big live gameshow.

The start of Public Enemies will most likely suffer against the hugely popular Mamma Mia. To be honest Public Enemies doesn't look like a ratings winner to me at all. I'm not sure they would want to knock Masterchef back a week but that takes three consecutive nights from January 17th, so it could go there. Or be rescheduled weekly as I doubt it really needs to be on three nights running. |

Misleading explanation.
I wish we could move on now. I know it's a touchy subject for some that the BBC didn't clean up quite as expected, but the big story of yesterday has now become a big bore! |

According to BARB it hasn't happened in their time which began in 1981.Prior to that there was a different ratings system conducted by JICTAR. I don't think Titanic had even been made in 1980.
Sorry, couldn't resist.

How is it misleading when he clearly stated "within 7 days of transmission" i.e. not Christmas Day.

Even with the schedule change, I don't expect The Biggest Loser to do great, probably 3m to 3.5m given how last year did in the higher profile Monday slot. |

the comedy film starring Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth averaged 5.66m (27.8%) for ITV1 between 7pm and 9.10pm, with a further 350k on +1.
If it is within 1m of the Public Enemies rating, I will be very surprised. My estimates are 4.1m for Mamma Mia and 5.4m for Public Enemies. (Trust me - seeing Mamma Mia at all, is once too often.)

it's a big verdict announced today. Panorama have been following Stephen Lawrence's mother all year and the programme was probably waiting to be aired.
It might get a good rating or it might not but It's an important programme and sometimes things are more important than ratings. |

Considering I've barely watched BBC1 over Christmas I wouldn't have noticed anyway, but Public Enemies seems to have had a relatively low key build up, so maybe postponing the series completely would be better. It's not the most cheerful drama either.... |

Just watched the Panorama report, it was excellent, but completely heart breaking and given the effect this case has had on the legal system, I think it was absolutely the right decision for Public Service broadcaster to show this tonight. It is far more important than trivial ratings.

If it gets delayed much longer, it might as well go in the bin. It was originally down for October, but got moved when DIP was brought forward.

A powerful, moving and thought provoking edition of Panorama tonight. Right to be shown and I couldn't care less about ratings right now.

This year's Christmas Day 9pm head to head was built as the most exciting for years but now I couldn't give a stuff about what won. Talk about sucking the life out of an intriguing battle.

Any Boxing Day official ratings yet for us to digest, analyse and digest in our usual forensic fashion?

I gave up on the Lawrence doc after 20 minutes when it became clear it was little to do with the trial that has just concluded today and predominantly an attack on the Met. I suspect it will have had less than 3m viewers for sure.
Typical BBC, losing sight of the wood for the PC-driven Guardianista trees. I suspect the ITV documentary on now is focusing more on the trial and reporting on what a jury has just decided. As for Public Enemies, it's now sunk. It was never going to be a big rater given how grim it looked, but at least it stood a chance with a Holby lead in and The Biggest Loser as opposition. It will probably launch to 3-3.5m tomorrow now, and kill the rest of BBC1's week, giving nice launches to Eternal Law and L&O, hurting BBC1 further in coming weeks. If they wanted to run a Lawrence doc, then 10.35pm was going begging with a Lee Mack repeat shown just 2 days ago in that slot. |

All times are GMT. The time now is 11:38.



Can't they dump that back in the 2.15 in the afternoon slot?
