Another massive piece in The Mirror about it today. I guess it's such a big story because of David Jason's involvement and what that meant for expectations.
Say something more snappy and tabloid-esque and you may get quoted in next week's story

Although they shouldn't need to be told by the British public. They should have looked at the pilot episode, spotted it was rubbish and binned it there and then. That's what these executives are paid for.
![]() Was TRB something David Jason had alot to do with, or was he just cast in it? I was predicting this was a flop long before any of you joined my band wagon

In regards to this thread being too big would it be a good idea to post a new thread just giving rzt or whichevers contributors figures as a sticky topic with no way or replying. Purely for those you dont want to trawl? Or do we expect the thread to calm down abit now?

It would certainly make ITV happy if the BBC put a vulgar 1970's man dressed as a woman 'comedy' show on at 9pm
You appear to be in a minority, the show's audience went up nearly 400% between the start and the end of the year! |

Jason is credited as Executive Producer, so he is very heavily involved in this disaster. When he appeared on The One Show before Christmas he seemed particularly proud of it, and was hoping the public would take to it.

![]() As regards to the thread, I'm struggling to keep up with how quickly this thread moves. Maybe a sticky thread wouldn't be such a bad idea or even a subforum to incorporate all ratings-related threads including our stuff i.e. TXF Ratings Thread etc and so forth. One question to everyone - do you think BARB will change their ratings system to the way it was pre-2002 but with a few alterations, so include all repeat showings with the actual live showing, VOSDAL, Live+7, PVR and possibly on-demand viewings on BBCiPlayer, ITV Player, 4oD, Demand 5? |

I think DJ has an old fashioned view on entertainment. He's criticised many shows recently for being too adult themed.

Its interesting. In the old SCD world someone like Karen Hardy would have been a shoe in. However it might be considered a bit boring to have a known cosy face in the razzle dazzle modern show of today. Since Cowell has made his midnight raid I reckon the pressure is on to do something a bit out of the ordinary.
EDIT: Congrats to "Robert Sykes" flying the flag of the BBC into the dragons den of the Mail ![]() ![]() What a nasty bunch the Downtonistas are....

There always seems to be an unusually amount of posts during the middle of a working day. Quite often the ratings have been announced, discussed and then the conversation has changed to one of the generic filler topics all before I manage to log-in at teatime!

The Bank Job will surely plummet tonight, car crash like you could't imagine.

Ungrateful bunch giving me 87 "dislikes". I wasn't dissing Downton, just giving an alternative perspective.

![]() Technical hitches, George Lamb messing up all over the place, truly shocking, but strangely compelling. ![]() There was one thing I'd never seen before on that show though - a Twitter feed running across the bottom of the screen during commercials. I wonder if that's a sign of things to come in the future. My memory may be mistaken, but I seem to recall a Digital Spy article on the day of TRB's 1st episode where David Jason said TRB's humour was more "visual" than anything else. That had alarm bells ringing in my head as to how funny it would be, but I still at least gave it a try for 1 episode. I was wrong to. |

I don't think the solution to this thread's popularity is to hack it up into various sub-threads which it's hard to keep track of. I'd much rather wade through one thread than several.
It is useful signing up to Twitter though and subscribing to ronant's TVRatingsUK ratings tweets, amongst others, to get your daily ratings round up and then catch up here from home later. I suspect things will die down a bit once the Christmas ratings are all out of the way, the charts are finalised, and Alesha's new found fan club have their excitement out of the way. It's a bit of a wasteland now till the spring I suspect. |

Nah, they never would have expected that to get CSI figures. It wasn't even advertised. With a share of over 5% it did fine.
Quote:
Yep. From next week the 7pm bulletin is brought forward. It'll rate just as badly as it always does but out of primetime it's better news from a share point-of-view. I think it's possibly just temporary whilst CBB is on as I think it needs to be after 7pm for much of the year in order to contribute to their peak time quota, the reason it's there in the first place.
Quote:
I do think though with CBB coming back they could have done with more of their mainstays back in the schedule to give them a bit more oomph. Early evenings look depressingly weak with some of these Stobart episodes on their fourth airing now on the main channel alone! With the aussie soaps not back until the 16th, and the talk shows not back until the 9th, everything is a week too late. It's a very slow startup again after the holidays and it will cost them in the all day shares.

Between the two time slots, I'd say 6.30pm is better for the channel. Though is the 5pm bulletin required because of the quota?

I agree though, keep this thread as one - don't think it would be the same without all the various discussions. |

29th place for The Royal Bodyguard and 31st for Mrs Brown's Boys in the year-end chart by my reckoning.
Or maybe a "Class of 2011" list - the one offs, new shows that started, and ones resurrected in 2011. Purely from memory I guess it would be something like: Frozen Planet 9.72m Scott & Bailey 9.11m Absolutely Fabulous 9.07m (i know, it's 20 years old but revived and possibly has a new life with these stonking ratings) Come Fly With Me 8.80m My Big Fat Gypsy Weddings 8.70m The Royal Bodyguard 8.25m Mrs Brown's Boys 8.24m etc.... |
