Here we go - sorry for the delay, caused by a bit of a mix up that's all... pretty dismal shares for C4 and C5 with ITV2 taking fourth spot...
Anyway, I'd better get back to my family... merry xmas everyone! MERRY XMAS EVERYONE ON THE RATINGS THREAD

Includes the finals of the reality shows, Merlin, Gypsy Xmas, etc. The X Factor Final - 2010 vs 2011 TOTAL - 17.16m vs 12.87m 4 to 15 - 13% vs 13% (-523k) 16 to 34 - 28% vs 28% (-1.18m) 35 to 44 - 19% vs 17% (-1.02m) 45 to 54 - 16% vs 18% (-522k) 55 to 64 - 11% vs 12% (-445k) 65+ - 13% vs 12% (-603k) The skews seem virtually the same year-on-year apart from a bit of difference in the 35 onwards bracket where it seems the 35 to 44 bracket was down more percentage wise. |

It'll be really quiet.

Sorry about the poor punctuality of our ratings over the last few weeks - we've been a bit short staffed of late (running into the xmas holidays) - I'll be taking over the reigns until January so feel free to send any complaints/queries my way and I'll get back to you.
Merry Christmas all, PJ Could someone look into that?

Also, do you know how the premiere of Tamara Drewe did on BBC2 last night?

Celebrity Juice - 1.70m It's All About Amy - 0.33m I think that was Celebrity Juice's 3rd highest ever overnight rating (1.77m, 1.74m). And I think that might be a record low for Channel 5 in a weeknight 10pm slot? I can't remember anything that low before! |

I'm glad Amy flopped, it'll mean less if not the end of the celebrity rubbish on Channel 5. Surely even Desmond must realise it's not working. Hopefully Celebrity Wedding Planner will flop as well.

Whilst you're here, when are DS going to start including +1 in the shares and programme information for Channel 5? Since they are comparable to ITV1+1/C4+1 in some instances I think they should be mentioned.
Thanks for pointing it out... we only include +1 if it's over 100,000 and I think some C5 +1 ratings will surpass that in primetime |

I'm sure she'll be back soon enough. Imagine leaving TOWIE to go on to better things, only to star in a show that is gaining a fraction of TOWIE's audience...
As for Amy herself, well its not been a total loss for her, I now know who she is. That said that isnt going to be hugely helpful to her career. Not sure if she should go back to TOWIE, or retire gracefully. Shrek continues to do well, despite being totally over used by the BBC. |

Just want to say merry Christmas to everyone on this thread, and thanks to all who provide data and to everyone who contributes to the thread for making it what it is.
![]() Also, I'm armed and ready with my stopwatch for Christmas. The Cube will be tapechecked significantly as it ended 8 minutes early at 19:22, so the last 10 minutes will be chopped off. Also, as it's Christmas, some predictions:Narnia: 5.7m Merlin: 6.7m EastEnders: 8.8m Outnumbered: 7.0m Lapland: 5.2m The Cube: 3.4m Text Santa: 3.2m Piers Morgan: 2.9m Hairspray: 3.0m If Text Santa could only get 4m with an X Factor lead-in, it won't do well tonight, especially with tougher competition. The Cube struggles away from XF and Piers won't benefit from the low lead-in, and it's not really a 'special' enough show for Christmas Eve. |

We can chop things off if we want to... but of course Attentional do not tape-check during holiday periods so nothing over Christmas from now will be tape-checked. Coronation Street last night was not tape-checked, I don't think.
Of course, it probably really wouldn't matter, if ITV is as low as your prediction Score tonight.

The Cube got 3.3m for its last celebrity special and is starting midway through Narnia, whilst Piers' show is just rubbish scheduling. Just watching Text Santa, it's definitely better than the launch show, and at the moment basically seems like Saturday Night Takeaway with a charity angle. Maybe I've under predicted it a bit but we'll see. |

Hairspray should do well although I'm a fan of the musical and the film it's based on but it wasn't a success in the same way Mamma Mia! was, still expect 2-2.5m though,

Merry Christmas to the lurkers on this thread and to those who contribute, to make this my favourite thread on DS. All your figures and thoughts make for interesting reading. Thanks to you all!
BTW - I know one casting director who reads this thread and some other threads on different sections often. He usually works for BBC and still is at the moment- well about the last 10 years. It was he who first showed me DS. |

The Cube struggles away from XF and Piers won't benefit from the low lead-in, and it's not really a 'special' enough show for Christmas Eve. For anyone switching the telly on around now, then Text Santa seems to be the obvious choice at least till Merlin starts. At the moment it is basically A&D's Saturday Night Takeaway with another name, and that will capture viewers surely? I think it will do miles better than the one with the TXF lead in, because people wanting an alternative to BBC1's early evening family fantasy line up could land on the Text Santa easy light entertainment offering by default. I think it will do much better than people expect - nothing spectacular over 2.5 hrs average, but it could be getting around 5-6m round about now I suspect, and should certainly be in front at this point in the evening. But from 8pm, and certainly from 8.45pm, the night belongs to BBC1. My predictions: Narnia: 4.5m Merlin: 6.5m EastEnders: 8.5m Outnumbered: 6.5m Lapland: 4.5m The Cube: 4.5m Text Santa: 5m Piers Morgan: 3m |

One thing in Text Santa's favour is BBC1's lazy film repeat-repeat taking up all of their early evening schedule. As TV viewing increases post 7pm/7.30pm what are people going to tune into - the last hour of a kids' film that's been on umpteen times, or find something else?
My predictions would be: Narnia: 5.2m Merlin: 5.8m EastEnders: 9.3m Outnumbered: 7m Lapland: 4m The Cube: 3.2m Text Santa: 2.4m (its two and a half hours ffs!) Piers Morgan: 1.4 |

I think your overstating this - plus Text Santa is two hours, can people be bothered sitting down to it in the first place?? Especially for the reasons the first performed poor (eg. ITV want to make money out of it)
The fact it followed the 2 hour long TXF final late on a Sunday night and was a completely different programme to the one on now was more likely to be the reason why the launch show performed poorly. Tonight's should do decently assuming people actually tune in and notice that it's basically Takeaway with a bit of charity thrown in. Many are likely to stick with BBC1 due to the strong line up of a classic children's film and EE. |
