You need to type the www. eg. http://www.barb.co.uk if you just go to barb.co.uk it won't work for some reason.

Think they have the wrong episode in reference? It was definitely Dame Judi Dench on the sofa. Either way... excellent figure!

all figures relate to overnights
Dancing On Ice is continuing its worrying decline, falling below 7m for the performances is a notable marker. Top Gear has also fallen significant amount. Whether these drops are entirely attributable to Call The Midwife I guess we will find out in a couple of weeks. The BAFTAS at 9pm certainly benefited from The Call The Midwife lead-in with a very strong rating by its standards. Elsewhere Channel 5 had a decent rating for their film, which was well timed ahead of Ghost Rider 2 coming out in the cinema this week. Channel 4 took a bit of a battering at 9pm though.

Good ratings for Call The Midwife. Felt it might dip slightly after last week but not to 8.5m. Still going huge to slightly less huge is no bad thing. But what has happened to this series of Dancing On Ice? If ratings don't go up when Call The Midwife ends then it has a problem.

That should work. Are you typing the name in properly?

Wow, great rating there. I was thinking around mid 4's, 5m absolute max. Average DSRPG prediction was 4.7m. CTM clearly helped, as well as DOI's ongoing woes.

Nice. Straight away Channel 5 seeing the benefits of Channel 4's run of movies in that slot coming to an end. As noted Ghost Rider was well-timed to coincide with the release of the new film. And I'm quite glad a show with a premise as flimsy as 'watch a bunch of strangers propose to their partners' flopped. I'd say the same if it was a Channel 5 show.

I was going to do that but I made that joke in another thread.

Yes, even tried Googling BARB and going from the link, but I get the message "the domain name www.barb.co.uk has been registered by NetNames"
Same with Chrome and Explorer.

How odd. I've clicked on the link and I'm there. What about deleting cookies from the browser & the cache and trying again?

Same here, FF and Opera
Why is it working for some and not others? Could it be pulling up an old cached version of the site for some users? Anyway, here's what myself and others are seeing instead of the traditional BARB homepage...

Yes I'm getting the same thing whereas a few minutes ago I was able to get straight to the BARB web site via my favourites. Surely BARB must have registered their own name

Looking at the ratings for The BAFTAs I'd say the lead-in and less potent DOI definitely helped. Plus I think it featured a few well known actors and some movies people saw in the cinema so could be curiosity factor too. As soon as 9pm hit I was watching Being Human. That Channel 4 show looked woeful. No thanks.
Talking of Channel 4.

I've just tried with a proxy server I use when I'm abroad and it works fine!! Must be blocked by some ISPs. Happened with DS a couple of years ago.

Me neither. Good article that. The most telling paragraph of all:

What is more, early indications for February are worse – all viewing down 17% and peak time down by 24%.”

Those are big big declines. BFGW is back tomorrow but is it really possible that against a backdrop of declines like these it could pull through and better last year's unfathomably huge numbers? I'm betting on no. They could really do with a favour from the ratings gods somewhere though.

I can honestly say that I've been enjoying Channel 5 much more than Channel 4 for months now. The Mentalist, CSI, NCIS, The Gadget Show, the films, some good documentaries. Now if it could just get a few more 2-3m homegrown shows apart from sport and Big Brother.
Channel 4 has a couple of shows that skew the audience up, but BFGW won't be enough and I don't think the gypsies will do the huge blockbuster numbers that the first run did. Also, as critically acclaimed as their dramas are they're not pulling in the viewers. And their cooking shows aren't really working either. But we're only in February and Channel 4 could yet surprise us.
