Any news on how Skins did? Heard that Hollyoaks got 0.72k on E4 earlier which is great!

Nothing to do with EmFm, all about denting EE for the sake of it. They've only been doing it for 25 years now...

Or to do with the fact that they've got live football straight afterwards so had to merge the two episodes to accommodate the match.

Fair enough. I hadn't noticed.

I wish I hadn't either, as the sooner the ratings plummet for Kyle's horror show and it's off the air the better in my book.

It's got seven more showings (14 including +1) so it will pick some more up along the way.
Shame that apart from Top Gear, none of the 8pm Sunday shows DOI, CTM and The Hotel have repeats during the week.
Channel 4 Sales has been down for maintenance for a hell of a long time now. Am I alone in being slightly cynical about this given the timing? Main channel down nearly 15% last month, off to an even worse start this month and 20% in the key 16-34 demo.
Maybe it will magically reappear tomorrow morning.

Well so did No Ordinary Family. And haven't Sky been busy plugging Grimm on UKTV's behalf in their latest promos?
I stand by my comment that they'll be slightly disappointed.

Fair enough I didn't realise that but on past form you can understand people slagging them off.
I also think a soap that is on a colossal 6 times per week could easily afford to drop an episode.

Or edit a couple of episodes together into one 30 minuter if the schedule one week is brim full of other treats...
I'm sure if they stripped out some of the EE-style chavvery and shouty/fighty bits from EmFm and Coro St they could lose some of the flab. It's the time of year for trimming down a bit.

Doubt Gypsy weddings will be as high this year, Gypsies overexposed in general of late.

I thought Grimm might have appeared on Anytime this morning, but no. No Ordinary Family and Suits both did.
Grimm should get 1m+ in the aggregated officials. The UKTV channels are very rarely watched in our house. Perhaps there's a perception that they're only BBC repeats?
Was No Ordinary Family's 600k+ the officials and not overnight?

its got to be better than Drivetime with Lisa Tarbuck, almost enough to make you wish Chris Evans would return to drivetime
On the serious talk of ratings, without me noticing 5pm has become really competitive, with both BBC and ITV having a strong offering.
Poor America - Panorama, did ok at 3.3 million, but there are some MPs I could mention who should be made to watch this, and asked if this is really what they want for the UK.
Daybreak 0.6 million, wow Adrian and Christine just totally killed Daybreak, at this point you wonder if its worth keeping any of it, be it the name, the set, or anyone who ever presented it under the Daybreak name.
Pleased to see Whitechapel doing well, even if it is on "the other side" Good night generally for ITV actually Corrie and Emmerdale did well, and Cornwall with Caroline Quentin could be worse.
C4, I think it should worry that its highest rated show is a Simpsons repeat. That said there has been so many screw up with Olympic Tickets, im amazed it got that many. I bet that was boring.

"Slightly concerning" that people keep choosing to overlook this...
I don't know if the EmFm share includes the ITV1+1 share too, but to be a smidge ahead is hardly a surprise when you consider how much more competitive the 8pm hour is than the 7pm one - look at the BBC2 competition at 8pm compared to 7pm for example.
You understand how share works, yes? If a popular show is up against more robust opposition than the show you are comparing it against, then its "share" is self evidently going to take a knock even if the raw numbers (all that matters really) are still better.”

Yes, Robbie, the list Andy has posted does include +1 in the share. However, with +1 factored out, Emmerdale still has a bigger share and is 0.7m behind EE. The EE not to be topping 9m in February is abit concerning.
-------------------------------------------
Corrie is flying at the moment. I wasn't expecting the run of big ratings to continue, but those are bigger ratings than some of the recent big episodes. Emmerdale should be in for a good week with the Barton s/l reaching its climax. Whitechapel pulls ahead of BBC1 in the 9pm hour. The once a week format is working much better than the stripped format, and ITV should be pleased with the way Whitechapel is holding up.

Re: Whitechapel and TDQ, Whitechapel's overnight figure includes Scotland viewers who would've been watching something else.

Do we know what Whitechapel got in the 9pm hour? Thanks
I thought Whitechapel rated MUCH higher a few years back or is that my imagination?

This was the figure posted by Andy a few pages back: Whitechapel - 5.8m (295k +1)
In terms of the ratings for Whtechapel. The first series rated very well. The first ever episode pulled in an 8m+ figure. The second series, IIRC, dipped below 5m twice. Something around 4.5m I think. This series is rating well so far...

That 8m+ figure occured on the infamous snow day of Feb 2009, in those days it was the first heavy snow affected day in many years, of course there have been many snow days since then so I don't think they make quite as much impact nowadays.

Funny how you only ever post your "concern" about the EmFm vs EE battle on Tuesdays (indeed, every Tuesday...), in response to the Monday overnights.
Why is that?

Indeed. There seems to be some satisfaction derived from Whitechapel getting 5.8m overnights (6.3m official for ep 1), but these are pretty unexceptional par for the course figures for Monday night ITV crime dramas.
I wonder if viewers are tiring of the same old "crime by numbers" dramas popping up one after the other on the Monday night crime drama conveyor belt?

Thanks for info, I hadn't seen the number less +1.
I knew I had a memory of it being higher, I didn't realise it was snow inflated.

Yeah, for the first two years it started the week after Noel's House Party. They consistently changed the format, though, the first series it was a game show with contestants winning prizes through confessing, but there were moans that this was unpleasant and rewarded bad behaviour. I dunno if that was the reason it was changed for the second series, but from then on it was more a House Party-esque series with stunts and stuff on film and so on.
The third series in 1997 was in the summer, though (and got interrupted for Diana's funeral) and the final series in 1998 was shoved in the absolutely awful slot of Fridays at eight, when Fridays were a very weak night for the Beeb, and it got yanked off and shuffled around the schedules during the World Cup, I'm not sure it even finished the run.

I think that was the first Dispatches of the year, wasn't it? I read somewhere they were going to make Dispatches thirty minutes and move it to a new slot, but I must have imagined that. Of course, when Panorama moved to Mondays at 8.30, C4 moaned they were going up against Dispatches (a slot it had filled for all of six months, and Tonight was already there when they moved). But they didn't do anything about it.
