TOWIE hunk Mark Wright has bagged his first prime time ITV1 show – and has flown to GERMANY to make it. The I'm A Celebrity and The Only Way Is Essex star is moving up the channels after impressing bosses with his stint on Take Me Out: The Gossip on ITV2. He will join presenter Melanie Sykes on My Man Can, an offbeat challenge where women find out how useful their fellas are. In the show being filmed in Cologne — the format is already a hit in Germany — blokes will be set challenges such as eating a plate of raw chillies and limbo-dancing. Their other halves have to guess how well they will do.
Regarding this abomination of an idea (from Germany yikes!), could this really work as the 6.30/7.00pm Saturday show or would it be shoehorned into Tuesday night flopzone at 8.00pm? I think we all know Mel Sykes + Mark Wright = low ratings. I am thinking 3.0m on a Saturday and 2.2m on a Tuesday.

I dont know about that, shouldn't the job to be to build an entire schedule, not just one smash hit?
That smash hit is nice, but I would much rather have an entire schedule of successful shows. There is no question Gypsy Weddings is a hit, but unlike Big Brother its not ground breaking. If you look at something like 10 O'Clock Live. You'd think that if they were launching that a few years ago it would have gone on Friday night in the middle of a Big Brother sandwich on eviction night. That would have locked in a strong audience for it and then potentially have allowed it to stand on its own in future series. But as it was it was just thrown onto a wasteland of a schedule and expected to do it by itself. And to be honest with you I think the problem with Gypsy Wedding is that it doesn't drive all that much positive attention to the channel. Big Brother certainly brought a lot of negative press but it also brought a lot of great coverage and seemed to be a talking point for people. Gypsy Wedding just seems to be an excuse for everyone to slag off gypsies... |

Home and Away did well to beat Hollyoaks but it did have itself as a lead in!
Yesterday 18.00 795k (4.1%); 18.30 787k (3.8%) 11/03/11 18.00 879k (4.4%); 18.30 719k (3.4%) 25/02/11 18.00 719k (3.9%); 18.30 670k (3.4%) Also I can't remember the last time the lunchtime edition hit a 5% share, must be a very long time ago. More recently it has settled to around half of that. It does seem as though it might be (slowly) turning a corner. And deservedly so, because the show is in a good place right now quality wise. |

2. She got rid of her existing agent who had advised her against leaving the BBC, with the BBC promising to make her ''the face of the Olympics'' (never clear what that meant).

I was actually pleasantly surprised by H&A yesterday. It was up on the past couple of times the channel aired double bills of the soap due to football:

Wasn't Beat The Star a German format which was filmed in Germany? Haven't ITV learnt their lesson yet???

That said watching the video I posted, its easy to see why they would film a non-broadcast pilot on the German set, which is after all what is being filmed http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/news/...y-man-can.html |

I've just noticed that Channel 5 dropped both their news programmes yesterday to fit in their soap double bills. Tut, tut, tut! Shouldn't they be fined for that?
![]() ![]() The timing of the football was perfect as they are currently winding down the BSkyB service and moving over to ITN. Staff can be trained on the new working practices without having to worry about preparing for any bulletins. Indeed they could have had a normal programme on Thursday at 5pm if they wanted to as there was no need for 45 minutes of buildup, but they decided not to whilst the changeover is taking place. I do find it ridiculous though that due to the new set not being ready staff are having to be shipped via taxis between the newsroom at Channel 5's base where the show will eventually come from, to ITN HQ at Gray's Inn Road. That's clearly not an ideal setup for anyone involved with the programme and is probably making it more stressful than it needed to be. |

Well if Lets Dance does get a good rating tomorrow it will be down to past performance imo.
Just a loud mess. |

Friday 17th February 2012
BBC One 20:30 - Room 101: 3.40m (14.0%) 21:00 - Hustle: 5.34m (22.9%) 22:35 - The Graham Norton Show: 3.48m (23.3%) BBC Two 20:00 - Mastermind: 2.08m (8.8%) 21:00 - Baka: A Cry from the Rainforest: 1.13m (5.1%) ITV1 20:00 - Safari Vet School: 2.45m (10.4%) 21:00 - Law & Order: UK: 4.32m (18.5%) * +1: 294k (1.6%) Channel 4 20:30 - New Girl: 854k (3.5%) * +1: 148k (0.6%) 21:00 - The Bank Job: 913k (3.9%) * +1: 171k (0.9%) Channel 5 20:00 - World's Toughest Trucker: 1.04m (5.3%) 21:00 - The Mentalist: 1.13m (4.9%) Sky1 21:00 - Stella: 660k (2.3%) Primetime Shares ITV1 - 22.5% (+1: 0.8%) BBC One - 21.6% BBC Two - 5.9% Channel 5 - 4.2% Channel 4 - 4.2% Source: DS. Ratings include HD and are tape-checked. I think BBC One and ITV1 will be pleased with their 9pm ratings, but the other three terrestrials not so pleased. Dismal for The Bank Job on Channel 4. |

I assume it is meant for a Saturday slot, but if commissioned, it could end up in Tuesday slot, when someone realises just how shit it is.

Another quality offering from the cesspit known as ITV Entertainment. I reckon 2 million might regard this as interesting viewing, but this will be another long line of breaindead offerings from the people's channel. BBC One must be relishing this as even their weakest offerings will have double the audience of this.
Really some folks here need to get out a bit more. |

All time low for The Mentalist. Previous low was 1.19m.
I'm not too concerned though as it's likely the combination of the last ever Hustle and the last in the series of what's turned out to be quite a strong performing run of Law & Order: UK had an effect. Next week both of these programmes will be out of the equation so I'm expecting it to return to normal levels. |

Here's an interesting one. Ant and Dec said on Twitter on Thursday in response to someone that Britain's Got Talent is returning "late March/early April". And now Stephen Mulhern has said at the end of the Britain's Got Talent live stream on YouTube that it returns "in March". So it looks like we can definitely pencil in Britain's Got Talent for an earlier return date this year.
That will probably be due to the Jubilee but it also suggests to me that the live shows may start on May Day this year. I pencil a start date of Saturday 24th March. You may recognise that start date from somewhere.... coincidence? Or deliberate? Which brings me onto Take Me Out, that isn't due to finish until Saturday 7th April. Would ITV run Take Me Out at 19:00 before Britain's Got Talent or shift Britain's Got Talent forward to 19:30 with Take Me Out afterwards, limiting BBC's options with The Voice as it would be pushed to 18:30 to avoid a clash? Assuming this actually happens, is ITV trying to crush The Voice from the get-go? |

Where all of ITV's junk ends up, I had to laugh yesterday when someone mentioned moving The Biggest Loser and upsetting its fans, what both of them.
I think tonight's TV Burp answers the question of why L&O is failing, did they really spend a whole episode, saying they were looking for Harry Hill? Room 101, needs a rethink, for starters drop the "You Tube clip" element, that isnt what I buy my licence fee for. GeorgeS I suppose there is an element of " The Generation Game" to it, but its a rubbish version of The Generation Game, with non of the heart or warmth that made viewers love it. |

Is it just on Sundays or Saturdays as well?
All a bit sad really. T4 helped break through some notable talent that went on to be big primetime stars. From a mere ratings point-of-view it doesn't do much for them these days so not a huge loss but inevitably this will continue the trend of the typical C4 viewer increasing in age. I think for now Saturdays will remain on C4, but I suspect Jay Hunt wants rid. Quote:

Where have you got the idea from that Law & Order is failing? It's been performing well this series

Exactly - the production line of TV hosts is grinding to a halt and T4 has given the nation Ben Shepherd, Dermot O'Leary, Steve Jones and Vernon Kay - though interestingly the women don't seem to do so well.
As for the girls, June Sarpong has done OK since, but yeah nothing like the men mentioned. |

You may recognise that start date from somewhere.... coincidence? Or deliberate? BGT usually has a Sunday auditions show and could easily flesh out the stage before the semi-finals. Eight shows would take it through to the Champions League final on the 19th May, then perhaps have a Top 40 revealed show on Sunday 20th and the live shows from Monday 28th. |

Its not like ITV has form for moving shows to dent BBC's new hits......
![]() It won't do either show any favours though as I'm expecting there to be sizeable interest in The Voice at launch regardless. |
