One Born Every Minute is a beast for Channel 4. 3.7m (inc +1) is absolutely fantastic for the channel and the great thing for them is that it runs for 14 episodes. Just looking at its consolidated series averages so far (inc +1):
2010: 3.81m 2011: 3.62m 2012: 4.24m (after 3 episodes) Looks like it's moved up another level this series. And it provided a brilliant lead-in for Bouncers to take advantage of. The fly-on-the-wall documentaries can be a bit hit or miss (stuff like Fat Fighters bombed) but they've got their fair share of hits now with OBEM, 24HIA&E, Coppers and possibly Bouncers if it manages to retain its audience. |

BBC1's MasterChef cooked up an audience of 4.23m (18.18%) share.
Midsomer Murders returned with 5.87m (24%) / 370k (1.7%) +1 , making ITV1 the most-watched channel from 8pm-10pm. Great night for C4. One Born Every Minute delivered a series high of 3.21m / 503k +1. Bouncers admitted 2.37m / 333k +1. ITV2's TOWIE continued with 809k / 142k +1. Sources: John Williams, Michael Rosser As for Once Upon a Time, they should put it in the Slot immediately before CSI NY on Saturday since there a only repeats of NCIS there now which they don't need if they are showing the new Series on wednesdays. Of course 3 hours of new drama might come as a bit a culture shock for poor deprived Channel 5 fans (or whatever its called this week). |

One Born every minute really is ratings gold, it gets fantastic demos. If you think about it, every pregnant couple in the country probably watch it, as well as new moms or people gearing up towards having kids. I see tonnes of posts about it on facebook everyweek.

UKTV conjures up more Dynamo; sees off ITV/C4 Quote:
UKTV has fought off fierce competition from terrestrial broadcasters to sign an exclusive talent deal with magician Dynamo, which will see him appear in two new series for Watch this year. Source: Broadcast
The magician is understood to have negotiated a deal worth around £500,000, along with a slice of future DVD sales, to appear in a further eight episodes of Dynamo: Magician Impossible. The agreement prevents Dynamo from appearing in similar magic-themed series with other broadcasters, but he remains free to do special guest appearances, such as his slot on BBC2 panel show Never Mind the Buzzcocks. The broadcaster is understood to have seen off interest from ITV and Channel 4 to secure the two 4 x 60-minute series, which will air on pay-TV channel Watch in May and towards the end of the year. Dynamo: Magician Impossible first aired in July, attracting an average audience of 1.7 million, compared with Watch’s slot average of 152,000 for 2011. |

Yep, One Born Every Minute is massively popular among Housewives with Children. About 25-30% of the show's audience are Housewives with Children, which is a lot - most primetime shows skew within 10-15%. In raw numbers, it's one of the most popular shows in the whole week for Housewives with Children, only behind the soaps, Dancing on Ice, Wild at Heart and now Call The Midwife. And that's really good for Channel 4 because that demographic is really valuable to advertisers so they must be making a lot of money from the show. As you say as well, it's very popular with 16-34s too, with almost 40% of its audience in that demo (almost 1m in raw terms).

Quite respectable for The Unforgettable Rod Hull last night, I enjoyed it as he was a big part of my formative years. However, didn't he do some shows for Thames before his big years on BBC 1?

Re ITV moving and/or dropping poorly performing shows...
Persevering with these flops on a Tuesday night is making them look unprofessional. As another poster has said, wheel in some repeats of dramas or films as a stop gap (after all was it not back in the early 1980s ITV had a policy of showing films on Thursday nights - mind you in those days they were big premieres?) and move The Exit List to another night/timeslot. It does beg the question though - Do ITV not have some sort of agreement with the advertisers/sponsors that no matter the ratings they are duty bound to put certain shows out at pre agreed times, and so therefore may be in a position to be unable to move certain shows? |

Is something like 3.8m "respectable" when sandwiched between a 7m rated soap and a 5.9m rated drama, whilst BBC1 offered up consumer advice - which still soundly beat it by around 1.3m?

Timothy Spall and Jennifer Saunders are to star in a new BBC1 six-part comedy based on P G Wodehouse's Blandings. Spall will play Clarence Emsworth, master of Blandings castle, and Saunders will play his sister Connie. Written by Lost in Austen's Guy Andrews it is set in 1929. The series will be filmed on location in Northern Ireland.

ITV Wednesdays are pretty much the opposite of ITV Tuesdays. Midsommer did very well as per usual, and the Unforgettable does very well considering what it is. Not much to say about BBC One, other than it's telling, and a little bit troubling, that Rip Off Britain was their star offering yesterday! One Born Every Minute did excellently for C4 - and having seen its demos, you can start to appreciate it's importance to the network. Quote:

Heavy snow for the majority of England Saturday night into Sunday and little on the big two to capitalise.

ITV does have the new series of TV Burp, so thats good for them, and people may take the chance to check out Mrs Browns Boys. |
