Strange how a character's departure who's only been in the show for 5 years got 11.5m but Pat Butcher's who has been in her soap for 20+ years got less than 10m.

The trouble with the two series cycle is I think most people wrote it off last year. The premiere seems to have been seen as an improvement on last year, but can't see it building in the overnights to much more than 600,000 throughout the series - which we shouldn't forget is actually still pretty damn good for E4, but not the 800,000-1m you expect from their drama.

Coronation Street drew 11.51m (44.15%) / 300k +1 for Becky Macdonald's exit. Peak: 12.07m.
Source: Michael Rosser ------------------------------ I think that will probably end up as the top rated soap episode of 2012. I can't see what else could beat that unless the Christmas Day EastEnders isn't up against DA. Quote:
- On BBC1, EastEnders got a strong 9.06m (35.4%), Royal Bodyguard was still low with 2.79m (11.1%) and Mrs Brown's Boys was up to 5.22m (20%).

Wow, I believe I recommended Whitechapel to you during our "you should give some ITV drama a try" dispute - you watched the repeat on ITV3 - and you're still watching it...
![]() It is a good show. on to ratings Not surprised Panorama didnt preform well (im avoiding train puns) the reasons for high train fairs are well known. Sometimes I wonder if Panorama is best served having to make an episode every week. Was expecting slightly more for Celebrity Big Brother, again Wedding Planner took advantage of the lead in. |

![]() Celeb Wedding Planner is a flop, beaten almost 2:1 by a show called Party Paramedics on 4, but its demos are probably alright. I agree with the poster that said they should have swapped it with Bit On The Side last night. It's not strong enough to be a good sandwich show. |

Demographic Information for BBC1 and ITV1 covering the period of Sunday 15th to 22nd January: http://i42.tinypic.com/2hmotok.jpg
If my wife is watching one of her programmes, I'm still in the lounge, surfing the net or reading, but aware of what's on the TV. If I was in a BARB home, would I be counted as a viewer? |

These ratings show that there is still life in CBB format. Don't watch it anymore myself though but a lot of people seem to be enjoying it.
As for the normal BB, I recon one more go in the summer and if that is a flop again it needs to go. Even 2 CBB's in a year would work in place of it |

thanks for posting the demo information rzt, I was going to ask you to post them for Call The Midwife.
TBH I am amazed that as much as 38% of the audience is male. figured it would be 25% - 30% Football aside, BBC seems to serve male viewers better than ITV. |

Perhaps Sky don't need to give away matches?
ESPN must be struggling. I've just been given two months free, with no contract. So I'm getting all their matches FREE. |

As far as the free weekend is concerned, I would be very surprised if Manchester City v Fulham manages to be the highest rated live Premier League match ever as some of the media have suggested. Will be fascinating to see how ESPN get on in the auction for Premier League rights which is due in the Spring. I imagine they will want at least 2 packages (although the details of the packages on offer has yet to be confirmed) but I suspect Sky will want to keep hold of Monday Night Football which has been a big success since it returned 2 seasons ago. There is also the added wild card of Al Jazeera who have being buying up rights for French football in recent weeks and who obviously have a huge budget. |

Look closely at the small print - after one month you have to tell them whether you wish to continue. If you don't contact them they'll assume you do and start charging you.
When Sky give three months free, you're tied in for twelve months regardless. I've put the cancellation date on my calendar!! |

Surely this series of Skins is going to be the last. Talk about flogging a dead horse. If that's its premiere rating then it's going to be rating very low by the end of the series.

I think the Skins bubble might have burst last year. It premiered okay but as it got into the series proper it was posting some low numbers.
Not sure how 4OD views might affect it though. Maybe it does really well on there?

Are the Corrie figures really that surprising? They have been advertising and hyping Becky's exit up for weeks.
The BBC rarely seem to promote EE anymore. Not in the way they used to. Pat's exit did well to get over 10 million considering the promo for it only began a matter of days before she snuffed it. |

The BBC didn't promote Birdsong very much yet it ran endless promos for Andrew Neill's new Sunday politics show (which I would think had less interest for most viewers).

I also think that with EE, Pat's demise was a widely known, foregone conclusion and not exactly cheery New Year's Day viewing; Corrie on the other hand managed to keep some air of mystery surrounding Becky's departure. Becky had the same lynchpin status as a character which Raquel did back in the 90s.

Well the Dancing On Ice twist is revealed. Will it help it against Call The Midwife and Top Gear?

Now who was it around here that said scheduling of the Monday episodes just made Becky's departure look like a regular episode, so it wouldn't be an event? Shows what we know!
Quote:
There was talk about the scheduling of episodes in the other thread about how ITV should put the soaps back on Sunday. I REALLY don't want soaps on Sundays as I like a day free from them. If ITV put good shows on people will watch like The X Factor, Britain's Got Talent, Downton Abbey etc.

That will probably timeshift to over 12 million and will be the top rated soap episode this year.
Great rating for it considering the "lack of snow" and the such like this year. Corrie seems to do better for "big events" than EastEnders does, as shown a few weeks ago. To be honest, I was surprised at how well the show did last night, didnt realise Becky was such a draw. In the style of others posters who love their stereotypes, perhaps Corrie viewers relate to her with her being a northern, heavy smoking, violent, loud, semi-alcoholic, chav.

That seems a bit stupid, making half the celebrities immune from elimination, which surely would just disenfranchise the viewers more?
Yes, well done to me there. I guess when there's a really big storyline any scheduling will do but the current scheduling does limit them in terms of what they can do to really make an episode special. He says, repeatedly being proved wrong. There already is a day free from them, Saturdays. They can still put those shows on as well. My argument is that putting them on Sunday frees up the schedule, whereas now they're all crammed in on weeknights so if you don't like soaps there seems to be nothing for you on ITV pre-watershed. By moving one episode of each to Sunday it frees up another midweek slot and it provides more variety. |

Poor start for Skins...

Can't recall Strictly doing anything like that. There has been a lot of crap written here about Dancing on Ice over the last few days (I don't really understand why BBC fanboys are so threatened by it!). Yes, it gets quite a bit wrong (the ads, Christine Bleakley, the line up isn't great!) but as a competition and a format it is in no way as inferior to Strictly as some people here like to make out.

agreed, cant see EE beating that this year,
