I have been watching it on RTL Germany for the first six rounds. Now switched to Box Nation to find the picture quality is very poor. It's like watching on a converted NTSC to PAL feed. Even though Germany uses PAL technology.

Annoying when you're about to post something and the thread closes. Ah wells, thanks for the archive.

Will be interesting to see Box Nation's ratings - if they are released? Also, re: Law and Order: UK:

Probably because it's the longest so would put the most strain on DS' servers when accessed. It would be nice if they split it up into smaller chunks so we could still read it as there was a lot of data posted in that time.

C5 boxing is going to overrun.

Of course it's down to The Voice - the Jubilee isn't the issue people here over the last year have made it out to be
Indeed. The only big evening event is the Monday concert. The other two big events - Sunday's river pageant and Tuesday's thanksgiving service are daytime (with possibly extended news bulletins)

More disruption will probably be caused to primetime indirectly through soap scheduling - i.e. probably a Monday EE to reschedule, and whatever ITV1 decide to do on the Monday up against the concert. Apparently it will start mid-evening and end around 10.45pm

I don't see My Man Can being a big hit but done right it sounds like something that might do alright if made well and put in a decent slot.

As for Jay Hunt, I'm not convinced that she did that badly at BBC1. You could see why Channel 4, which relies on a lot of factual stuff, would see her as a good candidate. Tbh, I was quite surprised that they were down so much in January, I hadn't been conscious of it being that bad in the overnights. It's too soon to tell but one issue for her is that she'll not just be able to rely on factual. The 10pm hour is one that she needs to tackle, most likely with imports and drama. In Homeland, she has shown excellent taste, though I fear the ratings might not reward her for that decision.

BGT moving earlier is something I've suggested countless times - they've got a lot more freedom now that Cowell isn't doing American Idol. They don't need to be running the live week in June, clashing with Eurovision and being moved for the Champions League. Although I'd like to see it as part of a bigger overhaul of the structure which I doubt we'll actually get. The only way I can see BGT and The Voice clashing is if the latter runs past 8pm like Strictly did. In which case ITV1 will surely match the start time. Otherwise, I'd expect The Voice at 7pm-8pm and BGT at 8pm-9pm/9.15pm. And it would seem logical to match the start date as well.

I fear you maybe correct. The Voice has been in a hit in a different environment elsewhere, an environment without a dominant X-Factor (or in some cases without X-Factor).
Only that's really not true at all. The show has launched in markets where The X Factor and/or the Idol format have been at the very least popular if not outright dominant and been massively successful. People are far too keen to use The X Factor as a reason why the format can't possibly work in the UK. The Voice may or may not work here but if it doesn't it won't be because of The X Factor or even Britain's Got Talent. Its a more than strong enough format to stand on its own away from these shows and be successful.

Doom-mongers and republicans said exactly the same in 2002. Yet a million people turned up for the celebrations in The Mall and massive audiences tuned in for the TV coverage, despite it being a warm extended bank holiday weekend, and with World Cup 2002 kicking off the same weekend.

Take BBC1's Top 30 for example:

1 PARTY AT THE PALACE (MON 1929) 12.54
[clashed with Corrie, and peaked at >15m at 10pm]

2 WORLD CUP 2002: ARGENTINA V ENGLAND (FRI 1230) 12.00
3 EASTENDERS (TUE 2031) 11.36
4 EASTENDERS (FRI 2001) 10.66
5 WORLD CUP 2002: POST-MATCH (FRI 1420) 10.49
6 EASTENDERS (THU 1955) 10.31
7 BBC NEWS (TUE 1846) 9.44
8 CASUALTY (SAT 2016) 8.47
9 EASTENDERS (MON 1902) 8.33
10 HOLBY CITY (TUE 2100) 8.22
11 CARNIVAL IN THE MALL (TUE 1344) 7.88
12 THE ITALIAN JOB (THU 2024) 6.67
13 HAVE I GOT NEWS FOR YOU (FRI 2059) 6.65
14 STATE SERVICE OF THANKSGIVING (TUE 1125) 6.51
15 ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES (SUN 1935) 6.33
16 BBC NEWS AND WEATHER (SUN 2200) 6.25
17 SPOOKS (TUE 2158) 5.99
18 MY HERO (FRI 2030) 5.94
19 CRIMEWATCH UK UPDATE (WED 2100) 5.92
20 FIELDS OF GOLD (SAT 2108) 5.86
21 THE STATE PROCESSION (TUE 0925) 5.74
22 FIELDS OF GOLD (SUN 2104) 5.64
23 WORLD CUP 2002: PREMATCH (FRI 1150) 5.51
24 TEN O'CLOCK NEWS (WED 2200) 5.50
25 SIX O'CLOCK NEWS (FRI 1800) 5.50
26 SIX O'CLOCK NEWS (WED 1800) 5.43
27 WORLD CUP 2002: HIGHLIGHTS (TUE 1930) 5.38
28 THE NATIONAL LOTTERY - IN IT TO WIN IT (SAT 1931) 5.35
29 WORLD CUP 2002: BRAZIL V TURKEY (MON 1000) 5.32
30 TEN O'CLOCK NEWS (THU 2200) 5.28

The Golden Jubilee events marked in bold. But even these spectacular figures (eg, 6m watching a parade at 9.25am) fail to record the peaks (up to 11m on BBC1 alone as the Tuesday daytime festivities climaxed with a flypast and Royal gathering on the Palace balcony around 6pm), and the 4 Tuesday programmes highlighted made up the whole day's coverage on BBC1 between 9.25am and 7.15pm!

So, if taking this evidence into account - plus the monster ratings for the Royal Wedding last year - do you really think the Jubilee will be a non-event?

From TVScoops on Twitter:

ITV has commissioned a one-off special of 'Des O'Connor Tonight' to celebrate the life & career of one of Britain's best loved entertainers. The 90-minute special, which is set to feature star guests and celebrities, will be the first episode of 'Des O'Connor Tonight' in 10 years.

I wonder if they will be repeating the Stan Boardman joke about Fokker aircraft which nearly got them taken off the air in a live edition years ago ?

No sign of Louise Redknapp on BBC2's Something For The Weekend, although she was advertised to be on.
When she's on holiday, Tim and Simon (who are switching to Channel 4) normally mention it, but today they didn't.

I never said it would be a non-event, My point was the disruption to primetime schedules is limited to Monday night and any associated soap changes. There had been a suggestion BGT would have to avoid the jubilee weekend, which isn't the case. It can run on the Sat/Sun as normal

The only disruption the thanksgiving service is going to cause is that Homes Under The Hammer etc have to take the day off. And news bulletins maybe normal Tuesday length rather than bank holiday length

And for the record I am a proud supporter of the monarchy, and work permitting I hope to be one of the millions watching

No mention of Louise in the move to Channel 4 either.

Looks like Sky's John Williams is doing a fun run according to his tweets. As for the other Twitter sources, I don't know...

Disappointing 6.5m for Lets Dance. Football clash won't have helped....

Topped the day though.

Still would have peaked over 7m and would have been head and shoulders above the rest of the ratings I would have thought. So still pretty good.

#Letsdance averaged 6.5m, peak of 7.1m. Most popular show of the night #sportrelief
6.5m is impressive for what it is, I went higher on the RPG, but I think last year was exceptionally high. BBC1 will be happy if it continues at those levels next week.

Solid rating for Let's Dance. Down -14% y-o-y though, and it had an identical slot last year, and if anything the competition was slightly weaker on paper last night than it was last year. Still a good rating though.

How's down 14 percent still good? Dancing on Ice and Big Brother get slammed on this thread if theyre down that much. Its quite a bad start, BARB says it had 8million last year and 2010 it got 6.5million at half past 6.

It is good because it isn't really a 7-8m programme, 6.5m for a charity show is good - not headline grabbing but good, I was surprised when I noted what it rated in 2011, it is now back to 2010 levels.

Saturday 20th February 2010
BBC One

18:30 - Let's Dance For Sport Relief: 6.25m (26.8%)
* audience built from 4.94m to 7.92m
