I'd say that was a good start. I'd like to know what the +1 rating was as that might bring it up to debut figure last year.
EDIT: Oh the rating does include +1 in that case down a million on it's debut after Britain's Got Talent.

Don't ever recall this complaint from you when ITN have gone big on the "and finally, millions are gearing up for the Tv event of the year..." guff.

Well down on the equivalent episode last year, and I expected it to be at least 7m given the highbrow opposition. It's also well below the levels New Tricks, the nearest equivalent BBC show, can achieve in the same slot.

It was at 7m with +1.
Face it, it's a great result. Well above the DSRPG average.
Looks like Corrie peaked at 10.7m, average of 9.9m, which blows the "BGT lead in last year" defence for S&B out of the water...
BBC 1 might have a really tough week there is just nothing on here at all for me any more.
But maybe it will do better at the weekend when the F1 starts.

Is this the Scott and Bailey shows, where two women seemingly talk about nothing in the trailer, and then the caption reads something like "good cops, better friends", because ive seen that trailer, puts me right off.
If I want to hear two women talk about nothing for 60 minutes, ill spend more time with my mother and sister, leave the crime solving to a show like Whitechapel, with interesting characters, and dark, gothic killers.

Who says that criticism is ill-informed? Or are you John Yorke in disguise?
You may describe Yorke as 'passionate' about EastEnders. Others would call it obsessed with the show, to the extent that those employed in senior positions are now under such scrutiny that Yorke might as well just do those jobs himself. When he was briefly at Channel 4, his meetings there would be dominated by him complaining about what had happened to EastEnders in his absence. Which says rather a lot.
As others have said, Kirkwood came to EastEnders as a hot ticket and man of the moment. I would suspect he had a damn sight more freedom at Lime Pictures than he did at the BBC - so I wouldn't be so quick to blame him from every failure.
Yorke's continued presence on EastEnders will be the undoing of the show. He may well have had success on the show in the past - I wouldn't dispute that for a moment - but nobody can continue doing the same job in television without going stale. He needs a new challenge - away from EastEnders - and the show needs revitalising ... without him.
Why is scott bailey 7m bad? I thought 7m is good for drama. I dont understand the New Tricks comparisons, ones about old cops and other ones about younger female cops.

It was excellent quality though. Paul Wood's broadcast was a proper documentary worthy of awards. Sad to see it rating so low.

Panorama is currently in a scheduling ghetto against strong BBC2 and ITV programmes. It needs to be more visible, and I think should have a regular Monday 9pm hour long slot, featuring reports on more than one subject if necessary.
But on BBC2.

I'm on the wrong thread but I watched it and thought it was excellent television and bugger the ratings

That start date has now been confirmed by a Disney representative on Twitter. The UK press screening was yesterday which seems to have gone well.

If they put it on BBC2 the Daily Mail would start screaming at them about it dumbing down and that BBC are trying to get rid of it. Not worth the hastle to move it from the BBC's point of view.
BREAKING- Channel 4 set to snatch Grand National rights from the BBC. Another nail in the coffin for BBC Sport.

What is Once Upon a Time about Dancc? Is it Sci fi or procedural crime, or something completely different? Thanks

What will the sport department actually be doing in Salford?

That's a show based on fairytale characters pretty much. A bit like Grimm on Watch which is actually a police drama with fairytale characters.

There's a huge amount of sport still on BBC Television and they haven't been serious about the gee gees for years now.

Well, there were whispers at the weekend that this was coming so it's not a surprise. Good pickup by Channel 4 which really does cement their position as the UK home of horce racing.
I think "nail in the coffin for BBC Sport" is a little OTT, but it's certainly a continuation of a gradual watering down of their coverage. Again, we all knew that was coming with DQF.

It's a good versus evil fantasy drama from ABC in the US. I'm delighted it's going on Sundays, should find a strong family audience there.
