White Heat totally collapsed to just over 1 million.
Mary's Bottom Line debuted with 1.4m for C4. Thanks to Jake Kanter for these via Twitter. |

Why is whenever I go to the US the breaks are filled with stuff for old people? Old men doing oatmeal ads, incontinence pads, denture cleaners etc. etc.
Same as UK, old people watch a lot of daytime tv so no need to programme for them in primetime when you want to reach younger viewers. |

Recorded White Heat and Master Chef last night to watch Love Life. That was a mistake! The review in the Independent this morning is spot on. How low can it go next week? But then John Bishop on BBC1 is probably not much competition.

ITV will have the second leg of Chelsea v Benfica on Wednesday April 4th and potentially the first leg of the semi final between Chelsea and Barcelona on April 18th.
They will also have the first leg of AC Milan v Barcelona on Wednesday 28th March and the second leg of the semi final between, most likely, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich on April 25th. |

"EE in Crisis" won the night?
Move along now, nothing to see here... That being said, all the shows looked pretty poor last night, not just Eastenders, though your comment is still a contradiction with your views on ITV shows. |

A cosy 7 hour costume drama by Andrew Davies after the success of Downton, Midwife and Lark Rise is a RISK?
I hope they dont go too wild and commission a Maverick Cop drama with an ex soapstar in the lead... Quote:
Whats wrong with police procedural dramas? CBS has become the most watched network in America by making lots of police procedurals.
ITV don't have that kind of strength in comedy. And none of their police procedurals are going to sell in the US. This is as much a commission for ITV Studios as it is for ITV1. If it takes off, there's a lot of money in it. That being said, Mr Selfridge is unlikely to draw huge numbers of young viewers. But it does present a slightly different (better) image of ITV drama and will hopefully draw ABC1 viewers. Indeed, I don't think ITV has a huge problem with "non-crime drama" anymore. The problem seems to be more specific - when they target younger viewers with drama. Doc Martin, Downton Abbey and even Wild At Heart draw good numbers overall. Of course, this isn't unique to ITV. It's not even unique to the UK. The Walking Dead on AMC is right at the top of the US scripted ratings. True Blood dominates in the summer. But the broadcast nets are having a nightmare with young skewing drama. Quote:
Nationality does come into it a little bit. Look at the ratings for American TV shows here and compare them to similar British shows, theyre always much lower. There are still some people out there who wont watch a tv show because it has non British characters in it. Its true, if you go to a nursing home and see what people there prefer to watch- CSI or The Body Farm? Theyll choose The Body Farm cos its got English characters in it even though its 10 times worse lol.
So long as they make sure they get a few prominent British actors involved in it then they should be fine. If they actually land Jeremy Piven it's quite a coup and probably not bad to be able to promote a new series as having a "Golden Globe and Multiple Emmy Award Winning Actor" in the lead role.

I think everyone who regularly posts on this forum is well aware of the Anti-ITV/Pro-BBC propaganda that Robbie spews.
His hypocrisy and obvious bias is actually hilariously funny to laugh at, so Robbie keep on posting. It always makes me smile. |

The only issue is the cost...Wild At Heart can't be cheap to film considering it's filmed in the middle of Africa. It presume it must make money for the broadcaster, though, as it would've been axed by now.
) the solution is obvious.Move the show to the UK. You can bring over most of the cast. Get them setting up a Florida style wild life theme park here. This way you get to keep the same title and cast with no costly overseas shoots or actors fed up with spending six months a year away from family and so regularly quitting. And you get a new storyline direction that could revive the show after it is starting to repeat its African plots. They even have the bonus of the hot movie about a family buying a zoo that is based on a real UK story to give the media something to hook it onto. Easy peasy. |

Whether or not you agree with my regular witty and incisive comments on this forum, I hope everyone would agree I never "spew"!

Personally I think Robbie should have a little thread all of his own with other people's comments banned so we can all have a good l;augh at least once a day

He's like a broken record anything bad that ITV does he jumps straight into it, yet when the BBC does the same he doesn't say a word against it.
