Will you be criticising ITV1 for the way their schedules are set in stone to a much greater extent?
The One Show: 3 hours per week EastEnders: 2 hours per week: Holby/Casualty: 2 hours per week Antiques/Countryfile: 2 hours per week Panorama: 0.5 hours per week equals 9.5 hours per week of shows set in stone ITV1 has: Coronation Street: 2.5 hours per week Emerdale: 3 hours per week Tonight: 0.5 hours per week equals 6 hours per week of shows set in stone BBC1 has 3.5 less hours to play with every week in peak time than ITV1. |

b) Prisoner's Wives and Inside men aren't on Sundays.
c) The article is about the BBC's output.. Besides, the old argument used to be that the Beeb spent too much time making grim, unpleasant dramas and not enough time making popular stuff, and if they did stop Call The Midwife to stick something like The Street on Sunday, everyone would moan they were only interested in gritty stuff that got acclaim but no viewers. And why simply slag off the Beeb when just the other day we pointed out how ITV's main brands were all old shows. And Countryfile and Antiques Roadshow are hardly an issue, they're over by 8pm most weeks. |

Jonahan Ross was very heavily trailed this week (including in the middle of both of Friday's Corrie episodes), so that maybe helped its cause.

Does anyone know how the two Arena films on Sonny Rollins on BBC4 did on Friday?

FA Cup Quarter-Final Draw...
Liverpool/Brighton v Stoke City Chelsea/Birmingham v Leicester City Stevenage/Tottenham v Bolton Wanderers Everton v Sunderland Ties to be played on March 17th and 18th. Strange year this year, as I type, the highest placed Premier League team definitely through are Sunderland. |

Rather lacklustre draw for the quarter finals of the cup although ITV do have a good looking replay coming up.

Isnt BBC1s schedule more set in stone? These are the shows BBC1 has in peak time basically every week of the year:
The One Show: 3 hours per week EastEnders: 2 hours per week: Holby/Casualty: 2 hours per week Antiques/Countryfile: 2 hours per week Panorama: 0.5 hours per week equals 9.5 hours per week of shows set in stone ITV1 has: Coronation Street: 2.5 hours per week Emerdale: 3 hours per week Tonight: 0.5 hours per week equals 6 hours per week of shows set in stone BBC1 has 3.5 less hours to play with every week in peak time than ITV1. There's a perfectly reasonable case for having The One Show in that slot most of the year as its cheap and holds up well against Emmerdale. If the Beeb axed The One Show (GeorgeS' ears may have just pricked up) then the Beeb would have to pay a lot more money for spearate shows, which probabaly wouldnt rate as well and reduce the budget for other pre-watershed slots. Antiques Roadshow, Countryfile, Holby and Casualty are all spearate shows that amount to 4 hours a week. And not every week, Casualty isnt on for 12 weeks of the year and AR has only been on in primetime once so far this year, not sure about the other two. Where as, Emmerdale and Corrie amount for 5.5 hours. |

I would say, though, the BBC One schedule is far more varied between 7 and 9 on Mondays, you have TOS, a regional programme, Eastenders and Panaroma, a talk show, a regional feature show, a soap and current affairs, all valid alternatives exceptions for non soap fans. I think ITV very much goes for its core Northern female audience on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and it works for them, in the same way BBC One gets 4 million non soap fans.

I think Lets Dance got pretty much what I predicted, I guessed around 6.7m, so I was close.
Take Me Out never disappoints IMO, to get 5m including +1 weekly is impressive for a show which was written off before it even started two years ago. Harry Hill looks very low. Channel 5 beats Channel 4 again in the weekend. |

This is turning into a cracker of a match on ESPN if anyone's interested. Very lively stuff.

Totally agree with you Georged about ITV, three nights a week the soaps run until 9pm with some cheap factual in between and this stifles any other type of programming. I can remember when yes, you'd have Corrie on at 7.30 on a Monday, but it was preceded by Wish You Were Here and followed by a sitcom and World in Action. Now you get a double helping of the soap, preceded by Emmerdale and a weak factual show opposite Eastenders.
I can remember when 7pm on BBC1 featured programmes like Holiday and Telly Addicts!

And though I feel this new thread came a couple of days too early before the big ratings news tomorrow, something in my gut is telling me that Upstairs Downstairs will flop this series. The comparisons with Downton are inevitable and nothing I've read about it suggests it'll compare favourably. It's kind of coming across too (in the press interviews) as taking itself too seriously, which Downton certainly doesn't - so although for some it'll be a better piece of drama, I just don't think it'll retain the viewers this series.
Also doesn't help that I couldn't name a single character from the first series - unlike Downton where I was familiar with them all. Quote:

Yes imagine what they could be showing if there wasn't so many soaps. 3 hours of a daily magazine and daytime style rubbish like Rip Off Britain and That's Britain maybe?

TV Burp has lost all steam and is now clapped out. If Harry wasn't leaving I would have killed it off.
I stopped watching it years ago. |

Definitely, as a lifelong Reds fan (well since 1979 - age 9), I am waiting for LFC to turn up the heat in the second half. The match may not rate so well on ESPN, but I bet thousands of pubs are busy. Come on Carroll

7 shows over 9.5 hours is a lower number than 3 shows over 6 hours.
Basically though on weekdays BBC1 only really has Wed & Thu 8pm to play with - though 30 of those go to Waterloo Road, while ITV1 only have Tue & Wed 8pm - with about the same number going to football. Both have the half hour filler slots against the soaps where it's more about damage limitation than being competitive. Countryfile and Antiques Roadshow both do a steady job on Sundays - but Call the Midwife shows that when you remove the safety net you can get the rewards - but you need the money to back it up. |

ive always said The One Show could benefit from having a "Tomorrows World correspondent" , not a reporter from the future, but a reporter who does tech stories with Tomorrows World branding.
![]() ![]() Talking of TGS, when is it due to return?? And what did it get at its peak, it seems it was getting sub 1m in its most recent run... |
