I can only remember Ballykissangel repeats airing on Wednesdays. The final series started on a Thursday night, but it returned to Sundays from episode two onwards.

I was sure Ballykissangel moved to Wednesdays, but obviously others remember otherwise. Perhaps it was something else then - frankly these Sunday dramas do all merge into one.

As for Wild at Heart relocating here - might save costs, but they'd probably run into all sorts of problems with filming with wild animals. The government are certainly wanting to ban them completely from circuses now - not sure if the current legislation covers other areas but I suspect it may be easy to film in South Africa than set up a series based on a safari park over here.

And interesting to see a production of Phanton of the Opera on C5 - not something anyone would expect.

New thread!

As for WAH, don't a lot of TV drama film in South Africa because it's much cheaper than filming in the UK, I'm sure if the tax breaks comes in then a lot of shows will film in the UK.

I think Born and Bred moved to Wednesdays.

DS were later than usual to update as well so that might be another reason why they didn't get posted.
Ah, okay, thanks probably why.

I would have thought it would have ended up on BBC Two or BBC Four, still good for C5.

I was a bit shocked to see it in the line up as well.

BBC Breakfast is just dominant over Daybreak, all ITV can do now is pray once Breakfast moves to Salford it will misstep and fall over, which I dont see happening.

Its a wonder the hosts of Daybreak can ever find the enthusiasm to get up at 2am, to present it.

I suppose even Kate and William presenting Daybreak couldn't save it. As has been said before, maybe just show news and repeats between 6.30 and 8.30. The format is just a failed version of GMTV.

Yeah the last series was on Wednesday's where it flopped.

Breakfast took a small bump from Sian's last day, then. Be interesting to see if anything happens to the numbers now. I don't expect so. Changing hosts hasn't really changed Daybreak's fortunes, for better or for worse.

Poor start for Love Life last night, though I don't think that was a surprise to anyone. Masterchef did well, though the peak is nearly a million down from last years final (average down 0.3m) - which aired in April and had 6m+ rated opposition from a Barcelona-Real Madrid CL tie. Some of MasterChef's ratings have seemed a little lacklustre this time around, hovering in the low-4's quite often. I know it's demographics are rather good for the channel so that might help it, but I've a nagging sense it ought to be doing better given the discussion it seems to generate and the new 9pm scheduling they adopted last year. I'll try and remember to do a proper year-on-year comparison with the officials when they emerge.

For the others, White Heat really suffered as all BBC2 dramas seem to do in their second episode. Crimson Petal and the White, The Hour, and The Shadow Line all experienced similar things last year - though not quite that low. The channel seems to do really well with one-off dramas and even series launches too, but has a harder time pinning people down for a full run that would really make the noise their drama investment deserves. For Channel 4, pretty uninspiring for the latest Mary Portas format. Another expensive factual star transfer that has just resulted in a series of vaguely similar formats pulling slightly less impressive ratings with each series… Whats the point?

I imagine when they moved Masterchef to BBC One, they thought it would become like The Apprentice, it rates well but nowhere like the Australian version.

I think BBC Two needs more populist drama but I imagine if they do that, there is a risk it'll be poached by BBC One.

after what was said about Cillia Black getting 18 million, does anyone fancy a ratings experiment?

BBC 1 or ITV 1, air a final episode of The Cilia Show, and see if it could get 18 million now.

Breakfast is probably (well, definately) far less about the hosts than Daybreak anyway, and Susannah has been a very frequent face on Breakfast over the last year anyhow - and has already hit the headlines more than her peers over the last couple of years anyway.

If anyone does benefit from Breakfast going to Salford it will be Lorraine as I see the 8.30-9.15pm slot which relies on guests being the biggest problem with the move out of London. It doesn't matter too much with the news based content doing satellite interviews, but they can't really do that with the celebrity interviews.

Yes it will be interesting to see what happens. I have always been surprised at how celebrity heavy that 8.30 to 9.15 segment has been on Breakfast. Admittedly most are trying to flog something, but sometimes they have been lining up for 10 minute segments in a way that night have been more expected on ITV.
Hats off to the Breakfast team though, its remains true to news but there is that necessary bit of informality which enabled the first BBC breakfast show to steam ahead of TVAM when muesli wars first broke out in the eighties.

Front page of tomorrows Mirror features a sheepish Paddy McGuinness and the headline "Fake Me Out" - seems ITV's Saturday night also-ran is a sham?

Good news for Watch.

Reports suggesting that NBC has just picked up a 22 episode second season of Grimm.

Who cares? It is good entertainment and he has good one liners and it beats everything else on at that time, there is hardly going to be a public outcry

Just read back...am I really anti-BBC/pro ITV?

I'm anti-The Voice on BBC One, I don't deny that but overall I didn't realise I was that anti-BBC/pro ITV.

Last night - Love Life held up better than I expectyed considering the dire reviews; it could've been much lower but I'm sure it will be come next week; even against John Bishop. MasterChef performed very well for the final but the soaps had a very lacklustre night - maybe everyone held barbecues in the evening?

Sky One's Strike Back films there for that reason.
The BBC's Women in Love was filmed in SA too, even though set in the UK.

For Sky1's The Take, set in London, they built a Soho street set and filmed the show entirely in SA. The first Martina Cole also set in London was filmed in the ROI.

Also, season three of Sky1's Mad Dogs set in Morocco is currently being filmed in SA.

I notice BBC 1 is nearly a hold day of Sport again but it should do OK.
