Just to clarify, that's in the 18-49 demo not total viewers.

I'm pretty sure they won't do a combined show, especially after it didn't work on Strictly the year they did one. If they're doing 10 performances in the battle round shows in 90 mins then I guess that'll be the length they'll go for. Worth noting that the US show's first series also had group performances included in those 90 mins (actually probably closer to 80 mins) which could be shifted to the results shows, which I'd run on Sundays, probably for 45 mins with group performances, guests etc, a bit like XF's Sunday show. It'd rate better on Sundays than late on Saturdays and would benefit their schedule as a whole more by boosting Sundays. Seems a no brainer to me.
I think that works well but I've given up hope of it happening. |

If they went for a combined show (which I agree seems unlikely now the show has proven successful) then it wouldn't be the same structure as the combined Strictly show. The vote would take place over the week with acts being eliminated on the next live show. The alternating between different coaches teams structure of the live shows allows that. So they wouldn't have to find 15-30 minutes filler whilst the vote lines were open and votes counted etc.
I think that works well but I've given up hope of it happening. Not that it matters though as I doubt they'll do a combined show at all. |

5.4m for The Syndicate
3m for Mighty Mississippi (3.3m inc +1) Elsewhere, BBC Breakfast's move to Salford had no discernible ratings effect. It averaged 1.4m against 600,000 for Daybreak. This thread seems to have become a BGT V the Voice one. You would think that they are the only shows in town |

I think the plan was for the Late Late to run past Christmas 1986 but it didn't for obvious reasons.

Loads of lottery quizzes have flopped, though, like This Time Tomorrow and Millionaire Manor (which had a ridiculously long run, about sixteen weeks).

Lorraine at 8.30am had 1.1 million. The sooner she gets to front the show, the better. It might be the only way to save Daybreak now.

You would think that they are the only shows in town 1) The main reasons that Lorraine regularly scores a higher average are: it's shorter, and it's on at a time when more viewers are around. The difference in terms of audience share (18% v 17.1%) isn't that great. 2) Lorraine's show was presented by Helen Fospero yesterday. |

This should have happened ages ago. So many stories being written now about ITV moving BGT and it's an embarrassment that could have been avoided much sooner. We all told them!

In fairness they could have easily juggled the schedule and aired Take Me Out earlier. Especially after seeing that the later slot and Talent lead-in wasn't helping Take Me Out and how badly that Voice clash was denting Talent.

Something that seems to have slipped under the radar:
Source: TV Scoops So ITV have FINALLY commissioned a new sitcom series. Took them long enough! No idea what it's about or when it will air, although if it's filming now I expect it'll air in the Autumn. ![]() They're actually good writers, though. They just direct their scripts to death. |

Lorraine always gets around the one million mark plus when she is on anyway and people also like Helen it seems so she should continue to cover when Lorraine is off. Also, Lorraine has maintained a good audience since the beginning and she does seem to have a following. I am not a fan though. I take your first point.

Phil then went to some lengths to plug the new series and revealed some of what is going to happen - with details about more than one contestant, up to and including in one case how many lives they use up and what they went on to do.

The fact that Lorraine's stand-in is bringing in about as many viewers as Lorraine does not really support your argument that she could turn things around at Daybreak.

![]() They're actually good writers, though. They just direct their scripts to death. Either way 8.30pm is going to be a disaster zone for ITV1. Emmerdale appears to offer little in way of lead in at 8pm - Coronation Street is consistently down compared to Monday and Friday's - and the comedies are going to be swallowed up by the 60 minute show on BBC One. They'd be better off scheduling it in one of the Coronation Street sandwiches opposite EastEnders in my opinion - there would be less expectation and a better lead in and lead out. |

On This Morning today they had the Sun entertainment chappy doing a slot promoting the best new TV this week including the new series of The Cube with Phil Schofield sat there talking to him about his own show.

This is certainly a novel way of promoting a game show and I suspect something to do with ITV pushing for better ratings in its new slot. |

I suppose that'll depend on how the next 9 episodes do. From the little I've seen of it, a large proportion of an episode seems to consist of Kiefer Sutherland chasing after his son (count the number of times he yells "Jake!").

They should've kept a 15 minute clash. In a 75 minute show it's nothing and with the same ad break pattern of 31st March (start dead at 8.15pm; no break until 8.30pm) it should be enough to keep it ahead of The Voice without making Britain's Got Talent look pathetically weak - which is how it looks now. Yes, the ratings look ok for the moment but we'll see what happens on Saturday now The Voice is the scheduling king of Saturday night.
Quote:
Against The Voice you mean? People are already (understandably) prophesising the collapse of The Cube; what would Take Me Out have done opposite it? Down to 3m at the very least, probably. Instead, Britain's Got Talent maintained around 6m viewers and Take Me Out stayed above the 4m mark.
The Cube tends to do better when it follows a popular show. Not sure it'll do well at all against The Voice.

It's ITV's scheduling incompetence that caused this mess. The first 20 minutes dragged BGT's average down and still would have meant it would have less viewers during a clash. It's still enough to dent it and has been for several weeks

Don't forget The People's Quiz which rated so badly, The National Lottery wanted nothing to do with them and pulled the branding half way through the series.
There was also Guestimation [the other Nick Knowles lottery show] which also flopped. The second series of 'Come and Have a go (if you think you're smart enough)?'' adopted the lottery branding but it failed to boost it. |

It will be interesting to see if BBC One carries on with hour-long programmes on Thursdays at 8pm. I could understand Watchdog continuing as it is, but a lot of the other hour-long shows haven't been very inspiring.
