Was there any news on 16-34 ratings for The Voice and BGT - would be interested to see the breakdowns.

I'd suggest that its the success of The Walking Dead that has done Mad Men no harm. It wouldn't have returned this strongly if AMC hadn't been able to promote it heavily during that. And by the same token Breaking Bad probably wouldn't have seen the growth it did last year if it weren't for the exposure Walking Dead gave the entire network.
On the subject of The Killing. That's a tricky one to predict. I don't think there's going to be the mass desertion of viewers that some do. At least not from the get go. The trouble is going to be getting people to stick with it for the entire season again and to do that they're going to need a great opener and its a show that's yet to produce a great episode. What I find interesting is that they aren't using Mad Men as a lead-in for The Killing. That speaks volumes. Mad Men I think they're planning to end in two years but I think with The Walking Dead being so big, AMC isn't going too worry too much and I imagine they're developing new shows at the moment. Showtime is stepping in on Sundays on April 8th with Nurse Jackie, Big C and The Borgias, I do wonder whether this decision was influenced by the fact that they were not doing well on Mondays and also comedies would serve as a good alternative to GoT. Starz has Magic City on April 6th but whether it'll be successful remains to be seen, looks good though. |

I'd stick the next run of live episodes on at 8pm too - having double episodes at 4pm and 8pm for a week would cut down on costs too. Indeed I think Million Pound Drop has now exhausted it's weekend slot and although competitive I think it would work better airing in 1-2 week stints with episodes at 5pm and 9/10pm.

I've alway wondered why Mad Men wasn't scheduled at 9pm with The Killing at 10pm, the last time AMC had a 9pm show before Mad Men, it got cancelled! I do think they'll resolve the Rosie Larson murder this season so that if it does not return for another season, they'll have wrap up the story. Both the leads have big films coming up so they could renew it and centre around a new case.

I know this is far from a popular opinion but AMC should have let Mad Men die with its fourth season or at least let it be known that they were willing to do that. The deal they signed to keep a poorly rated show alive was staggeringly bad business. They've tied far too much money up with Mad Men at this point and its had a negative impact not only on their development slate (which appears to have becoming worryingly stalled) but also their other shows.

And already renewed for a second season so they'll be hoping it does well. I still think Starz need to sit down and really focus on creating a clearer identity for themselves and their original content because its a bit all over the place at the moment and hard to pin down. Given the relative success of Spartacus I think their best bet might be to hone in on the more over the top almost comic book come to life dramas. But it seems like they're trying to find something that will get them some Emmy love.

Just reading up on Twitter about tonight's Panorama. Sounds really interesting, on the ITV Digital collapse and Murdoch's alleged involvement in it.
Can't wait for this on iPlayer later. |

I've noticed that the 7am morning repeat of Cleverdicks on Sky Atlantic has been dropped and replaced with a Seinfeld double bill (it musn't have been rating well against Kate and Dan and Bill and Susanna). However the lunchtime and evening episodes remain in the usual slots.
Am I seeing a similar scenario to Shortland Street on Living here and Out of the Blue on Fiver, where because of poor ratings, one showing was axed, and then another moved then axed, and it just had one solitary showing a day afterwards? Because, although the other 2 showings of Cleverdicks are safe for now, depending on ratings it'll only be a matter of time before Sky Atlantic put something like Star Trek: The Next Generation at 7pm and just air Cleverdicks at lunchtime, therefore cutting it to 1 airing a day. |

![]() Is that a euphemism?![]() Someone best tell ITV if it is. They thought it was an inspired programme title and have commissioned a 10 part series for Tuesday nights.... Actually they should have aired Titanic on Tuesdays, given their propensity for airing doomed shows on that night with suitably appropriate titles! Quote:

Starz has Noir coming up which is by the producers of Spartacus, they seem to be trying to find the balance between glossy, over the top with sprinklings of nudity, sex and violence with critical acclaimed shows like Boss. Both HBO and Showtime have these sort of shows although HBO seems to go towards the critical darling rather than mainstream shows, |

Just noticed, that with the Voice seeming to be joining Strictly as the BBC's flagship Saturday Night Show, how funny it is that their American counterparts face each other from 8-10 on Monday Nights...

'My Murder' (BBC Three) has been the number 1 trend on Twitter for the last hour, and it's very good, really well made.

How did the Panorama about honour killings do last night on BBC News 24? I found it excellent viewing.

They twisted Noel's arm then! He was very anti the idea of celeb specials at the beginning. Sounds like a potentially good lineup though. And if Noel will be playing, who will be presenting?
Noel's game will be the 2000th show and is separate from the other 8 shows apparently. I just hope they don't put it against Britain's Got Talent or The Voice. |

Itv's Agenda doesnt have any adverts, how do they afford to make this programming without showing adverts?

Must be CF's lowest rating in ages - obviously due to the heatwave and people enjoying their first evening of extended daylight, although the Avatar premiere won't have helped.

Sky Sports' Monday Night Football has (as of tonight) been extended to 11pm, basically to make more use of pundit Gary Neville where viewers ask him questions and he gets extra time for analysis.
Gary Neville is the best thing to happen to football on the telly this season (and last Summer, I NEVER thought I would be saying that). |

Quite an overlaping audience, Avatar and Countryfile.
![]() CF is one of the most popular programmes on telly. The idea that it's nursing home fodder is a nonsense, one only needs to watch the programme to see it is pitched more at an upmarket ABC1 demographic. I suspect you have never watched CF, of course... As for tonight, I can see that One Night is pretty third-rate so far, but does BBC1 have such an embarrassment of primetime riches that they can dump this in a graveyard slot? With Paxman plumbing the sub 3m depths in the flagship slot, could this have really done any worse? |

Agreed, countryfile must be down nearly 2 million. No-one seems to have picked up on this. Extended daylight is good. Hopefully it will have the same effect on other shows, people should be out enjoying it instead of watching TV.

Is that a euphemism?
