There could be very easily be another season or two etc.... A few of us could step forward, I can easily assimilate the spreadsheet data each Tuesday (with a person assigned for emergency back up. I already do this already on occasion just to monitor weekly progress. There probably won't be as many updates as Dan can manage. I think it is important to have a strict 9.30am Tuesday deadline - then no extra work for people to chase up, maybe have at least a Friday update and final Monday update guaranteed - others done as and when possible.

I still hope the game can live on, even if it's not full-time, we could have it return for the odd week for big events and Christmas etc.

3. Coronation Street: 9.0m
4. Britain's Biggest Hoarders: 3.6m

17. The Voice UK Results (BACKUP): 7.1m
18. Planet Earth Live (BACKUP): 5.0m
19. Death in Paradise (BACKUP): 4.1m

The shows with the biggest range in predictions in the main schedule this week are:
1. Emmerdale: 4.5m range (4.2m to 8.7m);
2. The Voice UK: 4.5m range (5.9m to 10.4m);

5. Britain's Got Talent Results: 3.2m range (7.1m to 10.3m).

This week, players will also go head-to-head in order to earn additional points. On top of the usual scoring, players will score an additional point (2 points for a special) every time they get closer to the actual rating than their opponent, regardless of whether or not they are both more than a million away. If they are as close as their opponent, the bonus point(s) will be "rolled over" to the next rating, and so on. Any bonus points remaining at the end will be allocated to the person within the pair with the highest wins up to that point, or if it's a tie, the player to most recently win a head-to-head. Okay, so that's the boring bit out of the way, now for the interesting bit:

The random draw to see who would play who took place earlier and here are the results, with the highest ranked player at present within each pair on the left hand side:

AnthonyC v basdfg
D.M.N. v lemezma
Dancc v grahamzxy
Dar W v clarky323
DimSum v C.M.W.

This is a tricky schedule, also the head to head is a great twist this week. The scoring could be all over the place, but it ought make for an exciting week.

Unbelievable the way ours worked out last night. For EE you predicted 5.7m, me 5.5m. It was actually 5.6m so no score there. For AR we both predicted 4.8m so again no score. You took all 3 points through Corrie which you were much closer on, I thought it would bring in 9.5m.

Agree though, it's a fun twist. A little more effort required on my part but I don't mind. Hope I can bounce back!!

Yes I wondered how I got 3 points, I knew I must have gotten lucky at some point. I never finish above you - so I am expecting you to be 10 points clear of me by Friday morning.

Well I think Dan has won his points back last night GOSH was 1m less than last series. Hoarders broke 4m, I knew it would be popular due to last week's C4 show rating so well, but I held back due to CS/BGT results...oh well

Fear not... I was +0.1m further out the other way.

I managed to claw one back with GOSH, and on the Ch4 show we both predicted 1.6m so that point rolls over to tomorrow. Hoping I can nab two with my Europa prediction which is a tad higher than yours. (1.4m v 1.3m)

I'm sure there's a simple explanation but...Pizza was 2-1 ahead of me yesterday; now's it's 3-3 despite the fact we won one head to head battle each. How come I've got two points to Pizza's one? Is it because I was closer to my winning prediction?
grahamzxy
09-05-2012
This has to be the best week so far, regardless of points won lol. Big thanks to Dan for his data collation - hope you get a 5 soon to climb the table. I have been a numbers geek since I was age 10, I used to check tv ratings 25 years ago in the tabloids (okay and page 3 and 7, hehe)

You both predicted the same for Great Ormond Street (1.2m) so that point rolled over to the next, which you won.

I'll try to make it clearer when people score double points like this in future updates.
