Well done Roscoe Barnes

Lion you do pretty well for a non Brit - you average 29 points each week (almost 2 for each show), we have a slight advantage as we know almost instantly how some shows are going to fare, we can see the rubbish a mile off

(this can fail on us occasionally.)

Thank you. Yes. Some shows I never heard about.

But it makes fun when I get points for some of this shows.

I think Lion will be much happier this morning following last night's ratings. I was 0.1m away x 2.....ouch!!

It is nice to be in the top half of a leaderboard, at least for a day or two.

There you go, Lion_60! You've already put last week well behind you with the best possible start.

Me on the other hand, a dismal start in last place. This is going to be a tough week because I'm not at all confident on how much appetite there's going to be for the sheer volume of jubilee related programmes that are on, and already on day 1 I was caught out by The Queen which I thought would do better than ITV's usual shows in that slot.

Lion_60

30-05-2012

Unbelievable.

Real good start.

Dancc- according to Broadcast, Springwatch on Monday had 2.4m (inc HD).

Dancc

Thanks. Pretty annoying how Attentional post BBC Two ratings on their blog that exclude HD. I can kind of forgive DS.

I'll fix that in the update later.

Apprentice got 6.15 and I predicted 6.2

Roscoe Barnes

Dan - for some reason you've added in inc. +1 for Desperate Housewives. My schedule I sent you was excluding +1.

Normally but in this case it was reported as 6.1 by a few sites. Sorry!

Yeah, sorry. Didn't want to have to void it so just making sure. More chance of the +1 included rating being reported through C4 Sales. I know it normally is anyway but just to be on the safe side. Hope you don't mind, I thought this would be better.

Well I would be shocked if its not reported anywhere exc/inc. +1 as its the last ever episode...

Well, sorry, I didn't think it was that big a deal, especially as you listed Revenge as inc. +1 and a show on ITV.

If anything the +1 included rating is more interesting to predict as there's a greater potential range.

Anyway, only a few more weeks left of me doing this so no worries. Hopefully somebody more competent will be running things soon, you never know.
