Good rating for Peter Kay Live and Derek did okay after that. I think Channel4 will give it a whole series. Quote:
Wait, you're calling me a BBC fanboy? And using The Voice as a reason? Sorry, but genuinely 'lol'.
If it wasn't for The Voice's high ratings, I would be criticising the BBC for spending £22m on the program especially considering what they effectively chopped in half for it.... oh, I see you didn't consider that when calling me a 'fanboy'. Nevermind. |

Peter Kay is not nearly enough of a northern caricature, and he's not female. Quote:

After a few weeks when viewers find it, I should expect it will beat whatever CITV currently rates in that slot.

Channel 5 HD 10:00pm-11:30pm (1 hour 30 minutes) Sat 14 Apr Just a heads up here for this tomorrow, it wasn't on the RPG so it passed me by until someone mentioned it was on. Should be good for 1m viewers for 5, it is up against Match of the Day and Fast & Furious.
Tyson Fury v Martin Rogan Live coverage of the bout for the vacant Irish Heavyweight title, which is being staged at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast |

I see they are showing mixed martial arts after the boxing, which is a good use of the lead-in if nothing else. |

Provisional schedule for Saturday 28th April indicates that there could be an overlap between BGT and TVUK but the other way round:
BBC One 18:00 - TBA 19:00 - The Voice 20:30 - Lottery 20:45 - Casualty 21:35 - TBA <-- could be The Voice results 22:05 - BBC News 22:25 - MOTD ITV1 18:15 - Lemonaid 19:00 - YBF! 19:30 - The Cube 20:30 - BGT 21:50 - TBA (Thanks to Doc12 for above info) The final 15 minutes of Britain's Got Talent could crossover with the first 15 minutes of The Voice Uk's results. If I was BBC One, I would switch BBC News and TVUK around so BBC News airs from 9.35-9.50pm with TVUK Results at 9.50-10.20pm to ensure TVUK starts as soon as BGT finishes. |

Some bad news for Fox in the US their Seth MacFarlane helmed Flintstones reboot has been (somewhat predictably) sidelined because of MacFarlane's schedule. The project is still moving ahead but won't make the previously announced 2013 debut date. This might very well force Fox to bite the bullet and pay up for another season of The Simpsons.
Although you have to wonder why nobody saw this coming. Not only is MarFarlane an executive producer for Family Guy, American Dad and The Cleveland Show he also provides voices for two of them and has just written and directed a live action film (Ted) where he also provides a voice for one of the lead characters and is servicing as an executive producer (and narrator) for the new series of Cosmos which is slated for 2013 and is launching a music career. How, exactly, anyone thought he was going to fit The Flintstones into all of that I don't know. At this stage Fox could probably do themselves and him a favour by cancelling one of American Dad or Cleveland. |

Every programme tomorrow from 9.30 to 5.05 is american, bar 10 minutes of news. On Sunday from 9.30 to 5 every programme is a repeat bar 10 minutes of news. How is this making an effort in any way? It's very sad to see what has become of ITV weekend daytimes. It's poorer than many digital channels. For what is one of the two biggest British channels, ITV's flagship, its more than a little embarrassing. They don't have to invest huge sums of money - but they can and should be doing so much better. |

Also of interest the following night, BBC One have a 'TBA' at 8.30 on Sunday for 30 minutes following on from Antiques Roadshow. Trying to keep ITV guessing as to whether the results will be on Saturday or Sunday?

I didn't think the BBC could air Match of the Day for one match away from Match Of The Day 2 on Sunday's? Wasn't that the reason used when they only aired one highlights show across Christmas week (the first match night) even though there were games over three days? I may be remembering it wrongly.

Could they not just do a live show on Sunday? Although a live 30 minute show on Sunday seems a little pointless admittedly.
I know they don't for Strictly but I assumed that was (in part) because of how the celebrities are contracted for the series and because Len and Bruno had to be a on a plane so they could do the US version on Monday. Those issues won't be in place for The Voice. |

Then again, 9.50pm seems too late a time to start and they really shouldn't start it while Britain's Got Talent is on air - they need to learn the lesson from ITV's aborted attempt. |

ITV are at a bit of a disadvantage again though because they will have to take a commercial break around the time The Voice's results show is currently scheduled to start.

ITV1's Long Lost Family returns with 4.9m (5.1m inc +1)
BBC1's 9pm Panorama special on 'ivory wars' predictably bombs with 2.3m. A brilliant figure for Long Lost Family - it'll be interesting to see if the revived Surprise Surprise can match it. Quote:
Ricky Gervais' Derek was seen by 1.86m (9.2%) on C4 last night. Another 246k (2.1%) watched on C4+1
Peter Kay averages 3.3m (with +1) Source: Michael Rosser Quote:
Which makes you wonder why Channel 4 (or anyone else for that matter) aren't offering the man bundles of cash to make something new for them. You'd think a new Peter Kay vehicle would be the perfect thing to build a new comedy night or block around wouldn't you...

BBC1 is going to have a similar problem now on Sunday afternoons with the EastEnders omnibus axed from the slot and end up being filmed with more comedy repeats and lifestyle repeats. |

I suspect if The Voice stays where it is then BGT's final break would be just before The Voice starts, with the show coming back on air around 9:31/9:32 ish. They'd probably run right until 9:49/9:50 too rather than ending 5 minutes early. I doubt BBC1 will keep The Voice there though - I think they'll do as rzt suggested and swap it with the news.

Exactly. This is what removing their basic commitments has done - it's stripped the schedule of any kind of structure. OK, it may have cost more but kids shows on Saturday mornings and a mixture of kids, religious, political and regional shows on Sundays meant people knew what they were getting from ITV at the weekend. The current line up may be cheap as chips but surely it isn't what advertisers are looking for. I believe that Saturday morning kids/family market which was there for so long is still there now - and if ITV gave advertisers the chance to tap into it they could reap the rewards.

If you aren't watching Soccer Saturday or live sport, surely the only audience is the type who would find a repeat of Murder She Wrote perfectly acceptable. If the Saturday morning kids audience is still there, it'd be best to let someone else try it to have lower expectations of success or don't have to rely on advertising (i.e any of the other 4 terrestrials), none of them are doing anything special. |

I think Apprentice is holding up ok really. It just isn't picking up as many casual viewers due to tougher ITV1 competition. Can't remember what ITV were putting up last year, but IIRC it was a flop in relative terms. This year, Apprentice has contended with a new Midsomer (with an hour head start), Champions League football - and when it had a Foyles War repeat this week, the overnights shot back up by 0.5m to 7m.
Last year the first four episodes faced 'Home is where the heart is', the National Movie Awards, the Soap Awards and a new Midsomer Murders Both line ups seem to be equally tough and weak so your excuse doesn't really hold up. Imagine if The Apprentice was an ITV show that had seen year on year decline? |
