Just skimmed through Waterloo Road on the iPlayer. Can't help but wonder if they wanted to make the move to Scotland seem more realistic by adding as many unrealistic things into the episode as possible. The whole thing was ridiculous.

Good news for Dancc, looks like one of channel 5's programmes is getting a primetime slot in Australia; The Hotel Inspector. Saturday nights at 7.30 from 12th May so not the best slot, but Graham Norton does really well on a saturday night at 8.30 so perhaps it will do ok?

Waterloo Road is a BBC Scotland commission and yet had nothing to do with Scotland. So the BBC are accused of giving the programme to Scotland just to fiddle the figures - like relocating In It To Win It to Scotland. Did the Weakest Link go up there as well? Points Of View (or is that still BBC Birmingham?) The sitcoms The Old Guys and Life Of Reilly were also BBC Scotland commissions for programmes that had nothing to do with Scotland.
Casualty is set in the ficticious town of Holby which may at one point in his history have been a suburb of Bristol. But Holby City is also set in Holby (surprisingly |

My problem with moving Casualty (and Being Human for that matter) to Cardiff was the argument of spreading BBC Drama's to the regions, I thought Bristol was already in one of the regions, how was moving it to Casualty going to help anything.

Good decision to recommission The Syndicate. I understand what people were saying about it being a self contained story but there are always ways around that, and I think they would have been mad not to bring it back.
I read somewhere recently that ITV are developing a second series of Marchlands as well which was also originally self contained but proved to be quite popular. |

How long does it take to film an episode of The Royle Family? I dont think it will be coming back this year because Ricky Tomlinsons doing a new comedy for Itv1: http://www.chortle.co.uk/news/2012/0...l_tovey_sitcom
Also ABC in America want to rename 'Only Fools and Horses' to something else for their remake. They have two suggestions so far: Only Fools and Kings of Van Nuys, in reference to the Los Angeles district replacing Peckham in the remake. Both are rubbish titles if you ask me. If you have better names for it, go to Modern Family's facebook page and give your ideas there cos ABC are asking fans to give suggestions. |

Decent finale ratings for Waterloo Road. It looks like it has maintained high enough ratings this series to be in with a chance after the move to Scotland. I think they handled the story reasonably well (the lorry incident was a step to far for me though), and at least making it a boarding school explains how some of the kids can stay in the show without all their families uprooting. The boarding school should also open up opportunities for fresh storylines too.
Elsewhere great rating for the football on ITV1. A rare occasion that an all foreign tie rates so well and really hypes up expectations for the final next month. The Apprentice also did well against such stiff opposition, particularly as the demographics would both skew young. |

The school has moved to Scotland (and a different educational system) because BBC Scotland has taken over the programme ? Does that mean every programme made by BBC Scotland/Wales/Northern Ireland has to be set and filmed in those respective countries ? Surely the programme could have remained in Rochdale with a different production team but keeping the same characters and actors ?

And Sue Johnston is joining Coronation Street. However, I can't imagine it takes very long to film an episode - they only use a couple of sets at the most. If they get all the cast together I doubt it takes more than a few days to shoot.
Just depends if there's a script! ![]() But with 12m viewers, you can see why. |

ITV do seem determined to ensure there won't be any more Royle Families, despite the fact they make it for the BBC...

It seems that Ch4 and Ch5 both beat BBC2 last night, and NCIS does really well for them, and if they do have to say bye to some of the CSI's next year, at least they know NCIS is stable...

Silk Starts the week of the 12-18th May according the BBC press office update, no doubt on Tuesday I would have thought.
