Another good BGT show tonight - it was better than last night actually.

Don't know whether it'll hold up at 9m+ or fall below it, but even if it does, Syco and ITV should at least be pleased that the shows themselves are good and much better than the semi finals in the last couple of series. The scheduling clearly needs work though.”

Tonight was very good; probably the strongest semi final so far which surprised me because it looked the weakest on paper. Tomorrow looks weak as well so it'll probably be a good show. Thursday looks like the best semi final though.

The schedule is obviously drawn up to make as much cash as possible, but they could be missing a trick with it.

The only likely explanation would seem to be in OFCOM's ridiculous ad rules.”

You'd end up with only 3 Corrie episodes, not very good for a special week

As this year's schedule is a bit off because of it not being at Spring Bank and the storyline being smaller than usual, I expect next year's Corrie will be back to it being a massive storyline, so they'll probably want the 9pm daily slot.

Sunday at 7.30pm. Monday at 7.30pm. Wednesday at 7.30pm (it'll be airing there anyway shortly). Friday at 7.30pm. Friday at 8.30pm.

One episode of Emmerdale would be lost (Thursdays at 8pm) but made up by an hour long episode either on Tuesday or Thursday.

The Biggest Loser was down around 400k on its finale night last year, a night you'd normally expect Ten to win. But that's no great surprise given how it rated throughout the run. It still found nearly 400k viewers that haven't been following it nightly from somewhere, which isn't a bad end of series boost at all.

Once Upon a Time premieres on Seven next Tuesday in place of the factual, so they'll be hoping that can help fix the deepening ratings problem with Packed to the Rafters. Really low rating for it last night, still suffering from going up against The Voice a couple of weeks ago.

This is not a 'special week' of Corrie. Not in anyway, shape or form. I'm a regular viewer and I would say this week is fairly ordinary for Coronation Street. TBH I've found it quite dull and the storylines certainly don't warrant such a prominent timeslot.

ITV trading update. What it shows is that the revenue impact of decisions to ITV Studios for more productions far outweighs any negative ratings impact in the short term at least. Of course in the longer term ITV Studios needs to up its game in producing ratings hits.

A peak of 9.3 million watched #BGT last night. So that's 2.5 million down on Monday night's show. Averaged only 7.8m. A million less for results show

Audience peaks of 9.7m and 8.2m respectively for last night's two live #BGT shows (figs inc+1).

Pretty poor ratings for BGT.

So who's going to start The Voice style BGT doomed amid ratings crash posts then.

Oops I did sorry

Would be good if both The Voice and BGT crashed and burned by the end of the coming weekend, I would laugh so.

Did anyone see that coming?

Will this make the front page of The Sun 2 days running, or generate 10 pages of comment on here though? Hm, can't see it...

Averaged only 7.8m. That is poor, a significant and unexpected drop. There was premier league action with Liverpool v Chelsea on Sky Sports which could have taken some male viewers away but that drop for BGT is bigger than just a football denting.

Well if BGT needs TV, TV needs BGT even more. Scary how badly it may do without its sparring partner in weeks to come

Anyway it was Tuesday after all. ITV viewers all go out on that night as this thread knows well

Gosh that's just plain weird, BGT did not even have any competition last night. I wonder will it dip further tonight with The Apprentice? Less than 7m for the results show, is that right?
Maybe people are sick of it, I heard people in work yesterday saying that the acts were terrible, some rapper looking for his keys? But that wouldn't explain it as the acts are always terrible.

Very poor figures for Britain's Got Talent. I think they are the lowest figures ever for live shows, can someone confirm?

Yes, the results show had the lowest ever rating for a BGT live show. Previous lowest was 7.5m for last year's Wednesday semi final result against The Apprentice. It's posting 20% y-o-y declines, imagine how low tonight's results show will go!

Ouch, not good for BGT. I'm assuming it was the football that lost viewers.

The Apprentice will only hurt the results show tonight, not the main show.

Thats The Voice level ratings!


Seriously though, can't imagine how it'll do tonight with The Apprentice. Any 8 million+ rating for BGT is considered good to me so thats not 'dire' but it is poor and the drop is shocking!

There have been tweets to this effect.

Be interesting to see how EE and Holby rated. Bodes well for The Apprentice tonight.

As for that 150 minute final... - well!

Seems odd how the ratings have dropped into the 'Dancing on Ice range'.

Viewer fatigue with The Voice and Britain's Got Talent? Kids not staying up late as it is school nights instead of non-school nights when it's usually on?

Either way, I imagine after this series there must be some consideration to scheduling changes. I think the stripped format should say, I don't think the show would work weekly at all.

This was always a danger when they decided to move BGT out of its usual half term week.

They had no other choice. The only other option they could have taken was run it so that the live shows started on Easter Sunday. Although that would have meant the live shows started on 8th April with the auditions beginning on 25th February, the problem with that is that would have been an extremely quick turn-around when the auditions ran in January.

Was there a Royal Wedding only being shown in pubs we don't know about?

Very poor for BGT. That dip is really concerning - I'm really surprised as the auditions were so consistent and the show has been good.
