Weren't the last two basically the same commission? To be fair, whilst what you say is true, even Ratings Thread hero Cowell has had his fair share of flops. I admire Chris' creative spirit and I'm sure he will hit the spot soon.

Yep, but that was before TFI, 1994, if that doesn't make you feel depressingly old.

As someone who knows next to nothing about football, I'm amazed that England seem to have better odds than Italy for winning the tournament. Have Italy gone really crap or something?

I think it will all blow over now. The series is finished and it will probably return as per usual. Although, I don't know why because I think the show is well past its best.
As far as the ratings goes, its scheduling does leave loads to be desired, sometimes you have one series a year, sometimes three, sometimes it's on for six weeks, sometimes twelve, sometimes it's at nine, sometimes at 10.30, sometimes it's half an hour, sometimes it's fifty minutes, C4 just seem to whack it out whenever they had awkward gaps in the schedules, so it's no surprise the ratings fluctuate as massively as they do.

Promo for Mad, Mad World. Begins 22:20 next Saturday on ITV1. That went:
a) under the radar b) into the graveyard It's better to put it on in a post-watershed slot because panel games are not primetime Saturday night viewing, Odd One In and The Marriage Ref both proved that. It is still cast adrift on a Saturday, though, and also looks bloody awful. But then, I am the only person I thought The Marriage Ref could have worked (with a different slot, presenter, panellists and focus, natch). Quote:
Well the C5 of 10 years ago worked with Chris...on yes, a raft of new entertainment commissions. It brought us 'The Terry and Gaby Show' (flop); 'Live with Chris Moyles' (flop); and 'Live with Christian o'Connell' (flop). At the same time the gameshow he sold to C4, 'Boys and Girls' was a mega-flop.
Whatever Evans had in the 90s, he hasn't got now. He's a completely overrated producer as his CV shows. |

Spanish ratings are in last night, football got 10,4m viewers and a 76% share on Telecinco. The peak was 12.6m and 84.3%.
That was 4 million down on their game v Croatia, the article below puts that down to people watching in bars etc, as it was on a Saturday night. http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2012/0...340538248.html French ratings are also in and they aren't that impressive really. TF1 averaged 11.3m (52% share), with a peak of 13m. |

Italy have won 4 world cups and 1 Euro England have won 1 world cup and no Euro's. So it baffles me why the Eng team and everyone in the country is so cocksure that England will win. Italy won the WC in 2006, England won in 1966. Says it all. |

Forza Italia. That is all
![]() ![]() Also it annoys me. You read the newspapers here and there are things like "Pizza Cake" (Piece of Cake) and that England will defeat the Italians. And then you look at Italian TV/newspapers and they all say how they respect the English and like them and think England are a very good team..... I think England are coming off really bad in this. |

Bookies odds are based on what money is going on, if Idjit English punters are piling on Roy, that's how it will go.

Salvatore, this Italian team is rubbish compared to what theyve had in the past. Some of those players like Buffon have allegedly been involved with corruption and match fixing so why shuold the English tabloids give them respect? They will get beaten tonight by the mighty England.

Italy won the WC in 2006, England won in 1966. Says it all. I think tonight's match is interesting - an England team who many came in with low expectations, with a manager who many saw as the 'cheap' option after Capello but now are perceived to be on the rise with a group win (no matter how dubious some of the matches may have been) and some pretty good performances. Italy have a slightly worse track record in their games (WDD) and didn't win their group. I don't think England have it easy at all - they're going to have to do some special stuff tonight to beat the Italians, but the odds in this tournament so far are for them. |

England have nothing to get cocky about. It's always the same. Maybe they can get cocky when they win and stop going on about winning 46 years ago. |

I know they are not as good, but why underestimate a team that have won 3 more WC than you + a Euro Cup?

It doesn't matter how brilliant BB is. There is a very large % of the country who would not be caught dead watching it, no matter how good the word of mouth is. It has a very hardcore audience that won't budge. The days of BB getting over 3m are OVER, no matter how good it is. CBB still has the potential to go over 3m though, which last series proved.
Also those who don't watch tend to be over 35 . I know most people who watch it seem to watch it are young women and teenagers, same as most reality shows. They just don't seem to click with men and older people. |

Nottingham Forest have won the European Cup twice before, which is two more than Arsenal have. That doesnt mean Arsenal should be afraid of Nottingam Forest if they played today. Whats happened in the past stays in the past and based on current form, England shuold be confident playing Italy. Also I dont think the English tabloids said anything bad about France or Sweden this year.
I don't think England have changed from 2008-2010 in 2012. Yes, they should have high spirits and be patriotic BUT to be so sure to beat Italy is a bit far fetched... a poll conducted on FB said that 76% of people believe England will win the Euro's. That's a very high amount for a team that has never won a Euro Cup, and Germany, 11% to win (when they have won 3 times). They could be at least realistic. |

I agree, Salv, I do sometimes look at the BB board and laugh at some of the obsessives who post about the person who came second last in BB 3- like hardly anyone else will remember. Only the hardcore fans seem bothered about it now.
Also those who don't watch tend to be over 35 . I know most people who watch it seem to watch it are young women and teenagers, same as most reality shows. They just don't seem to click with men and older people. I think Ch5 have done very well with BB IMO (except for you know what). I think BB12, CBB9 and so far BB13 have been improvements than most of the last years on Ch4. |
