Nah, I don't think so. I reckon it'll get 10-12m, partly because of the length of time for the slot. But of course, it's an unprecedented event ratings wise so we just don't know. Maybe a peak of 15m is achievable though

I am. I was here at 9.30. You turn up at 1pm. Look at yourself first before casting aspersions...

And of course good to see ITV1 get the 2nd highest rating of the day

Hmm, this is a bit odd because it was already scheduled to be repeated on Tuesday at ten, which is a more familiar Cutting Edge slot, so I wonder why they bothered with the Sunday showing anyway.

I've said this before but C4's 10pm slots are atrocious, with news on BBC1 and ITV and BBC2 stuck with showing half hour programmes because of Newsnight it should be a brilliant slot for them, they should be showcasing all their best stuff there and dragging audiences across. And this week at 10pm we have 8 Out of 10 Cats (repeated from the exact same slot on Friday), Lifers (repeated from Sunday), A Short History of Everything Else (bloody awful) and 24 Hours in A&E (repeated from 9pm the previous day). Dreadful. They excert more effort at 10am.

Thanks, I thought so too Cylon6

Some of the posts on here trying to spin a negative story about last night's stellar ratings are absolute twaddle.

No wonder its quiet if posts have to be pre-approved before submitting Must be stuck in Robbie MacSykes inbox as he coaches Andy Murray on feigning injury until teatime when the ratings will be higher

Source: BARB. Excludes +1, Includes HD for Terrestrial Chart. Only 1 programme per 'show', i.e. only one Ford Super Sunday game. Full Euro 2012 programme averages.

I think so too. The opening ceremony is easily the biggest event ever held in the UK and will be massively hyped. The buzz will be incredible. No-one will want to miss it.

Why is CBBC on BBC2 on until 5.50pm?

Surley it could have ended at 5.15 as usual and they could have had Pointless or Money Where Your Mouth Is?

Another Brookside episode had the Farnhams visit Manchester and they filmed them on Quay Street outside the Granada studios talking about autograph hunting the cast of Corrie!

Got to say 872k for BB is far higher than I expected. I expected 650k if it had finished normal time and when it went to the penalties, I expected BB to go below 500k. So 872k is respectable. It was an all time low, but only by around 15k. Tonight BB should be back to the 1.4m.

I mean, Look how bad Ch4 sank. Shows were below BB.

Now for the main rating. Colossal figure for the match, but expected when it went to e.t and penalties. 23.2m peak is huge in this day and age. I knew it would be a massive ratings. Amongst Italians living in England (and there's a lot, incl me), it was sort of like the biggest game we could possibly watch, so the penalties would have had every Italian and English viewer watching through their hands.

One problem may be the ceremony doesn't start until 9 pm London time.

Anyone got ratings for Saturdays Big Brother??

The only thing holding back the ratings will be the factor of it being the first full week of the school summer holidays, so many families etc. will be away.

As Barb updated, does anyone have the BB officials for some of those days (incl +1)? As I see Ch5+1 is not showing on BARB.

That's weird for the repeat to be ahead of the new episode by that much.

Attack the Block's 1.5m rating seems pretty good considering half of it clashed with the football, and not many people are going to start watching it half way through.

Re the Olympic Opening Ceremony, I reckon big, big figures. fair bit as the show goes on, as it doesn't finish until around midnight

I don't think that's time checked as Rihanna didn't end till 11.15!?

I'm fairly sure Rhianna didn't finish until 11.15pm.

Do you think you will find Italy's next game as exciting? Everyone I speak to seems to think it'll be a very one-sided affair. But then what do they know

Do we have any figures for Primeval and You Cannot Be Serious on Saturday? Interested to see how low this mini-flopzone went in even earlier slots than the previous week.

Oh, yes. Once Upon a Time you little beauty. Just when you think it's running out of steam, BANG it increases again...

Latest Episode #12: 'Skin Deep' (SUN 17 JUNE 2002) 1.89m
Previous Episode #11: 'Fruit of the Poisonous Tree' (SUN 10 JUNE 2002) 1.65m

Excluding +1 (which we don't have) it was the most watched episode since Episode 4 'The Price of Gold' which was broadcast on April 22.

I think it'll probably be closer to 1am. IIRC Both Sydney (2000) & Beijing came in at roughly 4 hours and Athens (2004) 3 and a half.
Which is why I think the special pre show from 20.12 to 21.00 could average higher than the opening ceremony.

I think i'll have a nap during the parade of Nations

Not as exciting. I think all of Italians expect Germany to win. But England thought it was a one sided affair on the papers against Italy, how wrong they were.
