That looks really good - I'd go as far as saying it'd be their best Christmas Day lineup for a few years now. Loads of comedy which is a great thing as they didn't quite have enough last year. Strictly seems a bit wasted at 5:30pm but I can't think of anything else that could go there and rate better. I doubt they'll do it but I'd like to see a Merlin Christmas special. It'd suit that slot nicely and rate very well, as it gets 7m+ against TXF so deserves a special in my view.
I've just remembered they've also got a Call The Midwife Christmas special. It could be quite difficult to schedule that on the main day as unlike Strictly they'd probably be very reluctant to put it against Corrie, and then there's Downton in the way too. It could go on the Sunday before Xmas, or indeed on Christmas Eve or Boxing Day in a plum slot. Nothing wrong with a bit of Christmas schedule talk in the middle of Summer - I'm sure it started earlier in the year last year anyway! ![]() |

the BBC should air a two part Doctor Who story in a schedule like this
17:30 - Family Comedy (possibly from Pixar) 18:45 - BBC News 17:00 - Strictly 18:00 - Doctor Who 19:00 - EastEnders 20:00 - Doctor Who 21:00 - Comedy 21:30 - Sherlock Christmas Special 23:00 - BBC News It would be awesome |

I think people underestimate the amount of males watching BB. Also the TARGET audience would choose the footie over BB. All the teens were watching the match (hence why the BB twitter feed was completely silent pretty much last night). I'm sure the men/women gap is smaller than people think. I'm sure that it was 63%/37% split in a breakdown I saw not long ago. 37% is quite a large % for a show like BB. Also BB was knocked down around 40% last night, so it makes sense. Some people expect a 90% female skew and 10% male. It's not that over dramatic.
I do think reality is far more likely to be watched by women than men as the nature of the shows seem to be aimed at women like NTM. |

Nice schedule, but past experience tells me not to bet on Royle Family being ready, and Comedy Roadshows are few and far between.

True, I can remember schedule talk started pretty early. It is really difficult to call this year, and with Downton on ITV its hard to say what the BBC will do.

Absolutely brilliant ratings for the England game (even if it didn't go our way). The match average of 20.3m is fantastic. A breakdown would be very interesting indeed. If they'd have got through, the semi-final would have pulled in some huge figures. Guess we'll never know now, but looks like that match will be the most watched show of 2012 for sure now!

BBC One will be as sad as the nation as a whole about the England result considering the rating the German match would've drawn considering how many people watched last night - what a sublime rating. As someone's already said, it says a lot that ITV1 held up better than it usually does on a bog standard Tuesday night though Emmerdale took a hit. I think ITV's scheduling of the soaps this tournament has been atrocious. Big Brother did ok considering the opposition; I thought it may sink slightly lower than that.

It looks like they are splitting the officials, so the match average goes from the first whistle to the final penalty kick.

. 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 ![]() I think it'll rate well but don't think it'll peak over 20m and certainly won't match the average from last night - I'd say 13m-15m average with a peak of around 17-18m. |

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. Fudd, I don't think their scheduling of the soaps has been that bad. It's clever to hold back the Corries so that it can stay in the Wednesday slot as well as the Thursday one for a few weeks to get viewers ready for the switch. Emmerdale shouldn't have been put against the England match. |

I agree with the FM regarding Mrs Browns Boys. That should easily be in the top two rated shows of Christams Day.

One problem may be the ceremony doesn't start until 9 pm London time.
Coverage will be on BBC1 from 7pm or 7.30pm, so it will build it's audience from then - and it's a Friday night, it's not like most people have to be at work the next morning. Even if the audience peaks at the start rather than the end, it will still have a massive audience. |

I wouldn't bet against them splitting out extra time and possibly penalities too. If the BBC are doing averages for the matches only it should be based from the opening sting to the closing sting really.
Yes, the two hour parade of nations is a chore for even the most dedicated Olympics fan. I remember back in Atlanta when the games were overnight I quite conveninently managed to fall asleep as the parade began and wake up in time for the torch lighting at the end. I think it'll rate well but don't think it'll peak over 20m and certainly won't match the average from last night - I'd say 13m-15m average with a peak of around 17-18m. |

It will have done but it would still, I would think (it was to me) be less of a big deal to miss it for BB (where BB fans) than it would have been if it were their own national sides playing or if they were English (Wales have never qualified).
I can't speak for all of Wales but it wasn't that I dislike England or wanted them to loose, I just wasn't, as a BB fan, interested enough in watching them play to miss BB and have to catch up. Great ratings for the game last night, the interest very much remains there. |

Just in case any of the usual DSRPGers are on here, next season's schedule list is up if anyone wants to take a stab at doing one:

Does anyone have viewing figures for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics? It would often be under the Olympic Grandstand banner. Would be interesting to see as a lot of events were late night.

EastEnders deserves a good rating tonight Janine, was excellent, kinda of episode which slows you down, and really makes you feel for the characters. Michael was good as well.

At the risk of raining on this glorious ratings day
, there was a news bulletin between MOTD and John Bishop which seems to have rated very low, considering the lead-in of course ![]() Hard to work out the viewership for the bulletin, but it seems somewhere between 15 and 20m were watching TV between 22.45 and 23.00, meaning the BBC News got an audience of between about 7 and 9 million. Not "very low considering the lead-in", taking into account the late hour on a worknight. I know it's completely trivial, but it's bugging me: does anyone know what aired from 23.55 to 24.00 on BBC1? John Bishop's Britain was supposed to run for 45 minutes, so it should have ended at 23.55, but the film started at 24.00 according to the BBC website. It can't have been Weatherview as that was played out at 01.35, ten minutes late. I see they dumped Room 101: Extra Storage, to get nearly back on schedule overnight. |

It's been good these past few episodes. I suppose only having it twice last week helped because it makes the episodes seem fresher and less tiring to watch. IMO that is how it should be.

2.1m for Newsroom's debut on HBO. A pretty good, if not stellar, start - however the suggestion from a lot of the reviewers who have seen the first 4 episodes is that the show goes downhill very quickly. For comparison, Quote:
2.1M debut for #Newsroom is on par with Game of Thrones debut (2.2M) but well below Boardwalk Empire (4.8M).
https://twitter.com/#!/TVMoJoeQuote:
Good news for 'The Newsroom' is 2.1 million is solid first number for 1st showing. Bad news is 2.6 million watching 'True Blood' turned off.

In Germany, an average of 19.30m watched England v Italy match. Astonishing rating over there, equivalent to something like 14.5m watching a match involving foreign teams here in the UK. Great rating over here as well, the peak was about 0.5-1m higher than I expected.

Good of ITV Media not to try to spin yesterday's performance by their flagship channel: Quote:
ITV1 struggled against the football with no programme winning the slot against the coverage. It had its second lowest all time share (8%) for any day ever and its lowest prime time share (8%) for any day ever.
Well, apart from adding in +1 and rounding up, to get them to a more-respectable-sounding 8% primetime share (rather than 7.2%) ![]() I like the phrase "any day ever". |
