That was excellent for BBC One, staying above a 30% share for 5 and a bit hours. News rated better than I thought it would, 6+ million on a Saturday evening is excellent.

“ITV has released their projections to advertisers for what ratings they're expecting for all of their Euro 2012 matches. Here's their predictions and they even give the timings they intend to give each broadcast:

Fri 8/6- Russia v Czech Republic (19.15-22.00): 4.74m
Sun 10/6- Spain v Italy (16.00-19.00): 5.01m
Sun 10/6- Ireland v Croatia (19.15-22.00): 6.97m
Mon 11/6- England v France (16.00-19.15): 10.82m
Tue 12/6- Czech Republic v Greece (16.30-19.05): 2.71m
Tue 12/6- Poland v Russia (19.20-22.00): 3.79m
Wed 13/6- Denmark v Portugal (16.30-19.05): 3.75m
Thu 14/6- Ireland v Spain (19.15-22.00): 8.01m
Fri 15/6- Ukraine v France (16.30-19.05): 3.75m
Sun 17/6- Portugal v Holland (19.15-22.00): 5.53m
Tue 19/6- England v Ukraine (19.00-22.00): 12.43m
Fri 22/6- Quarter Final 1 (19.20-22.00): 6.75m
Sat 23/6- Quarter Final 2 (19.15-22.00): 6.37m
Sun 01/7- Final (19.15-22.00): 1.92m

Source: ITV Media

They are expecting a tournament average of 6m (including their 2 England matches). Excluding the England matches, they are projecting an overall average of 4.9m.

Previous tournaments on ITV1 averaged: Euro 2008: 4.83m, World Cup 2010: 5.29m

Important to note, those projections above are based on the whole broadcast average, not the match average. Most of those peaktime broadcasts will have 30 mins of pre-match buildup and about 25 mins of post-match analysis. Even longer for some of the 5pm and England matches. So say for example, they're predicting 12.4m for England v Ukraine, that's for the whole coverage including analysis - the match average they're expecting will be more like 17m based on a 12.4m whole coverage average (this is based on how World Cup 2010 rated in terms of coverage and match averages - usually a difference of about 4.5m between match and coverage averages of England matches).”

Great and on par of what I thought the matches would get. Great peaks. And BB held very steady and beat the previous two ratings despite facing the Ireland match. Pretty much makes sense to why they should keep it at 9pm. It's on again tonight at 9pm.

The final is shared with BBC1 I presume.

So 1.92m is what they think will watch the ITV1 effort.

I think they are wrong though, BBCs presentation is so depressing.

Casualty did well on Friday night. Wonder if the BBC will ever consider giving it a weekday slot to free up Saturdays for other things?

Euro 2012 looks a bit low for ITV1. BBC1 held up very well too with their older skewing shows. I suppose they were always going to do better on a Sunday with that line up than ITV1 would do on a Saturday night with a similar pitch.

No. It will be a 11 million match average with a 14 mill peak.

The Sweden game will do better for the beeb.

I don't know what it is but there doesn't seem to be any atmosphere or excitment with this Euro..it just seems that people feel flat about it all..I remember Euro 2008 and there seemed to be more genuine excitment and England weren't even in the tournament!

Well It's rating really well so I completely disagree with you. I will go as far to say it's rating better than 2008.

The England match is an early start, 4pm for the programme. 5pm kick-off.

So the peak might be fairly high as the 2nd half kicks-off at 6pm, but the programme average is bound to be low.

Sebastian Scott added: ""Let's Get Gold is like the Posh and Becks of talent shows, combining Britain's two biggest passions: sport and entertainment.

Moving away from Grade, I'll always remember Yentob as the one who axed Eldorado, when it was actually improving a lot. Big disappointment considering it could have become a juggernaut in the BBC1 schedule, seeing how much it was improving under Corinne Hollingworth's stewardship. Wasn't Yentob's time during the mid 90s when they continued to close the gap to ITV?”

Grade saved BBC1 as its ratings under Alan Hart had slumped to 31 per cent. It was thanks to Grade and a host of new and very popular shows like Bread, In Sickness and In Healtjh, Casualty and Eastenders that the BBC fought back. He was also lucky sitcoms like Allo Allo and Only Fools and Horses soared in popularity during his tenure. And yes he did go to Channel 4 because he didn't get on with John Birt.
As for Eldorado, it was such a figure of ridicule, even with improving ratings, the BBC were embarassed by it and decided to cancel. Actually the whole Eldorado fiasco marked the start of a very lean period for BBC drama which was dominated by flops like A Year in Provence, Rhodes, Trainer, Strathblair and Rides.

if this is a sporting thing, why are there two "popstars" on the panel? one an ex soap star, and one from a group who I dont think has ever had a No1?

Maybe it should read "Lets Get Gold Flops on ITV 1 this July."
