The Olympics are a write-off for ITV. I hardly think Adam Crozier is counting on the first few weeks of August being a big earner for the year.

However, it would still get decent audiences as there's not much else recent they could repeat, unless they do it in tandem with Lewis and Vera.
Call the Midwife didn't really repeat well.

ITV will be happy with their multichannels doing the big repeat figures. Honestly they should have a lengthened news segment for the Olympics, with regional sections looking at specific people.

Make ITV the 'digestible' Olympics. Along with soaps and a few repeats; maybe the odd film. They could do okay.

I doubt this though; the lack of planning from ITV is bizzare; their olympic tie in shows were mostly cobbled together last minute and generally theres a serious lack of structure to their schedule.


Downton though isn't the right repeat imo; CtM did so poorly on repeat Cohen pulled it (silly imo) and Downton I don't see doing much better; the DVDs also sold well. Its not a detective show and its not got the repeat value of something like DW. Its not the right show to repeat.

Unfortunately. ITV don't have much else :/ Put Bond films on when they have gaps in the usual schedule. Done.

When is the new series Mr Selfridge with Jeremy Piven to air. Is it regarded as a Sunday night series?

It must be.

I would suspect it will play in January, timed to start as soon as CTM2 finishes ...

I think you're right there. That certainly seems pretty likely. What that also means is that ITV's Winter Sundays are going to change a bit next year as Mr Selfridge isn't going to be at 8.30pm in the old WAH slot.

Both won their slots according to Sam Hodges.

Also, from Attentional:

The Nation's Favourite Number 1 singles was watched by 3.70m, Coronation Street 6.75m, Thelma's Gypsy Girls 2.48m.

Indeed. If DOI is still playing on Sundays, I would suspect it'll be thrown to the CTM2 wolves.

Unless, of course, ITV has managed to get its own midwife drama on air by then ...

I think previously when it was DOI and WAH on Sundays DOI was the main priority, but I don't think that'll be the case next year as Mr Selfridge will be the main priority.

I did think DOI's performance show at least would move to Saturdays but they seem to have a few other shows lined up for Saturdays early next year so maybe it'll just be one long show on a Sunday leading into Mr Selfridge at 9pm.

Looking at last night, that's an unexpected jump for The Nation's Favourite Number 1, especially as it had a later slot. Looks like it outrated Superstar, which is a bit embarrassing for ITV.

I just think the Channel's need to leave off talent shows, with a judging panel for a while, ITV have had two flops in the last week. Everybody who watches it say's Superstar is a well made show, but people are tiring of the format. Even the big guns aren't ratings what they were.

I didn't think it was a particularly "viewer friendly" episode of Wallander last night, so no surprise it was down over 1m on last week.

Perhaps drifting viewers found the No 1 Singles show by default? I saw some of it on Saturday night by dint of there being absolutely nothing else on, and it was quite watchable - if cheap BBC3/E4 type filler unsuited to primetime on the nation's second channel.

A bit on NEXT Mondays EastEnders
It's going to feature a Birth being done LIVE

http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/e...l-play-1144275
Hope they have called the midwife...

Wonder if this is cashing in on the success of Midwife/Born Every Minute, and the nation's evident yet unfathomable desire to watch babies popping out?

And if it's a success, when will Corrie schedule its copycat live birth?

Don't get the low ratings for Superstar its much better than that tripe The Voice. Also all 11 seem like quite good singers unlike Xfactor which always only has 2 fairly good singers, 2 alright singers, 6 complete nonentities and 2 acts for people to laugh at.

Disagree with you about superstar being better than the voice (watching amanda host makes me realise holly wasn't nearly as bad as i thought) but imo it suffers from a similar problem in that theres loads of singers and nobody has much charisma and with it being over so quickly and not having the acting bits all the heart of the bbc one has been stripped out and replaced with a cheap x factor clone- I'm really angry as i loved the previous ALW shows but this deserves to be a flop

I saw Superstar is to be an Arena tour, if it has low ratings and little impact the Arena tour could go the same way as the one for The Voice?

Surely Superstar is an ALW production, he has cast the main players himself. If anything it will give him a lot of guaranteed sales and publicity. Yikes...... tickets here cost £45-65, West End prices, but not brilliant views. Tickets are 2/3 sold already. http://jesuschristsuperstar.seeticke...o-Arena/639479

wow slow thread today, which is probably a good thing

the most watched programme of the week is Wimbledon Men's final 11.52 average for a five-hour non royal programme is very impressive

I don't think any other 'single' sporting event could match that in this day in age

more later.....

Yay. This Liverpool fan is looking forward to that.

As for last night, I didn't expect The Nation's Favourite Single to grow its audience that much. It did well considering the awkward slot and poor lead-in.

Good point about Mel C. She was on the front of The Sun's new-look TV magazine yesterday, and probably the Mirror equivalent too. There was also a 2 page spread in one of the tabloids today.

So it's managing to secure a fair amount of press, but it's not helping the numbers.
Yeah, I dunno if the production is doing it any favours either because watching it last night I thought it was skewed a bit too young, in terms of the song choices, and it looked too much like The X Factor. That was OK on the Beeb because they didn't have an X Factor, but maybe not so here.

You all know my opinion on this and others will completely disagree but I really think the build up to the games has been very low key on the BBC, with special programmes restricted to the fringes of primetime at best and key moments in the torch relay getting nothing more than a glorified News Channel special.
But they can't do the build-up constantly, otherwise people complain there's too much time devoted to it. I see loads of complaints about them spending too much time on the relay but what we've had is regular items on the news and then special programmes in each region which seems perfectly fine to me. I don't know what else you can say on a regular basis. And there's plenty of build-up this week with the Victoria Pendleton documentary at 9pm.

I saw Superstar is to be an Arena tour, if it has low ratings and little impact the Arena tour could go the same way as the one for The Voice?
The tour was happening anyway, the TV show is peripheral to it, not the other way around. And they'd have to do it, otherwise what's the prize?

@broadcastnow: Channel 5 nets Liverpool FC doc: Channel 5 has beaten ITV to land an all-access documentary on Liverpool Football Club...
I read about this in Broadcast the other week, it's an American company who the owners allowed to go behind the scenes, I think it might already have been shown in America. The piece said ITV were after it, so that's not a bad deal for Five, it might be a bit of a draw.

Theatre tours are a very different kettle of fish, even without a tv show I would expect an ALW Jesus revival to do well even in arenas. Regional theatre tours by West End shows are always very successful(though in big theatres rather than arenas) and given the Jesus tour is only 10 dates I think it should easily break even.

. all 11 seem like quite good singers unlike Xfactor which always only has 2 fairly good singers, 2 alright singers, 6 complete nonentities and 2 acts for people to laugh at.
Considering [like the BBC ALW shows] most of them are professional theatre performers I would kind of expect them to be good singers. Roger was Simba in the LIon King Musical for 2 years fgs!
