What does the opening to the Olympics involve? I can't remember what they do? I assume it's a bit more than a few fireworks and the teams walking past.
The Ratings Thread (Part 37)

Sharapova in a bit of trouble, so Murray might be up very soon. Could present scheduling issues later for BBC1.
Am I right in saying BBC1 is now planning to show last week's Casualty this week?

There's lots of dancers, sets, music, etc - making up the main ceremony - usually a history of the country and what its like in modern day. Then a Parade of Nations, Flags, Speeches, Cauldron lighting and Fireworks.

Thanks. Sounds a bit cringey to be honest.

It can be at times, but it can also be epic.

You've left out Sweden v England.
If you have followed the Euro tournament from the start, you will have watched on both channels.
So you will have made a judgement on who's coverage was preferable.
More people chose the BBC. Speaks volumes.

Beijing was spectacular and Athens was good.

I like Adrian Chiles. Daybreak didn't suit him but he's fine on the football.

I agree. Only the opening and closing ceremonies can run it close.

The Queen will declare the games open
In Barcelona an archer shot a flaming arrow to light the torch
It's rumoured Steve Redgrave will light the London torch
Some talk of the Sex Pistols performing
Hasn't Paul McCartney said he will be involved ?

Adrian was good on TOS, with Christine, and was the BBC's first serious attempt to take on Emmerdale. However, I don't think he was suited to Daybreak and I doubt many blokeish football fans want to discuss TXF.
I think the olympics opening ceremony will get about 18 million.

For us, comparing picture quality on Freeview SD, the BBC pictures seemed sharper and didn't "pixellate" as often as ITV. That may be due to our TV/aerial setup but that, along with the lack of ads, made the BBC an easy choice for us!

Only two entries, highest for BBC and highest for ITV.
Barb, has been very exciting this week...
= The Saturday (23/06) Big Brother Episode went from 1.03 million to 1.52 million, an increase of 490k or 47.5%!!
= A 22.20 repeat of Mrs Browns Boys on the same night, went from 3.67 to 4.14 million, thats 470k or 12.8%, which is not bad at all for a third (i think) repeat of the episode!!
= The Sunday Episode of Family Guy that rated 1.38 million beat half the entries on C4's top 30 as well as 21 of those on C5's!!
= ITV1's lowest rated top 30 show (You've been framed, 2.10 million) beat all but 6 programmes shown on BBC2 that week

The BBC is backing four projects Studio aka’s Chop Chop (working title, 52x7′); Circle Square (52x11′) from The Brothers McLeod; Dee Dee (52x11′) from Blue-Zoo Productions and Ireland’s Telegael; and Wussycat the Clumsy Cat (52x5′), from Baby Cow Animation and Bigfatstudio.
Chop Chop represents London-based Studio aka’s first move into animated programming, as the firm previously worked in commercials and shorts. It is backed by C5′s children’s strand Milkshake!.
C5 is backing The Illuminated Film Company’s Humphrey’s Corner (52x5′) and Toot the Tiny Tugboat (52x11′), from Lupus Films (The Hive).”

It was about 5 seconds for me on HD....pointless watching ITV when you could hear the goals being scored next door 5 seconds before I saw it.
Raining now at Wimbledon, as predicted. Murray is a set and a break up. Whether they actually get back on court this evening is debatable, I would not want to be a Wimbledon scheduler this week based on the forecast...
Pretty much back to normal schedules this week, Murray ought make the next round, will they keep him out of primetime? Euro 2012 rated excellent throughout for BBC1.
ITV1 will be glad to get back to a regular setup, with EM & CS back to their regular timeslots.

better than expect for the football, ITV will currently be drinking alot of high strength alcohol, hoping to forget it ever happened.

Whenever ITV shows rate poorly the usual suspects come out of the woodwork, then when BBC programmes like Eastenders rates badly the excuses come out and its all because of clashes with ITV programmes.

...because it's actually true?
ITV programmes on Tuesday's have zero excuse for rating as poorly as they do from 20:00 to 22:00.
EastEnders only gets the 'clash' excuse if it's against Britain's Got Talent or Emmerdale. Which is fair enough.
ITV in on air Nazi promotion scandal
Sort of....
For some reason that I have never worked out ITV 1 HD always has a promotional on air echo when it plugs a programme....So, it might say Emmerdale, at 7pm on ITV One - quite normally - if on SD - but will echo the last syllable on both satellite and Freeview HD.
It has been like that since the channel started and never been fixed.
Just now they promoted a programme on Bomber Command later in the week and this glitch led to the following.
Bomber Command, 9 pm Tuesday on ITV One - V One.
V One, of course, being a Nazi flying bomb.
Maybe the shame will get them to finally address this problem.
Probably not.

Well, they did for while, but they seem to be kicking off at 5.30 or 6pm most of the year, now.
