I'm pretty sure I've seen an ad on ITV that was about BBC coverage Olympics with 24 channels available via Sky.

Awful rating for an awful show-Lets Get Gold. Well deserved. Andy Murray final will obviously peak well and it should be an easy enough final for him with the other main seeds out.

Looks like people turned off the One Show last night?

It was fully against Corrie, unusually.

And considering it was a Friday (usually the weakest night for TOS) and it was out of slot, it did well to beat Thursday's rating, in volume if not in share:

Let's Get Gold... not a good rating, is it?

It was up against Corrie but its share looks really low. Maybe it is all this moving around of programmes to faciltiate the tennis. However, it did have good lead in ratings and should have benefited from this.

In England. Scotland/Wales/NI got the regional news on BBC2

Its a sorry state of affairs for ITV when Grimefighters manages to beat their new, expensive, gameshow.

It was a Grimefighters repeat as well LOL.

Yeah I've seen that too and they had a frontpage ad in the Times last week promoting it.

Ah yes, forgot that. Did the nations get another dose of news at 7pm? That's what the BBC website indicates.

And the regional news was up against Emmerdale and managed to have 5m viewers.


When you see its ratings sandwiched between 5m and 7m programmes sort of draws attention to its 3m.

Maybe Chris Evans has lost his winning ways, even that little dynamo of a magician couldn't pull in the crowds.

The ad for the BBC has certainly been running on some of the Sky channels

No

Some network consumer show at 7pm.

Scotland got Coast, Wales showed Fake Britain and Northern Ireland opted out in full between 7-8 to show the world boat race visiting Derry.http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01kg61n

Thanks. So the actual regional news aired at 7.00 only in England and therefore the 7.00-7.30 slot did very well to get 5.1m/24% against Emmers despite showing repeats to Scotland and Wales, 13% of the UK population. Not sure if the boat race in NI (3% of UK) will have under- or over-performed against network.

Let's Get Gold! Yikes that's not good at all. Doesn't look like a cheap show either. The trailers didn't fill me with confidence and the end result proved my suspicions right. It's not for me at all. Superstar should fare better.

The peak was massive but to average 6.4m on a weekday afternoon is even more impressive.

Well, if it does, it may stand out as a relative diamond in the rough in tonight's ITV1 schedule:

5.30 Primeval - FLOP!
6.25 You Cannot Be Serious! - FLOP!
6.55 You've Been Framed! - (R)
7.25 Superstar
8.25 Let's Get Gold! - FLOP!
9.55 News
10.10 Mad Mad World - FLOP!

Especially seeing where it started. I think people wanted to see Federer v Djokovic as well. Wimbledon's success is down to how well and how far Brits go in the tournament. Unfortunately they only have Murray to rely on. If he goes far big ratings are possible likewise when Tim Henman did well. How high can the final go? Possibly double figures in the millions for the match/show average?


Superstar has been promoted a lot, just maybe it'll hit big.

Given the appalling weather and appalling competition it has no excuse not to succeed. It should get at least 7 million.

Theres hardly any buzz for Superstars. Look at DS, not even a single post about it in the last week even though its launching tonight. Less than 3,000 followers for the official Twitter account which is way less than what The Voice and even Red Or Black had before their launches. The Facebook page has a measly 1,000 likes. The YouTube trailer has 12,000 views which is like 10x less than The Voice's trailer before it launched. There has been no front page or major articles in the newspapers this week, no special idents for it like what Itv did for Red or Black and DoI, a small lead in from crappy old Youve Been Framed, hardly any mentions on the radio about it although I dont listen to Chris Moyles show which he could have talked about. It will be seen as a rip-off of the BBCs versions of Andrew Lloyd Webber's shows and also the judges are quite small names like Jason Donovan and Mel C is the least talked about Spice Girl. It aint gonna hit big, might scrape 5m, but thats it. This stuffy Lloyd Webber franchise wasnt a big hit for BBC according to BARB.co.uk:

11 OVER THE RAINBOW (SAT 1829) 5.53
24 OVER THE RAINBOW (FRI 2100) 4.55
10 OVER THE RAINBOW (SAT 1928) 5.61
13 OVER THE RAINBOW (SAT 1903) 5.61
19 OVER THE RAINBOW (SUN 2015) 4.79
16 OVER THE RAINBOW (SUN 1816) 4.84
18 OVER THE RAINBOW (SAT 1915) 4.82
9 OVER THE RAINBOW (SUN 1915) 5.99
13 OVER THE RAINBOW (SAT 1907) 5.41
12 OVER THE RAINBOW (SUN 1914) 5.61
14 OVER THE RAINBOW (SAT 1911) 5.44
11 OVER THE RAINBOW (SAT 1848) 5.78
12 OVER THE RAINBOW (SUN 1915) 5.75
13 OVER THE RAINBOW (SUN 2009) 5.61
14 OVER THE RAINBOW (SAT 1910) 5.56
6 OVER THE RAINBOW (SAT 2057) 6.95
10 OVER THE RAINBOW (SAT 1902) 5.97

And nor will it be a big hit for Itv.

Ratings don't reflect quality.

re The One Show:


True, but Corrie typically rates 1m-1.5m better than Emmers.


3m or so is a typical figure for half-decent shows up against the big two soaps on BBC1 & ITV1. I'll grant you it's not a fab figure, but not awful.

Wimbledon boosted yesterday's all-day share for BBC TV as a whole to 39.8% for all individuals, 47.2% for ABC1 Women and a massive 49.9% for ABC1 Men (C4 Sales)
