I'm glad you managed to find time to enter predictions, Dancc; I hope the severity continues to ease.

Glad to see Dancc back for another bash at the game, I personally find this game (and ratings in general) a great distraction - friends, family look at me puzzled when I mention the game, but a couple now ask me how certain shows are rating!!

hehe

I have been following TV rating since the early 1980's - being amazed that 20m or so people were also watching something I had seen...

Looks like another high scoring week, 40+ points anyway.... Jimmy and the Whale Whisperer about were I expected, we all really dropped the ball on Kevin McCloud’s Man Made Home, considering how well Grand Designs rates - should have added 1m to my prediction, thankfully Andrew Marr's History of the World was in the right ballpark.......

Fudd

24-09-2012

Week 12: Monday Update

- Baggage (1.0m) averaged 2.7 points. Pizzatheaction scored a 5er.
- Being Liverpool (1.0m) averaged 2.7 points. Green Steel scored a 5er.
- Casualty (4.0m) averaged 2.2 points. Pizzatheaction continued the late rally with another 5er.
- Jimmy and The Whale Whisperer (SPECIAL has not been reported without +1.Typically. This will be void (which is a shame considering it's a special) with EastEnders taking it's place.
- Kevin McCloud's Man Made Home (SPECIAL - 2.6m) averaged 0.6 points. No 10ers were scored.
- Andrew Marr's History of Modern Britain (SPECIAL - 3.3m averaged 5.6 points. AnthonyC and Green Steel (continuing an excellent day) both claimed 10ers.
- EastEnders (BACKUP - 7.0m) averaged 2.3 points. No 5ers were scored.
