I thought the bit where they showed pics of viewers wearing cowboy hats said it all. Hardly riveting stuff and nobody missed much by dressing up and sending in silly pictures of themselves whilst it was on. Background tv, nothing more. 4m might have it on in their homes, but how many are truly watching it? And how many just have it on whilst they do their crossword or something?

Putting two new episodes of Family Guy on Sunday night appeared to help BBC Three recover from the awful share The Batman Shootings received. The wrong presenter was used and a rush job.
Zai Bennett appears to be trying to get another 'name' onto the Three roster with Fashanu's daughter, but I think that particular programme should have been produced after the trial and presented by a journalist or Stacey Dooley who's docs rate well. |

Modern Family repeats are struggling, Don't Tell The Bride tanked and is now affecting Can of Worms, which was the only decent "new episode" show. It makes me wonder how I Will Survive will fare when it premieres tonight. I used to think somewhere around 1.3m-1.4m, but now looking at how ALL Ten's reality shows have been doing, they will be lucky if they even get 800k. The Shire should be axed immediately and their tapes burnt, so people will never have to see the light of day of this atrocious shit. Seriously, 251k is really pathetic for 9:45pm and even Ten's standards. Once again, whoever is the programmer for Ten should get fired. The all-reality 7:30pm weekly lineup is clearly not working. If new and/or existing FOX/CBS produced shows proves to be a hit in the US, perhaps Ten should focus on that more. They should also focus on creating more scripted shows, since Offspring did decently well and Puberty Blues had a promising start. |

Additional new episode ratings in AU
The Newsroom on SoHo premiered to 90k, whilst regular time slot premiere for Seven's Up All Night attracted 470k, beating The Shire and Gordon Ramsay.

I do actually like The Shire (prefer it to TOWIE and Geordie Shore) but it really hasn't resonated with an audience. Perhaps this stuff is better suited to digital channels, I'm sure once Seven's Brynn Edlestein (or whatever her name is) doc airs we'll see whether these have a place on TV or not |

I tend to think the reveals are only as good as the build-up to them. That's where the hard work is really done and the EastEnders team just haven't been putting the work into setting up any of the dominoes to knock down. The previous big Branning Christmas worked so well not just because they built up the affair but because part of that build up was building that brilliant Branning family unit. They haven't done that this time around and they don't have the time to do it now. And the Branning family isn't as good as it once was. So its all well and good saying dropping a secret on a family over Christmas can make great drama if the secret and the family don't mean anything because you haven't put the work in before hand then who's really going to care enough to watch and stick with it?
The murderer reveal is another example of the lazy unfocused writing that has plagued EastEnders for years now. Their primary focus after Heather's murder should have been building up that Mitchell family unit so that when you drop that bomb on it it actually means something. And the way the reveal itself was handled was piss-poor. I still think they should have done a slowly everyone but Shirley is in on the secret reveal and ultimately made the focus of the storyline 'when will Shirley find out and how will she react'. So this big summer reveal could have been Jay finally cracking and confessing all to Billy and you then have the drama of Phil trying to keep Billy quiet and how that changes Billy's relationships within the family etc. etc. But that's another subject for another time... That first bit, is well said and obviously true. As for the Heather Trott murder, yes EE is a bit without a long term plan at the moment, that is what comes of having a new producer. However I really think this storyline does most of what you ask, its certainly changed Billys relationship with Jay. That Ian was involved was not THAT odd, given he is Bens brother, but I thought the wild card they played with Ian was a different way to move closer to the reveal. Not to discuss this in too greater detail, but we have known for a while Max has some sort of secret, and I do worry about Sharon getting ever closer to the Branning pack, so its not like this is totally unplanned.

I'd agree that people aren't going to stick with a show they don't like because its lead-in was show x but they can be important for getting new shows a decent initial sampling. Its pretty clear that ITV dropped the ball on that front on Sunday night. Plus how many people just switch off of any channel when they realise its a prime time repeat and don't expect to see a new original drama following it?
) but I very rarely watch something when it is actually on. Every thing is put on the programme planner and left to record. I'm not bothered what's on before or after, I'm not bothered what channel it's on. If I want to watch it I will, and if I don't then <shrug>. Things are carefully crafted and the +1 is used when there is a clash. Even if I watch things at the time, I always give programmes on channels with adverts a good 15-20 minutes before starting to watch. Even a non-ad channel gets 5 mins head start. I must be an advertisers worst nightmare. I haven't seen an ad for years.

So even if there is a PVR in the lounge, the chances are there aren't others around the house.. |

I've said my piece before on England v Italy. I think we should use the same numbers as BARB and all the rest of the media.

In the great game of trying to guess when DW starts, DW is in the Coming soon/next week bits of both TV and Radio Times, RT claims DW is back and has SM's exclusive ep guide and a free Dalek wallchart, And in TT its an Autumn Season special and says "the time lord carries Amy on their final Adventure together (they lie because the picture shown is the one with the Doctor carrying amy through fiery Daleks. Not sure if any of this means whether or not DW starts on Set 1st or the 8th but it says something I suppose.
Dallas is also in the Next issue bit of the TT. Chris Evans on't radio yesterday said Wednesdays with Double ep start. |

No one spotted this earlier, but for the Diving, add BBC3 and BBC HD: 4.289m + 0.377m = 4.666m
Therefore, that is now the most watched multichannel programme in UK television history. |

So will it be Sports Personality of the Year v XFactor Final on 16 Dec?
Sports personality can rate extremely well this year because of Olympic success. XFactor final is screwed if it wants to rate as well as last few years ! My prediction is Strictly come dancing will be top entertainment final this year.

Think Mrs Biggs and Mr Selfridge have hit written all over them, however. I can't call if Monroe will do well. Could see Selfridge pulling 7-8 million. EastEnders still floundering I see...

EE isn't that bad quite frankly:
CS1 - 7.37m (36.4%) (+1 201k) CS2 - 7.81m (34.1%) (+1 214k) Em - 5.89m (32.4%) (+1 185k) EE - 7.06m (31.9%) (Three 778k) No 'big week' effect anyway; but its not had a negative effect. |
