The Mirror's is good as well - same picture as a few others but far bigger and the headline is better too. |

Meredith Vierra has been interviewing Danny Boyle for The Today Show.
He revealed a few things in the ceremony. The most interesting is that The Queen's entrance to the ceremony is "weather dependant". And Meredith is rumoured to have seen the rehearsal of the lighting of the cauldron and commented "If they pull it off, it will go viral in minutes. It's fantastic." Jon Snow said its the "most extraordinary Olympic cauldron that any of us have ever seen. It is absolutely fantastic." |

I love that picture on The Times front page it's beautiful. The Mirror's front page is great as well. I'm looking forward to the opening ceremony. The clips today just wet my appetite for the rest of the ceremony

The number of channels shouldn't really have a massive impact on big national events.
And remember the population is bigger than in those years. 50% of the country now is much larger than 50% of the country then. I think it'll be Jubilee Concert territory myself, perhaps lower because of the late finish. |

Yet in TV land I notice What's on TV and TV Choice both manage to stick with soap covers, probably both EastEnders.
This may be of interest... http://broken-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2012...tched-and.html |

Well, it's here.
Does anyone remember the ratings for the Royal Wedding build-up last year? Answer, you don't, because the figures were mediocre, 4m at best. Yet the rating for the wedding peaked with over 26m. This date has been promoted to death for the past 7 years, and anything other than a massive peak would be very disappointing with the amount of preparation. |

Everything in the 9pm slot tomorrow will be absolutely slaughtered beyond words.
ITV1 is now on holiday until Monday 13 August 2012. For chavs and tat please tune to ITV2, for Horlicks and slippers drama please see ITV3. For anything else, we will get back to you when we return. Enjoy the Games, see you in a fortnight. Please note this message will not be forwarded. ![]() Quote:
I can honestly see a 30m peak for tomorrow's opening ceremony, with a 20-25m average. This is going to be huge.
I did expect more at this stage, and I do just wonder if the OC tonight, whilst big, is going to fall short of what we hoped for. I have said guaranteed 20m+ average and a peak of anything from 22/25/30m for years now, but I am getting cold feet. It's a massive broadcast tonight, Lineker is flagging it as "from 7pm" when it isn't really and I wonder how many will go the distance. And over 5.5 hours, people will come and go - the reach will be spectacular, but is there one single point in time when everyone will tune in. Is it 9pm for the start of the OC or around whatever time the cauldron gets lit/the big finish - I have no idea when the "climax" is going to be. Things like that matter. Quote:

I also wonder if BBC1 might roll out an Olympics ident today? They have been running their "x days to go" sting now for a month and for a channel with a series of identifiers based on circles, you can't get better than an aerial shot of the stadium, as the "x days to go" sting uses.
Be a shame if they just use the "stadium Mexican wave" one for the duration. |

But is the nation really enrapt about the whole affair? I did expect more at this stage, and I do just wonder if the OC tonight, whilst big, is going to fall short of what we hoped for.

They are doing special covers every day apparently, and did a brilliant one on Monday of Wiggins in the yellow jersey. The Times is a super newspaper and I constantly implore people to try it. Let the carping and grousing begin... |

Watching BBC News, and I'm quite surprised this is not on BBC1 either.

Looks like this place will be pages and pages of sports waffle for the next 3 weeks, and little else. Shame that it's getting more and more difficult to find actual ratings posts in here.

I'm dreading we're going to completely screw it up. Reports today of hundreds being turned away from Lord's archery due to ticketing "confusion".
