Apparently Obama's entourage for the Olympics™ will be around 8,000 people. Bonkers.
I'm glad the Prime Minister's job doesn't seem to automatically involve the missus in everything, unlike the American equivalent. |

We caught up with Wallender and Great British Railway Journeys because the offerings were abysmal on all the channels, i hear people frequently say 'more channels,more choice' well thats rubbish for a start.
You don't have to watch live telly every night, like you don't have to go to the cinema every week. |

As proved by the ratings for the royal wedding and Diamond Jubilee, most of the people who say they won't watch events like these (like most people did about those), do, and are mostly all talk.

Tonight is going to be very cheesy indeed...I was watching clips on YT after midnight and they looked great and very 'British'...edited...
I can see the peak being 22 million, the average being 14.5 million...It is on until 00.30 or later and that could affect ratings. |

What can be said easily is that the Opening Ceremony of an Olympics is the closest you ever get to broadcasting to the entire World.
Almost everyone in the World will see some of the ceremony, whether it's 3 minutes on the news, a few clips on YouTube, 5 minutes on the telly or sitting watching the entire thing. |

Can't see the weather helping proceedings. Beautiful day today (for the North at least) and it staying light past 9.30 will keep folk in the garden
Plus it's pay day, lot of folk will be heading out |

I imagine they are delayed because they will be (presumably?) be processing a lot more data due to the Olympics. And of course there's 24 extra channels on Sky and Virgin to account for...

Hope they get their act together tonight/tomorrow morning, for what might (or might not...) be the most seismic ratings event in British TV history.

Thanks to rzt for the majority of the 2008 ratings from the archive. Live programming only. I do hope DS updates every day during the Olympics, but they don't like putting sporting events as the headline, or at least they don't tend to. Also, many congratulations are awarded to Fudd for predicting the fortnight's schedule four years early....

Just curious as to why ITV are pulling the Lets Do Lunch with Gino and Mel show for the next two weeks. Gino said it was due to the Olympics and seemed pretty miffed.
I would have thought that the mid day largely female audience are some of the least likely to desert such a programme and its ratings are hardly so huge that they are going to suffer badly anyhow. What is the thinking behind pulling it for a fortnight? I know that there is giving in to the inevitable in peak slots but this show is only cheap daytime filler. And This Morning is continuing as normal. Just seems an odd move, especially as they made clear on air that it was because of the Olympics. Maybe they think that their star guests (as in ex soap actors or out of work loose women) might find it hard to reach the studios? If so I dread to think who will make it onto This Morning over the next fortnight. It will be wall to wall Heather from East Enders going camping and Jonny whatsit going camp by the sounds of it. |
