A somewhat imaginative use of the word soar there, dribbles up to 2.17m is better.

Isn't a rise of over 700k on Saturday's show not relatively noteworthy? I'd say soar is fine.

Wednesday will be interesting. A live eviction involving a big character opposite repeats on ITV1 and C4. Then another set of live noms? Hopefully they hold them in the Diary Room this time, which might explain the longer 60 minute runtime. C5's share could be very big with 3.5 hours of CBB and nothing much going on elsewhere.

Call The Midwife had similar rises between episodes I see no problem in calling a 700k rise a soar.

But in previous years, they use ratings for the entire programme. Same with Champions League finals. I prefer to use the entire programme because then you have consistency across all football matches irrespective of year.
But in years previous to that they did what they do now. They have reverted to what went before.

- Silent Witness: 4.83m
- RuthRendellsThirteenStepsDown: 2.7m/11.2%
- #IanBrady documentary draws 1.7m/7%

What the hell happened there? Awful for Thirteen Steps Down.
Remind me, when does ITV's post-"JubiLympics" fightback begin exactly?

SPOTY 2012 - Excel London - Sunday 16th December

Strictly Final - Saturday 22nd December

These will be official in a couple of days....
No surprises there then. I would assume SPOTY gets a free rtin with the TXF Final the week before? Either way, good to see it return to its rightful Sunday night home after the Thursday night flop least year.

I would like to think we could have an extended show this year, say 8-10.30 given the Olympics.

Could Channel 4 be missing Friends. This morning after Frasier the banner came up "Next more Friends" instead of more Frasier.

Haha or someone at Channel Four has got a great sense of humour.

Looking at top 10 most watched shows by year on the BARB website they use match average and have pre & post shows separate for football ratings.

SPOTY should be big this year due to the Olympics, and I do expect a boost from last year's odd Thursday outing.

What is the highest percentage share of any broadcast in the UK? I recall a World Cup match got around a 90% share at its peak.

New thread!

Last night's soaps look a bit low, but good for Big Brother, and a convincing drama clash victory for Silent Witness.

There must have been a few shares of over 90% when only BBC1 and BBC2 were broadcasting in the autumn of 1979.

TV listings mags for next week confirm what we knew really that Dallas starts week beginning 1 Sep. As for the day....the John Barrowman documentaries next week are on Wednesday.

Large piece in Radio Times on New Tricks return on Monday confirming that James Bolam is in at least the first episode of the new series. Also in HD for the first time. The episode title is either a red herring or a clue.

The new one off drama on BBC 2 Sunday at 9 pm directed by Birger Larsen of Forbrydelsen (The Killing - original Danish edition) gets a rave review and looks very interesting. First UK production with fascinating new twist to presentation style. But against an ITV drama and a new George Gently on BBC 1and the also intriguing new Sky 1 series starring John Hannah and Suranne Jones (A Touch of Cloth - an Airplane/Naked Gun style take on UK cop dramas) the 9 pm slot is insanely overstocked this Sunday. Something is going to get criminally undeserved ratings it would seem. Maybe more than one something.

To answer Charnham we saw Don't Blow the Inheritence after the amusing farce that was the 2000th special of Deal or No Deal. Tim Vine was an amiable host (always like him on Countdown) but it was slow and nothing new as a game show. Not a patch on The Chase.

Ouch for Toast of London, the Channel 4 funny fortnight is a real mixed bag especially the pilots for new comedies.

/sigh I didn't even know they were piloting new comedies. No wonder some shows are getting drowned out.

Having Ian Brady as a lead in during 'Funny Fortnight' can't have helped either.

Some of the comments on Ds Soap ratings round up is a joke. Adding all showings up and getting corriw coming out 16.9m against EastEnders 7m. Is that how desperate its become?

On the Dallas thread in here there is a link to a site claiming that it is confirmed that Dallas does take over the Once Upon a Time slot on Five from 8 pm a week on Sunday.

We did guess that on here for various reasons (eg the timing of the end of OUAT on Sunday coming and the way the first Dallas promos went out in that very time slot). But we also saw the problem of the content of the show. Will it need editing for an 8 pm start?

At least it will avoid the Sunday 9 pm log jam.

But is that TV King site referenced in the know or just guesstimating like we were?

That josepharmstrong person is very very odd; I quoted something from him last week (can't remember now) that was just as odd.

Best ignored. Either one of the sad trolls who aren't talking at anyone just wasting their own time, or has other issues.

Not a sign of soap fans overall it should be said.

NBC's post-Olympics reality launch is a flop - the Mark Burnett/Dick Wolf produced Stars Earn Stripes shed 35% of its premiere audience to slide to a 1.1 rating last night at 9pm. That only matched the lead-in from a repeat episode of America's Got Talent. Grimm also took a tumble, down to a 1.6 after a promising 2.0 premiere last week, but I suspect NBC will take that.

FOX also launched a new reality series last week, Gordon Ramsay's Hotel Hell. It was up slightly from last weeks premiere to a steady 2.0 rating at 8pm (remember, in the US that means 7pm for one third of the country in the summer). It's the fifth Ramsay series on FOX (following Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares, Masterchef, Cookalong Live). Indeed, Hell's Kitchen followed Hotel Hell and was the #1 show of the night with a 2.5 rating.

Elsewhere, US Olympic champion Ryan Lochte is being pursued by ABC to be the next Bachelor for the series returning in January. The Closing Ceremony did 31m and a 9.2 for NBC.

True Blood's 2.8 rating among adults 18-49 on premium network HBO was tied as the #1 show in the demo for the week with America's Got Talent on NBC (2.8 on Tuesday). The five year old vampire series has held remarkably steady over the years compared to other serialised hits.

Don't panic about the ratings for the pilots. Channel 4 are going on how funny they think they are apparently.

I've heard Dallas starts on September 5th. Hmm will be a crowded night.

All things considered I think NBC probably has to be overjoyed with Grimm's performance. Its scheduling is remarkably bizarre but its holding up incredibly well. That's its second best performance since January apparently. I'm not sure there's anything else on NBC (or much else on any other network) that could survive this kind of scheduling. I cannot work out what possessed them to bring this back in the middle of summer and on a completely different day. They're dropped the ball not pairing it with America's Got Talent that could have potentially given it a nice boost.

Stars Earn Stripes is a deserved disaster though.

Elsewhere, US Olympic champion Ryan Lochte is being pursued by ABC to be the next Bachelor for the series returning in January. The Closing Ceremony did 31m and a 9.2 for NBC.

Also nice to see Breaking Bad up at a 1.3 for AMC.
