Some real guff posted on this thread today.
Starting it's 7th series in the modern era, Doctor Who will/should timeshift to around 8.6m. Which is pretty much in line with every single series opener since it returned. Next.... :yawn: |

Officials w/e 26/8/12:
Other channels = 50.1% - all time record First time ever that "Other channels" have exceeded 50% of viewing. NB. "Other channels" = everything except main 5 channels and their +1 variants. ITV1 - 11.9% (exc +1 and HD) Not a record but I think a noteworthy figure. If we exclude the 3 weeks of the Olympics, ITV1's all time record low (exc +1 and HD) is 11.6%. 11.9% looks like the 4th lowest ever (excluding Olympics) but it's with XF back. Same week last year was 12.9% so it's down 8% vs PY. |

I agree about them being bland. Likable but bland. |

. And the repetitive Blue Peter digs from people at Matt Baker is also getting more than a little tired now he hasn't been presenting children's TV for about 6 years, and has been presenting Countryfile for 3 during which time it's turned into a pretty much constant Sunday night success story. It's fair enough not to like him but I think the record needs changing - I'm sure people can find some more recent reasons to think he's rubbish if they want (Personally - I like him and think he does a good job on the show, it's much more engaging now than it ever was when it was on Sunday mornings.)

We may have the reason why so little of the controlller sessions from Edinburgh went on to their website. Quote:
Monkey surmised at the Edinburgh TV festival that Kirsty Young can write off any freelance work for C4, since the atmosphere when she interviewed its chief creative officer Jay Hunt was chilly enough for delegates to feel a need for a jumper. And Friday's Daily Mail, noting the session was not subsequently screened online as usual, had confirmation from C4 that "we felt the questions were unbalanced". Hunt no doubt expected the purring Desert Island Discs hostess, but instead got claws-out Kirsty, who put her on the spot about the ethics of Big Fat Gypsy Weddings and Embarrassing Bodies.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/medi...a-monkey-diaryThe controller of C5 had a much tougher session than that in 2011. Danny Cohen got some real tough questions from Kirsty Wark in his session this year about the Royal Bodyguard and the Jubilee coverage, but unlike Hunt he admitted that they got those things wrong and the session moved on.The Big problem with Hunt is that she never admits that she got things wrong. DS blogged her session here http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/news/...channel-4.html Quote:
Greenwood popped up every few minutes to say "tell us what the weather's like Francis."
Christine Bleakley wasn't a journalist either.

Really? I suspect most people tune into Countryfile on a weekly basis neither knowing or caring who is presenting that particular episode - they're watching Countryfile for the show, not the presenters. I think the reason the figure is lower this week would be down to a combination of being on halfway through an hour long run of Coronation Street, and the Paralympics getting a better than usual share on Channel 4. I mean I like the show and wasn't aware beforehand that Helen was presenting this week

I also just want to point out that an impressive timeshift doesn't negate an impressive overnight rating. There seems to be an emerging idea amongst Doctor Who fans that the two are mutually exclusive and they aren't. If memory serves both Downton Abbey and Sherlock and boast pretty impressive timeshifts (and Sherlock can add impressive iPlayer stats to that as well) and both of those do incredibly well in the overnights. (Also what was Call The Midwife doing in timeshift? I honestly don't remember)

Your are entitled to your opinion but I like presenters with knowledge and gravitas, Baker and Skelton are certainly not competent enough, their place is on kiddies tv.

Matt Baker has done Countryfile for years when it rated well and all of a sudden as if by magic viewers have had an epiphany that they don't like him as a host? Not likely. The viewers went to Coronation Street and possibly The Paralympics.
. He's been presenting Countryfile as a main host since its relaunch and I don't think anyone miraculously decided after 3 years that they didn't like him anymore. But the presence of Helen on the show allows the tired "kids TV" argument to be resurrected by people again even though it's seriously out of date

The Doctor Who episode last Saturday has already time-shifted 1m.
anyways Sunday, nice peak for the Paralympics, very good rating for Family Guy, odd given that it was a Meg episode. ITV1 might as well have been renamed ITV Flop Zone, if its recent ratings are anything to go by. |

But note trickytree's comments. Looking at the provided link, 10 years ago, the "true" others were getting just under 20% share, last year they got over 26%...

The interesting thing about the 'Other Channels' is that over the last few years, although it has grown, its largely been due to the digital portfolio of the terrestrial channels themselves. For the last couple of years the main terrestrial channels as broadcaster groups have held their market share and stopped the rot, and mainly by their additional channels. So, although the main channels contribute less in total terms, content from the main broadcasters is being watched.
http://www.barb.co.uk/facts/tv-trends?_s=4 Yet ITV1 has fallen much more than BBC1 over the same period. I guess that shows just how well the ITV digital channels have performed during the period. |
