Maybe revive Take The Valium( err High Road) every night, which would probably persuaded more Scots to get a satellite dish and tune into English channels. Actually this was cancelled when STV realised most of the audience were either dead or over 70.
What they are appealing for is anyones guess, ratings, fresh ideas for programming.

Just logged on after watching the most incoherent and boring episode of New Tricks ever. I 'll watch the ratings with interest as there are complaints from the cast about the quality of the scripts and if next week's is as bad, people will switch off.
Interesting the link to the programme drew attention to this being the ninth series. |

Really interesting tactic by the ABC in Australia with regards Doctor Who. Rather than airing it on Sundays at 7.30 they are sticking to last years slot of the next saturday at 7.30 BUT the episode will be exclusively online within minutes of the UK episode having aired. So it premieres Sept 2nd 5.10am and is on TV on 8th Sept at 7.30pm, and this is apparently for all the episodes.

Well, I thought Citizen Khan went far better than I feared. I genuinely laughed out loud several times. Then it faded as the episode dragged a bit.
It's actually a half decent sitcom, with a likeable lead and supporting cast. I just think the "sit" isn't going to register with a wide mainstream audience (contrast with Mrs Brown's), and frankly millions won't even give a sitcom unashamedly set in the Birmingham Pakistani community a chance. With that in mind, I do think the Beeb missed a trick by not taking advantage of the Bank Holiday to launch it right after New Tricks - that the first 15 minutes was actually rather funny may just have snared a couple million more. I guess it will rate around the 2m mark this week, but suspect it's headed for the 1.5m's hereafter. |

Frankie leaving was the best thing to happen to Mock the Week. He became too overpowering a presence and not in a good way. Not sure he was well liked by his colleagues either. 'Edgy' C4 is the best place for him, nice and easy to avoid on there.
I suspect the key battleground tonight may have occurred in film as opposed to comedy, shaping up much better in that genre. Avatar (Film4), The Incredible Hulk (ITV2), Precious (BBC Two), Serenity (ITV1) and Airplane! (Sky1) combined to offer viewers a decent range. Lots of good movies on for the Bank Holiday. What a dire selection of films, If that's all the competition the comedy had, it might actually do well.

You clearly don't watch Mock the Week Dancc, Frankie is hugely missed, I still watch, but it has lost its edge bigtime since he left.

The overnight for episode 2 was interesting though - mainly because the peak was so much higher than the average. The average wasn't great but the peak was mildly encouraging and suggested that the earlier start affected the average. Next week it's at 8:10pm and back to 60 mins so it should be above 9m (with +1). Good start for New Tricks. A bit lower than last year but nothing to panic about - the Bank Holiday probably dented it a bit. |

That's OK considering the average when first reported seemed quite low, don't think anyone took in account people who were watching on HD and +1.
