Some Things What I Have Done Seen In The Broadcast Comic
* The not very funny comedy troupe Pappy's are going to do a not very funny series for BBC3, its first studio sitcom for several years. in which the only amusement will come from the fact that Tom Parry from the act is younger than me and clearly going bald much faster than I am. ![]() Their live show might not help them make a sitcom, but I'm not surprised this was commissioned. Their Edinburgh show, currently touring, this year- Pappy's Last Show Ever- was amazing. One of the best performed hours of live comedy I've ever seen (and I've seen hundreds) and maybe better than the Adam Riches show that won the Edinburgh comedy award in 2011. As I say, God knows if they can make a sitcom work, but I'm not surprised it's happening. |

Astonishingly poor ratings for Thursday!
In a high summer heatwave, we might shrug our shoulders and think nothing of it - but it's autumn, it's cold, dark and wet. What the devil happened? ![]() ITV had Bletchley which wasn't as good as it should have been and BBC1 had two largely-unpublicised comedy repeats. BBC2 did well, though. |

More dire ratings! I imagine EastEnders and Emmerdale were below 6 million? Confusing stuff...
TXF dying, BGT dying, Em dying, Coro dying! More significantly after an atrocious summer of woe from which it has not yet recovered, is ITV dying?! |

I just think people are bored with them - none of the 'big 3' currently have any storylines which offer viewers any excitement!

I do think being on so often means they burn through storylines much quicker, but that's an unusually for them compared to the rest of the week.
I believe that is exactly why Call The Midwife was a huge success. After years of dull schedule repetition (DOI, LRTC), finally, for the first time in several years along came something different to watch on Sundays. And watch it we did! Will CTM maintain the momentum for series 2? Possibly but schedulers from all the main channels need to look at what and when things are on and maybe freshen up their offerings. It is so boring having soaps on all the time. Emmerdale has just seen five of its most liked characters transform into hideous caricatures of their former selves and the storyline is nasty, unbelievable and bizzare. EastEnders is going through a transgressional period but needs a bomb up its backside to get it going again, and Corrie, well, just too much of a once good thing. Reduce the episodes down a week, show new fresh ideas and put a bit of excitement into TV again. Sky seem to have grasped the concept of variety with their new commissions, so why can't everyone else? |

Good Cop a flop, new Waterloo Road uninspiring, Eastenders below par - is the BBC dying?! :yawn: What did you expect from ITV when up against the Olympics, Euros, Paralympics. You never did close the door when you "left" last week did you?

Waterloo Road is now possibly the biggest pile of shite on TV. Good Cop could have been a hit, but launching a very grim drama during the week when the nation was on a high and generally cheery was possibly its downfall. It would be like having Reservoir Dogs as BBC1's Christmas night movie.

Would make a change from The Thomas Crown Affair or Speed.
![]() So, yeah, I'll give you the point about Speed, but it wouldn't be that bad to see The Thomas Crown Affair again! |

I have a feeling Last Tango in Halifax will start on Friday October 12th at 9pm.
They've brought Paradise forward to usurp ITV's Mr Selfridge, so maybe they've swapped them and it will be next year now? |

6.3m for Coronation Street including +1 seems unusual. Is that right?
Excluding +1 it will be about 6.0m (full slot), meaning about 6.3m (tape-checked). |
