It was obviously something they weren't meant to publish before an official announcement was made. But with ratings like that it was inevitable, I think it's outgrown BBC2 now.

Great rating for Bake Off.

I didn't notice yesterday, but that's a terrible rating for Monroe.

HUGE figure for GBBO. I didn't realised it was the final last night cos I would have gone 6m+ then on the RPG. Damn!!


And further proof this show shouldn't be taking a mid-season break based on that rating. A good rating for it and I fear this break may harm it when it eventually returns next year. Ridiculous decision when you consider where they are in American with it now.

Bad result for England, their hopes of qualifying for World Cup 2014 is not as good as youd hope in a group like this. Imagine the worst scenario that England dont qualify, it would be bad for both BBC and Itv without those 20million rating games.

I tried to watch either BBC1 HD (50) or ITV1 HD (51) just now and neither channel was available, so I did a retune and after 5 minutes my HD channels are now a three button click!! I wonder if it will affect Freeview HD ratings tonight? A lot of people will not notice until primetime, and may stick with SD until they can figure out they need to retune - there was no on-screen graphic message at all.

5USA is to extend its broadcasting hours to 3am on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Effective from 28th October.


This could be good news for audience share, particularly on CSI Sunday where the late night reruns can do very well.

Maybe they'll even be able to show the Emmy's live next year?

hope bake off going to bbc1 doesnt mean it will become dodgy like master chef did in primetime or they have celebrity specials, with iplayer etc it should stay on bbc2 let that channel have at least that and top gear that pull in big viewers etc

Sky have put the first episode of CBS's Elementary on their on-demand service a week before it debuts on Sky Living. First time they have done something like this.

That would be TV gold! Unfortunately it seems unlikely to happen

But a primetime Xmas special doesn't sound bad.

Also on some boxes (eg our Humax) these increasingly frequent messing abouts mean you lose all your series links without warning,

Had I not been aware of this happening today and so aware I had to put them all back in ASAP I would have lost recordings today as a consequence.

So some viewers are going to end up rather peeved if they had Emmerdale set to record on ITV 1 HD and do not get home from work in time to notice it has gone walkies.

This date and time has now been confirmed by the Apprentice's Facebook page.

I've seen a couple of reminders on BBC1 HD: one was added to the usual block-out message during last night's 6.30pm regional news, and there was a standalone announcement later in the evening. Pot luck if you saw it though (this was on Sky).

I believe that is a record high for the daytime version. Apparently a lot of people watch it on +1

10 THE CHASE (FRI 1800) 282 (for w/e 7 October)


Thanks for posting those. Cuckoo seems to be up on last week's episode which is a good sign.

Interesting to see how much better NBC did in the demo for the Presidential debate, compared to its competitors.

Cable News ratings should be out anytime now. I wonder if MSNBC wlll get another big demo number. Fox News no doubt will have got far more viewers for the debate than its broadcast network cousin.

Just wondering if anyone has the Overnights for last nights and last weeks Alpha's with or without +1?? Had a look on overnights.tv but it would cost me £160!! Can't find them anywhere else...


I think news events and current affairs seem to rate highest on NBC, must be a viewer loyalty thing, I think their nightly news and breakfast rate highest too, but I could be mistaken...

I seriously can't understand why people are disappointed about the GBBO moving to the number one channel.


Great explanation of why it should move.

If they must persist with this spin-off, then I think 8pm is a good idea. It helps to differentiate the show again and besides, it's not really strong enough to carry the 9pm slot. It should prove a much more effective competition to Emmerdale than Waterloo Road, too - skewing towards men and ABC1's to a much greater degree.

If Great British Bake-Off does wind up on BBC One, I think it needs to keep an 8pm slot there too - I guess Holby will keep Tuesday, but Wednesday or Thursday would be fine. I'd rather it stayed where it is, frankly, but if it's able to add a bit of badly-needed ratings heft to BBC One's pre-watershed weekday schedule then perhaps it's worth it.

They could use the move to BBC1 to shorten Holby's run? Which could be great for the ratings of both shows, Bake Off gets and EE lead in and Holby's storylines aren't stretched as much...

I reduce my prediction for Emmerdale live from 9.5million to 8.5m. Ratings so far this week havent been great - only 0.5m better than last week - and the live episode has been dull, missing the excitement and edge of your seat moments which Eastenders and coronation street live episodes had.

Strange that BBC Scotland have always shown their national team on BBC1 yet BBC Wales when they had the rights kept them on BBC2, generally causing less disruption to the schedule.


If CTM is on Christmas Day (which it shouldn't) I'd switch it with EastEnders.


Probably the highest ratings in the 8pm hour ITV will have all autumn!



I do think the third generation suffered by not having a link to the second, and it's surprising really they hadn't set one up considering Effy was quite crucial in the transition between the second and third series.

I do think Cook and Cassie both had endings in their eras which really should have been left unanswered. Now we know Cook is alive and we'll get some kind of answer that never satisfy viewers about Sid and Cassie. The Effy edition doesn't sound too brilliant either.


A real shame once again for BBC2 - and completely the wrong decision. It's a BBC2 show and moving it to BBC1 will only damage it.


Good in the meantime though for ITV to have games that matter.

Fox News had 11.1m viewers last night for the debate, should at least tie with if not beat their most ever watched 'telecast' - the Palin/Biden debate in 2008. CNN was down on the first debate, MSNBC was up but still third overall.

does anyone know what happened to an and decs gameshow pokerface that was on itv mybe 2 years ago ??? was it axed due to ratings or was it just not re commisioned due to itv having money probs at the time? it was a good show and far better than red or black or that push the button gameshow an n dec did. could even be a 5pm gameshow to stand in for the chase when its on a break from schedual etc

thats ant and dec not an and dec 8-)

Well, it was a long time ago when BBC Wales had the rights, they lost them in 2004, and it's not that unusual because they used to show a lot more football including the hilariously half-arsed FAW Premier Cup which certainly wasn't BBC1 material, so it sort of made sense to have all the Welsh football on BBC2. The only time it looked really weird was exactly ten years ago yesterday when England vs Macedonia was on BBC1 Wales and Wales vs Italy was on BBC2 Wales at the same time.

If BBC Wales got the rights to some live games now, they probably would put them on BBC1. But the Scottish games are generally bigger anyway, whether that's the League Cup matches they show or the Scottish national team matches. Wales were in a real state for much of the last decade or so on BBC Wales anyway, the second they got good they were on Sky.


Why shouldn't it be on Christmas Day, Brekkie? Is it because you won't be able to post your usual complaint about BBC1 showing the same things on Christmas Day?
