Don't you get bored of posting the same thing every time EE's ratings come in?
They are not going to shoot up until there are storylines which warrant it - probably Xmas now. I don't know what you are expecting for what are generally filler eps. Maybe the episodes should be stronger for this time of year but a lot of that will be down to the previous producer and it is a separate matter entirely. For what the episodes are it is not rating badly at all. The other two are hardly doing much better. The way you react you would think that's all I ever do, open your eyes and you will see my posting history on this thread runs to more than taking a pop at EE, my interest in all things Aussie tv/ratings is plain to see. Now in your post you talk about the other two, well I'm not in a position to judge whether their ratings are a result of acting/scripts because I don't watch them so therefore I refrain from commenting other than the ratings figure. Dear god it comes to something when some take the dissing of EE's ratings performance as a personal slight, chill out and debate. |

Schofield isn't going anywhere but there's been no apology over the Schofield's List just that the card possibly showed the names. I think that apology may come if Ofcom rules that This Morning made a mistake with that. I think they did and I'm no fan of David Cameron.
Interestingly, This Morning features each day for a week on i player on the new Sky catch up but laast Thursdays has not appeared...

Will Cowell poach John Craven for 2013?
![]() You have to think at that point, all the "im so cool I watch X-Factor" types, would be so horrified, they would turn off, and possibly watch Countryfile instead. As for those Top 20 officals, despite everything EastEnders still need the top. Surprised Russell Howard's Good News didnt time shift better than that. |

Did she run over my puppy, strange I never knew I had one.
So what's the excuse for Fridays abysmal rating, beaten by Emmerdale, the show is a mess and no amount of excuses can hide that. |

As I noted in my reply the other day - they DID in fact apologise on the show - at the very start of Friday's edition presented by Eammon and Ruth (as it always is on Fridays). It was a clear 'message from on high' type statement. And likely all that needs to be said.

From what I saw they apologised for holding the card in a way that people could see the names (they couldn't). It's the fact of doing the stunt in the first place that they haven't apologised for and they won't until they're ordered. But the fact most journalists and even non Cameron supporters are slagging Schofield and the show off for doing that speaks volumes.
What TM/Schof did was (poorly) try to negate any getting out clause Dave would have had (I've not seen the name you're referring to) by dumping the names in his lap I don't think Pip should resign, but maybe he needs to make a sincere on-air (second) apology |

Every one knows XF is well down this year but it won't stop circular discussion of it every week. I can handle that TBH it's pretty clear XF has had a bad series this year and SCD has done really well.
... but I'm a Celebrity somehow doing badly with nearly 11m despite this much weaker lead in especially from 2-3 years ago? I don't even watch it but the lengths people go to to put ITV down is just ABSOLUTELY, UTTERLY PATHETIC. Only a YOY rise would shut them up, and shut them up it would because they wouldn't remark on that, however unlikely it is in the increasingly fragmented industry each year. ![]() Grr. |

And of course Sachsgate, possibly the most overblown bit of social media driven mock-rage we have seen. It's fine to wage war on the BBC - with ITV's indiscretions hardly anyone gives a stuff. FWIW, if OFCOM finds against This Morning/Schofield, I think Philip should do the honourable thing and quit. He still has DOI, and all his other "cosy slippers" ITV ventures. |

Nobody made any predictions for Crime Stories (see my post yesterday). But as I noted it has scheduling issues given that it starts 10 mins before Doctors ends and the new time for Countdown from today is right in the middle.
From the thread on here it had some viewers (more than Bomb Girls seemingly!) But it seems to be rather quirky to promise it will hold onto most of whatever it gets today (just sub1 million?) I thought it was an intriguing experiment - a sort of modern Crown Court, if that had used real judges and they ad libbed throughout. The documentary/reconstruction tone of Crimewatch crossed with a Children in Need hastily written spoof episode of the Bill. Could be an acquired taste though and worth a look on catch up just to see how a real detective with no acting experience almost out acts several ex cast members from Hollyoaks and Corrie playing the wronged and the wrong uns! And I do applaud ITV for trying something really new. The problem is that after the superb spoof comedy documentary about the Olympics this was similar enough in format to have half a thought that it was intended to be hammy. You just wish in the end they had brought back the Bill and told the same story that way. But - hey - it was very different and you have to give points for trying. |

Another great number for Strictly - I'm forever surprised at how many people are willing to watch a recorded results show, and how well the media generally keep schtum about the result. Yes, you can find it on the DS boards, but the popular media never seem to spill.
Also a fantastic figure for I'm a Celebrity. I've always found this one baffling to explain, but for the past few years I've credited XF for it's revival. Clearly, it's more than capable of sustaining itself, though. Interesting to see Andrew Marr rise. It just goes to prove that Downton is the single most difficult opposition for BBC One to schedule against all year long. With all of ITV's other major offerings - BGT, XF, IAC - they can retreat to the sort of comfy ABC1-skewing content that is their trademark. Uniquely, with Downton Abbey, that doesn't work for them. I imagine the subject of Marr helped last night, too - he was into the 20th Century. People are fundamentally happier watching a documentary about Hitler and recent history than they would have been a few weeks ago, studying the significance of the rise of the Mongol Empire! (More's the pity - I love a bit of history, and its a shame there doesn't seem to be an audience there on primetime BBC One for it. I hope they keep trying, in different ways.)

The press pack for new 3 part ITV drama 'The Town' is now available. So I guess that will be airing between I'm A Celeb finishing and Christmas.

If Cameron had been (for sake of argument) on The One Show and confronted by Matt Baker with a list of names cobbled together from a 3 minute internet trawl, not only would the story have been running for the past 4 days putting him under intense pressure to quit, the DG would probably have been forced to go too.

I don't care for the hysteria surrounding the BBC at the moment. I happen to love the organisation much prefer it to the pay-tv sector of Sky (just like I do with ITV) Clarkson furore was mainly about him and what an odious (in some people's eyes) person he is. Sachsgate was a quick way to attack Jonathan Ross for his allegedly large salary (despite the misleading use of figures to justify the attack) Any attacks in Parliament are done by opportunist MP's wasting their privilege to make comments about 'news worthy' matters to try and impress their constituents. This isn't just a leftie tactic, I think you'll find that parties from both sides of the chamber do this There may well be a vested interested in News International/Daily Mail and General Trust pathetic attempts at blaming the BBC for everything from Savile's alleged action and the moral state of journalism, but that doesn't mean the public at large fall for it. I daresay the majority of people don't really care about the news process within the BBC |

XF was scheduled 8:05 to 9:50 on Saturday and finished 7-8 minutes earlier. Does it go up against Strictly on Saturday?

While ITV's dramas have improved it was mainly their period dramas that excelled imo (Mrs Biggs, The Scapegoat), their contemporary dramas are still lacking something (Leaving, Homefront, Monroe) so I have my doubts about it quality-wise. |

Do we know if there is a specific group of viewers that are turning off X-Factor? Personally I suspect more folks have engaged their bullchit antenna & aren't prepared to be watch fakery any longer.

Compared to the same week 12 months ago :
Emmerdale - 7.04m (32.9%) Coronation St - 8.32m (37.2%) Eastenders - 8.05m (34.5%) Coronation St - 8.24m (34.1%) (without timeshift) Christmas Day will be interesting, the way things are going here it might get beaten by Downton Abbey AND Coronation Street. Quote:

Also you need to remember that the BBC get a lot of privilege in it's war against ITV. Things which you never take into account when comparing their ratings. (No adverts, radio cross promotion,guaranteed income, Button 1 on TV's etc etc). You have to realise that there are a few negatives as well (greater scrutiny) so you can't moan on the few occasions they come into play. |

Interesting to see if the initial rating for IAC turns out to be its highest. I think its happened before-it certainly has with DOI.
