I thought it was unusual because in the winter, on a Sunday, we would be seeing 30m total audience.
Still, as mentioned before, staggering figure. |

Exactly, while people are excited by its high ratings, it is obviously down to the fact that it was an Olympic year and it was going to be a close competition. That is the reason for the high rating and it obviously won't be on the same scale next year.
judging by the tone of the promo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfKLSs_Yqhc im not so sure it will |

the question is will the Olympic Superstars, be one step too far, or will it produce a 10 million average?

Superstars will have done very well if it gets 6m in the overnights. The tone of the promo? It's just a bit of fun.

I thought it was going to be a bit more serious, the tone suggests "Olympians compete at their kids school sports day", then a test to find out which of them is the true sports all rounder.
Here it is in 1980. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ch_OawiLG6s Think of it as cut from the same cloth as World's Strongest Man. I'm sure, though, that our competitve Olympians will be going all out to be the Superstars champion. |

For those yesterday who were suggesting "Merlin" wouldn't be too dark and harrowing on Christmas Eve, and who are hoping for a happy ending may like to read the link below. Warning: It does contain speculated spoilers.
http://scifibulletin.com/uk-tv/merli...-heart-broken/ Now, with regards to that link and its contents, who thinks the BBC may receive many complaints regarding the scheduling as they comfort their children as they go to bed on the most magical night of the year in tears? |

But Superstars is, and always was, just a television programme. It's not a serious sports event. It's a light entertainment show.

Channel 4 have had the Paralympics which have been their highest ratings in a few years, so this must be one of their best years.

Also now they have The Grand National they have a big rated sports event for the next few years.

All this gnashing and wailing about Merlin is a bit tiresome. Ditto re Dr Who starting at teatime.
That link to the anguished blog about the final Merlin (all speculation) is actually quite hilarious in how sad it is. I was a bit miffed that David Renwick killed off Victor in the final One Foot.., it wasn't how I would have ended it, but it wasn't my creation and I got over it - it's television, it's fiction, it's not real! I bet there will be barely a word said about it in the mainstream media or in the real world, even if the ending is as bleak as the saddoes on the sci-fi forums fear (and they genuinely do seem "afraid"!) Some folk really do need to get a life.... |

That wasn't even on on Christmas Eve! |

Maybe the point Robbie is making is that in reality there's a bigger picture than when a tv programme is scheduled , given recent news events. Perspective is a wonderful thing
