And Caroline Aherne writing a sitcom about security guards with Bobby Ball and Brendan O'Carroll aka Mrs Brown. That was announced earlier this year. Also at the ITV Upfronts they said more comedy was on the horizon.

Hopefully BBC can start Strictly after 7pm next year. Theyre always at a disadvantage starting SCD so early and they shouldnt be scared of showing SCD from after 7pm in the future because its established itself as most popular entertainment show.

Poor TXF - 2.2m behind the biggest show of the weekend, and 2.2m ahead of Merlin the show it goes head to head with.
Imagine if 2 or 3 years ago I'd said TXF's Saturday ratings will be bang on midway between Merlin and SCD. ![]() I'd have been laughed off the thread! |

Salford and Manchester-filmed The Security Men will star Oldham-born comic turned actor Bobby Ball alongside Ashes To Ashes and Marchlands star Dean Andrews. http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereven...e-security-menThe four-part ITV1 sitcom was created and written by Wythenshawe-raised Aherne and Jeff Pope, who were also the team behind comedy drama The Fattest Man In Britain. Due on screen in 2012, it features the men on the night shift at a fictional Manchester shopping centre called The Whittington. Sounded familiar. Plaza Patrol from 1991. Quote:

Strictly wouldve got even more viewers if it started after 7oclock. Look at the 5 minute ratings DMN posted, it rises a lot during the show. If it started after 7pm, its ratings would be even better
Saturday 17th November 2012 Strictly Come Dancing 18:30 - 7.76m (35.88%) 18:35 - 8.65m (38.61%) 18:40 - 9.28m (41.06%) 18:45 - 10.00m (43.01%) 18:50 - 9.73m (41.86%) 18:55 - 10.00m (42.45%) 19:00 - 10.26m (43.72%) 19:05 - 10.44m (44.10%) 19:10 - 10.71m (45.05%) 19:15 - 10.68m (44.67%) 19:20 - 10.67m (44.51%) 19:25 - 11.14m (46.37%) 19:30 - 11.01m (45.84%) 19:35 - 11.04m (45.96%) 19:40 - 11.39m (47.49%) 19:45 - 11.19m (46.24%) 19:50 - 11.45m (47.09%) 19:55 - 10.54m (44.86%) |

It is actually because the early start drags down its average.
Correct! Saturday 17th November 2012 Strictly Come Dancing 18:30 - 7.76m (35.88%) 18:35 - 8.65m (38.61%) 18:40 - 9.28m (41.06%) 18:45 - 10.00m (43.01%) 18:50 - 9.73m (41.86%) 18:55 - 10.00m (42.45%) 19:00 - 10.26m (43.72%) 19:05 - 10.44m (44.10%) 19:10 - 10.71m (45.05%) 19:15 - 10.68m (44.67%) 19:20 - 10.67m (44.51%) 19:25 - 11.14m (46.37%) 19:30 - 11.01m (45.84%) 19:35 - 11.04m (45.96%) 19:40 - 11.39m (47.49%) 19:45 - 11.19m (46.24%) 19:50 - 11.45m (47.09%) 19:55 - 10.54m (44.86%) And I don't see that first 20 minutes last night making much difference to the overall average. Nor will be the BBC be complaining about an overnight average of 10.25m, especially when ITV's two big shows last night were both trailing at 8m, and still trailing by a large margin even when +1 was added on. The BBC has got the Strictly schedule dead right this year, starting at 6.30 or finishing at 8pm depending on the running-length. (Next Saturday's show is 70 minutes long so it starts at 6.50). It's late enough to keep the ratings up and early enough to avoid X Factor and the possible fuss that a clash might provoke. Plus Strictly has to record the results show on Saturday so they have to allow time for that. |

Anyway they clashed for 10-15 minutes most of the time last year and nobody cared. So fuss is a nonsense excuse. |

Channel 5 changed their schedule to air a tribute to Larry Hagman at 9pm. Dirty Harry was pushed back to 9.30pm.

Hope the F1 peaked high tonight. Think it will be just over 6m peak due to the football, but it really deserves to be over 7m, even higher than that.

Well I said the same about Neighbours at the height of its popularity in 1988, saying people would see through the show, and eventually I was proved right as it now does the rounds on Channel 5 to 1.5 million viewers and is hardly ever mentioned, though to be fair, this is big for Channel 5.

Haven't BBC One commissioned a new puppet show form the creators of the Muppet. In that case they could push Strictly later and put the puppet thing on before?
Or is that not for next year? The chest looks bare to me. Ken In terms of a direct replacement for Merlin, the obvious one there is The Musketeers, which is a big 10 episode internationally-funded commission which seems along the same lines. But I've seen 2014 slated for that. I think it'll be a combination of Who and the Lottery alongside SCD next year (if indeed, Merlin is finished). |

I doubt TXF will still be going in 2035 to 25 viewers on Channel 732
Maybe in 2035 clips might appear on some TV Hell show so people can laugh at what we used to watch. |

Just saw the rating for the X factor. It really is below standard this year and lacks a spark. Not surprised by the poor rating. Strictly deserves to be ahead. It has a great line up with well known contestants and that is the reason the show is doing well.

The Cultbox article where the visual effects guy did some back pedalling. Yes he meant himself. Sure he did! *cough* And as I said that wasn't the only story, there were all of the other stories coming from the production location of actors signed to new jobs, the horses being sold etc. The clues were there. It wasn't exactly difficult to workout what was going on with the show. If I can work it out anybody can work it out! Learn to read between the lines people. |
