Very bad rating for XFactor final, worst final ratings since 2005 and beaten by scd by nearly 2m. A disasterous evening for Itv shows around XF, not even 2million for McFly. Did BBC1 even win peak time on XF final night
?That rating is actually quite a bit higher than I expected - in previous years the Saturday final has seen next to no boost on the previous few weeks, whereas last night's show was over a million above the last few weeks. In 2009 the Saturday final was flat vs the previous week, in 2010 it was up +0.4m and in 2011 it was up +0.3m. Last night it was up +1.5m. I know the numbers are down year on year (as they have been all year) but surely that deserves some credit? Terrific for SCD - it saw a similar boost against Justin Bieber's show last year which also appealed to nobody. Dismal for McFly. |

That is probably on the ITV favoured measure, which obviously Paul ITVista Millar will prefer too.

The Voice will also have to become stronger too though next year if it is to survive, its ratings along with production values were considerably lower than the X Factor towards the end of its run. The average for the series was massaged by a novel start. This show was bought by the BBC to be populist, it needs to deliver an audience.

Seems obvious to do a few more Chase specials for the weekends.
These youth orientated music specials can't draw flies. S Club's did okay but I don't think it went out after 7pm. The only special I can remember doing good business in primetime was An Audience With The Spice Girls. |

Are they having Corrie on before XF tonight?
Last week's Sunday Corrie only managed 6m so I don't know how good a lead-in it'll be. Did it face Strictly last week? |

The problem was that they didn't promote it too well for being something a little different. The McFly Show had a sort of Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway feel to it or whatever... lots of silly comedy and a lot more appeal to someone who isn't a big fan of their music.

If SCD 'wasnt' on against XF would it make a difference? Can't see the same audience watching both shows

No Corrie? But The Royal Variety Performance meant no episodes on Monday. I'm confused.

I think because it's McFly people would have just thought it's music and ditched it. People seemed to like it but as you say I hardly saw any trailers....if any.
& that was another weird thing about it, lots of references to 'that dance programme on the other side' including a bit of an argentine tango between last years finalists - while it was still airing on the other side. |

Unless they change the schedules, apparently The McFly Show will be repeated on Boxing Day afternoon, so it will be interesting to see the ratings then.

It's actually 16% up on last Saturday's rating.
With X Factor, its ratings have been at certain level all series, so we shouldn't be surprised that ratings have risen as much as they have for the final. So why should we expect a big rise for EastEnders on Christmas Day rather than a modest one based on current ratings for it? |

ITV like doing these shows at Christmas where they think if they get young music stars they'll get lots of young people watching. Doesn't work. Justin Beiber is a global star and his special tanked. They'd be better off doing specials of The Chase.

It's actually Who Wants To Be A Millionaire tonight. Could have sworn Corrie was due to be on tonight. It does show that if a programme goes out in midweek and displaces Corrie, when ITV say "Sunday is the only place it could go" this proves that's just not true. But we knew that anyway.

And Sunday will be up as well. It's The X Factor final.

Crikey, between Samuel and Robbie I think this thread has used up its quota of

Presumably they still do the music specials for reach or demographics. If they never did any and just aired The Chase, wouldn't they be slated for relying on the same few shows all the time?
Also if anybody dared to say The Chase specials are lazy scheduling and yet praise the ratings for Pointless Celebrities, well I'd have my hypocrite klaxon on standby.Quote:
Corrie was displaced on Monday and the episodes aired on the previous Sunday. Wednesday and Friday aired as normal, as do all next weeks.
Thanks for explaining that.Quote:
Because it's Christmas Day. Ratings are always all over the place on Christmas Day due to more family viewing and less watching on secondary TVs.

Better than expected ratings from both XFactor and SCD, I was expecting X Factor to stay in the low 8ms.
However judging by my performance in the predication game, that should be of no surprise to anyone.

Unless it's some old grannies favourite, these music specials never seem to do terribly well. I doubt even a One Direction special would get over 3m. There seems to be a very low ceiling for this type of show.
These music specials are really in fact 'An Audience with...' |

Without the National Lottery Awards, bbc1's benevolent equivalent of putting on the testcard, txf may not have even peaked at over 10m and would probably have averaged less than 9m!
![]() BBC1 couldn't have done more to help X Factor if they'd screened a caption all night that read "Watch X Factor tonight on ITV1 and receive £50 off your licence fee next year".
