Oscars will do well methinks, because unlike most years it's far from clear who is going to win best picture.
More importantly is that people have actually seen this crop of Best Picture nominees. We're still in the first half of January and Lincoln, Django Uncahined, Argo and Les Miserables have already surpassed $100 million at the domestic US box office. Life of Pi is only just short of that ($95 million) and will certainly pass that mark this weekend. That means by the time the Oscar's hit the air this year at least 5 of the 9 Best Picture nominees will have surpassed $100 million domestically. Zero Dark Thirty meanwhile opened strongly this weekend with $30 million so has every chance of pushing toward $100 million come Oscar night as could Silver Linings Playbook. Its currently at $41 million and is widening its release in the run up to Oscar night. Compare that to last year where only one of the ten Best Picture nominees surpassed $100 million (The Help).

Re the snow, the fact it has snowed does not of itself have an impact on ratings, it is when it snows with such magnitude that people can't be bothered to, or simply cannot, leave their houses that it has an impact on ratings.

Particularly if they cannot get to work in the first place. If snow falls hard during the day, they are more likely to be stranded on a motorway or train during primetime than curled up watching the telly.

Nothing this winter has been of that magnitude.

Normally I'd agree but ratings across the day seemed slightly higher than usual.

Some daytime ratings I've found for BBC1 and they did very well from 9.15-1.00pm

9.15am Wanted Down Under 1.51m
10.00am Homes Under The Hammer 1.58m
11.00am The Sheriffs Are Coming 1.51m
11.45am Cowboy Trap 1.47m
12.15pm Bargain Hunt 2.31m

I'm slightly confused about American Idol. It premiers on Five* on Thursday night but it's on Channel 5 on Friday night.

Does anyone know what channel has rights to it?

It would make more scene airing it on Channel 5 after CBB.

It could get over a million!

I believe it's being simulcast on 5* and Channel 5 on Friday.

UK TV Ratings ‏@TVRatingsUK
#MyMadFatDiary last night launched on E4 with a disappointing 373k (2%).

That is atrocious in my opinion.
Channel 4 are very happy with it apparently!:

James MacLeod ‏@jamesmacleod
@TVRatingsUK #MyMadFatDiary not disappointing. It averaged 499k (E4 total) up on slot avg. About 8x audience for Girls on Sky Atlantic

Channel 4 Press ‏@C4Press
Great start for #MyMadFatDiary on @E4Tweets - launched with 500k last night at 10pm. Up on the slot average and drew 8% share of 16-34s.
Ouch - though becomes more of an "oww" when you add +1 in. Following Skins though I think it needed to be comfortably above 500k, but frankly a show centred around one character needs it's central character to be likeable and the viewers to be rooting for them, which certainly doesn't seem the case here.


Enough about ratings, time to invite you all to slag off ITV again:
http://www.televisual.com/news-detai..._nid-2378.html

A DIY show, with three judges X Factor stylee, hosted by Christine Bleakley. What could possibly go wrong?

It's got Tuesday 8pm written all over it!

LOL, is ITV using some sort of random TV show generator here?

Based on Splash being a hit, maybe my opinion on good TV isnt what it used to be, but come on, this is going to flop, it has to.

Doing well although not skewing quite as young as I'd have thought - must be lots of terrified mothers watching before they tear up the passports!
It's rating well. Last week's consolidated numbers came back as 1.84m (9.8%), that's without +1. Does well in 16-34 demo 627k (34% of total audience), again without +1.

Also, looking at Channel 4's overnights and officials, it seems that C4's timeshifting is dropping hugely. The real time viewing numbers are lower than the overnights, and the timeshifted figures consolidate it to a number that's a little higher than the overnights! Slightly worrying.

I've just seen on Channel 4's press site that The Last Leg will now start on Fri 25th Jan at 9.30pm

I can only see "My Big Fat Diary" dropping.

I watched it, it was billed as a new "Inbetweeners" type comedy. It wasn't.

The humour was very gentle/subtle (read as rubbish) or it was totally over the top but missing the mark and ended up just not funny (mum and new boyfriend making loud sex noises, food fight). It was some hybrid between a teen drama and a teen comedy with neither the "grit" of skins nor the amusement of Sugar Rush. It just fell flat.

It was also 1hr long... too long... it should be 30 minutes, it was 1hr where not a huge amount happened.

The lead actress was pretty good but the actual content was poor. I won't be turning in again. I will switch back to Girls which i recorded last night.
Miranda meets Skins, I thought

Depends where you are. I'm snowed in and I know there's been lots of school closures and office closures across the North East atm.

Add an average temperature of around -8c tonight and its not got above -2 today with the snowstorms and that can only help

Is that bad? What's wrong with us old people! We have all the money you know! The young have to spend it on university. I got paid to go to university! believe it or not.The govrt gave us cold hard cash! If you were poor like me.

I was part of the student union. We went round and threw up at anything moderately right wing. And we had a thatcher dart board.

Wow it feels only yesterday. Now I am married and watch Lewis! How things change.

Yes, according to the Radio Times it was delayed because Adam Hills has been in Australia and couldn't get back in time. Seems to have been some sort of cock-up with the dates.

Indeed. Tipping Point has really grown from two weeks ago when it had less than a million at the start of the show.

ITV wouldn't lose viewers after The Chase if it didn't finish 5 minutes early

Oh dear...

Although maybe this isn't quite as crazy as it sounds. DIY SOS is surprisingly popular and surprisingly popular with younger viewers to boot (if I remember rightly) so maybe there is some traction to be had in a DIY competition format. I can't say this sounds like the best way to realise that idea and you have to wonder how on earth its going to work. Are contestants going to be building bookcases on a live X Factor like stage and then have said bookcase construction critiqued by a panel of judges? Will there be a phone vote where we can pick our favourite bookcase? Or will it be out of the studio pre-recorded challenges like Bake Off? I'd assume Bake Off style. In which case I'd warn against writing it off too quickly. Competitive baking didn't sound great on paper but somehow that works...

Having said all that if ITV wanted a DIY competition show why didn't they just buy The Block?

The hour-long format does Deal or No Deal no favours at all now as the first half hour is little more than a prelude to the action - it worked much better at 45 minutes where it actually felt like the early opening rounds were more important than they actually were.

Antiques Road Trip is making me long for the return of Newsround in the pre-Pointless slot.

I'm hoping Death In Paradise can emulate the sitcoms last night and climb above 7m in the overnights.

This is its perfect home in the schedules - January, bringing some warm Caribbean sunshine to our miserable British winters.

It will be interesting to see how Marple does, which ITV plugged at the end of last night's Lewis. Of course they never mentioned it was a repeat.
I haven't seen any outrage from Andy 23 about it yet.....

I'm guessing pre-recorded, two houses get done up and the judges go and visit each one and pass comment then determine a winner.

I don't think it's the most ridiculous idea in the world. Then again, I thought that about Splash and apparently it's the most terrible idea ever to hit TV!

If it gets Tuesdays at 8pm then it'll potentially be against Love's other big show, Great British Bake Off on BBC2. Tbh I think it sounds like it might get that Wednesday 8pm slot.
