WillHill currently has odds at 5/2 for Shrek Forever After being the top rated film on Christmas Day. This is a fantastic chance to get an easy £20 with putting £50 on!

Scheduling News
Channel 5 will simulcast an auditions episode of new season American Idol on the main channel. The two-hour series premiere airs Thursday 17th January at 8pm on 5*. Episode 2 will follow Friday 18th January at 10pm on both Channel 5 and 5*, after Celebrity Big Brother: Live Eviction. If American Idol is to be shown on C5, then it should be off-peak IMO. Weekend daytime (which I think ITV1 did one year) or late night |

Not often the ITV News at 10 beats the 9pm programme
Both the afternoon film and 5pm News seem on the low side compared to the past couple of weeks. Lack of Neighbours/Home and Away having an impact? Good to see Body of Proof improve (thanks ITV ). C5 9pm should be doing better than that, but it's doing better than quite a lot of other C5 9pm shows recently. Looking forward to it's C5 return on 8th Jan ![]() I can see why they are doing that, hoping it helps the 5* ratings - but using a foreign reality show bought for a digital channel as the lead out from your flagship entertainment show demonstrates how C5 still haven't sorted out complementary BB/CBB programming. The slot should be being used to start building up a comedy block, or a new entertainment format Body of Proof has 11 episodes left so I imagine CSI will air again in early March. Wonder if PoI will return in January as it has 12 episodes left to air, |

BB was becoming too expensive and was coming to the end of its shelf life on Channel 4. They were right to finish it, but should maybe have kept the celeb one. However, I'm sure there was still more life in Wife Swap and Super Nanny, which were still doing well and could have been kept.
Like you say, though, sport could be the future and they developed decent followings for sports they've done in the past. |

Fingers crossed then. Only negative is it looks like they will go by BARB officials so might have to wait a while for bets to be settled. But Shrek will timeshift more than Tangled so in a way it's another positive. P.S. The Santa Incident, a film I hadn't even heard of, is the worst 8/1 shot I've ever seen. |

Saturday 12th January 2013 - Provisional Schedules
BBC One 17:30 - Animal Antics 18:00 - Secret Service 18:45 - Britain's Brightest 19:55 - In It To Win It 20:45 - Casualty 21:35 - Mrs Brown's Boys (r) 22:05 - BBC News & Weather 22:25 - Match Of The Day ITV1 18:00 - You've Been Framed! 19:00 - Splash! 20:30 - Take Me Out 21:30 - The Jonathan Ross Show 22:45 - ITV News & Weather No excuses for Take Me Out in the New Year really, it may actually end up beating Casualty head-to-head or be very close to it. As I said last week, really unsure about BBC One's early evening line-up, whilst ITV1's purely depends on Splash. |

Coming out of DS hibernation once again to confess that I've lumped on this. 2/5 (not 5/2) is great odds for something that is 98% likely to land. The only danger is Tangled but it's on ITV and not as popular as the Shrek series, which typically do VERY well on Xmas Day. Shrek should win comfortably, I can't even see it being close.

Blandings confimed by the BBC Media Centre for Sunday 13th January 6.30pm to 7 o'clock. So no Countryfile/Antiques Roadshow sandwich for it.
Seems a no brainer, it's either a fine BSI screw up or it's a load of rubbish. An awful slot. |

Watched Last Tango In Halifax for the first time tonight. It's okay to do that cos the 2nd series has already been commissioned.
My mum has been watching and enjoying the series. I've often been in the room when it was on so I've caught the gist of what's going on. Last night I caught a bit more of it than normal and I saw the qualities that have made it a instant and sizeable ratings hit. The script is very good. The characters are very well drawn. The acting is brilliant. And the overall feel of the series is upbeat and feelgood, these being the particular qualities that have made New Tricks a big ratings hit. An upbeat, feelgood drama based around older characters played by talented, popular older actors. See the way to attract big ratings for your dramas, TV bosses?

Yesterday's movie was from 1996, whereas a lot of the titles they've been showing have been only a year or two old, so that's probably got more to do with it. Quote:

If American Idol is to be shown on C5, then it should be off-peak IMO. Weekend daytime (which I think ITV1 did one year) or late night But totally agree that generally speaking they haven't been using the CBB lead-ins to good effect. Low-cost factual aimed at 16-34s seems to be the preferred choice, but a lot of it is uninspired. They should be aiming higher really. It would be nice to see them be bolder with it, take some more risks and give viewers proper reasons to stick around. They absolutely don't want to be a one show station and they are in danger of being that when Big Brother is on if they don't do something more substantial in and around it. |

Well that's a bit daft. Hang it out to dry against Dancing on Ice, or sandwich it between two of your most popular shows?

I've never seen it as a big ratings player (despite the brilliant Fry and Laurie version of Jeeves And Wooster that ITV screened in the 90s. Not sure how well or otherwise that did in the ratings). But it would have been nice if BBC1 had tried it out between Countryfile and AR. They could have always swapped Blandings and CF round a few weeks down the line if it wasn't working out. |

I can see why Channel 5 bought American Idol, it was declining on ITV2, but still had a big enough following to merit being continued on Freeview and will also raise the profile of 5's digital channels. This is a clever move showing it on the main channel after CBB.

I watched a bit of Tango last night.
It's a bit Summer Wine isn't it, but with fewer laughs. Crossed with Emmerdale (Yorkshire melodrama with added lesbians). The acting is very good, Reid and Jacobi were the only real stand out of episode 1 for me but Sarah Lancashire was quite magnificent last night. Missed it tonight, but may check it out on iPlayer. If only for the lesbo action...

But then so did the Pirates of the Caribbean films and they always rated well. Shrek: Forever After did far better at the box office than Tangled, and Shrek is also at the heart of the BBC's Christmas campaign with special idents so that kind of prominence will also help. So yep, I can't see any other outcome. But I seriously hope we're right as that's a lot of money you've lumped on. |

I may have said this before but I've always considered this a strange commission for BBC1. It seemed more suited for BBC2 or even BBC4.

The ratings for EastEnders continue to rate lower than last year, I expected an upturn this week, however a core part of the audience seems to have switched off and are not returning in the run up to Christmas as Coronation Street pulls further ahead. It is similar to a pattern Brookside took when the audience drifted.
