321 was a hit with the core ITV demographic because, although completely stumped by it, they felt good about themselves when watching it, as if vicariously sitting a Mensa test or completing The Times crossword.
I guess Loose Women and Jeremy Kyle perform a similar job for the demographic who would like to say they watch Question Time but would feel a bit out of their depth if they tried it. |

Voiceover for Dancing on Ice... "Skating starts, next Sunday, 6:15 on ITV." - meaning that the rebrand will be before next Sunday.
Edit - contrary to that is this: http://www.tvforum.co.uk/forums/post854794#post-854794 |

How about we compromise and say B-list?

Just seen the Doi trailer, in amongst the sofa adverts : not content with ripping off Strictly for the format, they're now ripping off the classy style of trails...
It's still Asda to the BBC's Sainsburys. |

It's still Asda to the BBC's Sainsburys. I love how you're trying to make Strictly out to be the height of class too. It's a celebrity dancing contest, and one of the highlights of its ten series run has been an overweight politician making a tit out of herself every week. It does what it does incredibly well but don't try and make out it's something that it isn't. Anyway, you watching ITV at this time Robbie - surely you're not a Wild At Heart fan?

As ITV sheds viewers this doesn't benefit the BBC in the long run. Superstars should have been beaten but reigns supreme through lack of any kinda X factor on ITV.much as I like to see it being beaten by the beeb its only a win when there is an equal fight. I am beginning to hope for ITV to command 10 million again for a good entertainment programme. The wilderness does nothing to motivate the BBC and keeps ratings panic headlines out of the media

Shouldn't you be a Mirror reader? ![]() ![]() Nothing of the sort, liable to bash either of them with the same intensity. However when ITV occasionally get it right, they really do, unlike the pretencious vomit inducing BBC. Oh ok perhaps I am an ITVista

The BBC's performance seems to be mainly down to ITV's. If ITV actually gets its act together, the BBC is deserted. Actually, what does the BBC even do?

Yes, how dare they try and do a classy trailer to try and sell their show. Criminal.

Clearly intended for New Years Day, they obviously moved it back to today for some reason! |

Won't happen until BGT I'm afraid, unless any of the other entertainment shows such as Saturday Night Takeaway or Catchphrase come out and surprise us.
Splash could yet grow into a hit and/or Dancing On Ice recapture some former glory. You never know. |

Just seen that Wild at heart got 11million viewers for its first ever episode. Wow, i didnt know it had so many viewers. Why did so many people watch the first episode, was it the most plugged show for many months beforehand with a big marketing campaign? I dont understand, no other brand new drama [besides Inspector Morse spin offs] used to get remotely close to 11million in 2006.

Predictions for Wild at Heart? Never watched it, but for what it is and the fact it's the last ever episode of a show that got an official rating of 10.83m for it's first episode, I'd be expecting minimum of 6m.

I am pretty well lost with the BBCs current plans for Doctor Who, and I love the show, ever since the specials it feels like scheduling has been inconsistent how many times can the BBC continue to use of promo space to remind viewers that Doctor Who is back, be it for 5, 6 or 13 episodes this time around.
Keeping messing it around, and people will start to miss when the new series (re)starts. |

Edit - contrary to that is this: http://www.tvforum.co.uk/forums/post854794#post-854794 Saturday the 5th would be good - FA Cup 3rd round, launch of their big new LE show plus 2 other new series. Or Sunday the 6th with the return of their big Winter LE show plus the launch of their big new period drama. But the 14th - with part 2 of Cornwall and the 2nd part of 2-part Lewis story?
