I watched the start of both shows last night Dance for Comic Relief and SNT both are what I would call utter s**t, these TV bosses really do have a low opinion of their viewers dishing out this mind numbing crap everyweekend and us the public stand for it week after week because there is nothing else on, well doesn't that just tell you the kind of state UK television is in?
Let's Dance for Comic Relief is just like watching the contents of sewer from start to end, I wouldn't mind if I knew any of the people who were dancing..who are these people are they celebs or are they people the BBC dragged off the street to pretend they are famous? because I don't have a clue who Lee Nelson is or what has he done to warrant being on primetime BBC1?..what has gone wrong with Saturday night TV at BBC1 its just awful, the same thing can be said about ITV1 opps sorry I mean ITV, bloody Ant and Dec who are as funny as a dose of Norovirus..I quickly switched off when they were trying to be funny...god helps if this is what TV bosses consider to be light entertainment.I am so.thankfull for prescription drugs...both shows deserve to get a zero audience on the Barb system but it will not happen as brain dead people like this rubbish....please don't get me started on Dale Winton's eyebrows...where the hell did they come from? |

7 million people can't be wrong, even though the show isn't my scene. Also it means ITV, after the end of TMO and Splash, now have a hit to see them through to BGT. Meanwhile BBC One seems to be floundering since SCD finished.

AVERAGE for 20:30 - 21:00 4.24m (18.2%) And here is the same information for the 21:00-22:00 slot:

AVERAGE for 21:00 - 22:00: 5.12m (22.3%) The overall slot average for 20:30-22:00 is 4.83m (20.9%), almost bang in line with my initial estimate of 4.85m (20.9%). I also thought it looked too high at first, but specials such as Prince Charles's Jubilee programme, the Olympics' Opening Ceremony, two weeks of Olympic sport, Sport Relief, Children in Need, the Strictly launch show and football boost the average, along with an above-average-rating series in the form of Silent Witness. |

Great rating for Takeaway and it seems to have delivered a real blow to Lets Dance. Over two million lost since the premiere and I seem to recall this happening last year too, big declines after a decent start? I think the BBC will go for something new in this slot next year, especially if LD can't rally a bit for the finale next week.
ITV seem to be having a bit more luck on Saturdays this year, even The Cube is rating quite well now with a good lead-in supporting it. I'm not sure why SamuelW is fretting, although it's highly amusing to watch. After all, The Voice is the single best show ever made, so it should have nothing to fear. Seriously though, people liked the auditions last year. They'll come back and watch that again. And the BBC tend to do promotion very well (having R1 helps a lot for this kind of thing, I suspect). Certainly the trend from the US is that even though people drift away during the live shows, they are happy to check out a new series at the blind audition stage. For ITV, having Ant & Dec means they'll at least limit The Voice and ensure they post a good, respectable rating of their own which might help out BGT too seeing as it's not starting at the same time as The Voice this year (although I'm sure Mark Linsey and co will express their shock when it launches in April, as if they didn't expect that to happen). |

The Cube has benefitted more from the SNT lead-in, as has All Star Family Fortunes with a DOI lead-in. |

Singing in the rain sketch. Piano sketch. Slapping your partner playfully across the face.
No, you haven't been watching Morecambe and Wise BBC DVD's scripted by Eddie Braben. All of the above have been on Ant and Dec this week and last. I will leave it up to others to decide if they're respecting their memory, or copying them. ITV4's coverage of the snooker has now finished, a triumph from start to finish, hope they will dip their toe in the sport again soon. |

I'm not sure why SamuelW is fretting, although it's highly amusing to watch. After all, The Voice is the single best show ever made, so it should have nothing to fear. These are the officials for last year's Let's Dance: Heat one: 6.84 million Heat two: 5.81 million Heat three: 5.87 million Heat four: 5.29 million Final: 5.88 million So it did slightly rally for the final. |

I think BBC1 has still won most of the Saturdays this year despite the early flops and the demise of Lets Dance hasnt it? The difference is that all of a sudden ITV have their expensive big hitters actually doing a show of their own that people want to watch-and the result is that Lets Dance has shed 2 million plus in a couple of weeks.

I think the 6 Nations is what's been keeping BBC One up this winter. They have had the appalling flop Secret Service this winter and Animal Antics hasn't done well. However, The Voice and DW are soon to arrive, which should keep ratings up.

Does anyone have the viewership figures of Storyville:I will be murdered?
BBC Four 22:00-23:25 - Storyville: I Will Be Murdered: 157k (1.0%) * slot average: 284k (1.8%) * average share for weekday factual: 1.8% Quote:
I do think that The Voice may struggle against SNT on its return. It ended series 1 on a low and I think the fact all the judges have been kept despite lacking chemistry on the live shows will hurt it. .
What I cannot understand is why the BBC are pushing the series even later this year, close to midsummer's day! I can only think it's a necessity because of the coaches' other commitments, but it seems a bit bonkers and inviting a disaster ("Talent show costing licence-payers £22m is seen by fewer than 4m!" - I can just see the headlines in the Daily Fail). Danny Cohen will be doing a rain dance this June. Quote:
Ronant what were the ratings for In It To Win It, Casualty, MBB, MOTD, YBF, Jonathan Ross?
IITWI: 5.21m (23.2%) Casualty: 4.83m (22.2%) MOTD: 3.68m (25.7%) YBF: 2.86m (15.1%) exc +1 Ross: 3.24m (15.2%) exc +1 MBB wasn't on. Quote:

Trouble for Let's Dance. One of the contestants is injured and can't take part. So presumably there will be even more filler than usual tonight - 3 songs in the "pub karaoke" then?
I don't know why you take issue with the "pub karaoke", you know it's not a real pub. The messing around backstage is no worse, surely, than the backstage bits on BGT when they're not singing. If you're slagging it off as "pub karaoke" you may as well refer to items on Takeaway as "pub quiz" and "reading out people's Tweets". Everything's going to sound crap if you say it like that. If it works on screen, it's OK. I know Steve Jones is an idiot but I don't understand this thread's obsession with Let's Dance, it is the fifth series but The Cube is on its sixth series now and nobody's moaning about that and saying it's tired. Same with Take Me Out, and that has made far, far more episodes in the past few years than Let's Dance which lasts four or five weeks. If you find a succesful format, which that is, you're always going to recommission it, and add to that the fact it's for Comic Relief who are always eager to put familiar stuff on air because they need bums on seats, the whole aim of it is to make money. I watched last night's on fast forward after the Liverpool match and I can take or leave it but there are umpteen more LE shows that are in greater need of the axe. Quote:
Elizabeth R got 19m in 1992. Strangely the Beeb allowed ITV to air a repeat of it at Christmas that year and that pulled 8.5m (winning its slot)
Quote:
According to Televisions Greatest Hits it was 9.1 million from 11.15pm on 17/8/91. I think this was around the premiere time of Terminator 2: Judgement Day which presumably is what inspired the highly impressive figure.
BBC1 5.20 Stay Tooned 5.45 The Flying Doctors (you forget this was on BBC1 for weeks on end for a couple of years) 6.30 Roy's Raiders - dreadful sitcom about motorcycle messengers by Michael "Honey For Tea" Aitkens 7.00 Columbo 8.10 FILM PREMIERE - A Chorus Line 10.05 News 10.25 Casualty (repeat, when it was still on a Friday and they repeated it the following summer) 11.15 The Terminator Meanwhile on BBC2 at 10pm was all three and an half hours of Heaven's Gate, famously the worst film ever made. And on ITV, this stinker of a line-up, which is an exellent reminder of how everything used to close down in the summer... 5.40 TV MOVIE - Thunderboat Row 7.30 The Two Of Us (repeat) 8.00 TV MOVIE - Peyton Place: The Next Generation (on Granada, although the variations panel points out many other regions are showing another film called Stuck With Each Other) 9.55 News 10.20 Richard Digance (sadly not his previous serries, the majestically titled Abracadigance) 10.50 TV MOVIE - Hands of a Murderer (though Yorkshire opted out for football) Quote:
21:00 - 8 out of 10 Cats: 1.42m (6.1%) / 1.72m (7.4%)
21:35 - The Last Leg: 941k (4.2%) / 1.13m (5.0%) 22:05 - Alan Carr: Chatty Man: 1.47m (8.4%) / 1.70m (9.8%) Quote:
22:00 - Heading Out: 1.84m (9.6%) inc 136k (0.7%) on BBC HD
Quote:
I notice that Mayday got an absolute slating in today's Times, noting it is quite simply one of the worst dramas in ages, and that the second episode is so bad it's unintentionally hilarious.
Scathing - and it's on 5 consecutive nights. If that review is half-true, then BBC1 has a bit of a problem. Quote:
Launching on a holiday weekend though seems daft...
Quote:
I don't think this has been confirmed at all, and won't be until Wednesday. In fact the provisional schedules show rugby on BBC2, with BBC1 showing News at 7, TBA at 7.15, In It to Win It at 8, Casualty at 8.50 and Mrs Brown at 9.40.

Monday 25 February 2013
BBC Four 22:00-23:25 - Storyville: I Will Be Murdered: 157k (1.0%) * slot average: 284k (1.8%) * average share for weekday factual: 1.8% The Voice UK rallied for its final on 2 June 2012 with 7.14m (34.2%) overnight, 8.54m (36.3%) consolidated, after falling as low as 4.49m (28.7%) overnight for the semi-final performance show the week before, shown at 18:30 in a heatwave (to make way for Eurovision and the friggin' lottery draws). What I cannot understand is why the BBC are pushing the series even later this year, close to midsummer's day! I can only think it's a necessity because of the coaches' other commitments, but it seems a bit bonkers and inviting a disaster ("Talent show costing licence-payers £22m is seen by fewer than 4m!" - I can just see the headlines in the Daily Fail).

Saturday night Light Entertainment has always been low-brow
We had such classics as Game For A Laugh Big Break Generation Game Beadle's About Blind Date...... etc.... These show were widely derided for their silliness at the time, but they were ratings gold. I think Ant Dec are very divisive, geniuses or gits to many.....I do admire the rating the show gets, but their plagiarism is just lazy. |

In the case of the last three, they were actually quite good. Game For A Laugh was always poor, but attracted 17 million viewers in its heyday.

Not a bad rating at all for a new sitcom, clearly Sue Perkins is enjoying a great deal of personal popularity. BBC2 has a decent slate of comedy at the moment and for the first time in a while it actually feels like BBC2's comedy output has a cohesion and an identity of its own, as opposed to when they seemed to be half BBC1 rejects, half too big for BBC3. I went onto the iPlayer to see the Good Life-type opening credits that he referred to and I stayed for the opening joke. A woman at the vet with her injured cat. "He was struck by a car, but on the plus side, it was a Prius so the carbom footprint was very low". That has to be one of the worst jokes I've ever heard in my entire life. If I was a script-reader for BBC Comedy, the script would have been in the bin at that point. But doubtless, as it's Sue Perkins, it was probably commissioned sight-unseen. I suspect this comedy is every bit as awful as O'Sullivan says and I confidently predict it will be below 1m by the end of its run. |

SNT without +1 - 6.74m (30.1%).
Does anyone know if half term is this week. I only ask as the share numbers seem very high for low-ish audiences. |
