I used to laugh hard when Larry or Bruce hosted, but Jim D was dire as ever and pretty obnoxious. Some shows were of their time, but would seem stale in 2013. Ant Dec seem to think imitation is flattery.

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.
They have nothing else to put on so I see no harm in the Scotland match going on BBC One. It will get 4m I reckon and will do no better or worse than anything they could fill the slot with. I and many neutrals will be tuning in for that. Is it somehow against the law for the BBC one to show 1 six nations match in prime time. I think it fits in the slot well and will fill it for a week instead of some repeat. Ken |

And I'm sure that's how it'll remain, with the rugby on BBC2 because it isn't going to be a decider and the fact it's the last match of the tournament is a non-issue, they've done it before. Bill McClaren's last ever match in 2002 was on BBC2 and that was the last match of the tournament. And the Six Nations committee don't care, because nobody could say the BBC don't give the Six Nations all the support and promotion they can. I've seen the trailer for it about ten times this weekend.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regarding The Voice scheduling, I think the BBC could ensure they have the upper hand across the spring. With Britain's Got Talent not airing for a couple of weeks, BBC One could ensure that The Voice airs across the 8pm slot forcing ITV to either clash (which would produce negative headlines for the commercial channel) or air Britain's Got Talent early. I suppose in turn, ITV could claim BBC One are scheduling aggressively as Britain's Got Talent has alway aired in the 8pm hour since the switch to weekly shows on Saturday night. Also, The Voice may be hurt more by a clash than Britain's Got Talent but I think it would be worth a go to avoid Takeaway. 18.05 Pointless Celebrities 19.05 Doctor Who 19.55 The Voice UK 21.10 Casualty 22.00 National Lottery Draws 22.10 BBC News and Weather 22.30 Match of the Day ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Talking of Takeaway, I thought yesterday was a very good show though admittedly not quite to the standard of the launch episode. It had enough about it to hold up across it's run in my opinion, though. The Cube and Jonathan Ross both benefited by the strong start to the evening...I'm not sure how Jonathan Ross did so well - I didn't realise this country loved Jack Whitehall, Carol Vorderman, a Russian Bond girl and Bruno Mars. BBC One had a steady evening; In It To Win It is a great performer for the broadcaster. |

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 Quote:
Wasn't at Christmas, actually, it was in July during the Olympics. A different time, then, presumably ITV put some money into it, like how both channels showed The Royal Family in 1969. The first showing of Elizabeth R was on a Thursday in February 1992, moving the Nine O'Clock News to ten, which seemed very unusual.
I think the Nine O'Clock News aired at 9.50pm that night actually (and I'm sure pulled a bumper figure) because the film was 1h46m or so, and of course it filled at 2 hour slot when shown on ITV with ad breaks. I do remember watching the end of the ITV repeat to see if they kept the "(C) BBC MCMXCII" credit and BBC logo at the end of the credits, which would be quite a landmark as it must have been the first and only time the rival broadcasters had aired the other's programme. Not like now with BBC/ITN/Sky credits on the Queen's speech each year and all this An ITV Studios Production on BBC1 programmes etc. What a saddo I was in my teens... And of course, they did keep it. Quote:
Doesn't harm shows at Christmas, does it? Easter has always been the home of big shows, famously Before They Were Famous pulled in one of the biggest audiences of the year at Easter 1997. It's a time when families get together and there are captive audiences, like Christmas.
Before They Were Famous did indeed pull a staggering audience but it was on Easter Monday evening, and a "back to work tomorrow" treat. Ditto when the BBC1 premiere of The Naked Gun pulled a eye-raising and totally unexpected 14.5m one Easter Monday in an 8.30 slot. Quote:
Kevin O'Sullivan in the Sunday Mirror did a real hatchet job on Heading Out today, which is unusual for him as he usually concentrates on easy targets like Eastenders and non-scripted fluff. (Other programmes reviewed in his column today: DOI. TOWIE, Celebrity Juice, Food Glorious Food.- only juice avoids the brickbats)
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. That O'Sullivan, TV's worst critic and an absolute cretin, didn't like it confirms my view that it will be a success, relatively speaking. Separately, I notice Cuckoo gets a late night BBC1 repeat after Matt Lucas. Good to see them trying to deliver it to a wider mainstream audience. And on Friday, we go back to 1994 and a re-run of The Vicar of Dibley in Rm 101's slot opposite Corrie. Wonder how well that will do (and what it will look like - surely it won't be squashed into a mid-screen square like Dad's Army repeats are on BBC2?), and whether they are testing the waters for a new episode after the repeats at Christmas? |

What it could mean is that BBC could air Pointless Celebs to perhaps 4m whilst the rugby attracts up to 3m die hards on BBC2 - which might together keep SNT in check more than the rugby on BBC1 alone getting 3.5m-4m and filler on BBC2 getting 1m or less. |

It's the last game so I wouldn't call it a dead rubber. It's not the biggest game but I would say it's bigger than the small FA cup tie ITV had a few weeks ago and that didn't do to badly. Ken |

But where LD dies is the fact the dance routines aren't iconic and nobody knows what they are parodying (contrast with the first run when it was Thriller, or Bohemian Rhapsody or something), and the dead 20 minutes of filler whilst votes are cast - listening to z-lebs in the "pub" murdering karaoke is not acceptable prime time far whether it's in a studio set pub or a real one. How we slagged off C5 for showing Saturday night karaoke when it launched.
I do agree that they're going they're running out of dances, and dancers - hence Lee Nelson for the second time, despite him being rubbish and nobody liking him - but that's the benefit of only doing four shows a year. And I think what saves Let's Dance is that none of it's taken seriously at all, all the films are full of jokes and the judges just mess around and it's just a bit of harmless fun. If it was a proper competition it would be awful but it's not. I'll point out again, though, that the final is a complete anti-climax because they all just do the same dances again and don't even put any new jokes in them. Quote:

Well, of course folk do go away at Christmas, visit family and so on. But the summer months bank holidays surely see more people having a weekend away or just getting out for the day, having a meal on the way back, getting in late etc - maxmising their time off. Whereas at Christmas, TV watching is as much tradition as turkey and tinsel.
Quote:
I thought it was alright - a reasonably amusing comedy drama with likeable lead and a good cast. It felt a bit of a more straight-faced lesbian Miranda without the "trad sitcom-mery" of that show.
That O'Sullivan, TV's worst critic and an absolute cretin, didn't like it confirms my view that it will be a success, relatively speaking. Separately, I notice Cuckoo gets a late night BBC1 repeat after Matt Lucas. Good to see them trying to deliver it to a wider mainstream audience. I am not surprised that O'Sullivan slags off Heading Out, not least because, coming from the Kelvin McKenzie school of eighties tabloid excesses, a sitcom about a lesbian is unlikely to appeal to him. Like Robbie, I thought it was likeable enough, there were some amusing moments in it and I'll stick with it. I don't agree with those who say you can't judge a sitcom on its first episode but you should give it more than the first joke. Quote:

There simply is no way to predict the importance of the game until the Matchday 4 games are completed next weekend. Hm. If Scotland could still win it, then it would have to be on BBC1 clearly. Though if they do bill it on BBC2 and then switch it to 1, you will still be grousing, like in July when the tennis is on.... (but not when the Tour de France final day winner's procession was put on ITV1 of course) |

If BBC1 can afford to burn off the rights on BBC2, then they still have too much money.

Oh well, BBC are just gifting ratings to SNT. 7.30-8pm especially is just the buildup to the match, not even the match itself which will help Ant and Dec capitalise in the ratings.
I think Voice needs to be launched in the 8oclock timeslot, meaning it mainly avoids Ant and Dec. Doctor Who can be shown from 7.15pm. The FA cup didn't help Let's dance in the following weeks. If people who haven't been watching tune in the chances are they won't stick around when say the voice comes on. On the subject of the voice I would go. 5:40- A Question of sport(r) 6:10- Pointless Celebrities 7:00-Doctor Who 7:45-The Voice 9:00-Lottery 9:10- Casualty That would be okay I reckon. Doctor Who would probably loose out to SNT (not by much) in the overnights but timeshift back to beat it in the officials. At worst DW would be giving The Voice a over 5m lead in. Starting the voice before SNT I think is a good idea because I don't think SNT is that strong. It's facing very poor competition at the moment. I think the voice and doctor who can overcome it. That would mean no national lottery gameshow which means they will probably start the voice at about 7. which is to early and leaves them to be squeezed earlier when BGT comes along and the voice shows get longer. The BBC can get an upper had here if they play it right. Don't worry about SNT I say. It's sold but can be beaten when something better comes along. As let's dance proved in 2009. Ken |
