Some rather respectable ratings for daytime there. What about All Over the Place USA at 7:45am (both days) and all ratings from 17:15 onwards yesterday?

On school days Daybreak is getting around 670k and yes it does tend to drop during school holidays. Every re-launch has seen a drop in viewers, so oddly the must successful run of the show was with Christine Bleakley and Adrian Chiles.

Good rating for this. Shame it's all ready been cancelled so is only 13 episodes I believe?

Are there any figures for Geordie Shore?

It received the usual, irritatingly high level of promotion on the MTV music channels

Yeah only 13. Don't see why it was cancelled. Thought it was good last night.

So Daybreak didn't capitalise at all on the BBC strike. I actually thought the ''revised'' BBC format of a straight 30 minutes of news followed by a feature in the ''back'' half-hour worked well - perhaps ITV should try it ?

Any ratings for the vampire diaries on itv2 last night

It is doing well isn't it?
What figures did Gabby pull in then, does anyone know?

I do find that strange that in the end it was chiles and bleakley that earned most viewers for itv. I dunno if by the time lorraine got there viewers had decided on what channel they were watching with their breakfast. But it will take some time for itv to regain any kinda of momenteum

Bbc breakfast is well handled but could use a challenge.

Not that strange, considering how successful Chiles and Bleakley were in building up a strong audience for The One Show on BBC. A number of viewers would have tuned into Daybreak because of them, but gradually drifted away when they realised the pair were not suited to early morning TV, and the naffness of Daybreak in general.

The blame for all this lies squarely at the door of whichever BBC executive decided it would be a good idea to get the ginger whinger to present Friday's One Show.

Wasn't this a bit of a dodgy period for BBC1 comedy? Lots of new sitcom formats that didn't really do that well.

Any ratings for Geordie Shore?

Jay hunt was the bbc executive for bringing in chris evans much to the dislike of chiles who saw his presenting role being dimished by her decision. She offered him a chat show to pacify him but was told he was in a real sulk about being taken off the friday show. She did however try to persuade bleakely to stay.

But what actually happened is that the one show has had continued ratings success with and without bleakley and chiles so its hard to say if they actually were responsible for attracting viewers as a pair. The one show now looks like it can be presented and bring in an audience by any presenting couple and the hosts are not important.

Hideous numbers for Channel 4 in the afternoon.

Oh wow. Great result that for 10pm. No doubt Utopia underperforming has helped, but it's been a very good series and deserved this kind of response.

I agree. Channel 5 should recommission this for another series. It was the only decent performer (was last night's figure a series high?) in Channel 5's schedule last night.

Trisha USA seems to be growing, how much has it improved on Gabby's show?

I think last night is the lowest overnight so far but other overnight figures have been around 0.6m or 0.7m with +1 included so perhaps not a huge difference.

The timeshifts have been huge though, easily around doubling the overnight.

Deal or No Deal is not responding at all well to a bit of healthy competition. It's old hat now compared to the newer gameshows on the scene.

Almost twice as many viewers.

Thanks. Didn't realise her show did that badly up until its cancellation. So Trisha is currently on what, 200k? Gabby was only getting 100,000?

I think it should move to 8pm or 9pm for series 2, the fact it grew from a CSI repeat is promising. Bernidorm ER did good as well although I'm not sure if it was new or a repeat,

I'm hoping Jack Taylor does well, I've predicted 2m which may be a little optimistic .

Benidorm ER was a repeat and it did well considering, with nearly one million viewers.

I think 10pm is a fine slot for it actually. Don't think it should be moved.

Yeah I hope Jack Taylor does well too. It will be good if it does well, as then Channel 5 can finally have its own successful homegrown drama.

2 Million might not be optimistic hopefully as there isn't much in the way of competition, although I'd take a guess at the best 1.8 million.

BBC One went up nearly 4 points to 23.1% in all-day share yesterday after the restoration of proper news programmes.


Cheap schedule filler to plug a gap, I assume. It's good that they've got the rights. As others have said, it's nice to see a cartoon being used as filler rather than the usual bite-sized factual (I remember Channel 5 using a travel filler called Russell Grant's Postcards in this way back in the day.)

Yeah, just a couple of months ago they were using Meals In Minutes and rubbish like that to fill 5 minutes. It is an improvement but still I'm not sure it filling the gap there after a chat show can reach its maximum viewers. I'd say stick it on after Home & Away at 6.00pm, maybe 6.25 - 6.30pm.

The combination of some proper competition and an absolutely dismal lead-in really has sunk it this year. The numbers are really poor. Tipping Point ends next week so it'll be interesting to see if the numbers go up after that, particularly as Tipping Point's replacement, Ade In Britain, shouldn't be much of a threat.

I suspect we'll see Tipping Point back in that slot very soon though as it's done very well indeed there.
