I noticed after the Tennis the BBC didn't say 'EastEnders next' and then after EastEnders they didn't talk through the theme tune (and they played the extended one

) to tell Viewers the news would follow later then planned and so would the rest of the line up.

Remember the two points above, which both dented the average for last year, yet we still had a huge 11.44m (58.2%) average from 12:55 to 19:00. I'm going to go out on a limb and say it'll be equal, if not higher than last year, even if the weather is hotter this year. The roof shouldn't need to be closed, and there is no F1 FTA competition...

However with a huge lead-in, could be a big rating for the F1 highlights.”

You meant 12:55 to 18:40.

I noticed from the archive that the news bulletin that followed got 9.0m/40%!

The BBC's clever chopping of Sunday's programme into Men's Final Build Up (12:50-13:50) and Men's Final (13:50-18:00)* will of course lead to a higher average being reported than if they kept the whole broadcast as one programme like in 2012.

If they had employed this strategy last year, the overnights would have showed an average of 13.05m from 13:50 to 18:40, more than 1.6m above the average that got reported. So really we need to keep 13m in mind when looking at the overnight average for comparison purposes. (Or, if we have the breakdown, compare the rating for the full broadcast slot in 2013 v the 11.44m/58.2% in 2012).

I think it could go higher even than 13m, as long as Murray doesn't collapse in three sets, for the reasons you said - hopefully no rain breaks and definitely no F1 competition. The average share could be a lot higher in the hot weather: should be into the high 60s, one would think, maybe 70%. And the peak all depends on how long it goes on, but I think last year's 16.9m can be beaten, although it will be tricky.

Looking forward to the match and the ratings for it! (And tonight's of course!)

* Thanks Brekkie for bringing this to our attention - I've alerted Fudd as it may have implications for the prediction game.

Doesn't matter what the ratings will look like in the morning. It would be a default victory for Eastenders over Corrie. Unfortunately it won't stop the gloating even though things will be back to normal come Monday

I couldn't disagree more. In an era where we've got so much access to news (News 24, the web, talk radio, Twitter etc) it's so important to have a bulletin that can take a step back and analyse the day's events without obsessing about being first or speculating. This belongs on BBC1/ITV/C4. News 24 is no substitute.

Surely not as low as the episode that went up against the Olympics Opening Ceremony?

I think the final would have to get an overnight of at least 12.16m and above to manage to consolidate better than the BGT final (which consolidated to 12.23m). I say that because last year's final had an overnight figure of 11.44m and consolidated to 11.52m. So, small timeshift for live events.

I wonder how the weather will affect the Final tomorrow. I think it will bring the average down lower than last year. If it goes to 5 set's a Murray wins then it could be a big peak.

But I would much rather Murray win than a big rating ....... Unlike Samuel!

As for yesterday I reckon he peaked at 10m again. Really as soon as I came home and saw the first semi was still going I thought about this thread and some of it's members having Orgasms in the prospect of Primetime Murray!

Sorry to be so Crude!

Quite lively!

I assume that BBC1 will use the generous 70 minute build up show tomorrow to fully dissect and post match analyse yesterday's semi? Indeed with probably more depth and insight than in an ad hoc hurried wrap up last night?

that said, I do think they should have stayed on till 10, remindedviewersthat EE would follow at 10, and put the news on at 10.30.

We enjoyed last year's Murray defeat from the garden last year in one of the three hot July days we got in 2012, with the telly positioned in the summerhouse doorway to keep the sunlight off it. I assume it was as glorious everywhere else that day?

I don't agree. They had been on since 6.30 so I think we had more than enough to be honest.

They did the right thing in my view. If their was a repeat afterwards yes I would agree with you.

Im not sure the weather will have a huge influence over the figures. Murray has done well to make it to the final in a very composed professional manner. So I think his final will pull millions in to see if he can beat Novak. Murray is truly one of our greatest tennis players regardless of what happens.

I can't remember. The British Grand Prix was a wash out lst year so probably not.

I think it was grim in the East actually. Because I had no urge to go down the hut.

He will still do well whatever the weather. But it may take an edge off it. 5 sets I reckon is very possible. If Del Potro could do it Murry can as well. Talking of the weather it's glorious here already. Lunch and Dinner (Fish and Chips) down the beach hut!!!! I might even brave the murky depths of the North sea!

Well said. I didn't used to like Murray but he's really grown on me. He seems a nice bloke.

I really hope he wins because he deserves it.

Me either but I think the way he was very emotional last year and then how he has been with his best friend cancer battle and playing the most amazing tennis hes very composed. Who cares what it rates this has been one of the best wimbledon matches ever regardless of the figures for whatever media channel. Its the winning for the UK that's important.

It wasn't great in London, as they had to put the roof on!

I wonder how EastEnders which followed it managed. It would probably slot in at 7th or 8th.

Superb figure there was not expecting such a big peak. Plus the fact Murray won is even better.
