Robbie was born into an itv household, but then he got all uppity and disowned his roots as part of his climb out of the backstreets of some Manchester ghetto.

He still watches itv but hates himself for it and he cant let on to his new middle class mates in case they laugh at him

Funny!!

LOL, he even admitted to it after we got him blind drunk one day and found his television tuned to Corrie, admitting he's never missed an episode in 30 years. The following day to atone he blew up a bingo to reduce the number of Corrie viewers in his home town.

Agree very unlucky for itv here bbc bore had abit of luck

Our family have always watched itv since I was young so that's the main reason I praise itv abit good fun though

Nearly a year since the Olympics can we believe it

How's daybreak being doing the last few days anyone got any numbers thanks

[quote=RobbieSykes123;66833689]Superb BBC1 performance for a Wednesday when itv had an hour of soap and its bafflingly popular dog show, and bbc1 had no EE. They trounced itv1!

Granted there was a bit of tennis to keep the Home Counties ladies happy after a long lunch and before pony practice... [/QUOT


Maybe if you were an animal lover then you might understand.

Whats more suprising is how people can sit through that waste of an hour on BBC1, those default viewers come in handy i suppose.

Its not exactly as iff EE is rating that well anyway to make much of difference.

Decided to read though some of the old ratings thread posts wow bck then you really did get proper ratings

rights are ownd by endemol not wall to wall they are just drafted and funded in by good oap fave bbc to make the show its endemol that make all profit

I'm like a mirror image of you George, aren't I!!

Have you been enjoying The One Show of late?

Oh dear! Another "newbie" who thinks the long time regulars need to conform to a more "accepted" agenda. Robbie is Robbie. He is harmless and also very humourous. Why do you feel the need to start your post with "Oh dear"? We are all different. If someone supports Man Utd and likes to besmirch those who support other teams, it's called good natured rivalry. We all have different interests. Just because Robbies may be different to yours doesn't mean you have a right to belittle him.

Exactly it's all good fun at the end of the day

Any predictions for the finale of Waterloo road tonight I will say around 3.5m but ratings wise this series has done quite poor compared to others it's future remains unclear

Order of play
Friday 5th July - 1pm start
Novak Djokovic vs Juan Martin Del Potro
Jerzy Janowicz vs Andy Murray

Well done Sabine Lisicki

Does anyone have the figure for Joanna Lumley's NIle last night on ITV at 10.35pm? Thanks in advance

Of course the BBC never over work their golden gooses do they?!

Holby, Casualty, Waterloo Road, Countryfile, Antiques, Pointless, The One Show, Masterchef...

Meanwhile us plebs in our Northern council estates were watching Emmerdale and not bothering about a game played by Southerners and toffs

Does anyone with the stats at hand, know what the highest position in the year end charts Wimbledon has come?

Of course a lot depends on how strong the rest of the programmes are in a particular year and what other sport is airing.

The perfect situation tomorrow will be if the Novak Djokovic match goes to 5 sets, resulting in a 4.30pm start time for Andy Murray's game. Then if that Murray game can hopefully go to 5 sets once again and he wins, we could be looking at another massive peak approaching 8oclock. I am looking forward to seeing Sunday all day shares, there will be some brilliant highs for some channels and some shocking lows for another one.

Errr.....Andy Murray isn't a Southerner! Last time i heard he was from North of England in a place called Scotland!

Also add Eggheads on BBC Two, only Wimbledon seems to stop this and they even run three year old repeats between series.

You like your farming programs then?

If its already known about it won't be shocking then will it?

On of course, it's all the fake shock that we get whenever BBC1 shows major sport at the weekend during the summer.

Imagine if ITV had Wimbledon, you would be wishing that Murray would be knocked out in order for them to have lower ratings.

The bias on this thread has reached the point of desperation.
