I suspect C5 would take inconsistent considering the consistent ratings the show does actually get. The show gets a lot of posts here for something that doesn't move far from 1.2-1.3m - and hasn't really for the entire C5 era as far as the main show is concerned.
Next year, assuming both shows are renewed, I would swap them around so that CBB airs first. I know they tried that in the first year but BB ran through the autumn on that occasion and faced tougher opposition. It just makes more sense to lead with the higher rated show. |

Those that have read the embargo say the EastEnders news is surprising. We shall see.

SRO audience saying that Catchphrase is back in the Autumn. I wonder if they will make the episodes 1hr instead of 45minutes? If it stays at 45minutes, what would they show at 7.30 on a sunday for half an hour against SCD?

Wimbledon 2013: how the BBC got its coverage wrong This blog post is currently the most read article on the MediaGuardian site. The key paragraphs read as follows: Quote:
Tennis is still very much a minority television sport; if you want to follow the ATP tour on screen you need cable television. ITV bought the rights to this year's French Open and then broadcast it on ITV4, hardly a vote of confidence in the sport. Presumably ITV got the audience it expected, which is to say, not many. Because for most British people tennis still begins and ends with Wimbledon. Source and more: http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-rad...coverage-wrong
If attitudes haven't changed much, then expectations have, and not just in having a player with a chance of winning. Viewers have got used to sporting events being broadcast with some style and professionalism and the BBC is showing signs of lagging. The commentators were generally OK – McEnroe is better than OK – but the presentation felt tired and outdated. Sue Barker can't help being everyone's favourite head girl but her jolly hockeysticks enthusiasm doesn't really do the job. It feels as wrong as her telling everyone to watch the tournament in 3D on the very day the BBC had announced it was going to stop its 3D coverage as no one watched it. The BBC's main wrong note, though, came with the jingoism and sentiment that provided the backdrop to almost every day's play. There's nothing wrong with a bit of national pride but from the very beginning of this tournament the BBC took this to almost hysterical levels. What must it feel like to be Laura Robson, the object of intense interest by every BBC pundit for five days, only to be completely ignored by everyone for the next 360? |

Hehe, you'd think it was possible, reading this thread, but look at the officials:
Code:
1 EASTENDERS (FRI 1959) 8065 2 EASTENDERS (MON 2000) 7895 3 EASTENDERS (TUE 1929) 7651 4 EASTENDERS (THU 1927) 7449 Code:
1 CORONATION STREET (MON 1933) 8927 2 CORONATION STREET (MON 2029) 8898 3 CORONATION STREET (FRI 2032) 8301 4 CORONATION STREET (WED 1931) 8066 5 CORONATION STREET (FRI 1932) 7880 Not such a vast difference is there? And that's not including iPlayer on devices other than the TV. But lets not forget that Corrie was against Wimbledon on Friday and EE had trailers running for its BIG week |

Predictably great ratings for the tennis, could have been spectacular if Djokovic had won even one set. Should fuel interest in Wimbledon next year. Sky will hope it generates interest for the US Open but recent events suggest that won't be the case. Everyone else did alright in the evening it seems. Hardly a great night of television to follow such a big event! Quote:
It depresses me. More people want to see a load of people sing and dance compared to a truly historic moment that you'll be telling the kids about.
But the 17m peak? Amazing. Is that the highest peak of the year? Quote:
Additionally, much like the Olympic Opening Ceremony, those watching in pubs and on big screens could well have meant that the actual number of people watching actually smashed 30m. Also, given that BGT's pub-reach is surely extremely limited, Wimbledon probably did beat it.

This blog post is currently the most read article on the MediaGuardian site. The key paragraphs read as follows: Source and more: http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-rad...coverage-wrong All that need's to change is to move Today at wibldon to 10:35 on BBC One, extendi it to 75-80mins. Run Live coverage to 9pm on BBC Two insted of 8pm. Fixed. Ken |

Don't forget the Friday ratings were Wimbledon influenced, EastEnders got the Wimbledon lead-in whilst Coronation Street was dented a bit.

CBB is back next month which should provide a lovely boost.

As for Catchphrase - I would cut it to 30 minutes and film some proper Family Fortunes episodes with non-celebrity contestants at 30 minutes too and just get them in the schedules. They'd hold up over an hour better than Millionaire does. Quote:

If they insist on the two celeb series again that would be the better option, although with the World Cup next year I think they need an earlier start for BB - or perhaps push it back for a July start post-World Cup.
They'd just start at 7.15pm (didn't Strictly run 7.20-8pm anyway?) They've also got Surprise Surprise which will presumably air on Sundays again. As for Catchphrase - I would cut it to 30 minutes and film some proper Family Fortunes episodes with non-celebrity contestants at 30 minutes too and just get them in the schedules. They'd hold up over an hour better than Millionaire does. Another show. Suprise Suprise - it held up well against Strictly ladt year. Or possibly Fool Britannia, i did hear that was given a second series. |

It did somehow get a second series, but I think Off Their Rockers would be better for that pre-X Factor slot if they can turn that around quickly enough.

Why have they given it another series? Didn't it flop first time round?

Fool Britannia would be suited to the 6pm slot on a Saturday.

As mentioned, a non-celebrity version of Family Fortunes would work fine - I would suggest the idea to ITV if I were any of you lot, but every time I do suggest an idea, they require me to 'solicit' my idea and it just gets a bit too complicated. |

To borrow a wonderful expression you used earlier: holy shitballs! This got a second series?
![]() ![]() Isn't Fool Britannia a bit like Off their Rockers, Impractical Jokers (BBC3) and the new 'I'm a Celebrity, Get Out of Me Ear' segment on SNT? |

It looks like Five have beaten C4 seven times in the last fortnight in terms of overall share. Wonder if this will continue throughout Big Brother?
