I thought New Tricks was starting in September again? Although I suppose it might start in August to take over the weeknight drama slot once Luther is done.

Wonder what night they'll put it on this time? It is starting to look a bit vulnerable with all the cast changes and could maybe do with a soft slot this time. Sundays against Downton seems unlikely as isn't George Gently back in September? Mondays against Doc Martin would be a stupid idea as well. Could go on Tuesdays where it could get overnights of c8m as it has done in the past when there's been no drama competition. Although that begs the question of where The Paradise and Last Tango will end up as they took Tuesdays last Autumn. Will they both be ready for Autumn or are we looking at early next year?

BBC, just like itv, look to have a crammed schedule this autumn- all the returning dramas (including possibly sherlock plus a whole bunch of new dramas just this autumn (quirke, what remains, truckers, the escape artist, happy valley and probably more that I've forgotten).

I thought I read somewhere that Last Tango won't be back until January but a Christmas episode is due to air on Christmas Eve to remind us of who they are!

Quite surprised that a fairly minor Coro St episode on Fri 8.30 beat Eastenders' much trailed big exit episode in the consolidated ratings.
It's only a surprise if you forget the commercial break in the middle of Coronation St!

Corrie seems a lot fresher - their cast seems to continuously evolve...
Not always through choice.

I don't agree. and Regarding Steve he never really left EastEnders, Yes he took a break in what 2004/2005 but that's after being with the show since 1990
And that was only for an Xmas panto and a shoulder operation.

"Hazel" was trending number 1 worldwide on Twitter earlier, Big Brother number 1 in the UK.
(For those who don't watch BB, Hazel O'Sullivan (model, darts walk-on girl) has made no secret of what she...er..."needs" at the moment and has focused on fellow housemate Daley).
Daley's girlfriend (at time of writing!) Katie has said just her piece on Channel 5's Big Brother Bit On The Side amongst the tears and is "not gonna watch it after today, and I'm not gonna be in the country for much longer, just wanna run away and forget about it, and concentrate on myself and my son".

Yeah maybe, but what would they show at 6.45-7.15pm?
I can't imagine it'll be anything terribly exciting. Their autumn Sundays are about Factor, Abbey and Celeb. There'll probably be the occasional Coronation St if they see the Strictly results rating well again.

How did Channel 5's 'relaunched' news efforts do last night?

Wednesday onwards will be interesting as 7pm is one slot where they have remained very uncompetitive, consistently losing out to C4 News. But that's unlikely to be the case for the duration of the Ashes series. So further growth to be found here perhaps. Could C5 inch in front of C4 in the weekly shares for the first time in its history?
Could be looking at a few 1m audiences over the course of the series, if England play as well as they're capable of.

So are you suggesting the adverts are denting Coro St's overnight ratings and in actual fact its even more popular than Eastenders than what the overnight ratings indicate?

Following MG's scathing article yesterday, now DS is joining in the criticism of the BBC's Wimbledon coverage:

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/news/...-its-game.html
Even by DS standards, that's a poor piece.

Which got off with 2.47m (10%). What does she have that Count Arthur doesn't?
I didn't see Count Arthur. Perhaps he needs to fall over a bit more.

Instead there will be Xmas specials of Citizen Khan and Not Going Out.
Both unlikely to appear on Christmas night.

I hope Allen has a comedy rabbit to pull out of the hat for December 25th.

Has there been any news if Mrs Browns boys is back this Christmas?

I think you already know the answer to that one Samuel. But in the unlikely event that you're not pulling our plonkers, two special Christmas episodes of Mrs Browns Boys have been commissioned. Along with Citizen Khan and Not Going Out.

I think New Tricks will be on Mondays again, but beginning a few weeks earlier than last year's late August start.

"Michael McGillicutty" was apparently the number 1 worldwide trend at one point last night, because World Wrestling Entertainment screwed up a music cue on their Monday Night Raw broadcast.

It's all bacon! (To quote Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle program-associate Baconface)

The London Anniversary Games will air on Friday 26th July, beginning on BBC2 for an hour at 7.30pm then switching to BBC1 from 8.30-10pm. BBC1 really should have ditched EastEnders for the night and made a bigger deal of it on BBC1.
You say that about some event or another every day!

Any news? Apart from the big announcement in January that two Christmas specials had been commissioned? No, nothing...

So that will be shown on Christmas Day and clean up in the ratings then. 10/11million possible.

That's a bit of a low blow.

BBC1 cleaning up in the Christmas Day ratings like they do every single year... it's a bit depressing that this a topic of conversation in the middle of a heatwave in July!
