XFactor must be starting after 17th august as my colleague had an invitation to this series' press launch which is on the 22nd. They wouldnt have the press launch after the first episode's been shown.

I think all eyes will be on the ratings for TXF as it has lost 4 million viewers in the last 3 years. If it stops falling and hovers around 8 million, then ITV should recommission it, but if there is another steep fall, it might be wise to cancel it as ITV could be left with an expensive millstone around its neck. Anyway 9 years is a decent run for any show.

I think Top of the Pops would work well in an early evening Saturday night slot, before Strictly/The Voice. Pick up a lot of families and casual viewers and shouldn't get lost in the competition.

The first episode will air on the 24th then as last year's press launch was also held two days before the episode aired. Ties in with Fool Britannia's launch date too.

May be true that TOTP would be less important than it was, but that doesn't mean there's no need for it. Watching music videos on your laptop is not the same as watching live performances on TOTP. By that logic, we don't need Glastonbury on TV either, or any music at all.
If TOTP had the right person in charge, they put enough money into it and got the biggest acts on week after week, and they put it somewhere it wasn't up against an ITV soap (difficult but Wednesday 8pm would work) I believe it could get 4 million viewers. On a good week IIRC it got 3 million in its last few months on BBC One, and that was when it was against Corrie and the singles chart was in a right mess. One thing I never understood was how the BBC didn't make enough money out of the TOTP brand to make it not matter about the ratings - it was sold all over the world. The Jimmy Savile thing could be a problem, but it doesn't stop them doing the Christmas shows and 1978 repeats. TOTP now would be rubbish, for two reasons 1) music is bland, all the Syco acts could not preform a decent live version of their songs, if they careers depended up on it. I saw Olly Murs perform Dance with Me Tonight, on one of the TOTP Christmas episodes, and whilst the radio edit of the song, was "not in anywhere objectionable" bordering on "Steering wheel tapping" his performance was dreadful. 2) international artists, it is great that the UK charts, have music from all over the world in it (even if alot of it is very commercial) , but those international acts wont set foot in the UK, yet alone agree to appear on TOTP. Then there are other factors such as the basic format, the countdown of the weeks top 10, and 95% of the performances coming from the Top 20 is very limiting as to what can be aired, to say nothing of those acts, are basically Syco puppets, good for nothing but earning Simon Cowell money, hardly worthy of BBC airtime. Sure the BBC can celebrate music, but it needs to create events, not just mimed performances of songs you hear on your radio, or whos videos can be viewed on YouTube. It needs to create unique performances, thins that in this modern day, will be shared over the internet, something that the artists involved will never do again. The best music feature ive seen/heard on the BBC in years was John Holmes "His Buskers Voice", and whilst that may not work on telly, the spirit is everything that TOTP needs to be, but could never be. |

Actually baiting is against the T & C's of DS rules,openly admitting that mere baiting of another FM is not enough is unacceptable behaviour on an open forum.:

Whovians?! I thought we'd assessed tweets mean nothing in reality.
EDIT: a final tally of more than 250,000 tweets. |

Doctor Who Live can be anywhere between 3 million and 6 million - there is internet buzz and then 'normal people' buzz.
