A pity that Top of the Lake isnt holding.its audience its a brilliantly intense world that Campion has created over an hour. I think it would have had more strong audience on a week night on BBC Two on Mondays. Dont know if scheduling has helped it much.

They won't have expected 5m.
The important thing is that they won't have been expecting the very hot weather. Nothing would have rated better in these circumstances.

You can't use the weather excuse for yestaday as it was raining. Yet it was still beat by an old film.

I think that's part of the reason why One sometimes goes for fairly lightweight factual at 9, when Two is putting out a heavyweight drama.

True, I think with drama being sparse on Mondays for One, Two should think of setting that up as their main drama slot, or maybe Wednesdays. It would still have to go against ITV though as when BBC One aren't airing drama ITV usually are, especially in the Autumn. Their big dramas coming up are Peaky Blinders and the second series of Line of Duty, there's also comedy-drama Our Men with Mitchell and Webb. I think they'd want to air Peaky Blinders before Ripper Street starts so I can see that airing in August/September, with Line of Duty in November.

Yes, YFSF is a worldwide format, but it's not exactly as big a format as Got Talent or X Factor though, is it?

You missed out the most important point of my post - at least BGT in it's first series became a talking point and had all the hype & momentum. Your Face Sounds Familiar has none of that. People don't care too much about it. If it featured members of the public, it could have done better. But, ITV cannot rely on celebrity-filled shows to anchor their summer schedule. They aren't strong enough. It's a shame ITV don't have a successful comedy which they could repeat in primetime to millions of viewers.
I was actually talking about raw numbers - it was a show that once got 6-7m in the autumn. We know repeats do well. For instance, BGT week in 2010, Corrie was taken off the air for whatever reason - TV Burp took over it's 9pm slot and comfortably pulled in 5-6m and shares of about 27%+. TV Burp may well pull in a comfortable 4 million in that slot. Or at the very least, better than You've Been Framed.
How is a 4% drop 'plummeted'? And for the record it was back up to 19% yesterday. It's still a better share than what Superstar was getting last year, but that accounts to better weather.
Plummeted would be if it went from 21% to like 10% (which, considering the TV audience on these past few Saturdays, would account to less than 2m).”

BGT got 17m once, that should be stated first. Splash has collapsed pretty much everywhere else, except Britain. The US, Australia, Germany, Spain, France are some of the countries where it flopped. It didn't even do overly well in the Netherlands.
The summer has always been a breeding ground for new shows to be tried out. Skating with Celebrities (or Dancing on Ice as it later became) was tried out by ITV in the summer of 2005 before being reworked and shown in January 2006. I think if YFSF gets recommissioned, they should rework it and try it out in January. Wouldn't kill them to give it another go.

Only one-off shock docs get over 3m+ on Channel 4 these days. I've really enjoyed The Returned, well done Channel 4 for picking up a little gem there.
GoshBagosh, do you by any chance work for Channel 4? You've posted Samuel W/George S style pro-C4 post in the last few days. Anyone would think you're Jay Hunt
Last night's ratings were ok. Break the Safe got off to a decent start, Mrs Brown's Boys doing solid as always and the X-Men repeat did great for C4. Shame a film repeat is out-rating most of its new content though.

Hang on it dropped weak on weak expect for yestaday.
Interesting (if slightly dodgy in terms of grammar) read that marks the current changes in Australian television, as the once third big network TEN loses out again: http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2013/07/...or-fourth.html

It fluctuated depending on the temperature, last Saturday i think was the hottest and so of course was the lowest.
It is the 'battle of summer trash tv' 7.30pm next Saturday - (BBC One) I Love My Country v (ITV) Your Face Sounds Familiar. BBC One has the shorter programme - I can see both rating 3-4 million - but who will win? I can see some viewers flicking over at 8.20pm for the final result on ITV, but expect BBC One to win the head to head battle.

Love My Country actually looks like a good laugh. Where as YFSF is pure trash.

The trailer looks awful, the name is utterly dismal and a massive turn off, and it sounds like yet another probably very worthy "isn't Britain great/quirky/eccentric?" type show from BBC1 like Britain's Brightest, Bishop's Britain, Test The Nation etc.
it's launching in August for a reason. It will get something beginning with a 2.

Its likely to get around 3.5 million for its launch episode. David Walliams was the original host of this before leaving.
2.46m excluding +1 for The Mill on Channel 4. You see how drama on the channel can do well when it's not constantly shoved on at 10pm and stripped across the week?

I see Walliams is the star of BBC1's new teacher sitcom. That sounds crap too, and again if that's launching in August too, you can probably work out why. BBC1 has had at least 2 teacher sitcoms before, neither did particularly well, and I can't see this doing.
- C4's new historical drama #TheMill began with a strong 2.46m/10.3% (excl +1) at 8pm last night, finishing fourth in its slot.
- #Countryfile's special silver jubilee celebration programme won the day with an audience of 5.48m/23%
- Sunday top rated: Countryfile 5.48m; Top Gear 4.56m; Antiques Roadshow 4.39m; Law & Order: UK 4.30m; BBC News (10) 4.19m; News (6.35) 3.95m.
Easily the best rating of the night goes to The Mill. Genuinely fantastic rating for Channel 4.

It was like the old ITV Schools' programme, How we Used To Live, which I enjoyed when having a day off school in the seventies!
Good to see channel 4 have a bit of success with The Mill. I thought there was a crossover with the CountryFile audience however 8pm was a good time for broadcast before Law and Order on itv. A shame it had to fight CountryFile.
