Continuation of: The Ratings Thread (Part 51)
Hence me being loathed to draw any conclusions just yet about Under the Dome. Every chance of becoming a hit show from there, much like Dallas, but one great rating does not equal a hit show.

Not enough viewers liked Dallas enough to stick with it. C5 will be hoping Under the Dome doesn't suffer the same fate. But for now it's a strong start at least, and it seems to be holding up reasonably well in both the US and Australia. Dallas also lost a lot of viewers over the course of its run in America, so it wasn't just here that happened.

Does anyone know what Fight Back Britain (BBC1, 8.30pm) and Ade Adepitan: Journey of My Life (C4, 8pm) got last night?

Many thanks!

Brilliant night for Channel 5. Well deserved end rating for Big Brother and nice start for Under The Dome. I hope UTD can keep it up, I'd expect it can while its sandwiches between CBB and BOTS but it'll tell when they're finished in a few weeks.

It's a hard decision. Is CBB best at 9 or 10? I'd say to help the BOTS ratings its best at 10, but to help other C5 series at 9. It's a tough one.

1m see Man City score 4 v N'castle in 1st Monday Night match of season, biggest digital channel audience, & lift Swans off bottom of league
I assume that's slot average? Not bad if it is, as the new MNF show is in a four hour slot from 7-11pm.

Good night for C5. Though I personally think BB final was a bit of a shambles and needs an overhaul next year. Shame as it was a fantastic series.

Very glad to see Under The Dome perform well. A solid hour of gripping drama, though if I'm honest as it stands I'm more interested in the character drama than the mystery of the dome.

As for Corrie, echoing the sentiments of another poster god knows how it retained those viewers last night, absolutely abysmal offerings.

Anything for the various titbits of V Festival coverage that were put out over this weekend? Most of them were either in post-midnight slots or on 4Music or both, but there were teatime highlight shows on both days of the fest on the main channel which might have done decently? Obviously it's nothing like the scale of the BBC's Glastonbury coverage, or even what the BBC will manage for Reading this weekend, but from watching back my recordings this morning I think it still deserved some sort of audience. Anyone?
I wonder who's going to win that his year.. :yawn:
Ian Bell?
Nice to see some good numbers for the Athletics - indicates rather more interest here than there obviously is in Russia, where the stadium is half empty the whole time.

I'm sure the BBC would have liked to have run some of the biggest events on BBC One, but the timing of the events doesn't really quite work for them. And it's nice to see BBC Two take the boost - the channel has been really good for the past few years, in my opinion, but has suffered in the ratings for reasons broadly beyond its own control.
Of course the next two World Championships match the Olympic Athletics programmes in that they go to the Birds Nest and then London - I wonder what state the public's interest in Athletics will be in by 2015? Will Mo and Usain still be on the track?
Bit OT but we were discussing it the other day. There's an Observer piece from the producer who had to do the C5 highlights of the last day of the test whilst it was still in progress.

http://www.theguardian.com/sport/201...ive-highlights
Great article, thanks for posting that.

Former Man United star Michael Owen has reportedly turned down the chance to appear in Strictly Come Dancing - and is now eyeing a spot in the I'm A Celebrity...jungle instead.

I know the Ratings Thread cliche is to assume that a series of IAC has it's ratings decided by the quality of Ant and Dec's writers, but in all honesty if that's the type of 'personalities' they're resorting to as contestants this year, I really think ratings could take a tumble.
What is making you switch off because its too boring?
The vast majority of reality television.
What would you do to improve primetime ideally?
Get a job at The Sun and start commissioning articles which destroy the public's apparent current mindset of "if it's a new show on Saturday nights which isn't a talent competition then it must automatically be criticised".

Or failing that, write to the makers of 'That Puppet Game Show' requesting they go back, realise what potential there was in their idea, and try again.
Dragons' Den 2.86m (13.3%)
Great stuff. I haven't seen any of this new series yet but from the looks of things the new panel have gelled and clicked with the public enough to halt the decline. At least so far.
Bold?

A blatant rip off spoiler, a tired and increasingly clapped out singing contest, and a bizarre rehash of a cheap quiz show that was shunted to daytime and thence some minor satellite channel years ago?

Granted it will piss all over BBC1, but bold it is not!
Thank you for saying this.
Far be it for me to comment on the career aspirations of others, but going from travelling to 20 countries around the world, broadcasting to 3-7m viewers each time, whilst also being used on various other sporting setpieces including the SPOTY end of year flagship, to selling broadband for a telecoms company whilst fronting their much-hyped sports channel to an audience in the tens of thousands, when nobody pushed you or suggested you were about to be pushed, doesn't sound like an upwards move to me!
And by the looks of Gary's twitter rant a few months ago about "all the people Jake has hurt", I don't think we'll be seeing him back at BBC Sport for a very very long time.

I wonder when he'll start to regret it - perhaps on a chilly British summer afternoon in August 2016, when he gets home from presenting West Ham v Sunderland and switches on his TV to witness GB's cyclists tear up the track yet again, but with Manish Bhasin presenting from the Rio Velodrome rather than him?
There hasn't been a promo for Stepping Out because probably, they want to get the highest amount of people tuning in for the first episode (and then deciding if they want to stick with it.
Oh my word. Even for the majority of this thread (my own posts probably included), a suggestion that ITV have decided that the best way of getting good ratings for a show is by not promoting it is ridiculous.
Rylan Clark appears to be confirming on BOTS that Big Brother will be back for a 15th series next year and with a new theme to replace Secrets and Lies.
Can't wait..
Well that should see it get massive ratings in the airport lounge of Heathrow but probably not anywhere else.
Brilliant

Can you get any of Saturday's Sky Sports figures split between Sky Sports 1, Pick and Sky 2?

Especially the lunchtime and the 5.30pm matches

Thanks.

Solid enough start to the week for BBC One. The same can't be said for ITV but both networks are poised to launch their new season programming and this interim period is a bit irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

Is that the first time since it was revived that ITV News at Ten has improved on its lead-in? (not in terms of viewers in this case, but audience share %)

Take on the Twisters is a big turkey, taking ITV back to the levels they were mustering at 5pm pre-Chase. Pointless capitalised, posting a great rating. YBF! meanwhile is looking thoroughly overexposed after a busy few weeks of slot filling duties.

Apart from Corrie and Emmerdale, everything else on ITV looks dire. All of their daytime bellow 20% some below 10%. Take on the Twisters is dead, The Chase was getting triple that. Daybreak is dying, This Morning is looking weak, however hopefully the ratings will pick up in the A/W months with The Chase returning soon.

BBC1 are lucky to have programmes that attract the rate well anyway, where the older folk flock too. Looks like Perfection and Escape to the Country are the only weak links in the daytime schedule.

Secret Dealers is the only programme in daytime with an 'ok' rating.

Looks like the Puppets benefited a bit from the extended period between ...Framed! ending (18:59) and Potter starting (19:05), and held on to those viewers. Obviously a very poor rating though.

I think BBC One have deliberately left the ex-CBBC slots weak, as one of the reasons the Trust approved the changes was that the replacement programming would have a minimal impact on competitors. Obviously, however, the share in that period is still streets ahead of where it was with the CBBC block.

Interesting how it increased from 7pm. Wonder if the show would rate better if it aired from 7.

That would be an amazing figure for Central News if true but I assume it is the total of all the 6 pm ITV regional programmes just as BARB totals all the BBC ones at 6.30. Daybreak below 500,000,ITV must be preparing the last rites.

See my theory a few posts back. God no, it needs to be dumped at 17:35 immediately!
