I don't think 10 years ago people would have thought a ballroom dancing show would have been one of the biggest shows of the decade across the whole world.
So what if GBBO is about baking, it's clearly huge popular. This is different - it's gentle, it's serene, quirky and ultimately, RELAXING. How does that work on a Saturday? Of course it could still do okay, but that depends what ITV are showing. It's a pointless move. It's midweek escapism, not weekend entertainment - unless, as said, it manages to work on a Sunday. But still a risk, for minimal gain. |

Biggest BBC2 rating of the year so far is 6.01m (20.4%) for Top Gear on 10th March. Should be surpassed by GBBO in the coming weeks.

Although worth pointing out that doesn't include HD. If it does that rises to over 7m.

That's the overnight rating and it does include HD. The official rating including HD is indeed above 7m.

However you look at it BBC Two has been amazingly successful in terms of factual/entertainment..."The Great British Bake Off" "The Sewing Bee" "Springwatch" "Top Gear" "Rick Stien India" and drama "Top of the Lake" "The Fall". Its a terrific channel and I would say has the most invention on it. Hadlow has masteted the channel that hardly had any drama a while ago and she really knows how to build a good schedule each day despite the cuts to her daytime budget Two seems to florish

Through the Keyhole looks suspiciously early to me for the sort of show it is going to be [lots of swearing, rude humour]. I got a feeling this schedule could change lots by tomorrows confirmation, it might be like that to trick the bbc schedulers.

New voting system for X Factor.
'The X Factor' is to introduce a new 200-second voting system on Saturday nights. ITV Bosses have decided to shake up the talent show by giving viewers just over three minutes after every wannabe pop star has performed to pick up the phone and save their favourite from the chop, before the act with the lowest vote becomes the first to face the axe on Sunday. In a bid to keep viewers hooked on the show, they will be asked to vote again on Sunday and the lowest-scoring performer will join the one from the previous day, but as part of the new twist, if the judges - Louis Walsh, Sharon Osbourne, Gary Barlow and Nicole Scherzinger - go to deadlock, the act who received the lowest vote on Saturday will automatically get the boot. |

If any remotely successful BBC2 show is automatically moved to BBC1 there is really no role for BBC2 other than as a nursery for 1.
Great start to the GBBO. |

Bit like how BBC4 is/was perceived as a feeder to 2.

The Sunday vote, apart from getting extra votes from the same viewers, is clearly a bit of a back up in order to save good people from going, as by the sounds of it they'll be much more vulnerable to ending up bottom 2. That said, I like they're doing something different with voting. Not sure this is it mind... |

Please tell me I'm missing something, but isn't there a glaring problem here - how are you supposed to know WHO you want to vote for until they have performed? Some people actually vote for their favourite on the night, but this pretty much makes that impossible as effectively you have to take a risk, although of course you can vote again if the next performer is better - oh wait, of course, it's a vote phone grabbing technique

Designed obviously to keep people watching until the end on the Saturday as there will be a 'partial' result. |

Terrific performance from Bake Off. How high can it go from here?
Poor for the heavily promoted Top Boy, beaten by a below par CSI:NY episode which was part crime procedural part advert for Green Day's latest CD. |

I think the 3 minutes is after every act has performed.

In terms of keeping viewers, in that sense it's a good idea - the end part of the show has always significantly dragged down the average, especially last year, hasn't it? |

4-nil to New Tricks so far in the Eastenders/New Tricks battle for supremacy.

Absolutely I was just listing the most successful that I can remember but there has also been "Mock the Week" "The Apprentice: Your Fired" "QI" "The Politicians Husband" "The Hairy Bikers" and "Peaky Blinders" and "Line of Duty" still to come. Its got a golden touch on commissioning programmes just now.

GBBO Telegraph review
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/t...ne-review.html "Paul Hollywood – Bake Off’s faux-grisly judge – certainly seems to be morphing into baking’s answer to Simon Cowell. Presented with a disappointing “show-stopper” chocolate cake, Hollywood was reminded in mitigation that its baker had repeatedly cut himself during the challenge. “We’re judging the cake,” admonished Hollywood, in the brusque tone of voice that Cowell reserves for saying that everything hinges on tonight’s performance." |

X Factor definitely starting on August 31st, running from 20:00-21:15. That's roughly the same slot it had for last year's launch and the year before.
http://www.radiotimes.com/episode/cm...10---episode-1 Taking all the format changes into consideration, I think 9 million must be possible at least. |

BBC One and Two scored all-day shares of 24.2% and 7.3% respectively. Adding in Three and Four's healthy shares of 1.5% and 1%, and the other portfolio channels' total of about 3.4%, gives a BBC TV share of 37.4%.
The repeat of Pointless again took advantage of the flop Twisters competition and achieved 2.8m/24%, making the ITV Media top 10. When do new episodes of Pointless and The Chase return again? |
