That Broadcast mistake is nothing compared to the DS ratings report where 5.6m is seen as merely decent. Good grief!
Do they seriously think that the launch was going to rate higher than the final? |

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 saw loads of posters around London for Top Boy, the most I've seen since Broadchurch. That rating looks disappointing to me.
CSI:NY was intriguing telly last night and well worth a look (no dialogue in the first half, the songs of Green Day capturing the mood of the scenes)... http://www.channel5.com/shows/csi-ne.../episode-4-475 |

I look forward to their report comparing TXF's launch to last year's final.

On the other hand, how many more viewers would it gain on BBC One? I don't think it would gain too many myself. It wouldn't all of a sudden double in audience.

Secondly, you wanted an example - QI. Dumbed down for BBC one by all accounts.
Speaking of QI, by the way, you'll notice there's a "special edition" on Sunday which turns out to be just a leftover episode from the last series that wasn't shown during the original run for some reason. Don't know why. Maybe it's a bit like that episode of Shooting Stars filmed on 9/11 which was so bad they showed it on BBC3 alone billed as a "summer special". Quote:
[i]'The X Factor' is to introduce a new 200-second voting system on Saturday nights.

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?

DS state that it was lower than last year's series finale but up on the launch.
Do they seriously think that the launch was going to rate higher than the final? |

Everyone says this but the first series on BBC1 was actually intended to be on BBC2, and in addition there may have been a broadening of the humour but I doubt that was a conscious thing, Alan Davies has just got a very juvenile sense of humour and five series in he was getting more relaxed and vulgar. Booking guests like Pam Ayres, Emma Thompson and John Hodgman, as they did in the first BBC1 series and the first "proper" BBC1 series doesn't sound like dumbing down to me. If you watch the repeats I defy anyone to identify whether an episode was originally on BBC1 or BBC2.

Currently on more or less at the same time it was on BBC2.
I imagine the production company fees will rocket next year due to the increased ratings and BBC1 will have to take it. Quote:
I think the 3 minutes is after every act has performed.
Designed obviously to keep people watching until the end on the Saturday as there will be a 'partial' result. |

One example of that is What Not To Wear which was doing alright on BBC2, and Trinny and Susannah were certainly very famous, and when it moved to BBC1 it got maybe a million extra viewers, but nothing that special, and by that time it had more or less peaked.
It was a shock to me when it was moved to BBC ONE . But it actually rated very well against The Bill probably their best ratings in years at that point. 4.5-5m iirc and the Christmas special got 7.5m. Quote:
Well, there are posters in a number of threads who have stated that it had dumbed down (whether that was specifically the first BBC one series I have no idea), as I have never watched it I can only go by the threads and posts that I have seen, and reports from elsewhere over the years, all written by people who have watched it.
Posters in DS threads also said that the Olympic Opening Ceremony was terrible as it allowed black people to play natives in the Industrial Revolution. Do posters in a thread make things a fact? |

Isn't the new X Factor voting system going to mean the Sunday show is even more padded? They usually drag out the "the next person through to next week is..." for several minutes, and they won't be able to do that. I suppose they could just have three singing again instead of two and have the VTs before the performances and full critiques.. yeah it could work I suppose.

Indeed and Janice Hadlow has previously said that bake off was only commissioned due to Masterchef going to BBC 1.
I imagine the production company fees will rocket next year due to the increased ratings and BBC1 will have to take it. This is an odd move imo, as the only people who will really care about it will be the hardcore who will watch anyway. My memory might be playing tricks but didn't Airport start on BBC Two or was that always on BBC One? |

It probably didn't help that the show moved back to BBC2 and it formed part of the channel controller's "pitch" (supposedly), as well as the "brave face" spin put on it by the show's creator and Stephen Fry about "going back home" and being "true to its roots" upon the demotion being announced. |

Can't see the Sunday shows being much different, but I imagine it can only help the Saturday ones. |

I don't think so as the gist I get is that people will vote again on Sunday (no different to the "lines are still open" business) for the person to accompany the Saturday bottom placer - and once they have those results they can still do the whole, "...you're through to next week" countdown thing. Then the sing-off as normal.

I think it was always BBC1, but started off as a cheap docu-soap filler in a weekday 8pm/8.30pm slot, but then got promoted to Saturdays after Casualty, slightly controversially, and pulled 12m viewers becoming something of a bigger hit than it had been.

Seems as though ITV are going for a big splash first week of September....
Stepping Out, The X Factor, Through the Keyhole, Doc Martin, Big Star's Little Star, Whitechapel, England v Moldova. https://twitter.com/itvpresscentre BBC One not quite going for the same effect.... Waterloo Road :sleep: https://twitter.com/BBCOne Doc Martin is scheduled for Monday. If BBC1 had kept New Tricks on Monday then this couldn't of happened. They already have a strong Tuesday night so there was no point in having New Tricks there, a total waste. No doubt it'll be weeks of Motorway Cops on Monday nights now dragging along with 2m or so. It could of been 7m for New Tricks and 5m for whatever on Tuesdays. |

Hadn't realised there was another series of Waterloo Road coming up, haven't the BBC got the message yet?

Might do better on darker (ish) nights and if they changed the cast, the writing, the setting, the theme, the directory, the producer, the wardrobe department, the tea boy, the catering van and I think that's it
