Sources are saying that the bbc has moved That Puppet Game Show to tea time from next Saturday. XFactor wont get such an easy ride as it faces new hit National Lottery format Break the Safe. Also Stepping out is going to be shown before XFactor and start as early as 6.30pm which is good news for the bbc as it will reduce its chances of becoming a hit and also the SCD Launch the following week can heavily dent Stepping Outs ratings.
How do you know Stepping Out is on before X Factor? |

Good start for Under The Dome on 5. Haven't seen it yet, so no idea if it's any good. Hope it is though. BB final pretty much where I expected it to be. A Monday Final does seem very odd.
![]() Corrie continues to post some very strong ratings (and nothing is really happening at the moment either). EE overtakes Emmerdale - but these two are very close at the moment. When will EE resume to challenging Corrie again?! It seems ages ago since they were neck-and-neck. |

Here's something to raise a smile, from our friends at Digiguide: Quote:
FILM: Stepping Out On: itv West Country (103) Date: Saturday 31st August 2013 (starting in 10 days) Time: 18:30 to 20:00 (1 hour and 30 minutes long) An uplifting comedy, adapted from the hit Broadway and West End stage play, starring Liza Minnelli as a tap dance teacher preparing her class for a local talent show. Along the way, her small group of women, which includes British star Julie Walters and Oscar-winner Shelley Winters, come to learn a lot, not just about dancing but also life, love and one another, forging friendships that will last a lifetime. (1991, PG, 2 Star) Director: Lewis Gilbert Starring: Robyn Stevan, Jane Krakowski, Bill Irwin, Ellen Greene, Sheila McCarthy, Andrea Martin ![]() Quote:

BBC1 are quite quick at dumping flop shows these days, obviously ratings chasing, a bit like ITV were about 10 years ago.

Why do you keep calling Break the Safe a hit? It hasn't cleared 4m yet has it?
Quote:
4million in the summer for a new cheap pre-recorded game show, which has a lead in of just 2.5-3m, is a success in my books. It did get over 4million the other week in hot weather.
Quote:
No episode of Break The Safe has hit 4m in the overnights. It is doing fairly well, but you'd expect it to under the National Lottery banner.
Quote:
It has been over 4m consolidated for every episode - so Samuel is right.
we28/07 4.07m we04/08 4.55m we11/08 4.34m DS also caused confusion by mis-reporting one of the overnight ratings as above 4m. With thanks to @TVRatingsUK for the missing rating, the true overnights were: 27/07, 20:50: 3.85m (19.3%) 03/08, 20:20: 3.75m (?%) 10/08, 20:20: 3.86m (21.1%) 17/08, 20:00: 3.97m (20.2%) Solid as a rock, and very close to 4m. Not bad for summer. |

Oh yeah i'm sure ITV are cacking themselves facing Break The Safe, one of Nick Knowles lowest rating primetime series of 3.5million. That'll really put a dent into The X Factor.
How do you know Stepping Out is on before X Factor? The provisional schedules show Stepping Out before X Factor. If X Factor finishes at 21:15, then they can't really show Stepping Out that late. |

How low will the Lewis repeat go tonight, facing Bake Off / Holby followed by New Tricks? It could be a rating truly fit for the Flop Zone.

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.
Same as when Des Lynam joined ITV, he was thrashed masively in every major event they did but he was making loads of money and doing what he wanted to do. Quote:

But I stand by my comments that X Factor at least initially is no great celebration of talent at all, it's the opposite, and uncomfortable viewing at times. As you know my love affair with the show (more of a sordid fling I suppose) ended a couple of series ago and I still haven't forgiven it for going all out to secure headlines by being as provocative as possible at the expense of its integrity as a talent contest. It lost the entertainment factor for me in doing that.
Can I just say, by the way, that Lyndhurst's complaints, as seen in all today's papers, are absolute rubbish? His comment about how Dad's Army wouldn't be made today because commissioners won't take a risk is complete nonsense. The cast were all hugely popular performers and David Croft was a producer at the Beeb with a stack of hit shows under his belt. It was a much a risk commissioning that in 1968 as it was the Beeb in 2013 commissioning Big School. And saying they won't stick with anything that doesn't get a million, Count Arthur Strong didn't even get that and it's been recommissioned! Watch telly, man! Quote:

Sorry, three posts in a row. But in the old thread... Quote:
Posted by wizzywick But this is barely any different to what they're doing at the moment! You've got a lottery quiz in the same slot it's already in, Casualty in the same slot which everyone says is a sitting duck and the most boring bit of the schedule and you've got Pointless Celebrities which they're doing anyway. And then there's a pile of repeats, and the only new format for pre-watershed is another shiny floor game show. I thought the whole argument was that shiny floor game shows are a dying format and they need something different. And even new episodes of Father Brown would be unsuitable for Saturday nights, they are workaday drama. Why repeat that and not something like Merlin?Inspired by an earlier post, and expanding on my suggestion of what BBC1 should do on Saturday nights until they come up with successful formats of their own, I have devised a Saturday night summer schedule (post The Voice). 2.30 Total Wipeout (rpt) 3.30 That Puppet Game Show (rpt) 4.10 Final Score (or Click and Blandings rpt when Final Score not on) 5.10 BBC News 5.30 Copy Cats (Successful format from CBBC, but with proper prizes!) 6.00 Father Brown (Successful daytime drama rpt) 6.45 Pointless Celebrities 7.30 The National Lottery Quiz Format 8.20 Casualty 9.10 The Frank Skinner Show (New chat show) 9.40 Impractical Jokers/Russell Howards Good News (BBC3 slot) Surely that would be miles better than the flops they have on at the moment? There seems to be an idea that there isn't enough comedy on Saturdays but aside from Friday it's the day BBC1 show the most comedy on. There's some there at the moment, there'll probably be comedy there most weeks of the year. Repeating Russell Howard isn't doing anything repeating McIntyre isn't, it's bringing new talent (well, they were when they were first shown) to a BBC1 audience. A Frank Skinner chat show? Lee Mack did something similar two years ago and it didn't catch on. Rob Brydon does the same and while I love Frank, and used to like his chat show (although it ran out of steam) every comedian on the planet now has their own chat show. So, er, with all due respect, I don't know how this is any great step forward from what BBC1 are offering up at the moment. |

3.46m (16.7%) for the launch of last year's Bake Off, could it beat that tonight?

I imagine we will get certain people saying how disappointing the ratings are and if it was on BBC One etc etc. |

I dunno about that, Lineker also tweeted his best wishes to Jake and the whole team at BT on Saturday. And it'll work out alright for Jake in the end, I'm sure, you can compare it with Richard Keys who gave up a steady job on TVam for BSB (I remember him saying he was laughed at when he joined BSB as much as he was laughed at when he joined TVam) and before the unpleasantness he was absolutely coining it in, doesn't matter how many viewers they had, it was the prestige of the thing. Jake is now senior presenter on a sports broadcaster, at the moment the smallest one but he'll get to do the Cup Final and so on which he wouldn't get to do on the Beeb for ages and ages and ages if ever.
Same as when Des Lynam joined ITV, he was thrashed masively in every major event they did but he was making loads of money and doing what he wanted to do. Yes I'm sure it'll work out for Jake eventually, I've met the guy and he's a solid chap with the right head on the right shoulders - I'm just not sure when or where. What would he do if BT Sport followed the Setanta UK pattern of folding up it's operations after just one Premier League contract? That may actually turn out well for him, because it'd probably happen just before Rio, at exactly the time when BBC Sport are looking for extra experienced tried-and-tested presenting talent - although with the BBC staff rollcall currently sending out mixed messages about their feelings about him jumping ship it may not be as easy as that. I guess we'll see. |

Tonight's episode of CSI:NY appears to have no dialogue. Interesting albeit bizarre experiment for the final season but I can't see that being good for ratings!

Forecasters keep changing their mind about this weekend. It might be hot and sunny. Alternatively it could be tipping it down with thunder and lightning. There could also be periods of snow followed by scattered tornadoes. Basically they don't know. |

Channel 5's latest series of 'Big Brother' bowed out with a peak of 2.8 million viewers last night, almost one million more than the reality competition achieved last summer
Media Week reporting a 2.8m peak for BB, can't be right? http://www.mediaweek.co.uk/News/Most...ence-900k-28m/ |
