If it was doing well the line would be "itv is over reliant on Simon Cowell shows"
The ratings thread.. writes itself some days!”

if you can't accept that 8.19m trumps 8.07m, then I'd suggest you have a problem with the basic math, my friend!
(and yes, I know overnights are irrelevant and txf will probably consolidate a smidge higher than scd. but I don't know why you're so full of yourself this morning - DA and TXF are both down!)

Not to mention that SCD was well ahead during the clash.

Countryfile 5.9m 30% share.
Surprise Surprise 3.45m 18.6%/146k on +1
Perhaps they should get John Craven to guest judge the X factor
Channel 5's Sunday night movie premiere Killers scored 1.1m (5.2%).
This is a terrible film but it rated OK opposite Downton and Homeland. Hopefully Angels & Demons will be nearer to 2m next week, but I accept it's a big ask with the competition as it is. Still, it's bound to be a strong performer on repeat.

This actually includes 5 minutes of Homeland or post-Homeland adverts.
In the tape-checked figures this new panel show began with 1.0m (5.9%). Broadcast reports this as being 400,000 below the slot average.

can we not just all marvel at the brilliance of the bbc in getting over 8 million people to tune into a pre-recorded programme about someone who can't dance being voted out of a dance competition.
you can only applaud.

“The traditional autumn clash between two heavyweight formats, BBC1′s Strictly Come Dancing and ITV’s The X Factor, began in earnest this week. Strictly reached the elimination stage, with all 15 nerve-wracked celebrities performing for their chance to stay in the contest and, up against them, the final 12 performers were selected at judges houses on The X Factor. There was a slight overlap in the schedules on Saturday night, as Strictly ran from 6.20pm to 8.25pm, and The X Factor joined the fray at 8pm and ended at 9.48pm.
First blood seems to have gone to Strictly Come Dancing, which nearly matched last year’s performance at this stage (9.9m/43.5%), with a stellar 9.3m (42.1%). The audience peaked at 10.6m (46.3%) at 7.50pm. As might be expected, the audience for the ballroom-dance show skews to the older age demographics – 53.9% of the audience were over the age of 65 – but it still drew above-benchmark Shares for younger viewers too: a 24.6% Share of Adults 16-24 was well up on the slot benchmark figure of 19.5%.
X Factor also put in a performance that was just a fraction down on last year’s figures for the same stage of the contest: 8.5m (36.1%) watched the first stage of the judges’ houses this year, compared with 8.7m (37.7%) last year. The audience also peaked around 10m (43%) at 9.10pm. The Sunday night show, at 7.10pm didn’t build on this figure, however, garnering 8.4m (34.3%), in spite of the presence of guest judges that included Mary J. Blige, Robbie Williams and Olly Murs. Strictly’s Sunday-night show, at 7.20pm, drew 8.2m (33.2%), which was a slight increase on last year’s 8.2m (32.5%).
However, because of the younger skew to the audience of The X Factor, it attracts a lot more activity on social media. Looking at the Twitter results, the ITV show attracted more than 200,000 Tweets during the course of the transmission – more than 30.5 Tweets per thousand viewers (TPK). However, the Strictly Come Dancing Tweets Sat 4th October 2013 more venerable viewership of Strictly means there are fewer viewers in the demographics likely to be sending lots of Tweets during the show, strongly reflected in the TPK figure of justs 2.3. However, Strictly did score a higher positive sentiment with 27.3% against The X Factor’s 19.5% result.”

There is more XF this year. Last years Judges Houses 'climax' was 75 minutes without a SCD clash at all. This year they extended it to 110 minutes, so more ad minutage but a lower audience.
However, commercially that's another excellent night for ITV between 7-10pm for ITV.
Looks like By Any Means is heading toward the equivalent of last years Andrew Marr levels.

That article says it all.
Strictly's audience is so large they it picks up a decent number of younger viewers.
Trending on Twitter doesn't mean ratings.
And The X Factor audience is angry and bitter!
Surprised Strictly actually managed to increase yoy (2012: 8.06m (32.5%) 2013: 8.19m (33.2%)) from when it faced Corrie, although I guess X Factor is easier competition since it skews a lot younger.
Also, The Paradise has finally been added to the programme information, so should start on Sunday 20th at 8pm. Monday and Tuesdays are still possibilities but after all the promotion I think Sunday is the only place for it.

There's no way Nan,Mrs brown and Open all hours will all get a Christmas day slot.

Nan will get relegated Open all Hours followed by Mrs Brown in the Christmas Day comedy block.

It certainly does! Methinks a new series of Open All Hours will be heading up Autumn 2014!

6.30 Doctor Who
7.30 Strictly Come Dancing
8.30 Call The Midwife
9.30 EastEnders
10.30 Mrs. Browns Boys
11.00 Catherine Tate: Nan

Call the midwife is missing
Could the BBC revive "Open All Hours" completely as a new series? It could be seen as a toe in the water. However David Jason doesn't appear much on tv these days

Terrible idea. Arkwright IS Open All Hours. Also shows how rubbish the current sitcoms are that we have to look to revivals.
