Actually, I kinda agree with samuel. With truckers vs breathless, I think they're both really bad but its hardly going to be the ratings battle of the season and breathless might just win but not by that much. I'm thinking both itv and bbc know how bad their respective dramas are and are just putting them on a thursday night (instead of the better monday/tuesday or even sunday slot) with crap lead-in shows (pat and cabbage) so hoping they will both die quietly.

I think that the continual poor competition on main channels on Thursdays has made Thursday a big night multi-channel night.
Shows on E4, BBC3, More4, and Sky1, ITV2 have been performing well on this night for the last couple of years, it will be hard to claw those audiences back. |

Women Behind Bars could be higher next week, its currently No1 on ITV Player. This happened last time with Trever McDonalds last prison doc.

I'd be more suprised if it didn't come near or pass 11m.
I meant in overnight. I know last weekends episode will top 11million, perhaps even 11.5million+. |

ITV can't just always put dramas on Sunday or Monday, they have to be realistic and schedule it on another day. At the moment they have DA and Doc Martin on the Sunday/Monday so they are out of bounds. However BBC could have scheduled Truckers on any day realistically except from Tuesday.

Would not Tuesday have been the best day for it though - no opposition. Even Frankie got 4.5m in that slot.
I expect the first episodes of Breathless will get around 5.1million inc+1 and Truckers to be round 4.3million |

My American sources say that Big Bang Theory opened to around 18million viewers, its best season premiere ever. And that The Crazy Ones starring Robin Williams debuted big with about 15million which should equate to approximately 5.0 in the demo. The Michael J Fox Show on NBC got around 8million viewers, an expected skew should ensure a 3.0-3.5 demo rating. Confirmation in 2.5hours time.

Really upset about peaky blinders- one of the best period dramas I have ever seen, such a shame to see it fall below the slot average. Perhaps its not the 'mainstream' period dramas people are after now- i.e. the 'fluffy', heart warming dramas like downton, call the midwife, paradise, mr selfridge. Such a shame......brilliant acting, astonishing production values, fantastic script.
I agree absolutely. I think it's a really great drama - I actively look forward to watching it, which isn't true for many dramas or any sort of programme. I'm really sorry it doesn't seem to have clicked in the public imagination. I wonder why? Is there anything BBC2 could do to promote it? I was thinking last night that it is so good, it should be on BBC1, but perhaps it would be thought to be too violent. As it is, it seems to fall down the crack between popular (BBC1) and 'cultural' (?BBC4) ![]() Such a shame, it's a fantastic piece of work, and as you say, Cillian Murphy is just riveting, and sooooo hot

By not having any repeats, the BBC are encouraging viewers to watch the one and only showing of Strictly Come Dancing or to record it, which means that its rating is maximised. If BBC repeated SCD a lot of times during the week, some viewers would end up watching the repeat instead of the main showing and that would reduce the rating for the main showing.

I agree - its such an obvious thing to do, which is why the plums at BBC scheduling cant think of it.

But XF gets a repeat and gets good ratings for it dont they? If it works for XF it would surely work for SCD too.

Also you can't really translate the early metered markets into demo numbers particularly not for a new series. A 5 for The Crazy Ones is incredibly optimistic to say the least. And Big Bang Theory appears to be around 19-20 million in the 8:30 slot at least. |

Are you going to keep adding 'my sources' to things you pull from the internet?

@mediaguardian: Women Behind Bars 3.8m/18.1%, Giant Animals 2.7m/13%, Educating Tykes 2.7m/12.9%, Peaky Blinders 1.8m/8.4%, CSI: NY 1.2m/5.8% #tvratings

So ITV's 9pm factual offering beat BBC1 factual offering. This is becoming quite a regular occurrence, plus it beat the BBC last attempt at a prison documentary, confirming ITV as the No1 channel for factual programmes.
It also managed to knock Educating Yorkshire down 700k from last week to 2.6/7million. inc+1. Quote:
How do you know Breathless has been trailed more than Truckers, unless you watch ITV and BBC all the time. Surely the expectations of Breathless are lower as you stated last week with a low 2million lead in?

Would be a nice change but SCD has the benefit of iPlayer - and it timeshifts by a million regularly. I'm not sure if an afternoon repeat would benefit it. I don't think many people actually use ITV Player on the subject of X Factor. |
