Surprisingly, England football match ratings are improving as the teams performance improves!

Just found out the hour-long EastEnders is on Thu 30th Oct, 7.30-8.30pm.

Um, I thought it was after the watershed?

Also, anyone know when ITV will release their Press Packs for 1st November to 7th November week - I thought the channels release them earlier and earlier up till Xmas?

Where did that post-watershed rumour derive from?

Silent Witness stays strong on BBC One. With Spooks back soon they're looking good in the 9pm slots. A bit dissapointing for the Gryff Rhys Jones series. i understand it'll have been knocked by Paul Merton, but surely not too badly. Theres only 1.6 million watching Merton anyway.

The football puts in a solid performance as we could expect. Highlights figures will I guess be boosted somewhat by the fact the live broadcaster is Setanta rather than Sky to which more people have access.

BBC Three will have enjoyed a good overall share last night with the football which did quite well followed by Heroes.

Nope, that must just have been a rumour.

Is 'Two and a half men' broadcast in the UK? It seems to do well for CBS in the US and totally dominate the Aussie ratings every night?!

It used to be broadcast on Five and Paramount Comedy currently show it but it's never really caught on and would really benefit from being shown daily on a digital channel like E4 or ITV2.

Pushing Daisies increased, I'm so happy

Huge ratings for Hollyoaks on E4 last night!

I think we're at the point now that most Americans have decided who they are going to vote for and the vast of the Republican campaign has been all Palin.

I think ITV2 should try and get some kind of stable programming block in early peak (7pm-9pm). Two and a Half Men has more than one hundred episodes, so that might fill in an hour nicely.


It seems to be on great form and it's helping My Name is Earl which got about 430,000. It helped E4 to a 5.5% share of viewers 16-34 for the day. The closest multi-channel competition was ITV2 with 3.3%. Five got 4.2%.

I've noticed recently that the Friends ratings are down a bit, but despite people generally favouring the early series, the later ones always seem to pick up better repeat ratings.

she is ratings gold whether its snl or the cbs evening news

Real Crime (Thu) - 2.4m (11%)

Overnights from Brand Republic:


Silent Witness got 6 million at 9pm.

Anyone know how Natural Born Sellers performed in its later slot?

Not sure if been confirmed anywhere before but Beat The Star looks like coming back early next year for a 10 part run.

From Broadcast:

From Media Guardian, Paul O'Grady is losing some of its ratings power:


http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008...ngs-television

OK, found it in the Broadcast report:

"ITV1's business reality show then played out at 10.40pm, bringing in 1.2m (10.6%)."

Total audience of 1.9m for Hollyoaks on E4 last night. It was their best ever audience for a UK commissioned show (I assume a first look episode of Friends got the highest?).

It's also the fourth most-watched non-sports show on multichannel so far this year.

This storyline has really boosted E4 and the first look episodes seem to be an integral part of their peaktime line-up.

It will be interesting to see how their exclusive Late Night Hollyoaks series does. In the past, I don't think they have been all that successful. I believe this one is running like Dead Set, 5 nights through a week.

It's interesting to see that such a huge number were watching on E4 in relation to the C4 showing. In total, almost 4 million viewers across the two episodes.
