With no Jonathan this week, I think Alan Carr will get a slight boost! and Ricky Gervais's stand up will benefit from less competition!

Graham Norton Uncut?

What about Not Going Out? The new series is due imminently, but with Gavin & Stacey heading for Fridays after LB USA finishes, maybe it could take the 10.35pm slot for 6 weeks?
And no doubt there's more Comedy Connections in the can, or which could be repeated?
Repeats would work well - otherwise, the Daily Mail might not have anything to complain about for 12 weeks, and we can't allow that...

Something wrong with your keyboard rzt or have you been drinking?
This whole debacle has shown the ugly side of the media especially The Daily Mail and there is a growing backlash against them targetting BBC comedy shows like Mock the Week but TBH with more important matters occuring in the next few weeks, this matter would have mostly forgetten about.

The latter Jonwo, the latter.
The Daily Mail is scum in my opinion. Jonathan Foss did bad, but I don't think he shoudl have got suspended. Mind you, seems like it's a generational thing.
You can bet that once he returns, his ratings will be higher than ever. Russel Bran's career will take off as well due to the controversy. He's awesme in my opinion.
Oncidentally, poor rating for Real Crime. Good to see it not returning next week!

. By the way, I don't think ITV is gutter (which I said a few posts above
)- I do like short bursts of ITV, but overall prefer the BBC.Incidentally for any King of the Hill fans, it's been axed:
Quote:
“Fox has decided to end the run of King of the Hill after this season’s thirteen episodes are up and won’t renew it, according to the Hollywood Reporter:
After several previous brushes with cancellation, the network has opted not to renew the series beyond its current 13th season.
In April, Fox picked up 13 more episodes from the 20th Century Fox TV-produced show, which are wrapping production.
A lot has changed since “King of the Hill” premiered in 1997. Its creators Greg Daniels and Mike Judge have moved on to other projects — Daniels developed and is running NBC’s “The Office,” and Judge has a new animated series, “The Goode Family,” launching on ABC in midseason.
Our Renew or Cancel Index can’t predict all circumstances and this was one of them. While Hill was getting long in tooth, from an 18-49 demographic perspective it was outperforming other Fox shows — even shows the Index predicts would be renewed like Bones and American Dad. It’s been a busy day for Fox which earlier in the day announced it was pulling ‘Til Death from its schedule. The Index did predict that move.”

Also DS have written a report for Tuesday's overnights: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/a1343...o-tuesday.html

Hope we get last night's ratings today as well rather than usually on Sundays.

There was an article on "Click" a couple of weeks ago about a GoogleMail plug-in that tested your mental abilities and, if you couldn't answer a few simple questions, presumed you were pissed and wouldn't let you send any emails, to prevent you embarrassing yourself. I'll see if I can find the link!

I think it goes for a burton when there's an hour-long EastEnders. Football stops the update too, although not this season!
Sorry to take this thread back to Jonathan Ross, but I think he would have pulled in a really big audience figure for the comedy awards, if he'd presented them. People, even those who dislike him, will be eager to see his first comeback TV performance.
And reading between the lines of yesterday's press statements, I wonder if it might have been more Peter Fincham's idea than Jonathan's. Understandable, really, in case Fincham got hounded out of a second job in the space of just over a year.

I like that idea. I think it would have a very tough time in the rumoured Saturday night slot, but could do rather well on Fridays at 10.35.

Lol, I saw that too.
Oh we've all done it. I came hone one night, slagged off some Big Brother housemates and got banned for it! Next morning I didn't even remember, and I wouldn't have remembered had it none been for the kind emails from DS Forum Support informing me of my 14 day suspension.
No ratings today so far.,.... so.... being bored......... can we have the NEW DS PREDICTION GAME??
Just how many beers did rzt have last night?

You haven't played this season!
After missing the NTA's on Wednesday, I'm just catching up on the repeat now and I'm shocked at the lengths ITV will go to promote a failing show. It's quite funny actually because we have been predicting how ITV can try and boost Britannia High's ratings but doing a dance performance at the beginning of the NTA's is something I never imagined-it didn't even fit though and was very random with Trevor giving quite a lame reason.
Though as this show goes on I am finding just loads of shameless ITV plugs, but I suppose it's an easy way of promotion for ITV as the NTA's capture a wide audience.

Fantastic
Well deserved, and glad it did so well especially since the episode had been given away on iTunes (with a voucher in a magazine) and through hulu.com . If only Five would give it some decent promo and slot over here...
