I think ITV could have easily put a new ep of Midsomer or Frost into the 9pm slot if they wished. BBC's charitee shows now include CiN, Comic Relief, Sports Relief, SCD, the save the planet show Live Aid,Diana Aid,,,,,
One could think the BBC goes after these big charitee events for ratings ![]() Anyway what ever happend to Soccer Aid or the Mandela concert that never really caught on? |

This would get another 10 shows into the Top 40

@rzt,
Don't you think it would be interesting to multiply each show by the length of time it was on!!!!! Methinks CiN might just be top! K |

Thats not really fair unless we do that with every show BBC1 Scotland moves, which is a lot of programming.

ITV should really move BH to another timeslot, instead of keeping it out of pride. It's rating awfully..

The same could be said for GeorgeS Eg. pro ITV, anti BBC.
Both BBC and ITV have their good points. Both have their bad points. I feel slightly more sympathetic towards ITV1 at the moment because half decent programming they air struggle while rubbish on BBC1 gets good ratings. But that's not to say BBC1 don't do good programming. Can't we just lay the stupid pro/anti tirades to rest for once and for all?

I've collated the top 10s for the main 2 channels.
I prefer to view them this way, and it's a good overview of performance. BBC1: 1 EASTENDERS - 11.73m 2 DOCTOR WHO - 10.57m 3 ANTIQUES ROADSHOW - 10.07m ***Overnight 4 STRICTLY COME DANCING - 9.95m 5 CHILDREN IN NEED 2008 - 9.66m ***Overnight 6 NEW TRICKS - 9.36m 7 THE APPRENTICE - 9.29m 8 MATCH OF THE DAY LIVE: England v Switzerland - 9.18m 9 EURO 2008: MATCH OF THE DAY LIVE: Germany v Spain - 8.84m 10 WIMBLEDON 2008 - 8.80m ITV1: 1 BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT - 13.88m 2 CORONATION STREET - 13.02m 3 DANCING ON ICE - 12.08m 4 THE X FACTOR - 11.65m 5 UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: Man Utd v Chelsea - 10.05m 6 BRAZILIAN GRAND PRIX - 9.08m 7 LEWIS - 8.90m 8 I'M A CELEBRITY, GET ME OUT OF HERE! - 8.89m ***Overnight 9 EMMERDALE - 8.85m 10 WILD AT HEART - 8.59m Some thoughts: - although ITV has the strongest top 3, BBC1's mid-table showing is stronger and ITV's 10th-rated show comes in lower than BBC1's - apart from Lewis, and 2 bought-in sporting events, there's little real quality in ITV's top shows, it's all lowest-common denominator tat. Contrast with the quality and middle-brow programming in BBC1's top 10, EastEnders aside. ITV1 is clearly the Asda to BBC1's Sainsbury's. - the best may still be to come for BBC1 - it should get 12m or so for SCD. EE might get 12-13m for its Christmas Day episode. Doctor Who's Xmas showing should see its ratings increase (unless it's actually called "Doctor Who: The Next Doctor", in which case BARB will presumably include Doctor Who twice...? ). Wallace & Gromit's new adventure should get 10m. The Royle Family might get 10m too on Christmas Day. The Royal Variety will rate well, depending what day it is shown. Jonathan Creek could get 9m. CIN might just get to 10m in the officials (but I doubt it). What else has ITV got to look forward to in 2008, other than TXF possibly bettering its 11.65m?

Ditto but Brucie's not much better TBH. He's a moron of the highest order and should be banned from British television. I dont care how old he is, he ruins my favourite TV show.
Sorry. Given that Bruce is a tv legend and a ratings god since the sixties there might be a few who think your being a touch harsh! |

So this thread isn't just ratings now?, it's also about so called quality as well? I'll remember this next time BBC1 wins the slot with Holby or Traffic Cops |
