Whoever thought they'd keep the BB audience when Jonathan Ross was returning to BBC1 has made a big mistake. |

Fiver have started advertising Out of the Blue as coming soon.
Looks like they will start again pretty much as soon as BBC2 is done - first episode on Fiver on Monday 2nd February at 7.30pm, repeated 6.45am, 9.30am. Last episode is on BBC2 a week tomorrow. |

I don't think Dancing on Ice was this long (80 mins for 6 couples) last year (I think the 6 couples show was 60-65 mins). They've clearly done it to maximise their ad revenue, and I suppose it makes sense.

They're sacrificing the show for revenue, whereas last year they were promoting the programme for itself. (as well as for revenue). Sometimes losing some money in revenue is regained in the respect gained for the channel, which'd help in the long run, IMO.

To be honest I think it will probably do okay for Fiver; perhaps around the 100-200k mark, nothing special but at the same time not exactly awful, the idea is obviously to create a bit of an aussie block to build on the success achieved already with the first look H&A/Neighbours catchup pairing. |

(DH and GA) It will be interesting to see how LOST premiers on Thursday. PS. Sorry for the way it's laid out. I laid it out how I normally do it, but I accidently deleted it all . So I couldn't be bothered to do it all again. |

I can't see it having an effect on the show. The X Factor is scheduled in the same way and has just had its best ever series.

In regard to US ratings, it will be interesting how Lie to Me does on FOX, it has a great lead in with American Idol, the premise is very interesting and it's got a decent cast. I would imagine that Five and Sky1 would be interested in picking it up.

The X Factor is a Saturday night show, where children are more likely to be allowed to stay up until late to see the Results show. Dancing on Ice is pushing family viewing to the limit with the 9.30 results show, which is resulting in the loss of over 2m from one show to the next.

Thanks for those.
![]() Interesting to see the drop between the main show and the results show. The X Factor had a drop... between the shows... but not that much of a drop. I hope websites report the Tennis rating (23:50 to whatever; BBC Two) for tonight. |

I'm tempted to watch JR myself. I'll only stick with BB out of loyalty. ![]() I wanted to watch both the JR return and the BB final. Why couldnt BB just last until next Monday? |

5.4m for Hunter? - the "BSI" strike again. ![]() Had it gone out at 9.25pm, or debuted tonight, then I reckon it would easily have managed another million. Mind you, it did have a decent inheritence from Lark Rise, 6.1m is very good against Tits on Ice and African Heartbeat. Quote:
And the BBC ditch Eurovision? Drop a show that brings them 8 million viewers and a 55% share? Lucky you're not a scheduler.
Quote:
Average ratings for Hunter, though its not been as well acclaimed as the drama it spun off from. I guess we'll see a fall for it tonight and a comfortable victory for Unforgiven.
Hunter fell a bit short of what I expected, but I still wouldn't be surprised to see a dead heat with Unforgiven tonight; a narrow Hunter win wouldn't astonish me. Quote:
That's pretty good for that film on Sunday at that time isn't it?
Ice Age 2 could be ITV's highest-rated film of 2009, unless they have a Harry Potter coming up in November. Indeed, it will be among ITV's top shows of 2009 I imagine... Quote:
They couldn't have ads in Lewis as they used them all earlier in the evening.

![]() Actually I think ITV are as good as BBC1 as messing up schedules. I think The Skate Off and Wild at Heart would do better being aired an hour earlier. I remember, though, that BBC1 held up really well against Dancing on Ice last year - it's just DoI's improvement overshadowed BBC1's improvement. Quote:
I wasn't advocating the Beeb dropping it, just reflecting on whether the UK's participation in the contest could survive yet another year of bloc voting by tiny Balkan/ex-commie states.
Quote:
You might well be surprised. Unforgiven got 7m last week because it was up against a Traffic Cops repeat. It has some competition this week, and the 2nd eps of BBC1 2-parters like Waking the Dead and Silent Witness have sometimes shown significantly higher overnights than the debut episode. Meantime, ITV dramas often see their ratings drop like a stone between eps 1 and 2 - ITV1 audiences being fairly fickle I guess, many ITV programmes being default options clearly.
The thing is Waking the Dead and Silent Witness are proven and settled dramas, while Hunter is still brand new. However, I do agree in that Hunter has a good chance of beating Unforgiven tonight. It'll be sad if it does in a way, because ITV1 may move away from new drama even further, as they see no point trying to compete with BBC1, which'll lead to even more reality TV shows to fill in the free slots. Quote:
Not just "pretty good", fairly astonishing I'd say for Ice Age 2, and in a tea time slot on ITV1. What did Ice Age 1 get when ITV1 showed that?

Well, they don't have to show disproportionately more ads during DoI and use up their ration for the night, do they?

I'm not surprised Big Brother is doing so badly, everything about the show seems tired, you've got Davina getting over excited "I'm loving this" etc like she does every single year.
The strength of I'm a Celebrity is that you've got the camp, plus the trials plus Ant and Dec, so if one part is bad the other bits make up for it. With Big Brother you've got the housemates sitting there, boring tasks and just a voice over. |

The Australian Open did very well for Seven although I would of thought it would rate a little higher considering sport is very popular Down Under. Nine did well with The Big Bang Theory and Flashpoint and Top Gear is just as popular there as it is here.
Flashpoint has proved popular on CBS successfully filling the Friday 9pm gap that they had been struggling with. It airs here on ITV3 which IMO is the wrong channel for it. |
