Monaco 2008 was the final straw for many. A really tense race, with Hamilton trying to overtake IIRC and ITV went to an ad break with 5 laps to go.
Then to make matters worse, they decided to show the last 3 laps after the podium celebrations.. totally irrelevant when we know what the bloody result was! I think Ofcom had some words to say on that if I remember correctly. |

I wonder whether the irony of Leeds fans calling something else s**t has been lost on anyone?

Sundays are pretty much the most watched day all year round. In the winter there can be a total of 28/29m people watching tv in primetime - 3/4m higher than the second most watched day (which is Saturday atm).
Because the Sunday shows for big brother are always the second lowest performing days and looking at barb the highest rated non-soap sunday show in the first week of June this year got less than 5 million. |

I thought so, because families are all in and because the beeb tend to launch most their dramas lately on a Sunday (Little Dorrit and Survivors being the most recent two) but are you sure it's also the case in the summer?

I would love to see how the BBC would use Ant and Dec and I bet they will swap channels before their careers run down even if they have to take a hefty pay cut.

Talking of ITV talent potentially swapping channels, I see that for a second week in a row, Al Murray is fronting another Friday night BBC1 show - this time, Live at the Apollo.

Finally got round to doing the monthly averages (all hours share) for BBC One, like mlt11 did for ITV1 yesterday
BBC One Jan 2008 – 21.8% (Jan 2007 – 22.3%), Change = Down 2.2% Feb 2008 – 21.8% (Feb 2007 – 22.5%) Change = Down 3.1% Mar 2008 – 21.2% (Mar 2007 – 22.0%) Change = Down 3.6% Apr 2008 – 21.7% (Apr 2007 – 21.5%) Change = Up 0.9% May 2008 – 21.5% (May 2007 – 22.2%) Change = Down 3.2% June 2008 – 22.0% (June 2007 – 22.7%) Change = Down 3.1% July 2008 – 21.5% (July 2007 – 21.0%) Change = Up 2.3% Aug 2008 – 24.4% (Aug 2007 – 20.5%) Change = Up 19% Sept 2008 – 20.8% (Sept 2007 – 22.6%) Change = Down 8.0% Oct 2008 – 21.2% (Oct 2007 – 22.0%) Change = Down 3.6% The overall picture pretty much confirms what we'd been suspecting for BBC One. A solid first few months with around 3% decline followed by a great summer (with the Olympics giving that huge anomaly in August) followed by their worst month this year in September. ITV's are below for comparisons sake ITV1 Jan 2008 - 19.1% (Jan 2007 - 19.2%), Change = Down 0.5% Feb 2008 - 19.0% (Feb 2007 - 19.7%) Change = Down 3.6% Mar 2008 - 18.6% (Mar 2007 - 19.7%) Change = Down 5.6% Apr 2008 - 18.6% (Apr 2007 - 18.8%) Change = Down 1.1% May 2008 - 19.7% (May 2007 - 18.9%) Change = Up 4.2% June 2008 - 17.8% (June 2007 - 18.8%) Change = Down 5.3% July 2008 - 17.3% (July 2007 - 18.6%) Change = Down 7.0% Aug 2008 - 16.1% (Aug 2007 - 18.3%) Change = Down 12.0% Sept 2008 - 18.3% (Sept 2007 - 19.6%) Change = Down 6.6% Oct 2008 - 19.4% (Oct 2007 - 20.8%) Change = Down 6.7% |

Thanks sn_22.
![]() I wonder why the bounce for BBC1 in July? What was on then that was so popular it managed to increase BBC1's share?

Channel 4 have now moved Star Stories to the Thursday night slot despite the poor performance of 8 Out of 10 Cats. I'm starting to think we might see a move for Big Brother Eviction Shows when it comes back in January.

'New Tricks' debuted in July pulling 8m plus and Bonekickers too (which actually did quite well till everyone realised it was pap )I suppose one could argue this left them with less strong stuff for autumn, perhaps accounting slightly for Septembers poorer performance. |

The contract signed to keep using the current house states that all events bar 5, must take place on a Friday. Unless they some how get it changed, which would mean voiding that contract and writing up a new one. If 8 out of 10 cats performed poorly though on Thursdays, is an odd move to take another Friday show and put it there. I think the most likely move, is that they'll combine the two eviction shows. |
