They couldn't even wipe off the rain drops from the camera lense.
Even the BBC cant make the rain stop falling you know. You can wipe the lense and then 15 seconds later, you have to wipe it again. You can try to position the cameras on the other side of the station, but that would involve using a cherry picker and would result in shakier pictures due to the wind. Nothing wrong with Steve Rider either. Professional presenter with a journalistic background. Gets the job done without it all being smart assed comments & look at me style of certain other hosts. And ads on ITV, really!!

IIRC, the same happened in Brazil with the F1 last month after the race, the ITV guys kept having to wipe the camera every 15 seconds, as the paddock area was turning into a rain deluge!
OT: What do you guys think of this? It's not made by the BBC, it's a mockup of what he thinks the intro will look like next year. It looks real!!

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.

5.45 and 8.20. (Provisionally). |

Britannia High 2m????
![]() ![]() ![]() Oh dear. It looks like ITV have found the worthy successor to 'Celebrity Wrestling'. ![]() There's a naughty part of me that's willing it on to drop to sub 2m ratings. 2m? The weather was really cold too, it was freezing outside. So for BH to hit a low of 2m for ITV that's quite some achievement. |

Are ITV going to bother tipping money into the finale of BH? Celebrity Wrestling's lowest rating in primetime was 2.56M and that was on in warmer weather and was directly against Doctor Who.

It doesnt even look like the Dvd or Cd are doing anything special either so it looks like Bh life will be short lived

LMAO at Brittania High's rating. I bet ITV were expecting it to be the UK's answer to high school musical, with the kiddies tuning in in their millions. They had arranged for them to perform at the NTA's a week after premiering and I bet they had a tour planned and merchandise. It didn't take off though for a few reasons including excessive but bad promotion, badly written and unimaginative songs and cheap production values as exposed on Harry Hill.

Just saw it on Youtube
: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=vwwywcM_sdQShocking coverage by ITV by the looks of it. Look at those graphics... looks like it's made by some school Graphics student. They couldn't even wipe off the rain drops from the camera lense. This went out on TV? Cool! |

As it is only averaging 2.5 million, most of the promotional ideas will be dropped. I have seen a CD and DVD in the shops, but then this might be contractual or simply a way for ITV to claw back some of the money they have spent on this turkey. |

I read a press report on the weekend that it was launched. ITV had a CD, DVD and tour planned, as well as the chance of a movie tie-in, but it all depended on how well the ratings did. ITV hoped for 6-8 million, with an average of 6m.
If they wanted that many viewers they should have scheduled it better (Saturdays, inbetween the x factor and the x factor results) and put more effort into it. When the first episode aired, I told my sister to check it out since she was a high school musical fan till they started milking it for all it was worth. Within minutes she said "this is crap, high school musical is much better" and turned over. It's embarrasingly bad. I saw a clip where the guy from the bank adverts uses some cheesey cliche about being who you want to be or something like that and I just cringed. |

I'm 28, and even I liked High School Musical. It was what i expected, made for teenagers and young kids, but there was something endeering about the cast. BH makes High School Musical look like Ben-Hur! |
