Are contributors to this thread concentrating to much on ratings for particular programmes and missing the bigger picture?

16 of last night's top 25 programmes were on BBC. And some interesting patterns in viewing, with a BBC2 food programme doing exceptionally well?

Or are you?

If you want more programmes in the chart you can:

1) Make shorter programmes (30 minutes instead of 90 minutes)

2) appeal to audiences that are less attractive to advertisers but gross up your figures for league table purposes

BBC2 not listening to you they are showing a 90 minute programme about the beginnings of Doctor Who and if that not in the top 25 tomorrow i'll run naked around my building.

Given only 1.6m or more is needed these days to make it in the Top 25 I think your co-workers/habitants are safe!

Am looking forward to AAISAT.... I'm guessing high 3's....

So to the ITV brigade.

Not forgetting that BBC3 figure was higher than usual

Excellent for the Countryfiile spin off. My dad watches CF just for Adam's Farm, so he clearly has a following. Given that CF is capable of tonking Corrie now, perhaps Adam's Farm Kitchen might be tried up against Corrie - say Mondays at 8.30?

Anyone know what he's on about?

I miss these pearls of wisdom when George goes off on one of his sulks.

This is interesting in terms of US television. ABC has bought the rights to Rising Star. Could this succeed and where could ABC put it for maximum effect?

Yet it was still over the 8 million mark in the overnights. Something EE couldn't manage until couple of days ago.

Yes, we must consider quantity.

3 x Farms Under the Hammer = 1 x IAC

5 x Britains Cookingest Cooks! = 1 x X-Factor

12 x Britains Scroungingest Scroungers = Royal Charter Renewal

Yes and you are up for a life time achievement award in the "overnights are increasingly irrelevant except when itv's figures are low excluding +1's" category.

Yes I'm very sorry. The cross over from EastEnders to Ian Wright is only 500,000.

I'm A Celeb had 9.81m inc+1 last night. Although its disappointing to see it drop, its still a huge figure for a weekday programme (biggest this year I believe!?) and will timeshift over 10million anywhere between 10.5m-11m. And its not lik its going to continue dropping, should be up over 10m on Saturday and Sunday. This series is in line to become the most watched ever.

Corrie is faltering because Stuart Blackburn is ruining it, if this week is anything to go by EE with be above Corrie during December as SB drives Corrie into the ground

I could say the same about I'm A Celeb losing viewers because of The Joey Show.

You do seem to have a thing against Stuart Blackburn at the moment but hasnt he been running the show for ages?

Don't have a go at me, I'm an avid Corrie watcher, but am fed up with SB stories and want Phil Collinson to return. Its now become the Tina show, and will continue until she leaves.

Was the total available audience down on Monday & Tuesday? Corrie is still getting good ratings but the grumbling about quality is getting louder. Not affecting ratings yet though.

He's turned it into The Tina show, all storylines re going round in circles. I am annoyed that Corrie is in danger of becoming in a similar situation EE was in recently. I think he's been there since March, so his storylines are firmly in place now.

One posotive is that the Roy and Hayley storyline is good, but the episodes are being dragged down by everything else.

Cant see any evidence that the total audience was down on Monday as EE got 8m with a similar share to the previous week.

Same path as EE, its ratings were starting to falter until early 2012, 2011 is where the rot set in.

They do seem intent on dragging out the Roy/Hayley story till Xmas though dont they?

Little tip for you. Just because you can bring up problems with another show it does not make the issues clouding Corrie disappear.

Corrie is seriously floundering quality wise at the moment but whether that will eventually be reflected in the ratings remains to be seen. They do have that loyal audience who would still hang on even if the show broadcast 30 minutes of Emily Bishop having a wee.

Well, due to the fact she's a long standing character i thinks its good that she has been given more screen time, meaning Hayley will be present to her last Xmas with Roy. Better than giving her a rushed exit. The storyline is very realistic and and is the one good storyline on Corrie at the moment.
