Except Splash is already a rip off of every other "lets make celebrities do something" format that have aired for the last 10-15 years. Maybe your bat needs binoculars.

Of all the biggest hit's most of them seem to be total surprises. It's just not very Original.
I have plenty of original formats!

Im right on most occasions. I said yesterday that New Year Live had a real chance of topping IAC, which it now turns out to have.
Waterloo Road (even if not axed by then) cannot be on Christmas Eve as they go off air during term breaks.
They could do a school pantomime special, I guess. Though how this school would interpret Snow White, for instance, is anyone's guess. It would likely need to be post watershed.

It would just be a bunch of juveniles copulating over cheap costumes.
Really not worth watching. Id much rather watch "Ken's Don't Drop The Raspberry Flan" Family entertainment.

Splash will do badly against TV and will probably go. However, it wasn't as bad as the critics thought and it achieved 5 million against awful BBC One opposition, although this time it will probably fall to 3 million against TV.
For TV, I'm predicting an average of 7 million, which will see BBC One comfortably into the spring. This time last year BBC One was launching Secret Service to massive indifference.

I do admire you for all the stick you take and just keep on going. Also you annoy a lot of posters who should know better and grow up. Happy New Year to you.

I have. Debuted a few days after the main one. Thought it would just be a cut down trailer then another baby started singing!
I like the trailers as it shows it to be funny. The Voice was too serious in how it presented itself. "The chairs don't spin they rotate!" The PR correcting people on that. Now they're quite happy to say the chairs spin with Kylie there.

If Waterloo Road did a pantomime - how would anybody spot the difference.

You have to say though that its nearly all spin. I just dont think there is that much interest to be honest but agree with the sort of ratings predictions most are making. If it is going to be a bigger hit than it has so far it has to be now.
Random request for ronant - how did the first ten minutes of Kevin and Perry Go Large do please? (BBC One, 25:50 to 26:00, the overnight cut-off point).

Samuel, much to my surprise, is apparently a grown up too!

It is always possible that both Splash and TVUK will be relatively successful at the same time. Splash could still get 5m and the TVUK 7m+ at the same time.

Unless I'm mistaken series three was X Factor's breakthrough year.

No reason for it to drop significantly from the series 2 launch - in fact it should even improve on it.

Unless I've missed a major press release no air-date has ever been confirmed for it. It was assumed by multiple posters including myself that they'd put it post-Commonwealth Games because it's clearly suited to the potential wave of popularity which could sweep along minority sports post-Commenwealth Games, and that a proposed Michael McIntrye show would air in Q2, but nothing has ever been confirmed. Unless I've missed something.

Very harsh, he gets more things right than the majority of people in this thread.

Not even the BBC are as arrogant as you - rights for such events have to be negotiated or won. I just wonder as an open non-ticketed event whether all braodcasters are free to show them or as in Australia stations have to bid for the rights. Last year they cost London £2m, so they'd like to reclaim that back - though with the BBC covering it it would be moving taxpayers money from one pocket to the other.
I just hope these split shows for the purpose of a headline don't become common place. So far it's only the one station that isn't supposed to care about ratings that has done it.

A shame for Two Doors Down - would probably have been better on Monday in between an 8.30 EastEnders and a 10pm Mrs Browns Boys.

Explains why EastEnders has been continously talked about here for the last 18 months then.

Except EastEnders has not done consistently well in the ratings for a long, long time, so I'm not sure how you would know or remember that.
Anyone else noticed the BBC are trailing EE at the wrong time? There saying half 7 but last time I checked its on for an hour 8-9.

No one us saying it has it's just when it does do well like last Friday, hardly anyone says anything positive about it including yourself. Yet when it doesn't do so well, most are all out in force attacking it. There's normally pages full of EE talk. What about ED that fell a hell of a lot from Monday and hardly any mention of it here.
Overnight ratings for Graham Norton's BBC One New Year's Eve shows over the years:
Note: these are pan-UK overnight averages; Scotland opts out
Source: DS
A remarkably consistent share.
Norton's New Year show has never managed to make the top 30 BARB officials for BBC One in New Year week, hampered by not being shown in Scotland (it is screened north of the border at 24:20 tonight). In recent years he would have needed 4.8m-5.2m to make the top 30 chart; he could do it this year.
Code:
2009: 22:40-23:45 - 4.18m (26.6%) 2010: 22:40-23:45 - 4.52m (25.8%) 2011: (not shown - it was a Saturday and MOTD was on) 2012: 22:30-23:40 - 4.51m (26.9%) 2013: 22:15-23:15 - 4.76m (26.6%)

There was one year Waterloo Road started so late in the Autumn it ran across Christmas with the last episode of the series on the 30th December.
