Funny how BBC Scotland had a Scottish FA Cup match that had exactly the same issue with rain oscuring the lenses this season and yet that doesnt get dragged up endlessly.

Good figures for the football. When did it peak?

*sarcasm*

22:41. Unfortunately viewers were watching adverts instead of Daniel Gosling's goal.

That's what I mean. A similar problem that gets forgiven, but because ITV had other problems at that match, and before and since, it gets picked on even though they weren't really to blame for that particular issue...

Every bit of live ITV sports coverage is now under the microscope!

I wonder if those advertisers have to pay extra!

Decent-ish for Minder but that will inevitably fall. It hasn't received the greatest of reactions from what I've been reading.

Wednesday 4th January ?? and E4 didnt show 90210 last night did they?

Mistakes will happen. I demand an inquiry!!

Sack, fire, hand back the contract for doing the ratings table

i wasnt saying it in a nasty way, I really like the ratings tables!! i was just letting people know

I know. I just think it ironic that a certain poster is ripping into ITV for making a mistake

It seems Minder fell from 2.6-2.2m which isn't too good and the football peaked at 20.45 with 6.7m.

Great Ratings for the football and the soaps on ITV1.

Coronation Street isn't being very consistent though with ratings. It dropped 1.2m and 0.6m from both it's episodes on Monday Night.

Emmerdale doing well.

WR damaged by the football but it was brilliant again last night.

EastEnders and Emmerdale should get high figures tonight due to the snow.

Emmerdale 8m
EastEnders 10m

All of the Monday ratings were inflated because of the snow. I don't believe the snow was as bad last night so it's inevitable Corrie would fall - the Monday episodes also tend to be the most watched of the week as well.

I'm pretty sure they are the overnights for the previous Wednesday D.M.N.

The writing was okay, the direction also, but the casting was completely wrong. Shame. I'll give it a go next week to see if they have overcome their teething problems, nerves or whatever.

Interesting to see that it didn't actually peak at the end of the match, which I would have expected.

Your reaction to this issue seems to be very reasonable and devoid of your usual application of sacastic wit, George? Surely ITV are not above its wrath?

Speaking of the football (and slightly more on-topic), I did think the coverage might pull a little higher given that there was relatively little chat either side of it. In particular, I'm surprised it peaked so early rather than in Extra Time when penalties looked almost certain.

Waterloo Road looks to have settled at that level in its new slot which is reasonable for it. It could probably do half a million more on Thursdays but I suppose they've decided the trade-off is worth making for propping up a very difficult slot.

Minder was pretty unspectacular after all the promotion. It'll be considered a moderate success if it holds the numbers it got last night. But if it falls (as would seem likely), I don't know whether Five will consider it worth the investment.

Minder was pretty much well up against it though with the football, a generally strong Grand Designs and a heavily promoted Terry Pratchett Alzheimers documentary as well as the ususally strong New Tricks

So BBC1 aside everything five was up against was new so I think they'll be happy-ish

And as The FA Cup produces more juicy ties leading to the final so the ratings increase. People will watch football on ITV.

Anyone know how Gossip Girl did on ITV2 last night? (9pm)

Thanks

1,000/ 6,700,000 = 0.000149% actually for the record

Actually, for the record...

It's 0.000149 or 0.0149%
