No more soaps! We have enough. What we DO need more of us variety in schedules. Sitcom, drama, 30 minute quizzes.
Totally agree - we are well enough served by soaps. |

But they need continuing drama to drive the schedule. This is a replacement for Waterloo Road we're talking about remember, not in addition to. |

I wonder if the sad passing of Roger Lloyd Pack puts into doubt the Only Fools sport relief special.

I would like to see a decent serial set in the world of a police station if Waterloo Road is eventually dropped. The Bill is missed and nothing has replaced it.

With the sad loss of Roger Lloyd Pack you'd think that any OFAH comeback would be even more of a bad idea
Eldorado comeback is equally horrific. |

Would not have thought so. Others of the original cast are no longer with us and you could just do a 3 or 4 hander anyway.

Very sadly (despite what others think about returning OFAH), the last chance of a true final payoff(which was on the cards apparently) was the untimely death of John Sullivan. Sadness all round really. |

Terribly sad news though. Agree that it probably puts paid to more Dibley than more OFAH |

![]() They've missed the schedule deadline by nearly 24 hrs, for what? Original scheduling was fine, perfect even. Sunday eviction will be a bit of a novelty though. First time ever there's been a live show on a Sunday since it came to C5. |

Yes its poor stuff. Fanbase is everything it seems, City are playing some champagne football at the moment and are the team of the moment. Casual viewers not bothered by that though. ITV might be gutted about the figure (less than Waterloo Road overall) but may be not so much about being dumped from the whole thing.
I doubt neturals would find enjoyment in seeing the would-be champions annihilate a Championship team, no matter how close it was in the first half. But ITV should expect a better figure for when they face Barcelona. In the FA Cup, casual viewers only seem interested in the traditional triumvirate of United, Liverpool and Arsenal. If all three are out, that'll be mayday for ITV. |

I don't understand why C5 keep extending BB (I love it) but the ratings aren't that much bigger, or are they?
Are they only doing it because the press and viewer response has been overwhelmingly positive? Would the final rate better on a Tuesday or Wednesday? The Sunday eviction should be a surprise (to the housemates) and would boost interest for those last days. |

I guess they assume everyone PVRs and they assume limited EE and GBBO cross over.
Based on last night's absolutely normal numbers for EE and GBBO perhaps they are not such idiots after all... Quote:
Is that live Apollo rating what we can expect for outnumbered, it's not a good sign!

And it certainly would have to be in completely different form (including the name). Eldorado is arguably the most panned and derided programme in tv history.
Quote:
Its such a controversial programme its initial audience would be huge. The media had a field day with it so would be interested to see it rebooted and on top form with great writers and cast but I would keep it to just stories on the British ex pats this time! No foriegn language sequences!
It's the same idea that lead to Crossroads coming back, and we know how badly that went. You get the name recognition from show one thanks to everyone going Crossroads is back, ha ha ha, but it only has a novelty factor. If it's just a perfectly adequate but totally unexceptional soap, everyone will switch off. The new Crossroads wasn't doing anything the other soaps weren't already and any novelty disappeared after week one when everyone realised it was just going to be a bog standard soap. I mean, this is not having a go at anyone personally, but Eldorado is the most toxic brand imaginable. You'd be better off bringing back Jim'll Fix It. |

Sunday eviction looks like an odd one! |

Maybe moving CBB again was a reaction to DIP's launch rating. Wednesday is a quieter night so a bigger opportunity for the final to capitalise.

Channel 5
20:00 Gibraltar: Britain in the Sun: 0.99m (4.3%) Watched this back last night and I think its run its course. It's far too similar to the first series. Even the EPG guide (despite saying new) it's all very repetitive. Re- Dibley. I always thought the issue was Emma Chambers not wanting to get involved again |
