Sad news everyone - one of the Ratings Thread's finest (and the second member to ever post here back in December 2006):

It's a shame. Looks like hes been banned after he made comments about Coro's Bill Roache, which offended some people.
It wasn't me who got him banned by the way, his level of ITV bashing was better than some not so far away from here, not all his posts were bashing ones, also unlike some, plus he disliked The Voice and you could tell he was having to praise it through gritted teeth! I'm sure he'll be back. Next time ITV have particularly bad luck, he won't be able to resist. |

Robbie should have known better. |

People find everything offensive these days.
That said, I will miss Robbie. We disagreed on many things but his contributions were mostly good and occasionally he amused me. *whispers quietly* Maybe he'll come back in a new guise. Wouldn't be the first time. |

There's a reason online newspapers don't open up comments for news stories like these when the trial is ongoing, you know...

True, you've got to be careful what you say these days when there's an ongoing court case.

Dull evening of telly on BBC1 tonight compared to last night. Hopefully The Bletchley Circle will pick up a few viewers tonight as a result.

A quarter of a million kettles were boiled tonight as Coronation Street came to an end. Sounds like a lot but it is almost half the number of kettles boiled compared to when Eastenders climaxed in 2009 with the death of Danielle Mitchell [10.6million].

For comparison purposes, here are the overnight ratings for the exits of some well known Coro characters in the last few years:
2006- Mike Baldwin: 11.8m 2006- Fred Elliot: 11.0m 2007- Tracey Barlow: 11.8m 2008- Vera Duckworth: 12.4m (51%) 2010- Jack Duckworth: 11.64m (44%) 2012- Becky MacDonald's: 11.51m (44.2%) Let's see how Hayley Cropper rates compared to these exits. Quote:

I remember the Madeline McCann cull of (whenever she went off)I think several thousand good posters were banned for life for daring to question Gerry and his wife on the DS thread(who incidentally have done nothing wrong and are good honest people, like Tony Blair or the President of Syria)
Anyway Samuel, some epic behaviour tonight from yourself. I expect you will declare anything sub 15m a crisis for Corrie and a sure sign EE is on the rise and will march again! |

Thanks for those but to add to them, Sean Wilson's late 2005 exit took 'a mediocre 10.94m (49.1%)'.
The scene where Vera returned to take Jack with her, and the camera panned upwards was one of the sadest scenes I've ever seen in a TV drama. None of this takes anything away from tonight's episodes though. |

The soaps have become very difficult to predict over the past couple of years as I think the rather inexplicable rise EastEnders saw for the Kat & Alfie reunion demonstrates quite nicely. Its going to be interesting to see the numbers tomorrow. I'm not sure I'm expecting much beyond the norm though to be honest.

I liked Helix but what the hell were Channel 5 playing at with the adverts?!
The ratio of programme to adverts was not right at all, the breaks felt abnormally frequent. Everyone's saying the same thing on Twitter so not just me, and predictably comments along the lines of "good show but I'll record it next week." Once again they could be stuck with a show that underwhelms in the overnights but adds a silly amount on catchup which is no good when catchup viewers don't pay the bills unless they are the few watching via Demand 5. No chance of this rating well with such poor ad placement and such a late finish. It even finished early by about 5 minutes so they had to run some Home & Away / Neighbours featurette to kill time before Bit On The Side. |

Also lacked the production values of Under The Dome and yet....there is something that is compelling about the mystery. I want to know what's going on and will return to it. |

Helix was on Demand 5 by 10pm so I watched it there through my Sky box. Was finished by 11.20pm!

I want to know what's going on and will return to it. On Twitter I'd say 5 in every 6 comments roughly is positive. But the amount of ads on the live broadcast was universally hated. If it topped a million for the pilot it'll have done well but suspect it will be down to about 700,000 or worse by next Monday. Should hold up somewhat better in the officials. C5 need to review their ad structure if they want this to be a good year for drama on 5, especially with Suspects around the corner. |

I didn't think the ads were that bad. 2 in the first 20 minutes used to be what Sky did before they learned a lesson so I was sort of trained to expect it

No it didn't fully live up to my expectations either but there was enough going for it that I'll be back for more. It certainly delivered on the horror and gore front and the story is compelling to this point, albeit not massively original so far. The script and acting could have been stronger in places, but again it did enough to grab me.

Suddenly simply not returning is not quite so bad but the thread won't be the same without him... especially his ongoing battles with GeorgeS!
