Why isn't there a FA cup tie airing during the late afternoon next week? It seems bizarre that the biggest tie in the round is being played at lunchtime.
BBC went for quantity over quality and were rewarded for it. Takeaway did reasonably well and The Cube didn't disgrace itself. Casualty put in a strong performance while Alan Parent's idiocy gave Match of the Day's boost. |

Just because they're in the room and picked up by BARB doesn't mean they're actually watching or enjoying.

The Voice only fell 0.3million. Last year the fall was 0.6m, year before it fell 0.7m. This is the best ever retention for the Voice's battle stage!

Not very high for TVUK given the extra hour against The Flop. I can see the downward trend continue in the lives as SNT grows.
![]() I suppose every week that goes by just rubber stamps TVUK's return next year more emphatically. Watching last night I think Kylie has softened the feel of the show, more than anyone else she made the battles watchable (for me they are a weird concept) and the coach interaction was more engaging. Obviously remains to be seen about the downward trend but Jan is so clearly the time of year to launch the show-everything else is having to chase it. SNT pushing TVUK very close, but such is the positive response from fans of the show that I wonder whether the ratings over time have totally fulfilled their potential. Not totally grim for The Cube but Ross is lost again and BBC1 is comfortably clear-and presumably will win every Saturday night primetime from Jan until BGT. Wonder just where Rising Star will go(just Sun or just Sat, or Sat and Sun?)-most interesting schedule choice even now. |

You could say the same about SNT then. That's a bit of silly post.

The figures weren't that bad and no worse than everything else in that slot. But they tend to keep that style of series but with a different presenter each time. Ade Edmondspn, Gryff Rhys Jones and someone else have all done them in the past year or so, and won't be returning. Obviously because it's Christine, it has to have flopped to fit the narrative. Some cold hard facts- she hasn't been under exclusive contract with ITV since the summer, yet they still employ her.
Her career has barely suffered at ITV anyway. What would she have actually done at the BBC? (Excluding the rumoured Olympics role which would've been tiny) They were the best team on The One Show as well. |

She's been very unlucky. I think Adrian & Christine's Daybreak ratings aren't looking so bad now compared to what they currently are.
They were the best team on The One Show as well. |

Exactly. I also get what Derek says when he suggests that just because a programme is on in the background doesn't mean it's being watched or enjoyed. But the one thing I will contest from that is that if at least ONE person per household is watching it and enjoying it then surely that's a good representation anyway. I don't know anyone who puts on a programme they absolutely loathe just to endure it for its entirety.

However Man City are playing in the late slot on Sunday (4.30pm I think) and then have to go to Barcelona on the Wednesday, so give or take an hour that is exactly the same turnaround. |

OK for both Takeaway and The Voice, I guess. Perhaps its just the fact they're both under 7m but both numbers are hitting me as a bit underwhelming. I was hoping Takeaway would be a bit stronger this year after such a good first series and other success for A&D. And for all the excitement, improved scheduling and how supposedly amazing everything is on the show, The Voice has been trending down year on year for the past 3 weeks now despite the fact that the equivalent episodes last year were airing in April into May.
It's looking a bit like "battle of the B Listers" at the moment. The first direct rugby lead-in for about a month ought to help The Voice back over 7m next week at least but without that it looks like it will keep to the usual trend and drop off into the lives. Both shows are doing well enough though, Takeaway is a much needed return for itv at this time of year and The Voice is still the best performing new show for quite a while. When you look at how some other new stuff has been doing, it's clear that both shows are secure for years. The Cube matching Take Me Out's underwhelming performance in that slot but without the demos I suspect. Still, it was up against The Voice so it's not as bad as I thought it might have been. Big figure for Match of the Day considering there weren't really any big matches. I guess the Pardew drama was responsible - it's just like all the reality shows, really. The real sell is drama and scandal, not football! |

Does seem odd - my guess is Arsenal are in Champions League action on the Tuesday and playing at 5.30pm on a Saturday would in their view not give their little legs enough time to recover so Arsenal being Arsenal have whined about it and got the game into the early slot.
However Man City are playing in the late slot on Sunday (4.30pm I think) and then have to go to Barcelona on the Wednesday, so give or take an hour that is exactly the same turnaround. |

Still life in the cube then, it seems to have saved itself, maybe it's a cat and has nine lives, it's a shame bbc couldn't be more forgiving, especially with drama, but I guess viewers are more likely to return to a gameshow than a drama.

I highly doubt you's be saying this if he was constantly putting down the BBC, in ratings, programmes etc., even when he was attacking Atlantis you were getting annoyed so imagine if he did this all the time to the BBC.
But, H, unlike yourself, I don't have a strange infatuation with his posts that require me to reply to each and every one. Btw, if anyone made a constructive criticism regarding BBC shows rather than slating them I'd be more than happy to take their views on merit. The same as if I want to criticise an ITV show (did you read my post about Edge of Heaven) then I will do constructively. Of course sometimes, we all tend to be antagonists so constructiveness and common sense goes out the window, such is the nature of discussing things with fellow human beings, but the art is to be selective in who or what you reply to. Most of Samuels posts I ignore because they don't warrant acknowledgement, let alone a reply, but others he makes are informative and actually make sense. |

Last year, episodes of The Cube up against the Voice averaged 3.3million. So yesterday's 3.8m was quite a bit better, although its return was very heavily trailed throughout the week. Another strong rating for Pointless, a 24% share for a repeat is very good. BBC One definately should be looking at having Pointless Celebrities all year round in the 6pm slot [25 weeks new eps, 25 weeks repeats], it does lock in a 20%+ audience every Saturday night, and they wouldnt have to worry about commissioning new untested shows like Reflex or Secret Service.

Speaking of Reflex, anyone got a rating for its penultimate edition? Also for the You've Been Framed! compilation; it seems to have been well beaten by the Pointless repeat.

As a presenter, he forgot what time the programme was due to start.
Being married to a golf pro, and taking part in several pro-am tournaments has probably given him absolutely no knowledge & expertise of all things golf. And of course he's a total amateur when it comes to broadcasting, never been on national radio, ever. Or have I got it wrong somewhere along the line? |

5m+ for Casualty, but so it should be against flop Jonathan Ross. 2.38m for JR including +1. Could Michael McIntyre's new chat out-rate Wossy's season finale next weekend?
