Some fantastic logic behind that sentence. Lol at you pretending to be a fan of The Voice too.
The Ratings Thread (Part 58)
31 of 337
The X Factor shows that run over 2 hours (I think 2h15 was the longest last year) are too long and that's with ad breaks.

I don't think he's pretending to be a TVUK fan, just casual viewer, as most seem to be with TVUK when it faces tough opposition.

You never know. I don't think it was very professional or polite to ambush Lindsay about that when he was at a promotional event for his latest musical.

As Agent F's recent detective work revealed, it was recommissioned some time ago, although we don't know exactly when. Wouldn't surprise me if it was before series two started airing.

Typical award worked around One Direction voted for by Twitter users. Complete waste of time and predictable winner. I know its stupid but it wouldn't surprise me if it was in Simon Cowell's contract with ITV for One Direction to be guaranteed an award. Silly I know but this happened last year.

If thats true, it's a disgrace how these awards are being rigged or constructed in order to let Cowell and his products win. Its why hardly anyone takes the Brits seriously these days. Ratings have almost halved from the 9.9million who watched 15 years ago.

I notice that Julie Graham has joined the cast of Shetland. Uh-oh! Ominous! Some say she's a kiss of death for a TV drama.
The first 2-part Shetland story lost 2.3m viewers between parts 1 and 2, which is also not very promising. Although part 2 was on against Broadchurch, so it had an excuse. (Part 1 was on a Sunday, part 2 on a Monday).

Yet last year was the highest rating for eight years... And has anyone ever taken the Brits seriously, I thought it was just an excuse for a big piss up?

One Direction would always win an award decided on with a social media vote.

Facing Broadchurch caused the Shetland drop. Think it should do better this time. Got a good rating on the Sunday.
Could be worse though, Ashley Walters could have joined the cast!
Despite the good line up o guests, The Brits are tedious tonight, I've turned over; Corden is awful (thank god its his last year), truly awful, the whole thing is slow, boring and underwhelming. How disappointing.
Why Corden, why?

So did The Musketeers for its 1st episode - look what happened there.
From what I remember the posters on the thread for Shetland were slating the show from all sides, too dark on screen ( I think?).

That bad hay H? I didn't enjoy it last year so didn't bother watching this year. Watching WR although that's probably not much better.

Wouldn't be surprised if Eric Cowell gets the Lifetime Achievement award.

That's because it had the Coro oap-boosting lead-in for the first time in years last year. Normally the BRITS was on Tuesday nights for the majority of the last decade. Last year the Coro oap-boosting lead-in gave its ratings a bump up compared to its usual Tuesday flopzone slot.

Whys he a troll Andy when what he's said is true?
although I admit I can't see many oaps wanting to watch the Brits.

MMm..yes i can many OAP's watching The Brits
Its a fact that in 90pct of cases, when an Itv show is given a Coro lead-in, its ratings rise compared to when it has a 'normal' sub 4m lead-in. DCI Banks is another recent example, up 1.5m from a previous run which aired on Wednesdays without the Coro support. Brits last year rose from the year before, primarily down to 50+ year olds watching last year compared to year before, helped by CS lead-in.

Some of it maybe true, but most is over exaggerated to make it look worse. You can't say he doesn't troll because he does, but only 95% of the time.

I still don't understand how this is meant to be a bad thing. Surely if any broadcaster had an 8m+ show five times a week they'd use it to launch big shows?
It doesn't take anything away from the show's success.
