It was the ratings sadly. DCI Banks faced the same competition it did but rated higher. I think it's a shame as it was a good series.
I sort of liked Bletchley but some of the writing in terms of storytelling was poor - how they deduced half the solutions they came up with just mystifying at times. Still a shame to see it end as it was well made.

If Barb were truly representative they should have a BARB box in at least one Care Home, since that's where a lot of the older population now live and they aren't all decrepit and senile you know.
New Bake Off? BBC2's Big Allotment Challenge digs in with 2.5m viewers, 11.8% share

I find this whole OAP bashing a bit offensive. My Nan is 78 and can quite easily work a Sky + box and she knows how to set programmes for record days in advance. She also watches all sorts of programmes and channels. Not all old people are decrepit and stick to BBC1 all day.
Rant over. Sorry guys if I bring the thread to a meltdown.

I agree. It's especially insulting to older posters here to see that. It's a complete lack of respect and class.

I have to agree with you there. Mum is 75 this year and she is very happy using Tivo, even using it to watch youtube, and finds herself watching GOLD and some of the movie channels. She has an iPad, and orders her weekly shopping from Sainsburys online. She used to watch all the soaps but has gradually stopped over the last couple of months, citing that they are all crap now and not as good as they used to be.
Just because you get to a certain age, it doesn't mean that you turn to jelly and can't move or learn new things or watch different channels.

I wasn't bashing the Oap's just pointing out the ones in carehomes aren't monitored by Barb and so aren't represented and I think they should be.
Great start for the Allotment Challenge, it was a surprisingly fun show and I can actually see it growing instead of hovering around the 2.5m mark like Sewing Bee did.
It got 2.46m/11.8%, to be more exact thanks to TVRatingsUK. Speaking of which is anyone else annoyed that DS reports seem to have gone down to 1 decimal place? The quality of them just keeps on declining. (I know they haven't released one yet for last night, but this just reminded me of it.)
Agreed, I don't know why people think it's ok to insult an entire age group just to make a dig at a channel.

Obviously when some of us talk about the OAPs watching BBC1 all the time, I don think anyone is being serious, I'm certainly not. One ofmy grandparents watch BBC1 frequently, the other watches ITV a lot and BBC as well. Its only that the shows on Sunday usually remain srong because they are heavily watched by the older generation. Nothing wrong with that, but its why they always do better than ITV when they're on.
Don't take it seriously

I think people are more annoyed with DS ratings reports in general.
There is no consistency when some +1 channels are quoted and others aren't.

I'm glad the share is creeping up.

Yes, they've been poor for a while now but that's the latest thing I've noticed about them (and I can't say I'm too bothered about the +1 thing.
)

Looking at those figures, we could be looking at some pretty poor figures during the height of the summer. At least the share for Eastenders is up.

The rating and share for EE isn't bad when you compare it to Emmerdale which seems to be lacking any interesting storylines at he moment to keep the audience throughout the week. It only get a boost when Corrie is on. ITV really need to have words with their soap bosses and sort this mess out.

But will EastEnders get a boost with the Lucy storyline? That's the big question.

It might get an artificial boost at the end of Friday and Monday's episode should be up a slight %.

The reviews of Prey have been good, ITV seemingly expecting big things of it. It will get at least 6m in that cushy timeslot.

“I think this next week or two, we may witness a turning point for Eastenders. The gap behind Coro last night was less than a million and it wasnt down from last Mondays audience as much as the other soaps. I have a feeling we could see an upward movement, certainly share-wise.”

Let's wait and see. We have seen several storylines plugged and ratings have remained static.

It would be expected to get a significant boost, that's what usually happens with big storylines. That happened with Corrie and 'Killer Cameron' in Emmerdale but just doesn't seem to happen with EastEnders currently.
We'll see.
