I havent got a breakdown on me. But Broadcast says:
Therefore for it to average 5.98million across the hour, it must've dropped quite sharply throughout - probably down to around 5m towards the end. Either that or the Corrie viewers saw the first 5 minutes which was quite dramatic and didn't continue. We will see on Monday how it holds up. |

I to don't think he should be sacked, but he is an idiot. Everyone makes mistakes we're not all perfect. Although I agree with BBC that they should give him one last chance.

To be fair Clarkson does seem to have the thoughlessness of about 10 men - but on this I completely agree - it was a non story.
Add in some bandwagon-jumpers and some Pitchfork Army Reservists, and you have The Perfect Storm (where the facts get lost & distorted, where "did not say" becomes"said", where "was not broadcast" becomes "was broadcast", and where "was recited on a filmed piece that was not used" becomes "was recited in front of a studio audience"). |

BGT was better tonight but will probably be down (holiday weekend). The 7.15pm start might take a bit off the decline I guess. Quote:
And just 7.03m total viewers, equivalent to 1.4m here on a crude population comparison. Even taking into account the fractured and highly-competitive TV landscape over there, it's dire. Didn't The X Factor bottom out at a 1.5 or thereabouts, shortly before it was axed by FOX?
Idol had a mere 5% share of 18-49s, compared with 8% and a 2.6 for Grey's Anatomy. http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/201...d-down/259822/ Quote:
I think AI has come to the end of its shelf life. It's been on for 13 years and people are tired of it. This sort of rating on a major network means curtains.
Maybe this could be an omen for the equivalent over here ,TXF, which is in a steady decline and maybe should go in 2016. I imagine they'll lose the Thursday results show altogether. And I have no idea what they'll do about judges. They can't afford J'Lo and Seacrest again, surely? But they can't really go back either - Abdul and Jackson only works if they can get Cowell to do it (and I doubt that will happen). I wonder if they'll get another new production team too? If Idol was in a decline like X Factor then it would be fine. The problem is that X Factor UK fell by 3% last year, Idol is currently down nearly 40% for some episodes. And this is the third year in a row where there have been 30% falls. For FOX and Fremantle this has been a nightmare year. FOX really desperately need some half decent numbers from Ramsay this summer and So You Think You Can Dance? And America's Got Talent is now Fremantle's biggest show and it's absolutely vital for them that it does well. Quote:
What happened? It's not that long ago that Idol was the biggest show on TV!

I don't think he should be sacked and I don't think he will be sacked. He's a buffoon. He hasn't been racist to anyone and he hasn't killed anyone. Some people found what he said offensive, but of course those same people have likely offended others in their lifetime - we all have offended and we all have been offended. If he was directing his comments at an individual then he should have been instantly dismissed. It's a "Gordon Brown bigotgate" scenario really. A storm in a teacup that will be forgotten by Friday!
Clarkson has done so many dodgy things now, he is on thin ice. He is a buffoon and I can think of a lot of other words, I don't think he should be sacked though. |

Perhaps the main reason that such a non-story became the story that it was was because of the "Offended by Proxy" Brigade joining forces with the "Let's Get Clarkson" Army, having already recruited a number of "right on" PC liberals to the cause.

Mark Selby wins his superb snooker semi-final match at 10.26pm, so after interviews the snooker will finish about an hour late on BBC2.

Certain people both within and outside the BBC want all their presenters to be as bland as possible. Maybe they should replace Clarkson with Matt Baker.

I see GMB arrival a bit like a boat being launched in the water; The boat is launched, the water is displaced fluctuating to start with, but then settling. I can see GMB eventually settling (if they make small changes to improve it) to around 800k.

I assume the 4.30pm slot on BBC2 was replaced by something (presumably Coast or Escape to the Country). Not sure how long they stuck with the scheduled snooker slot on BBC1 this afternoon - did they go to Final Score early? |

Nah - its obvious - they need Jeremy Clarkson!!
![]() "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe..." The BBC can't surely on one hand give someone a final warning for (not) using a racist term and then make what would look to be a sexist decision for their biggest show. |

Graham and Tess could work, actually. Obviously no sexual chemistry but was there any with Brucie? They would be a good giggle, I feel. Graham and Claudia, even more so.

You need at least one person there that is funny, quick witted and can bring an extra dash of star quality to the show.
![]() Graham and Claudia would work very well, but for some reason I just can't see it with Tess - and I don't think these sort of shows are the best use of Graham's talents. Realistically though if they don't want to go with Claudia Graham Norton is pretty much their only option from within the BBC. |

It'll be Claudia and Tess though if she wants to do it, trouble is Tess hasn't been that great in the Bruce role, competent but not great, but they can't put Claudia in the main role without putting Tess out. |

I think Norton could add a more fun to Strictly. |

I don't this Claudia is the right choice. I know shes don it before, but she ever so slightly irritating. Attractive, but slightly annoying. She is on the Sewing Bee anyhow.
I think Alan Carr would bring a great sense of fun to Strictly, and laughter. |

According to the provisionals somebody at ITV obviously loves the Americans as despite repeating Prey this week and next, the following week The Americans is scheduled at 9.30pm (BGT at 7.30, Greys at 8.30) to allow them to get the FA Cup highlights at 10.45pm. No sign of the repeat of Prey being scheduled elsewhere.
Considering how The Americans rates if the FA Cup bumps it's slot surely The Americans should go later, not earlier! Even 11.45pm is probably too good for it! |

Would love Claudia to do the main gig, but she might be a safe bet. Eccentric, but established.
As long as the co-presenter isn't Vernon Kay, I'm fine with it. |
