It looks like Bradley Walsh leaving Law & Order UK could be a blessing in disguise. He has said that he will be working on other dramas ITV are developing. It makes sense to rest dramas that are weaker and not performing their best.

Thanks for those DMN!
A timeshift of 1.80m for Happy Valley! Amazing, last night's episode could very well timeshift more. |

It will be interesting to see if any new ITV dramas materialise for Bradley Walsh. There have been so many instances of press releases like this promising future projects, but they often don't happen...
Robert Lindsay and Zoe Wanamaker were going to do new BBC One sitcoms after My Family ended, Noel Edmonds was going to start a new Saturday night BBC One series the year after Noel's House Party ended, Savile was going to start a new BBC series the year after Fix It ended, Cilla Black was going to do lots of new projects for ITV when Blind Date got canned... |

Hopefully Sarah Lancashire and Sally Wainwright will win plenty awards for "Happy Valley" I never got into "Last Tango In Halifax" but this series was fantastic TV drama. I would place Lancashire's performance above Keeley Hawes in "Line Of Duty" but as Mark Lawson points out that's a difficult choice between two very powerful performances.

Turns out the two Pointless editions on BBC Two the week before Wimbledon will be repeats. Quote:

Yes, I agree. Lots of these reports are created by PR experts who obviously big up the stars of axed shows by suggesting they will be able to work on other shows in the future. It doesn't necessarily mean that these shows exist or that the star would even want to do it. Walsh will be making no drama series in the near future. He is due to start filming in Spain soon.

If the BBC sitcom he is in is successful he will likely commit to that before anything else. He said he has always wanted to be in a sitcom. Doesn't stop him considering other options though.

Well I imagine he has time to do both if need be, although not many recent comedies on the BBC have been good enough to become a success.

Well it was Walsh himself who said he will be eager to try other dramas ITV are developing, and I imagine he will get a good chance too since ITV most probably hold him in high regard with his success on The Chase.

A bit on ITV's new period drama Granchester. From the pics it look very viewer friendly - set in Cambridge and the countryside.

ITV should continue with a 1 hour Emmerdale on Tuesday's to give a leg up to the programming at 8pm. Yesterday's factual offering was higher than anything in that slot (other than BGT and Love Your Garden). Take the split Emmerdale from Thursday and combine to create 1hr block at 7pm. Then put the new police drama at 8pm and finally put Holby City out of its misery. Following on at 9pm can be new major drama that launched on Monday.

ITV should be looking at reducing the hours of soaps, not increasing them. What police drama are you referring to? Also, why is it acceptable to steal the established EastEnders start time? Would you think it was appropriate If EE started at 7pm each day for an hour?

Incidentally - as we head into the second half of 2014 - we still have not heard of a single 6 episode+ new drama series for Itv for 2015. They really are cutting back on the dramas, it seems. The rumours about the Beowulf dramas have been denied by Itv thus far. |

http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/What...0407134727.htm It will do well as this thing always does, but you're hyping it up in a very Samuel-like way (not this post but your posts on it in the past,) something you often call him out on (i.e The Crimson Field.) |

Granny-chester might end up being too much of an OAP fest to get a big mainstream audience. It's set in the 1950s, might be quite plodding and slow. It might end up like Endeavour ratings-wise which is very popular with older audiences but just doesnt appeal to the under 50s. More contemporary dramas like New tricks and even Vera rate better than Endeavour. Granchester may go the same way.

P.s. An early request for I Wanna Marry Harry ratings from tonight at 9pm on ITV2, I Wanna See How Much This Bombed!

I can't keep up I thought a big OAP audience was what a high rating drama needed to aim for? Now you say rating too old is bad??

Would like to see Sarah Lancashire tempted back to a comedy role. Shes ratings gold at the moment. But the last I remember is "Bloomin' Marvellous" which was so bad. Think it only managed one series.

Looking at ITV's consolidated figures, and I didn't realise how low Family Matter's at 14:00 had fallen......
19/05 - 547k (10.0%) 20/05 - 450k (7.3%) 21/05 - 397k (8.2%) 22/05 - 425k (6.8%) 23/05 - 532k (8.2%) 26/05 - 334k (3.8%) 27/05 - 500k (6.8%) How has this survived until the end of its run? |
