2.43 million for World War one coverage on BBC TWO at Westminster a 12.6% share
That should really be on BBC One, It was only a one off event to mark WW1.

Long Lost Family tops Monday ratings with 4.3 million

Long Lost Family topped the Monday night ratings outside of soaps, overnight data reveals.

The ITV series brought in 4.33 million (20.3%) at 9pm, with an added 209,000 (1.2%) tuning in on +1. Earlier, Countrywise was seen by 2.70m (13.9%) at 8pm (197k/0.9% on +1).

On BBC One, The Sheriffs Are Coming appealed to 3.14m (18.2%) at 7pm. A repeat of Room 101 entertained 2.36m (11.2%) at 8.30pm, followed by a repeat of Death in Paradise with 2.53m (11.9%) at 9pm.

BBC Two's WWI Remembered from the Battlefield was seen by 1.51m (8.3%) at 7pm, while its coverage from Westminster Abbey climbed to 2.43m (12.6%) at 9pm.

On Channel 4, Dispatches interested 1.63m (8.3%) at 8pm (215k/1.0%), followed by Food Unwrapped with 1.52m (7.2%) at 8.30pm (143k/0.7%). Royal Marines Commando School attracted 1.94m (9.1%) at 9pm (317k/1.8%), and Kitchen Nightmares gathered 770k (4.4%) at 10pm (166k/1.7%).

It ran on for a while which may have interrupted the "BBC News at Ten".

You'd have thought so.


New Tricks would have been on Monday last year had it not been for Doc Martin.
Well, as I pointed out earlier, as far as BBC one goes, the 9pm slots are free on Monday & Friday. And as it would be suicidal to schedule NT or The Fall on a Friday, logically NT would have to end up on the Monday.


So Friday it is then.

Didn't bother them on Closing Ceremony night.

It was only the first night and things might pick up but I'm still mad at how badly Conan did. What on earth is wrong with UK viewers ? They obviously want their digital channels rammed with repeats all day long of the same 2-3 shows.
Not sure anyone is really going to venture out to channel 565 to find it though, at 23:00 at night...

Friday isn't free either, Boomers airs at 9pm, Monday 9pm is the only free slot on BBC One.

The Fall being on Wednesday means my idea about BBC One fitting a drama in between Operation Wild and The Apprentice can't happen, so TA could start on the 27th.

My 'Theory of Broadcast TV' is that most people are primarily looking for a social experience with TV programmes.

That means watching with other people, the other people being the UK population.

So TruTV does not meet the criteria of a 'social meeting place', it's just too niche. Put Conan on ITV2 at 11pm and he's getting 500k I would guess.
I'm not convinced. As someone pointed out upthread, late night US chat shows have been imported in the UK many times and shown on multiple channels, both mainstream and niche, and have always failed to find an audience here.

I suspect that quite a few people, like me, simply do not find them entertaining. I have watched some of them with a mixed US/UK audience and the Yanks have been rolling on the floor while the Brits, uniformly, do not crack a single smile. I love many US films and shows, and am personally pro-American, but the humour of these shows does not translate well in the UK - Saturday Night Live is, and always has been, a complete laugh-free zone for me whenever I've watched it and Letterman etc are simply not funny to many Brits.

Surely the Freeview slot is key though. Especially given UKTV's Drama is apparently doing so much better on Freeview than it is on Sky, albeit from a good EPG position on Freeview which TruTV lacks. In the trailers the fact that it's a new "free-to-air" channel is heavily pushed.

The only reason I know that this channel is on Freeview, is from DS threads, but I just can't be bothered to re-tune my box, yet again.

Not free on Friday, Boomers is on at 9pm from a week on Friday for 6 weeks as is repeats of the last series of Outnumbered..

Anything for the first of Michael Portillo's WW1 railway programmes (BBC Two, 18:00)?

The rating for STV's independence debate tonight should be interesting. It replaces the ITV Flop Zone north of the border (20:00-22:00).

Channel 5 need to check their grammar. Dangerous-Dog-Owning and Proud, it should be.

Rated well didn't it? About 300,000 more than I was expecting in all honesty.

Five's strong factual run continues.

BBC Breakfast had a pundit from YouGov this morning who suggested the audience for the STV debate would be quite low because it's the Scottish holidays and not the sort of thing to grab an ITV audience during peak time. Pity BBC News channel has not had the wit to simulcast it for expatriate Scots.

Do you know BB's actual rating with +1? Bothersbar are reporting 1.24m but DS is reporting 1.19m excl +1, surely it would have added more than 50k on timeshift?

Ch5 documentaries still going very strong.

It was not quite that simple though. NT started on 30thJuly and DM not until first week in September so BBC could easily have started on Mondays and left it to ITV to decide if they wanted a clash.

No, nothing.

In America, Viacom has just announced a TV adaptation of School of Rock for Nick:

The Bothers Bar source gets full-slot ratings and BB finished at 22:57, so that probably explains it.

Yes, Channel 5 seems to be matching or surpassing Channel 4 more often now. If I recall correctly they seemed to do the same last summer.

Why are you so annoyed at the BBC?

No other "PSB channel" bothered to cover it at all.

.
800,000 / 6%.

Thought it would do better than that.

Death In Paradise is really turning into another New Tricks for BBC1. Decent repeat numbers last night with 2.5m.
I wouldn't go that far. 2.5m isn't much to shout about when New Tricks often repeated over 3.5m. Only recently has it started to drop.

From Bothersbar:

Pointless 2.64m (23.5%)
The 21st Question 1.96m (18.4%)
Tipping Point 1.61m (25.8%)
Big Brother 1.24m (7.0%)
Couples Come Dine With Me 0.85m (7.9%)
Perfection 0.77m (13.3%)
BBBOTS 0.56m (5.8%)
Deal or No Deal 0.39m (5.7%)
Countdown 0.34m (5.6%)
Win It Cook It 0.32m (4.0%)

All including HD and +1 where appropriate

That's a pretty damn good share for Tipping Point. However well it does at 4pm its not quite 7pm material. Fair enough commission a series with celebs but have for the early evening around 6pm on weekends.


The 21st Question did fairly well, but it will drop. Thankfully its on on for 10 days. The next gameshow to fill his slot is 'Gift Wrapped' hosted by Ruth Langsford and Eamon Holmes.
