All that XF stuff is tabloid crap. The X Factor doesn't need all that rubbish. I suspect most of it is the newspapers just creating more rubbish 'news stories' too fill space.
It thrives on this, which is why it annoys us that don't watch it, because we'll be saturated with the same predictable stories. I remember once saying on DS, that of course Cheryl will be back one day, it's all she has, and it'll all be churned up for publicity. Yet people ridiculed me saying how she'd never lower herself to working with Simon again after she was humiliated in such a way. Always one of them say they'll sink Strictly, always there's rows amongst the judges, and a sacking that probably isn't a sacking. A judge won't be comfortable at auditions. There'll be a prostitute/escort scandal, someone lying about their age and an illegal immigrant/ benefit cheat. All leaked to the Press as big shocks when they probably know about them now. It's much the same for all Reality shows, but X-factor takes the biscuit. |

No, third-highest officially, ignoring the Christmas special. It was lower-rated than two episodes that went out at 19:00 (the series premiere) and 19:05 (the series finale).

Louis Walsh wants to "kill off Strictly Come Dancing which is for old people". Well, the battle is on. He has started an all out ratings war between the BBC and Itv for Saturday Nights this Autumn and I thin the BBC are totally within their rights now to move SCD later and deliberately overlap further into XF to damage XF's ratings. SCD will be the victor, it's a much nicer more family oriented show which appeals to a large number of generations than XF.

Why do the shows have to be scheduled against each other at all ?

What does Capaldi need to beat in order to become the highest debut from the Doctor since 2005?

Sorry - realised you were meaning SCD and X Factor. But still, fairly different audience profiles. |

I think Doctor Who being scheduled later demonstrates that the BBC is super confident about Peter Capaldi as the new Doctor and the brand new series, the most confident they've ever been since the revival in 2005 especially as it looks increasingly likely it will clash with X Factor - BBC don't seem too worried about that.
It never really sat right with me when they scheduled it as early as 6pm... People say about iPlayer and things, but surely if the BBC are really proud about a show they will put it at the centre piece of their schedule. Especially as Doctor Who is seen as one of their biggest ever shows. |

So that the BBC can dent XFs ratings, which will have repurcussions on Itv's ad revenue and lead to less investment in programming from Itv, resulting in bbc's share rising due to weakened competition.

FYI - the only time ITV was the most watched channel yesterday was during the last 30 mins of Tipping Point.
Autumn can't come soon enough The reason I ask is that there's these very interesting pages: http://www.barb.co.uk/whats-new/week...nel-group?_s=4 http://www.barb.co.uk/whats-new/mont...nel-group?_s=4 but no apparent option to view previous weeks/months ![]() Any chance of passing on a request to them?

It is in the interests of both the BBC and ITV for the other to be strong to attract people to TV in general. Neither would work without the other. |

Could we please cut out the X Factor chat, it's tedious. If you're so fascinated by the show then go to the proper forum. ![]() ![]() Quote:
I agree, none of their big hitters( except DA) are new and the soaps, particularly Coronation St, which was once untouchable in the ratings, has fallen below 6 million in the ratings. Should TXF show another drop this autumn and IAC has a threadbare line up, then alaerm bells should be ringing at ITV as this over reliance on dated, low brow shows will have to end.
Everyone said the IAC line-up was crap last year and it hit record numbers. X Factor was down all of 3% last year. Corrie will obviously rebound in the autumn to more than 7m although the trends suggest it will be down year on year. Chances are that itv will do better in the autumn than they have the rest of the year. where they have turned in some dismal performances But DA, IAC and the soaps are coming off hard to beat years and they're missing 8 hours of Doc Martin doing 9m a week. Between Broadchurch, Doc Martin, Lewis and Scott & Bailey, ITV are down around 30 hours of good drama ratings this year that they'll have on hand next year. |

It also helps add credibility to the idea that it isn't just a show for kids. We saw even in this very thread certain folks being insistent that it was a children's drama - thanks in no small part to, for example, the Christmas episode of 2012 being put out at 5:15pm(??!). But you'd be a lot harder pushed to argue that idea with (at least) the first episode finishing after 9pm.

Looking at the soap ratings for DSPRG, the last time EastEnders aired in its regular Tuesday slot and didn't clash with Emmerdale - 24th June. Ridiculous, and they start again in two weeks.

The later time will give the show another million and a half extra viewers.
There's a fantastic new trailer out for ep 1 too. Very pleased how this new series is looking and being placed back at the heart of BBC one, think the "X Factor" will be affected by the stronger competition. Its launch will not be as mighty. |

Well I actually think both thrive on this publicity that's generated by the clash. Also Autumn leading into xmas is perfect timing for these shows.
