ITV are repeating The Chase at 12:30pm next week so we will see how well it does there. If is rates well I wouldn't be surprised to see it stay there.

Not absolutely sure, but I think it did better than that last year. I think a few people might have forgotten what it is.
The Emmerdale share is up again, just like it rose in last year's One Show break. Fake Britain will boost Emmerdale for tonight's clash, and for the 7pm episode on Thursday.

Was about to say the same - infact repeats of dramas on the main channels seem to have had their day ratings wise.

They should leave it at 5pm. They may as well make the most of it while it's popular. It's going to clap out in a few years whether it gets regular breaks or not, so there's no point beggaring about with it.
Few programmes in ITV's weekday daytime rate well, so there's plenty of opportunity to try new things in other slots.
And it's a waste of money not to repeat all the Chase editions at 5pm being as they rate in line with the new editions.

Portillo's train documentaries usually rate better than that. Was it publicised?

Weren't New Tricks repeats usually 2.5 to 3m in the overnights? All crime drama repeats seem to be in the 2m range these days.

What you say about Tipping Point has been said about every daytime quiz put in primetime. Not all can work in primetime, Tipping Point has but its competition has been minimal. But if you told me Ben Shepherd hosting a quiz based on an old arcade game would rate better than a revived Krypton Factor with him, I wouldn't have believed you!
Only 10 editions of The 21st Question? They must be spacing them out as I'm sure they recorded more than ten editions.

No chance. The Chase will always be on opposite Pointless as it does well against it. These repeats are probably filling space until Loose Women returns.

Not unusual they had tipping point repeats in the same slot last year when Gino and Mel finished.
The Chase should still be on somewhere even while this other stuff fills the 17:00 slot, Maybe even 20:00 after the soaps or 22:35 as that slot is not important?

The Chase is on all over the place. It's on tonight at 10.40pm, Thursday 11.40pm, then all next week at lunchtime.
New Tricks is down for Monday 18th but no sign of The Fall. BBC Two have a two part Horizon "Should I Eat Meat?" on Monday and Wednesday that week, could change tomorrow, or The Fall could start the following week instead (taking over from Honourable Woman.)
It was mentioned elsewhere that next week's Radio Times has The Fall listing in it's "Next week" section, which suggests that it will air w/c 16th Aug. And received wisdom then suggests that the only logical (and free) place for it is the Wednesday.

Yes, but there's no sign of The Fall in the digiguide update for that week, instead there's Horizon on both Monday and Wednesday. As I said in my previous post that could change tomorrow though.

Best slot for it.
ITV's Trawlermen's Lives (Wednesday 20th, 8pm) is absolutely not to be confused in any way with BBC One's Heggessey and Fincham era series, Trawlermen.

I suspect that the schedulers are playing with us ... or it's cat & mouse with ITV.
Although Digiguide has been known to be wrong on occasions.
Some good Channel 4 ratings for these...

Scratch that - just checked on the BBC Programme Information - Wed 20th BBC Two now lists Kate Adie's Women Of World War One at 9pm
A thought - would they dare put it out on the Saturday at 9pm? What has Digiguide got there?

Men Who Invented Scotland, at 9.15pm, a three part series with Andrew Marr.
Kate Adie's Women Of World War One airs on Monday 11th, it's only one part so I think that is a mistake in the programme information.

Probably because they know it will get ratings any time of day and its a cheap slot filler.

Brave to schedule this at 9PM. But I don't buy the second episode on the Thursday.
I expect we'll see dramatic changes to C5's schedule in the official version tomorrow as there's no way BB will run beyond August 22. Monday night final again for BB I think (August 18) with CBB launching on Thursday (August 21) or the Friday which looks easier competition wise.

Yes, you can look at Letterman as an example, and that's been on ITV2 and ITV4 which were far higher profile channels than TruTV. You're always going to suffer with US chat shows because by their very nature we'll get them late, and then they also need to be heavily edited to remove all the ad breaks, plus they're stuffed full of US references. Automatically that puts most people off.
I used to subscribe to a newsletter which had the line-ups for all the chat shows and if there was someone interesting on Letterman, Leno or The Daily Show, which circa 2005 were all regularly on British screens, I would watch them, but I wouldn't watch them any other day.
One other problem with the US chat shows in Britain too is the same problem you'd have with a nightly UK chat show. You might be free at 11pm one night to watch it, but the following night you might be watching something else. It's different in America because all the channels show the same shows at the same time every night so you get into the habit of it. Not the case here.

Even so, where and how frequently are these trailers appearing? I've not seen them, and in addition there's no schedule in the Radio Times nor the Guardian Guide (which is surely the kind of audience who'd be interested in Conan) or in any of the papers I've seen. Sure. Conan's been about, but he's not been on any of the big chat shows. Surely they'd expect ratings like CBS Reality and True Entertainment? Which themselves can't be that massive.

Has not had the rights, more like. Blame STV for that. I do find it amusing STV are doing it given they'll be totally screwed after a Yes vote as 99% of their schedule is English.

I would agree with that, you can hardly say ITV are trying to keep it fresh by not putting it at 5pm every day if they're going to put it in every other available slot, with two repeats in twelve hours next Tuesday. Be fascinated to see what kind of audience it gets at 12.30 anyway, it's certainly different to This Morning and that would seem to be a good test of the theory that they could do better if two similar shows weren't next to each other.
Besides, I'm not getting bored of Pointless because when it's repeats I don't watch it. It's easy enough to see in the TV guides and the EPGs when it's a repeat so I haven't watched it since the World Cup and I'm looking forward to the new episodes coming back. Meanwhile if people are happy to watch it every day they can. Everyone wins. And as I've said before, it's not like Deal Or No Deal or The Weakest Link because Pointless and The Chase are stronger formats as the interest is in the quiz, not the execution.
