Omg at the consolidated rating of "The Great British Bake Off".
Will it be beaten, stirred or shaken from that figure by " I'm A Celebrity " on ITV. Plus surely the I player figures are huge! And the Sunday repeats. How does BARB take account of us viewers who only watch online?? |

I wonder if Channel 5 will decide to start producing its own UK drama if the acquisitions are just as expensive and they have more financial support.

I thought I read somewhere that they had ruled that out or am I thinking of something else?
But since then Viacom's CEO has given interviews whereby he has suggested that more British drama is on the agenda. |

Well in Australia Wentworth airs on a cable channel so I would assume the rights are next to nothing. I doubt they pay as much for Wentworth as the did Dallas.
They do however need to be cleverer about the scheduling and the promotional campaign next year. |

Hmm. Why do I have a bad feeling about this?
Some things should just be left alone. HP had a good run. Only reason to continue is to make more money, not for storytelling reasons. Quote:
Always likely I thought - does that mean 3 more books? If not it does smack of milking the franchise as you say.
It's been in the works for quite a while. Edit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantast...ilm_adaptation |

It's not a continuation of Harry Potter or even a prequel. JK Rowling is writing a the screenplay for 'Fantastic Beasts and where to find them'. A planned trilogy for Warner Bros. It's based on a textbook often mentioned in the Harry Potter books. It set in New York 100 years before Harry Potter was even born iirc.
Just makes me more uncomfortable about the idea. |

Okay, I've been meaning to post this for a while but here are the top 20 most watched shows of the decade. Re the football ratings and the wedding I've used match averages/ceremony averages as I feel it gives a bigger indication as to how many people watched. Wimbledon is tricky as I can't find a match average and it wouldn't have been much bigger than the figure available. Obviously people will have their own charts but nonetheless its still interesting to see the successful programmes of the 2010's

Yes, it won't be costing them an arm and a leg. They will definitely buy the third season IMO - unless something drastic happens between now and the end of this season ratings wise, but I don't expect it will fall much further.
They do however need to be cleverer about the scheduling and the promotional campaign next year. |

There is load of other Viacom sister channels to promote it on.
Gotham + Wentworth + Britain's Bloodiest Dynasty: The Plantagenets + Can't Pay? We'll Take it Away! + Alex Polizzi's Secret Italy + Inside Holloway + Rome: World's First Superpower + Sunday Movies. It's not a bad slate for the the second half of autumn. |

I'd quite like to see a general C5 promo showcasing the best of the channel's output at the moment across the Viacom channels and select spots on ITV/C4 as well.

Yes, really. The factual in particular is a cut above C5's usual fare. I suppose if I'm being picky they could be stronger at 8pm than is the case at the moment (tonight's Benefits, Babies and Jail being a new low, a repackaged repeat of one episode of Benefits Britain: Life on the Dole shown earlier in the year) but overall I think that's a very strong lineup of programmes for C5 at this time of year. You could certainly make an eyecatching promo out of it, anyway.
if gotham can hold / grow it's audience then it can be an anchor to usher in the post N&S era. |

I don't usually watch US imports but Gotham has got me hooked. I can't wait for the next episode.

A good couple of days for The Apprentice with both nights topping 6 million. That's certainly better than I'd expected. It'll be interesting to see how it holds up across the run this year. Quote:
He's an excellent choice. Just surprised he wasn't asked sooner.
Quote:
J K Rowling has confirmed there will be 3 new Harry Potter films that will pre-date the time before HP. Release dates 2016, 2018 and 2020.
ITV will undoubtedly be keeping hold of the HP rights for a while longer with this news. Can't wait. Quote:

But since then Viacom's CEO has given interviews whereby he has suggested that more British drama is on the agenda. With that said on the comedy front I do wonder if maybe Channel 5 should look at developing some kind of UK version of The Daily Show. That's the kind of show that could sit well across Viacom's portfolio of UK channels as well giving it some extra exposure. That would also give them a quick hit of original comedy to test the waters. Quote:

The Warner Bros. slate in general is pretty huge for the next couple of years. They announced a whole new string of DC movies yesterday as well including two Justice League films and Wonder Woman's first big screen outing. Be interesting to see where all of that lands in the years to come.
Presumably Viacom will also have a greater focus on shows they can sell internationally as well which would mean longer runs for original content as well which I'd suggest is only a good thing. With that said on the comedy front I do wonder if maybe Channel 5 should look at developing some kind of UK version of The Daily Show. That's the kind of show that could sit well across Viacom's portfolio of UK channels as well giving it some extra exposure. That would also give them a quick hit of original comedy to test the waters. A daily chatshow is tricky to pull off, it works for daytime but for some reason, it's not been successful in this country in primetime or latenight aside from Graham Norton and even he gave it up once he moved to the BBC. I think 5 will more likely and commission comedy panel shows or formats before going onto sitcoms and sketch shows |
