ITV will breathe a huge sigh of relief.

Good for Strictly, what I expected given that the results are usually slightly down on the main show. X Factor still has an audience on Sundays, doesn't mean we can ignore its Saturday rating but does give ITV a bit of good news.
As for Downton, Fellowes has been phoning it in for series now, after he managed to get away with the truly awful second series he realised viewers would watch anything. No effort goes into writing it at all and its looks like viewers are finally realising it, even I've stopped watching and I vowed to watch until Michelle Dockery realised she could do better. I like that other dramas being down = viewers not wanting to watch, but Downton being down = there must be something up with Barb. A drama in its fifth series losing viewers isn't really a sign that there's something up with the system, there's quite a few signs there's something wrong but that's not one of them. |

I am shocked at that Downton rating. That is almost down 2m viewers YOY. I don;t understand it, why would they just disappear?

Last year X Factor and Strictly clashed. X factor ran from 7.15 to 9pm last year. So is probably significantly down year on year between 8 and 9pm.

Welcome to the party H.
![]() Its these sort of wild changes to ratings that I have queried over the years and therefore did not exactly trust in BARB. If you look at yearly figures you may notice that Sunday TXF is regularly stronger than the Saturday broadcast. People go out on a Saturday evening, on a Sunday less so. |

So The X Factor bounces back after the ridiculously OTT posts yesterday. So the judges houses format is not to blame.
The focus will inevitably switch towards Downton as today's ITV crisis topic. |

I always find it odd that more people watch the Sunday X Factor than the Saturday one, why would you care who went out if you hadn't seen them perform?

Well said! People are bored with it. I think we'd need to see next week's rating to determine if its in a crisis or not.

Year on year between 8-9pm they are almost certainly down on the last Gary Borelow series. Hardly the return to form Fincham was predicting in August. Also last night is down on last Sunday, hardly a great sign. If yesterday's 'in crisis' posts were exaggerated then todays recovery posts are just as bad. |

Lets also remember that even if these shows are all down yoy they will still be some of the biggest raters of the year.

Will they? The year on year average is slightly boosted by the shorter slot (8pm-9pm v 7.15 -9pm last year) and no clash with the SCD results this year.

X Factor swinging up and down violently like a yo-yo. It wasn't doing this a couple of years ago, so there is a problem. I think things will become clearer when the live shows begin. But for the moment it's pointless focussing too much on either the worst or the best ratings it is producing, however convenient that might be. On average it is currently down on the Barlow era and that has to be a worry.
Pretty poor relatively speaking for Downton Abbey but it only fills an hour and at least is a strong seller aboard. TXF is the one that will be keeping ITV execs awake at night, let's be absolutely clear about that. |

The trend of rating goes down = crisis for ITV needs to be halted on here. You can't expect ratings to keep rising indefinitely when the trend of people watching live TV is going in the opposite direction. DA is massively successful abroad so ITV won't be too concerned just yet. Even of interest waned, surely that is inevitable at some point.

Isn't the peak always reported?
Just quoting the peak is indication that perhaps ratings were not as good as expected. |
