Guessing over 5m, Arrow launched really well for The CW so no surprise that The Flash debuted well. WB and DC have had done well with Gotham and now The Flash, don't have high hopes for Constantine though.

It's unlikely to happen but I do wonder if CBS would consider a new Star Trek series for The CW? The 50th anniversary is coming up and it would good to see the show return to TV.

I wonder if the launch of Spike will mean changes content wise for both 5* and 5USA? I could see 5* getting the MTV reality shows and American sitcoms while 5USA getting more US drama, the likes of Falling Skies, Walking Dead would be a better fit for either 5USA or Spike.
Arrow I think premiered at a 1.3 demo with 4.14m. The Vampire Diaries S4 opening got a 1.8 demo, and it apparently beat that too.

90210 got a 2.6 demo I think on that day Does this mean The Flash hit a 2.0+ demo?

I really hope they advertised Arrow during the show (they must have), hopefully a nice healthy 1.0+ for Arrow when it returns tonight!

EARLY BREAKING US NEWS:

According to household ratings, The Flash on CW was the highest rated CW show since 90210 on the 2nd September 2008. Holy crap
Bigger than Arrow where it spun off from? WOW!

The Flash is a much bigger name compared to Arrow. WB and DC may be behind Marvel movie wise but they are doing well with television

Perennial BBC-2 ratings topper Dad's Army is to be made into a film starring Bill Nighy (presumably as Captain Mainwaring) and Catherine Zeta Jones (as, er, surely not Mrs Fox?!!)

Production starts this month:

http://deadline.com/2014/10/universa...-jones-847928/
The casting for the Dad's Army movie is inspired!

Toby Jones as Captain Mainwaring, Bill Nighy as Sergeant Wilson, Michael Gambon as Private Godfrey!

It'll be hard to be as good as the original but it has potential if they embrace what made the original work but make it work as a film rather than an extended TV episode like the last Dads Army film.

TV to film adaptations have been a lot more successful in recent years with 21/22 Jump Street and The Equalizer. The Man from UNCLE is coming next year and they've been trying to do a Persuaders films for years

First four episodes of Bake Off...

06/08 - 8.51m [BBC1] + 1.69m [Rpt] + 2.00m [iPlayer] = 12.21 million
13/08 - 8.79m [BBC1] + 1.63m [Rpt] + 1.70m [iPlayer] = 12.12 million
20/08 - 9.28m [BBC1] + 1.44m [Rpt] + 1.40m [iPlayer] = 12.12 million
27/08 - 10.25m [BBC1] + 1.36m [Rpt] + 1.32m [iPlayer] = 12.93 million

Astronomical!

Odd that they do that for X Factor next weekend but not this one.

Just imagine if tonight's Bake Off final gets 12m in consolidated on BBC1 alone. It would need a 10m overnight to have any hope of doing that.

Interesting that Dauman's comments on Big Brother were so off. Maybe it won't be returning to C5 after all.

Sounds like they are still trying to negotiate terms. No official renewal announcement has been made with less than three months remaining until the next series of CBB is due to air.

I imagine they'll want a cheaper price for regular BB, I wouldn't be surprised if they keep CBB but not regular BB

Maybe that is what they want and Endemol are not being very accommodating. After last year's extension to the January series proved successful, you could probably get away with 2 x 5 week runs a year but I wouldn't push it any further than that through fear of compromising on calibre of celebs.

1.8 for The Flash, great rating for the CW!

So the schedule now stands at

The Chase 7pm
The X Factor 8pm
The Jonathon Ross Show 10:20pm

I'm not sure that schedule is that good. I still maintain moving everything forward 30minutes would allow a stronger schedule.

Scorpion start Thursday 23rd October at 9pm leading into Celeb Juice

The MOBO Awards are at 8pm-10pm on Wednesday at 22nd

If a new Star Trek series happens it'll land on CBS or one of the other major networks. Its far too big a property these days. From what I remember the general plan when they did the new films was for a Star Trek series of some description to happen after a trilogy of new Star Trek films so in theory one should be on the horizon.

The problem is, if you check the Star Trek forum out there, that the fans seem to want a post Next Generation set series and not one in the rebooted pre Next Generation universe of the films.

They blame the going backwards for the Enterprise setting as the reason for the show's demise because in Star Trek terms it was like a historical version.

If the fans are not on board then they have to win over a whole new audience and to do that they probably have to set it in the time frame of the movies.

On that forum they have a whole sub section devoted to discussing the various attempts to revive the format and the complex rights (which differ from film to TV) that compromise things.

All sorts of people have pitched ideas for a revival. None have been taken up. But there have been recent rumours of an animated version.

Perhaps Thunderbirds are Go might be watched more closely in certain US TV circles to see if ITV can make it work on network TV.

Given that CBS has aired shows like Under the Dome and Extant plus have upcoming shows like Zoo and Supergirl. It wouldnt be a surprise it it aired on CBS itself since its a major franchise for them although any TV series would probably involve Paramount and perhaps Bad Robot. Come 2016, Star Trek will be everywhere so CBS would want to capitalise on it,

TBH I think catering to the fans is what almost killed off the franchise. The new films aren't perfect but they managed to bring in a new audience to a franchise which likely would have stayed rested.

I think any new Star Trek series needs to closer to the current films and not the past TV shows.

Supernatural does seem to be pulling in a decent audience after all these years, isn't this season supposed to be its last. Considering its the last show from The WB era to still be running, it's done well for itself.
