The One Show must have been low as well before Inside Out. That or 2 million turned off before Inside Out. BTW, Inside Out was good last night

EE ran to time last Monday so I don't think that will see a tape-checking boost. 2nd Corrie definitely should though.

4.18m/20% full-slot for TOS as per ITVM; usually it increases slightly when tape-checked on a Monday.

Plenty of articles out there slating PC he almost single handedly ripped the heart out of the show.

Worst possible rating for Eastenders. Emmerdale beating it on Monday makes it look even worse.

Dan2008 will probably be on here soon using the half term excuse.

Inside Out normally gets over 3 million but maybe Afghanistan was a switch-off for viewers (we have had a lot about it recently). Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland show their own programmes which are usually non-news.

Just putting in my prediction for Christmas (maybe too good to be the real thing)

I really like this schedule. I would just cut SCD back to an hour and have Brave as the film. I think they'll put Doctor who back to 5 ish like 2012.

Thanks .

I was thinking of putting Brave as the animated film of the day but I just don't feel it is a big enough film and does not have that 'popular' aspect to it that other films such as Shrek or Toy Story has. Saying that, it being set within the united kingdom (Scotland) may be enough of a reason for the BBC to stick it on Christmas Day. IMO, it will not rate too well though - 3.5m-4.5m?

Looks like Broadchurch 2 will launch in January. Sunday or Monday?

I can see that awful Geordie Shore is back tonight.

TOS tonight is at 2130 in Scotland

Why wouldn't they air it on Monday again?

I think they probably will and it is probably where it'd do best. I guess the logic of airing it on Sunday is that their Sunday Q1 schedule is pretty barren and this could make them very competitive at 9pm at least, whilst the cushier Monday slot could then be used for new dramas.

That could risk lower ratings for Broadchurch though and it might look very out of place leading out of Get Your Act Together or whatever they opt for. Plus it leaves Mr Selfridge without a slot.

Any figures for GMB as we are now into half-term ?

Monday 20th October 2014 - Consolidated, inc +1
Grantchester - 6.23m (21.3%)
New Tricks - 5.75m (20.1%)
Gotham - 3.05m (10.4%)
Loose Women - 1.32m (18.4%)
- first episode following the death of Lynda Bellingham

Reading that Attentional didn't tape-check yesterday's ITV soaps. Assuming the timings were the same as last Monday, then, and this includes +1...

19:00 to 19:25 - Emmerdale: 6.87m (33.5%)
* peak: 7.22m (34.6%)
19:30 to 20:00 - Coronation Street: 8.19m (38.6%)
* peak: 8.87m (40.8%)
20:30 to 20:55 - Coronation Street: 8.45m (36.8%)
* peak: 8.75m (37.7%)

I bet you £1 that Puss in Boots is BBC1's Christmas afternoon movie. Madagascar 3 or Brave are just not big enough. Puss in Boots keeps the Shrek theme going.

Happy about the Gotham ratings.

Thanks Dave.

Insane timeshift for Gotham once again, more than doubling its overnight !

The FA Cup Draw: 1.34m (6.6%)

I'm wondering if Broadchurch 2 will be any good, it's got a lot to live up to.

Indeed it does. Have ITV acquired the rights to show Gracepoint? Even though it seems it is a disaster in the States.

Sorry what is The Boy In The Dress? If it's another David Walliams tragedy then I'm inclined to think they won't show it on Christmas Day. Gangsta Granny didn't really do well enough last year to merit this year's version being given a slot on the big day. But I suppose it's a possibility..

Brave had a cinema running length of 93 minutes, with the difference in frame rates when transferred to TV would it fit into an 85 minute slot? If not then shift everything back by 10 minutes and knock 10 minutes off Strictly. Perhaps if AlexiR is right in that McIntyre only got the Xmas Day slot last time due to sparsity of options then they could stick a late film in instead? Can't see SOAH being shifted from Boxing Day where it did so damned well last year.

Something like this:



Or maybe, given Holby City was allowed to go on Christmas Eve last year "because it was a Tuesday", they'll do something radical like this:



Less than a month to go

So "Gotham" shed around 8k viewers in a week and 3% down on its audience share. Wonder if it will continue its decline week on week or hold up with time shifting.

It would be good to get the correct facts on this. It actually fell 750k.

But no doubt 3.05M for ep2 is an excellent result. An awful lot of wriggle room from there and already signs in the overnights that it could be stabilising.

Really pleased as it's highly watchable.

Thanks Steve, very informative. Had no idea it was the 1000th Grandstand that day. I have a (scary) photo of the set that the Beeb gave me afterwards. Had no clue then, of course, it would be the first of many TV appearances. So I kept it assuming it might be my one and only.

That Genome thing is certainly very entertaining.
