That is a fabulous list, Yorkie, thank you and the BBC should be very proud of it. Lots worth watching there. Reverting to James J's original post, I'm not sure at all we should assume that Doctor Who Series 9 will start in August - if Atlantis continues to tank in the ratings, that might not see a third season and DW would presumably then start when Merlin/Atlantis used to - ie in October when SCD starts.
That would also give the DW production team the breathing space they may well need - next year Steven Moffat will overtake Russell T Davies on the number of episodes he has produced, this year's Christmas special from him is called "Last Christmas", and the end of next year may see Sherlock series 4 in full production. That all adds up, IMHO, to a man who is getting ready to leave DW, as he has been hinting ever more clearly. ![]() With regards Moffat on DW hopefully if he was to bow out he'd hand the reigns over to Mark Gatiss. Although obviously that would depend on whether Mark wants them and I don't believe he's ever publicly commented. |

Nothing looks good out of last night's figures except maybe Big Bang Theory. I'm A Celebrity should be claiming 8m viewers considering the opposition.
Someone needs to erupt and cause an argument. |

Its lost its spark a bit with this cast. Jimmy out has been a very unfortunate move. Now all the focus seems to be on Jake which is boring.
Someone needs to erupt and cause an argument. There is only one Big Brother. IAC needs to focus on its own strengths, i.e. Ant & Dec, the location, etc. |

Might help as well if they developed some ideas of their own, and not try to copy Big Brother as much as they have this series.

Jake should have never gone in. He's not well known enough. Fair enough someone from x factor from its height who is popular but having him was pure desperation.

He might not be well known but these shows need characters more than anything. |

I'm sorry but The BBC got a crappy licence fee deal, they essentially have less money and now they have to still produce new content for 365 days of the year!

Although obviously that would depend on whether Mark wants them and I don't believe he's ever publicly commented. The only problem, of course, is that Mark will be just as tied up as the Moff at the end of next year/early 2015 on Sherlock. But perhaps they can find a way round that - hopefully not though, as when the last showrunner change occurred, by having a year with a handful of specials instead of a full season. |

I entirely agree with you on that. He would be a great choice, and clearly Moffat rates him very highly (just as RTD did Moffat in turn, and I suspect once again the outgoing showrunner will have a big say in his successor).

Thursday 27th November 2014 - Consolidated Ratings
I'm a Celebrity - 10.26m (9.57m excl. +1) Life Story - 3.31m The Big Bang Theory - 2.61m (2.21m excl. +1) Life Story ends with a series average of 4.07m (15.8%). However, repeats on Sunday bring in a further 2.49m (14.2%), so this could be a case of some of Thursday's timeshifters being thrown in with Sunday's officials. Either way, I think we can agree that its overnights have been disappointing, considering the opposition before I'm a Celebrity began. |

Mark Gatiss has written some of the dullest episodes of Doctor Who. Look to Toby Whithouse to be a showrunner.
But he did a fine job with Being Human, and I agree that he would naturally be in the frame. |

bring back John and Lynn! I suspect the BBC are deliberately playing a game though. |

Has the Syndicate been confirmed for March? Will there be any slot for it there. They might
Last Tango series 3 returns on the 28th December and it continues on from there. I wonder if the BBC will start GBBO in September next year as Waterloo road will be finished by then. Starting in September would improve it's ratings even further. I can see Cuffs being in that slot through. |

Also where the hell is this mythical pre-watershed police drama for ITV ("The Bill in all but name")? Does it even exist. |

I can see Cuffs being in that slot through. *Looking at the dramas that should definitely air next year, I can see The Syndicate and Ordinary Lies taking the Tuesday slot in the first half of the year, Luther over summer (and maybe Doctor Foster, but no casting has been announced for that yet), and In The Club, One of Us and Happy Valley in the second half of the year. As for Cuffs/GBBO, I'd rather them keep GBBO starting where it is, maybe a week or two later, it does well there and that way leaves the cushier Autumn/Winter slots for Cuffs which they'll want to do well. |

Can we assume that Last Tango in Halifax episodes 3-6 (or possibly 2-6) will clash with Mr Selfridge?
When is Call the Midwife expected to return? Would be a good lead in for some of LtiH... |
