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.

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.”

Also some small other corrections, it'll be series six of GBBO not series three, and the Sherlock special isn't confirmed for Christmas, but other than that that's a great list cheers James!
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.

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.

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.
There is only one Big Brother. IAC needs to focus on its own strengths, i.e. Ant & Dec, the location, etc.

I agree. IAC is a different beast to CBB. They should look back to previous series and try and recapture some magic.
I think it was a huge mistake bringing Jake in. I know they had casting problems, but he seems to be so fame hungry, its irritating.
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.

But if he's centre stage now all the other interesting ones have left, where would they be without him?
He might not be well known but these shows need characters more than anything.

God I hope not. His head might explode.
Caught a bit of Watchdog last night. Can see why it's bumbling along with 3m, who decided to try to turn it into a comedy programme?
bring back John and Lynn!
I suspect the BBC are deliberately playing a game though.

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).
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.

Mark Gatiss has written some of the dullest episodes of Doctor Who. Look to Toby Whithouse to be a showrunner.

Is that definitely for next year?
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.

It takes all sorts. Personally, I greatly prefer Mark's episodes to Toby's, whose The God Complex was among the three or four episodes of New Who I have most heartily disliked.
But he did a fine job with Being Human, and I agree that he would naturally be in the frame.

Yes it was so stupid and banal one night I switched it off, it was like something CBBC would do. I much preferred Nicky Campbell staring out some PR man from Peugeot with the notorious car fire problem they denied existed and finally getting him to admit there was a fault. These days they's get the Rogue Traders to dress up as French onion sellers and sing a daft song outside a Peugeot dealers.

Cuffs confuses me. Will it air once a week?
Also where the hell is this mythical pre-watershed police drama for ITV ("The Bill in all but name")? Does it even exist.

Tuesdays after Death in Paradise would be my guess*. Sundays will go to Poldark, Last Tango takes them upto the Baftas so Poldark can start the week after, 15th February.
*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...
When is Call the Midwife expected to return? Would be a good lead in for some of LtiH...
Is the new in the club certainly next year. It might not air to 2016 as it would be quick turnaround other wise.
