Hope you don't mind me putting the F1 ratings into this roundup DMN. I've given you a credit at the end
![]() Channel 5 20:05: Film: Welcome to the Jungle - 0.672m (2.7%) Caps another distinctly unimpressive week for Channel 5, saved only by a strong Wednesday and an OK Saturday (and OK is good on a Saturday). |

ITV should put Corrie back on Sundays pronto if you ask me.
Palladium was always going to (relatively speaking) flop against the behemoth Strictly. It's been scheduled wrong. |

But it isn't big numbers is it? It is currently lagging behind CtM this year (although what happens with that is anybody's guess), is just a million ahead of Happy Valley and Cilla has nearly reached the figure DA is getting now. It is natural to compare DA with its previous performances and naturally, when you do that, it is not doing very well at all. Only your over-protective, poor little puppy being kicked attitude prevents you from seeing that.

Always knew Downright Shabby would finally lose momentum this year. Did warn its fans months ago.

Scripps has made its biggest UK order to date with a 40-part series for The Food Network. http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/c...078318.article
The lifestyle broadcaster has ordered 40 x 30-minute series The Big Eat from Sweet TV, the indie behind Andy Bates’ Street Feasts and Rachel Allen’s Cake Diaries for Good Food. A number of chefs will attempt to create the ultimate family menu in the show, which will see some of the episodes fronted by Lisa Faulkner and Matt Tebbutt. Throughout the series teens will be taught to cook simple weekday suppers while Jeni Barnett offers Christmas tips, Great British Bake Off winner John Whaite presents classic British food with a twist and Ching-He Huang will reinvigorate oriental food for a new generation. The show will air in November. |

The consolidated ratings will have Downton higher than Cilla and Happy Valley. Its consolidated ratings might be behind Call The Midwife for some episodes which I wouldn't have said a few weeks ago. Midwife might be up slightly next year as it won't be facing Rising Star. But we can't say for certain as ratings hace been so unpredictable recently.

Still rating higher than Our Zoo though!
Even if Our Zoo launched better than it did, no one ever ever expected it to be rating better than DA so your comment is just rather childishly provocative. |

Corrie would flop on Sundays against Strictly. Sunday Night at the Palladium hasn't done too badly against Strictly though - it's where I expected it to be.

Broadcast reports a Ł50M profit swing at Channel 5: Quote:
Channel 5 enjoyed a dramatic change in its fortunes in 2013, making almost Ł50m more than in the previous year.
Full story not available yet. The amount of interest in acquiring the network was not without merit. Probably going to be followed by a disappointing set of 2014 results though with the Omnicom fallout.

Anyone know when BBC1+1 is due to launch?
Getting a bit sick of DS's headlines ignoring +1. |

A busy news day continues: Quote:
In a major coup for UK boxing fans, October 25’s “Title Tornado” tournament in Monte Carlo, jointly headlined by the UK’s Martin Murray in a world title eliminator and Stuart Hall in a world title fight, will be broadcast live on Channel Five in Britain. http://www.boxingscene.com/title-tor...el-5-uk--82902
Working in collaboration with leading promoter Mick Hennessy, and Hennessy Sports’ William Storey, Golden Gloves promoter Rodney Berman has ensured that Murray’s WBC Silver middleweight title defence against Domenico Spada and Hall’s IBF world title fight against undefeated Randy Caballero will be seen by millions of households live on UK terrestrial television. This is a significant milestone for the sport given that the last major world title fight broadcast live on UK terrestrial television was Carl Froch against Jean Pascal for the WBC title in December 2008, also promoted by Mick Hennessy on ITV. |

Our Girl not getting a boost is a shame but it understandably suffers from not sharing the same audience as the rest of the schedule due to the BBC trying to skew younger against Downton.

Good news for Channel 5, They can now have a excuse for showing it at midnight.
Though they always say that don;t they - and I think we can be about 101% sure that if they do that network won't be Channel 5 and won't be picked up again by them here. It apparently ends on a cliffhanger as well - which is going to really annoy viewers as the original show did after many series. Sadly, it had potential but never fulfilled it - hardly surprising given that the woman reviving it - when being asked about continuity issues with the 80s/90s original admitted she has never watched any of the original show. ![]() Hence why Cliff Barnes turned from bitter but misguided good guy who was simply not astute enough to beat JR but often an ally of Bobby into a raving baby murdering psychopath who somehow is now a business genius who runs a global conglomerate. Viewers of a revived show tend to spot such 'minor anomalies' and I would have thought being aware of why the show was such a hit and what your returning characters are like and how they reacted in the past was a little bit of a prerequisite for reviving the show. Otherwise she might as well have just launched a similar one about fracking and called it Houston. |

Every successful single TV show in history has peaked and then eventually fallen.
For Downton to progressively rise over 4 years is an achievement. For it to have done so well that first Christmas, is an achievement. As I said to Samuel, if I throw a ball in the air, I expect gravity to bring it back down eventually All human beings themselves build up, reach a peak of ability and performance, then slowly deteriorate and eventually die. Everything has a shelf life. Nothing rises forever. |

So Downton is absolutely no risk to the BBC at christmas anymore then. Eastenders is not far off that on Friday! They can split Eastenders this year I think and put 1hr of comedy on at 9pm.

Without XF/DA on Autumn Sundays, what else do they have?
This is typical of the over reactions here. I know what is going to happen, Downton Abbey is going to be written off for about the next 5 years, with predictions of its demise, just because it isn't as big as it was. Overlooking that even in this lower state it is still bigger than practically anything else. |

I am incredibly disappointed in the DA figure. Those viewers who watched last year haven't even bothered to return to the opening episode.
Yes its still a big drama, but ITV ave very little in the way of strong drama presently. They don't need the strong ones they have start to weaken. Grantchester needs to be a hit tonight. They rely too much on already made hits. |

Our Girl really is a third rate drama. Aimed at EE Stacey fan club. Makes you wonder about BBC when they have cancelled decent drama to put out this tosh. No doubt fits a demographic so a tick in the box.
Downton looks vulnerable but Our Girl isn't strong enough to take it on. What is that BBC1 has? |

Though, actually, when it was announced a couple of days ago 'Bobby' immediately posted that there is a very good chance another network is going to pick it up over the next couple of weeks.

Otherwise she might as well have just launched a similar one about fracking and called it Houston. All of the changes were a switch off for viewers, Channel 5 will do better repeating the original. Also having a cliffhanger doesn't sound too good either
