Even so Tipping Point works very well at 4pm and boosts The Chase.
The Ratings Thread (Part 62)
592 of 792
Earlier on BBC Two, MasterChef: The Professionals continued with 3.10m (14.4%) at 8pm, followed by Secrets of the Castle with 1.64m (7.3%) at 9pm.
On ITV, Surprise, Surprise entertained 3.05m (14.1%) at 8pm (173k/0.8% on +1), while documentary Hit & Run interested 1.76m (7.8%) at 9pm (196k/1.2%).
Looks like the relative boost SS got from being a returning brand has worn off. Its now past its sell by date and should be axed along with All Star Mr And Mrs.
ITv was beaten by BBC2 at 8pm ad almost again at 9pm.

I imagine it will be a rpt run, but I agree its silly to move what works well at 4pm. They'll probably end up finding the viewers who watch M&S will not watch The Chase, therefore giving it a weaker lead in than TP might have done.
So The Voice UK starts 10th January at 7pm against Stars In Their Eyes at 7pm-8pm.
I can see why ITV are filming SITE close to transmission, as it allows them to improve anything as they g along according to viewer response.

It's a strong line-up for ITV. I expect it to do well although Judge Rinder will have three weeks of Father Brown to deal with.
I have a question for you H. How long is this series of Take Me Out?

Masterchef just ahead of Surprise Surprise excluding +1. Well Surprise Surprise has certainly fallen back.

I know Thunderbirds are Go! is going to air on Go! down under, other than that I dont know.
Still its something to look foward to on ITV, which is a rare event, anyone any idea when it airs?

The press release says that it will be Spring, so I would imagine Easter Weekend to maximise the number of viewers who will then hopefully continue to stay with it. The nostalgia factor will help, but then if you don't watch ITV then you will not know about it. They will need to do some serious publicity.
Is Thunderbirds definitely airing on the main ITV channel or is it just going to be on CITV?
I agree the line-up is strong but I do think that Mel & Sue should be at 3pm with Tipping Point at 4pm.
Take Me Out is 10 episodes.

Tipping Point is a new series, someone I know is going to be in an episode which is scheduled to TX in January.

I thought Thunderbirds would be on CITV as well as getting an ITV broadcast. Unless plans have changed?

Tipping Point works so well at 4pm. Moving a ratings banker earlier to get less ratings seems odd to me. Also ITV are keeping Take Me Out well away from Autumn now. It is a success based on timeslot rather than viewer loyalty.
Would something like the The Chase be at the 20:00 slot on ITV when the soap ratings go into decline even more and move to daytime?
The TP move is daft. A lot of people I know watch both the quizzes together and wont be there at 3pm.

Curious. They probably want to give Mel and Sue the better slot, but arguably 3pm is where people expect to find chat on ITV, with quizzes from 4pm. When are these schedules confirmed?

They would be mad not to premiere it on ITV. It says in the press release that 'Thunderbirds Are Go' will premiere on ITV and CITV is Spring 2015.
This follows the news that ITV Studios Global Entertainment has pre-sold the series to international broadcasters including TVNZ in New Zealand, Australia’s Nine Network, Noga in Israel and pan-Arab broadcaster MBC.
Steve Green, EVP, Kids’ Content and Distribution at ITV Studios Global Entertainment, said: “The unique mix of CGI animation and incredible model sets gives each episode of Thunderbirds Are Go a theatrical feel rarely seen in children’s TV that has generated huge interest globally. Having 52 episodes of this quality takes our discussions to a new level.”
I imagine this above has fueled their interest in a further commission.
And the way they have stated 'premiere on ITV and CITV' suggests it will be a simulcast.

So what slot are we expecting for Thunderbirds and what ratings are we thinking?

I don't think thats going to be pretty reading for Stars imo, The Voice may not be the powerhouse that competed with BGT anymore, but launching against an established hit in its highest phase is not going to help- Also, singing show overload!

Knowing ITV they'll probably schedule it at 7.30am on Saturday mornings.

Surely that would be the BBC who would do that !!!

Its likely to get a "Doctor Who" type position I think. It also had a launch in early spring in 2005, so ITV may try and replicate its successful launch. The 7pm hour may be free in the spring as prelude to "Britain's Got Talent". I think it could well be successful with a new age of children.
And on " Doctor Who " More speculation on whether Jenna Coleman is in fact staying or going now the title of the first episode from series nine has been given out by Moffat I see!

You wait ages for Skyfall then two showings come along on in quick succession.
I wonder when The Dark Knight will be popping up again? The following Saturday?
EDIT: That's an awful slot for Take Me Out. They could at least line it up to start alongside Win Your Wish List rather than midway through The Voice. Where's You've Been Framed when it's actually needed?!

The presence of Harry Hill leads me to believe that Stars In Their Eyes is not going to be anything like The Voice, or indeed the original Stars In Their Eyes. I think it's going to be very silly and played totally for laughs.

Presumably not the old Scottish TV quiz from the early eighties. But what is it?

I'd be almost certain that there will be a new companion in 9.1, regardless of whether JC stays or goes.
