Suppose the quality of TV drama has peaked and its all downhill from now on, with commercial interests outweighing creative interests?
We've had some great work in the past couple of years but the wheel keeps turning.
Dont know why you would say that. Looking at the programs being made by BBC and ITV at the moment there is lots of quality coming up and maybe some big ratings as well.

That is an impressive cast! Like the look of that.

That's an excellent rating for Celebrity Big Brother. Ahead of Paul O'Grady's Animal Orphans which I'm sure got over 3m last year. Pity more didn't see The Eichmann Show. The night was too crowded for it.

The cynic in me thinks what if SW was shown in August or November? Would it be getting a bumper audience or would it be getting hammered?

I think ITV would probably rather have Broadchurch against Comic Relief Bake Off than against Silent Witness. At least they're aimed at different audiences!
How do you know?

Putting similar programmes against each other can benefit both programmes, there seems to be an assumption Broadchurch is being damaged by Silent Witness rather than people losing interest?

Are people saying if it wasn't beside Silent Witness it would have 12 million viewers, or an additional 2 million viewers?

Didn't Silent Witness launch on a Tuesday but I don't think it had 8-10m viewers as a result but instead had around 6m and has continued with similar figures.

Usually it's the victims on the slab that get hammered?

Will tonight's pet show on BBC 1 'Wild At Heart' do surprising well or will it be a pet show to far?

It would be hammered in November from I'm A Celebrity. The Missing held up well in November.

I think the consolidated rating for episodes 2 and 3 of Broadchurch will show if interest is waning or timeshift is increasing.

Yes. I mean across November The Missing generally held up well. People are coming up with reasons about Silent Witness doing well and missing an obvious one. People just choose to watch it.

Why would it do worse against weaker opposition in August? There is no logic there. Wasn't it you that predicted that Broadchurch would wipe the floor with Silent Witness?

I think it will caught out by the interest in CS.

Well in November/December it would have a 9m rating SCD lead-in it could rate well, IAC only rated around 37% so it did not dominate ratings. There are enough viewers to go around for shows. Viewers will watch crap if its entertaining enough.

SW would have struggled against Season 1 of BC, but Season 2 is easy pickings.....

Wow, impressive to see it rally so strongly for what was essentially a bang average episode.

Friday's eviction should be over 3m.

This is interesting. They're going to reveal a clue about who killed Lucy at The National Television Awards tonight.

But no one knows its an average episode until you watch it.


As for last night. Emmerdale did well to fight off EE to win the battle. Emmerdale is on top form this week so far.

Nothing strange about it at all - revenue from BBC America helps to fund BBC1 and 2,all quite open and above board
I never said it wasnt above board. I said it might lead to compromise,which might explain the direction some series 2 have been going recently,ie Broadchurch/The Fall/Peaky Blinders.....so that they appeal to the American market.

Is there any reason why you don't just cut and paste the Ds soap figures you use as they are reported instead of spinning them. Would it have killed you to post the EE repeat?

Below 6m for the clash is very poor considering it was the trial of Charity/ return of Rachel
Decent repeat figures for both..
