1.7m down on 12 months ago? Ouch!
SITE heavily promoted..no megastar new coach or controversial promo that both drew in the audience last year...returning shows generally being down since this time last last year...a 1.7m decline would make this thread worth steering clear of for about a month but I see no reason to expect better. I'd be delighted with over 7m and 7.7m+ (i.e. more than Broadchurch???!) would make my year so far.

Did/have you watched Broadchurch?
No idea what's that to do with my post you quoted 😊 but I did indeed watch it and I enjoyed it. Though sadly next week I will be watching SW and recording BC.

Reasonable for Corrie and it appears (as usual) the holiday period has ended and EE has lost it's usual Christmas/New Year momentum. Emmerdale recorded it's second best rating of the week (just behind Monday's) episode which is quite surprising.

Benidorm did OK. I think it settled around this level last series too - although how it will cope next week with the Garvey family missing is anyone's guess.

Everyone mentioning Splash which collapsed towards the end but was 5-6m for its first series. SITE might not make that.
BBC One's opposition was the dire Richard Hammond's Secret Service, so even if ITV put on Nightscreen, it would do better than that disaster. Splash was a so so show you'd watch as the alternative was so bad, but once it faced TV it fell to 3 million. SITE at least was a successful brand for most of its life and could pull in 4-5 million, which is enough to damage TV. Also should it keep up this rating, then I would think a summer run would be a good idea.

In respect of consolidated figures-did we ever get New Years Eve finals? (Especially the concert and fireworks)
D.M.N. reported the fireworks: 12.50m officially. rzt in his spreadsheet gave Mapp and Lucia's finale rating as 2.95m officially.

Its got nothing to do with the post I quoted I just used it to ask you a question. I just asked because i was interested to see if you saw it and you usually write on here when you enjoy a drama. That is all.

Why sadly? Surely that's your choice. If its that sad record SW and watch BC?

CBB has been pushed back to 10pm tonight due to an explosive event and exit. No one knows what happens, but the assumption is that Jeremy has had a breakdown and exited the house.

Thanks for those figures Neil - not bad for Stars In Their Eyes but not great either since it was 10 years ago and those are consolidated. You can see why it was taken off especially since Dancing on Ice would arrive the following year.

This new version might not be far off the old version in the officials. Let's see though - I think it will settle around 4-4.5m and would that be bad really against The Voice?

It's sadly beacuse I would like to watch both live, but obviously this now won't be a choice. In terms of BC though I can't really comment on series one as I only watched the last episode. You could say I was taken in by the big fuss over it. Anyways short story short, I enjoyed it enough to want to watch the second series.

Not sure I like the sound of that. It must be bad if it forced a schedule change - especially when they were so keen initially to keep it at 9pm this series. I hope it's nothing Ofcom worthy, that's the last thing the show needs.

Also bad to lose anybody this early. After a promising start, are things falling apart as happened with the last series of I'm A Celeb?

Broadly agree on TVUK but I could see SITE doing a good deal more than that.

One of the housemates has been removed from the house apparently.

Casualty getting 9m+ just 10 years ago? How the mighty fall!
To be fair any show that has been on that long you could say the same about.

I think I'm right in saying repeats from way back were amongst Challenge TV's most watched programmes over the Christmas period. Could be a good sign that the appetite is there for its return.

Thanks.

EDIT: The reported overnight was 12.32 million iirc-I know there are some addings and takings away but that's not much of a timeshift.

Here are those Challenge ratings. A number of episodes were screened back-to-back on the evening of December 27, to above average viewing figures for the channel:

Code:
1	STARS IN THEIR EYES (SAT 1930)	174,000
3	STARS IN THEIR EYES (SAT 2000)	159,000
5	STARS IN THEIR EYES (SAT 1901)	153,000
7	STARS IN THEIR EYES (SAT 2030)	133,000
...  +1 STARS IN THEIR EYES (SAT 2130)	38,000

However, the finale of Doctor Who 'only' rated at 0.4 overnight for the channel (65th in the daily chart) on Saturday 8 November 2014. It was seen by 1.10m total viewers. (Source)

So it's hard to tell really from the patchy US figures we have. BBC America re-ordered it before the first season went to air, but then they are co-producing it (along with BBC Worldwide and BBC in-house). The second season premieres Stateside next Saturday.

Those 10 year ago ratings look very good for a few shows, especially SITE, but then again, would just under 6m be considered good back then? It was probably a few million below average in 2005.

Look at Casualty, a monster! Just under 3m ahead of the next highest!
And it made the 9pm Saturday slot a plum one for new drama because of the lead in. I doubt the dodgy Sea of Souls would have been getting c6m a week without a 9m leaf in.

Now its Casualty itself which generally gets the 9pm slot

Check again.

We've just freed up another 144 pages.
Thanks for this. The search facility also seems to be working now which is good.

Is 4-5m enough to damage TVUK though? It held up against Takeaway getting 7m+ I seem to remember. Of course everyone is expecting TVUK to be down though.

Maybe, I'd like to be wrong as it'd be good for ITV to be more competitive on weekends away from Cowell. if it wasn't airing against The Voice I think it'd be good for 6m+, but there's a limited audience available.
