I of course only watch it for the intellectual stimulation.

Mrs Browns Christmas Special 2014 was it lowest rated special since its first in 2011.”

Which does seem improbable doesn't it?

Alternatively if you include the quick repeat and iplayer requests, this year's got 15.9m.

Times, they are a'changing....

iPlayer requests are useless though Robbie, because they aren't averages and we don't know how many are unique. You stick it on for 30 seconds, realise it's not the programme you wanted and bingo that's a request.

15.9m? Dream on mate.

Only Connect did very well.

It was a great period, that, when Light Lunch finished you had Wogan's Web for a few weeks. Heaven knows how today's students cope, no grants, no jobs at the end of it and nothing on the telly during the day.”

Sounds odd.

Light Lunch was brilliant. At the time it was a bit quirky and out there, but worth watching.

Jonathan Ross, Paul O'Grady and CBB's Michelle Visage for RuPaul's Drag Race UK?

http://attitude.co.uk/ruapauls-drag-...ter-this-year/

Is Ross not on a golden handcuffs deal with ITV then?

I don't think he is, he was on Channel 4 over Christmas on the Big Fat quiz of the Year and he was on a 15-1 special too.(I think that was Christmas

) And he does the Comedy Awards too.

Oh yeah, forgot about the Comedy Awards.

He's not denying it on Twitter anyway.

I guess they're ignoring the overnight figure for episode 2.

It's highest rating before was a the finale with 10.47m including +1. So this is bigger. Sherlock sized timeshifts.

Well they probably realise that it'll consolidate massively and they'll still end up with a great rating, so I doubt they're too bothered.

Did the Scotch egg and KitKat get included in the supposed viewing figure?

Be interested to see how they got to 10.9m!

Or ITV repeat channel sized timeshifts.

Sherlock gets his (far bigger) audience without a repeat being included....

WOAH!

We would need confirmation from ronant but if that's excluding ITV Player then that's a superb timeshift.

His ITV contract is non exclusive but TBH his BBC contract was non exclusive as well since he did the BCA when it was on ITV and Big Fat Quiz for Channel 4. I think he was developing RuPaul's Drag Race for ITV but I wonder if Channel 5 due to their Viacom connections as Logo in the US is owned by Viacom, have taken over development. Getting Ross and Paul O'Grady would be quite big signings for them.

Would ITV have a slot for it this autumn anyway what with the rugby?

Not sure about the format as I haven't seen any of the US version. But in terms of talent involved if this all gets confirmed then obviously a big commission for C5.

I guess Viacom will see it as something that can be played on their channels around the world as well, particularly given Visage has been linked to it.

The One Show might even have been slightly higher than 4.66m after tape-checking - DMN do you have that please?

Wooo Hoooo! Could be a real hit for C5 and it fits nicely with the new brand they seem to be building. It's a bit of coup getting Ru and Michelle to do it because I can't imagine it without them and snatching Paul and Jonathan adds mainstream appeal- I wonder if they'll air the upcoming US version over the summer on 5* or something as a warm up being as Viacom own it?

True in some aspects but ITV's numbers are also depressed due to commercials. I think Neil next week will have some idea about actual timeshift.

It's a very impressive number. Already one of the big drama ratings of the year.

I imagine it does get picked up, I could see it airing on Friday nights, scheduling it against Strictly and X Factor would be a bad idea.

I think some people do it just to make thier fave show higher. People do it to eastenders aswell even though its on another channel. Ive seen people say theyve watched one and watched the repeat again
