Just seen that BBC Two have two film premieres on Sunday 25th, Real Steel at 6pm and Shadow Dancer at 10pm, neither will probably do that well but along with Top Gear and Dragons' Den that's a strong schedule for them. In fact, the schedules for most of month have looked pretty strong, I think this could be a very good year for them.
I was a little worried when Janice Hadlow left, but Kim Shillinglaw has proved to be great replacement so far, with a lot of great sounding drama and factual coming up as well.

A very strong BBC1 in Primetime with TOS doing well, EE with BBC3 at eight million, and that's before people viewing on IPlayer, ITV are terrible in peak time and any ITV enduced clash with Emerdale and EE will seriously hurt Emerdale.
Holby getting over five million, often a target here for negative comments but getting the viewers thro ugh the turnstiles there.
GMB still lagging BBC breakfast 3:1, even at a time where news interest is very high.
Silent Witness is such a star coming close to Broadchurch neck and neck Monday and I assume viewers used catch up before so they could watch the second one at 9 pm.
BBC1 at 16.30 beats most of ITV Primetime except Emerdale!
I had an email from overnights.tv saying that reach figures are now included in the overnight figures. Has anyone seen these?

One of the best things Kim Shillinglaw did was for the bits between the programmes. She brought back the old BBC2 idents from the nineties.

Off topic but how long are these wintry looking animated BBC1 idents continuing for? Unlike with Love 2012/13/14, these look a bit more of a step change and whilst the bicycles and kites are still being used before the news, I think viewers will be a bit puzzled if the old ones return full time in February.
Anyone know?

I got this as well.
It's not just the Sun attacking Broadchurch (Boredchurch).
The Daily Mail has a piece today on page 6 headed: 'They've turned Broadchurch into a fancy East Enders say viewers'. They quote viewers calling it 'unrealistic' and 'like a bloody shoddy daytime soap opera'.
I actually had no issue with the second episode. Yes, it was melodrama, but enjoyable to watch and still full of intrigue.
Of course, there is zero mention in the talk by the press of its tumbling ratings that it went head to head with a well loved BBC crime drama and so inevitably both were lower than they might have been because of the clash.
We will only know if there has been a serious loss of viewers to the show and not just its live slot if the episode 2, 3, 4 etc consolidated figures are millions down.

Well, GMB isn't renowned for its news, and Breakfast aren't exactly any higher than usual, so news interest can't be very high at all, not for breakfast time anyway, unless everyone's watching Sky News, which I highly doubt.

Yes Breakfast is stable and consistent, but GBM is terrible, lower than when Daybreak and Dsybreak2 were axed. I can see a revamp in April looming.
Interesting think you posted there, GMB isn't renowned for its news, how true and that's the issue.
The papers love to knock a show on its way down in the ratings, Eastenders or Coronation Street, The Apprentice, Downton Abbey or Broadchurch......they love Call The Midwife and Bake Off.....maybe its puts of some viewers to know they watch a 'ridiculed' TV show??

If the tabloids smell blood they go for it, TV, MPs, Football teams, and yes a few a few impressionable people believe it all. They were gunning for X a Factor and put the boot in on stars in there eyes.
The calibre of the Mail's TV reporting is shown by a contrived piece today (P. 19) (headlined: 'Seen it all before! BBC 2 has same shows two days in a row'.)
This reveals how BBC 2 schedules last night and tonight are all but identical.
However, it makes an absurd pigs ear of doing this. Firstly, both nights are dominated by snooker as happens from time to time and this is always on for days and has always dominated BBC 2 schedules when it is. Then Eggheads is on daily as quizes often are on BBC and ITV.
But it then claims that 'stripping' is 'far less common for documentaries such as Great British Railway Journeys' and summarises its two episodes.
Except if the twerp who had written this piece had bothered to do any research then he would have discovered this popular show has run for five years now and ALWAYS been stripped exactly this way at 6.30 Monday to Friday. As it relates a different journey across a different part of the UK in 5 parts each week. With 4 or 5 journeys, one per week during the series. So it works that way and would not be the same without stripping.
BBC bashing at its sloppy worst by some guy called Sam.

Probably 9:55 to 10:00 when the show had finished, or maybe even 10:00 itself, who knows with The Sun

It's easier than ever for presenters to work across the various channels, nobody cares and because of independent productions they can work with all the same people regardless of the channel.
Mel and Sue is a Princess production, as was Light Lunch, so it's not beyond the realms of possibility that Mel and Sue or Princess came up with the idea of bringing back a Mel and Sue chat show and approached the various broadcasters, and it was ITV who decided they wanted to do it. It doesn't interfere with any of their BBC work which clearly they're still doing. Yeah, they're a bit of a hotter property now than they were before Bake-Off so ITV were a bit more interested but to suggest they were poached is rubbish.”

Exactly, but every time someone who has appeared on the BBC dares to appear on ITV, we get the same old posts, people making lists of everyone who has ever done this, ftv banging on about Adrian and Christine, as if they defected last week, not 5 years ago.

They aren't BBC presenters moving to ITV though are they? They haven't left the BBC for ITV, and over their career have presented on practically every channel.

Well he's hardly going to say that Corrie is rubbish and it's all my fault is he?
EastEnders producers have all said the same moments before they were sacked

All fired off by the lower rating. Look the rating was down, let's go onto Twitter see what a few nutters have said and make a story about it. If the tabloids weren't bad enough, they are even worse with Twitter being the source of many of their stories now.
Such a shame the TV companies never get a right to reply, the only time this ever happens is when the weather presenter rubbishes the Daily Express's latest story, and even then they tip toe around the issue often avoiding to mention the paper in question, as if they are about to be sued for libel.

Of course, there is zero mention in the talk by the press of its tumbling ratings that it went head to head with a well loved BBC crime drama and so inevitably both were lower than they might have been because of the clash.
We will only know if there has been a serious loss of viewers to the show and not just its live slot if the episode 2, 3, 4 etc consolidated figures are millions down.”
They seem to have stolen that from Grace Dent's (rather good) review of it http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-en...e-9967580.html

This reveals how BBC 2 schedules last night and tonight are all but identical.
However, it makes an absurd pigs ear of doing this. Firstly, both nights are dominated by snooker as happens from time to time and this is always on for days. Then Eggheads is on daily as quizes often are on BBC and ITV.
But it then claims that 'stripping' is 'far less common for documentaries such as Great British Railway Journeys' and summarises its two episodes.
Except if the twerp who had written this piece had bothered to do any research then he would have discovered this popular show has run for five years now and ALWAYS been stripped exactly this way at 6.30 Monday to Friday. As it relates a different journey across a different part of the UK in 5 parts each week.
BBC bashing at its sloppy worst.”

Agree the Daily Fail is rock bottom, I will not even call it journalism as that is an insult to other papers. I really like Michael Portilos Railways its a loverly show, and as you say always stripped.
A Broadchurch backlash based on the fact ratings dropped due to a clash with Silent Witness, whose ratings also dropped. After episode 1 people were saying it wasn't as popular as the series finale. It ended up being more popular.
ITV Press Centre should be sending stats to these papers!

As it relates a different journey across a different part of the UK in 5 parts each week. With 4 or 5 journeys, one per week during the series. So it works that way and would not be the same without stripping.

Indeed, almost like they had to run a BBC bashing story and they didn't have much to go on this week.

ITV and BBC should be sticking up for themselves far more over some of these pointless and petty attacks!
