The minority are saying that, most loved the twist, and there are ways of explaining it so it is not all that "unbelievable".


Do I? I have made 13 (now 14) posts in this part of the thread out of 2,775. Yeah I am always on here.

Last Monday I think it was EE was being ripped to shreds for a sub-par figure, I didn't reply. Interestingly, very little was said when the show posted a better figure on Tuesday and when Corrie got a poor one on Wednesday.

You've been making these exact same points every time you appear on here. Change the record.

ITV News came on air at 3:50pm and will stay on air until the new royal baby appears.

What happens if the new baby doesn't appear until tomorrow, I'm not sure!

Of course there is nothing of much consequence on until 7pm and even then they could push back normal programmes even later than that.

I think BBC News was only broadcast for that half an hour to fill time after the snooker finished early. I'm surprised ITV have started broadcasting so early, when they probably won't leave the hospital until their scheduled evening bulletin anyway.

Well those (ADP) who suggested ITV should have had GMB on air today for the announcement of the Royal baby will be pleased to hear ITV News is on whilst the BBC are showing a film.

ITV show very little programmes of significance during weekend daytimes anyway, so it makes sense for them to show ITV news for this event.

To be fair they got some good numbers the last time they pointed a camera at a door for an hour so they seem to be trying the same trick again.

ITV will be showing BGT when the baby comes out

Poor all round from that set of ratings. Wallace and Gromit didn't work and was almost sub 2m. Mrs Brown's Boys didn't repeat as well as it often does.

And Graham Norton looks to be on the low side as well, below 3m.

People are sick of the soaps, with last night being cold and miserable, they should be getting a million more. Isn't it time they were all trimmed by an episode each week?
It's OK people saying the ratings are bound to be down due to everyone having Freeview and Sky, but the soaps seem to be dropping a million viewers each year regardless. Also it's possible that the elderly audience who watch the ITV soaps are dying out and not being replaced, a fate that killed High Road in Scotland.

Thankyou. Exactly what I was going to say!

Not surprised. Last night's episode was totally flat. The lineup of guests didn't really work together and it was nowhere near as entertaining as it normally is.

Very Childish

I'm going for 10 million for BGT tonight. This show really is the jewel in ITV's crown and probably Cowell's these days. It's easy to see why BGT continues to do so well, well liked hosts, a panel with a nice guy and a Mr Nasty, a variety of acts and none of the hyperdramatics of TXF.

BGT will do well tonight - 10-11m perhaps/

Very childish? Funny how once you say anything remotely bad about eastenders you get jumped on by hardcore fans who don't like a bit of criticism. Now that is childish. Time to add a few more to the ignore list. Dave's petty arguments over soaps

Looks like ITV made the right decision for staying on air with their News Special.

The second Royal Baby that BBC One aren't interested in.

Why do these Griff Jones documentaries keep getting commissioned for primetime? His last BBC One series died a death in 2012, and no one's interested in his ITV ones either.

Beaten by the umpteenth screening of Wallace and Gromit!

Yes they got the live appearance of the royals that they wanted,odd BBC1 didnt go live to it though.

LOL BBC 1 missed the broadcast. .

You've seen one baby, you've seen them all.

To be fair there wasn't much to see this time round. They didn't speak and didn't appear for very long.

The weather in the North and Scotland is miserable at the moment. BGT could pass 10 million tonight.

BBC1 stuck with its irrelevant filler programming

I remember last time BBC1 messed up the coverage.
