I do, would say it's one of the better Doctor Who stories of its era ie the early 80s.

As someone else said above, Doc Martin will probably timeshift generously too.

Well that's going to be a disaster for Corrie Live then, unless they air it at 7?

Good consolation for them after being beaten every Saturday by TVUK.

That I am not sure - the 80s were strange

And not take me an hour to read in the tommorow morning heh

I do have weird tastes though as I think that I am one of the few who actually enjoyed some of the McCoy era.

The alternative would be the dreaded 9 on thursdays where Drama goes to die, except on BBC2 that is heh

Am I missing out not watching DM? Can't bear Martin Clunes so can't watch.

I liked quite a bit of McCoy too.

Horror Channel Repeating Colin Baker ep currently so Mckoy ones not far off.

I used to annoy my parents so much watching Doctor Who every Sunday Morning on UK Gold - before it changed into a comedy channel

Forget about McCoy's first series, his other two were great and a classic story in each one with Remembrance Of The Daleks and Curse Of Fenric. Too little, too late though plus Doctor Who was up against Coronation Street.

I thought Thursday was the death slot for drama then Death In Paradise went there and got huge numbers. Plus Silent Witness did well there too. But this was Winter, I can't think of an Autumn drama that has done well on Thursdays in recent years.

Remembrance is one of my favourite stories. Although I felt that some of the magic was lost when I saw how short the Battle Dalek actually was when I went to the Experience - in fact all the original series daleks.

UKTV announces 2015/16 US TV pickups for Watch & Alibi:

* Code Black (CBS Medical Drama)
* Quantico (ABC Crime Thriller)
* Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders (CBS Crime Drama)

Three very good buys there IMO- on paper at least, as I haven't seen them.

Well I know Quantico doesn't start in the US until the end of the month as I looked it up a couple of weeks back and will give it a watch. Not sure whether the other two shows have started.

It it does better than Chasing Shadows last year, or Breathless and Truckers from the year before i'd say its a win.

I think the Criminal Minds spin off is planned as a mid season show. Looking forward to this one, and hopefully it will do better than the last attempted spin off which was cancelled.

Yes those last two came back on song for the program. But by that time it was in need of a rest. Many fans of the program always howl about it being axed but it needed to be axed. It needed the rest so it could come back and win the next generation of viewers.

Controversial opinion but I think it needed to happen. It was never really properly axed though. It appeared on red nose day not long after I think and then the TV special in 96. And the radio and merchandise carried on.

It was a clever resting, and thanks to Lorraine Heggessey she fought hard with BBC worldwide to make a series.

Its a tactic that the should have employed with Top Gear, maybe not so long but a few years off, let the dust settle, let the memory fade and the nostalgia of the best bits to shine on.

It actually did better than most programs against Corrie i think.

They're going to show Code Black from October and the other two early next year.

UKTV has a solid strategy for their pay channels, and rarely pick up duds. It's just Dave where they are getting it wrong. Monday night's schedule is tanking for them, see last night for example:

20:00 Parks and Recreation: 0.08m (0.4%)
20:30 Parks and Recreation: ~0.08m
21:00 Last Man on Earth: ~0.08m
21:30 Last Man on Earth: ~0.08m
22:00 Suits: 0.17m (1.2%)
23:00 QI XL: 0.11m (1.6%)

How disappointing.

Then again we cant pretend its not a surprise with the way things have gone this year.

I think Corrie Live will be at 8pm. It'll shave a million or two off what it could get elsewhere, but you can see why they're doing it as it means they'll actually get to launch Unforgotten with a good lead-in rather than the 2.5m or so it'd have as a lead in otherwise.

any ratings for cbb?

Soap Ratings clicky
