Football will be done and dusted by 7pm. No need whatsoever to avoid the post match discussion when most switch off as soon as the match finishes. Clearly an attempt to dent X Factor. As they are entitled to do if they so wish. I'd rather they didn't however.

Maybe an 'up yours' sign to ITV after the numerous Emmerdale and EastEnders clashes? Can't blame them if so. It's definitely nothing to do with the football; it's a 5pm kick off so will be over by 7pm.

Easier slot for Casualty if the schedules don't change tomorrow.

But they need to be very careful at the moment in trying to deliberately damage a commercial channel,given the scrutiny they are under by their paymasters ie The Government.

To get so many people watching Bake Off, Strictly, BGT etc must be doing something right. Network television need to try and make more event TV, easier said than done of course but when it works it is huge. TV that's unimaginative and just put on to fill space in a schedule is what has viewers running to Netflix/Amazon etc.

Summer this year has been very poor weatherwise. Perhaps the broadcasters were hoping this year, with no World Cup to act as a distraction, that this summer would be hot again and they could show some of the worst shows in the vault. What seems to have happened is, with regard to BBC One and ITV, their schedules have been so weak this summer people have defected to other channels rather than watching Prized Apart and KIITF out of desperation.
Casualty, Holby City, Home Fires, The Syndicate, The Interceptor, Humans, Black Work, The Outcast, Partners In Crime, Ripper Street and New Tricks. In Comparison, in 2014 there was 7 (Casualty, Law and Order, Happy Valley, The Village, In the Club, New Tricks and Doctor Who). Obviously just because they pulled in a lot viewers doesn't necessarily make them any good or memorable, but the numbers would suggest (for drama at least) this year is no worse than normal. |

Emmerdale tonight was absolutely brilliant. EE will be dented heavily. Big twist at the end, although I had predicted it

I hate to suggest the BBC should give up competitive scheduling but this is just unnecessary in my view. Football should be pretty much done by 7 anyway.
They will get punished for this kind of thing in the end. ......could it be that maybe BBC1 is just trying to protect Casualty from the X-Factor (or does that not play into the SCD vs X-factor narrative that everything must be viewed through ).

Seriously can't see the big deal. It's a clash of what 15 mins or so.
The same happened every Saturday for a while last year when there were so many couples still in. It's Saturday night, it's going to happen. |

They didn't used to. Well, they did... then they didn't... then they did. But when they have four hours of primetime it seems silly to have the shows go head-to-head when it's obvious so many watch both (hence the increase The X Factor sees after Strictly finishes). It was different in the early years when both had to cram in a results show on Saturday night as well but neither have that issue now.
And yes, EastEnders v Emmerdale is another example of this when it shouldn't really happen but does. Now they can't. 15 mins is more than acceptable IMO. |

It was different when the boot was on the other foot and XF bullied SCD back earlier.
Now they can't. 15 mins is more than acceptable IMO. IMO it isn't so we'll have to agree to disagree on that one.

Football wise I don't think anything commercially viable is out there. Maybe look into the League Cup but that one is a long way off.

England games could massively hurt it. I expect it will do quite well the rugby.
As for next time, I don't believe they have the rights yet do they? Could well go to sky if I'm honest. Quote:
Planet's Got Talent was not promoted at all and dumped in the middle of nowhere.
I think I recall Steve Williams say, quite a while back, that ITV factual needs a clear identity and I still think that's the case. They have Long Lost Family and For the Love of Dogs proving to be decent shows yet they're seemingly not looking at what makes them work and trying to spin them further. I suppose Give a Pet a Home was an attempt to ape off For the Love of Dogs but they had to throw celebrities at it. It would have probably worked better as a 30 minute show. The celebrity travelogues perform decently if given the right slot but they seriously need more depth. As for factual, I have indeed said many times that ITV factual needs to be a bit brash and a bit sentimental. Someone mentioned Neighbours From Hell before and though that was hardly the most edifying format and wasn't going to trouble the BAFTAs, it was at least an obvious ITV format.* That's the kind of thing they need more of, not ob-docs that could easily play on BBC2. * Course, I say that but after the original one-off they commissioned a series but the producer defected to the Beeb to do a lookalike show called Neighbours at War, which they scheduled first - http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules...don/1998-01-05 - but ITV rushed the first episode of Neighbours From Hell out to show it at 8.30 the same night, with the rest of the series following later in the year. The Beeb only did one series, of course on ITV it ran for a while. Quote:

![]() It's just a coincidence, Although that lead in for TXF looks like ITV aren't helping themselves. Quote:
Friday 11th - Gogglebox @ 9, Chatty Man @ 10
Also I see from the Radio Times that the new series of Duck Quacks Don't Echo, which we were talking about the other week, was supposed to be starting on Friday, still at 8pm, but it's now been abruptly rescheduled to Monday, presumably as someone at Sky realised it would be ridiculous to have a panel show starring Lee Mack going up against Lee Mack's other panel show on BBC1. Also as well I see Countryfile's Ellie Harrison is doing a factual show for ITV next week so I look forward to extended posts about how she's defected to ITV and how she's going to fall flat on her face and Julia Bradbury and blah blah blah. |

Why have they moved Strictly 15 minutes later? Didn't really need to do that.

Yeah, I can't really decide if that's wonderful scheduling from ITV or stupid scheduling. Keep It In The Family is clearly there as ballast against Strictly but I really think this of all nights they could have easily got away with showing The X Factor straight after it. If they're going to orchestrate clashes and be aggressive in the scheduling it would make far more sense to do it here than a pointless soap clash. As it stands you've got a big audience at the end of the football and they're just going to drfit off, with no guarantee they'll switch back for The X Factor.

It might be acceptable but it certainly isn't necessary. Why can't the BBC just avoid this sort of nonsense which doesn't actually benefit them?
ITV always have the option to put the XF back 15 mins. Why can't they do that ? BBC move EE so you can't say they don't move their progs can you. |

its BBC's flagship Saturday night show. Surely they would want to schedule it where they feel it fits best.

I don't buy that it's simply because it's the best slot for Strictly, especially when it's best year was when it and The X Factor tended to avoid each other - admittedly not always but mostly. |
