I'm surprised that Channel 4 still hasn't nabbed The Bing Bang Theory. It would make a solid alternative to shiny floor reality shows.

Those bottom two figures for Corrie and EastEnders don't look healthy and rosy! Some tv executives need to wake up smell the coffee ☕, get their fingers out and do something to slow the rate of decline if they have any sense.
Because it is a case of slowing the trend of decline rather than reversing it.

But that "right programme" won't fulfil its potential in that slot and would do better elsewhere. There is no need for concern that night as ITV's schedule from 8.30 seems quite feeble. BBC One's is pretty strong overall. I notice they slipped in a Bargain Hunt at noon.
Does anyone know the consolidated rating for The X Factor results on 15th November? Once again the +1 rating failed to make the ITV+1 Top chart on BARB. Thanks.

7.88m inc. +1. The Doctor Who News website has the top (20 I think) of that week and always include +1.

Thanks lewie.
Well if DW continues like tonights throughout the next run under Moffatt, its going to be dead before he leaves. What a mind boggling episide. That is a total turn off for casual viewers.

I think it poor tbh and has been since 2012. I watch it sometimes if I'm bored.

Well you certainly haven't missed anything on the XF. The first half was awful.
Second part is better.

Well we'll see because I'm sure last week I said I thought it was the best LIVE show and you disagreed with me, so I'll see when I watch it.

Come on Dan. There were some awful performances. Bizarre song choices.
I would say all of them were much better second time around.

The share for EE wasn't to bad being down 1% but that is quite a drop for the 2nd CS. ED seems to be weathering this best, but this downwards spiral is set to continue for this genre.

I have been trying to stick up for DW over recent weeks, but it seems to be one step forward and two steps back with this series. This episode was pretty dire to be fair and I am glad we only have one more left.
Perhaps with a break it can come back refreshed. Sad time for Who fans, although I doubt they would admit it.

it was an awesome episode, but yeah freely admit its not going to do anything for the casual audience.

Cheryl's behaviour meanwhile gets odder by the week. I want some of whatever she's on, might make Reggie & Bollie more enjoyable.

She was rather strange. Couldn't sit still.

I think in many ways Moffat is doing the same thing as Treadwell-Collins and making their shows for a certain fan base and not for the wider audience, which is a real shame.

I wonder if the plan was to air Churchill over Christmas (it was in the Autumn drama trailer) and Harry Price: Ghost Hunter in the New Year, but given how poorly anything supernatural/fantasy has done this year they're burning off Harry Price over Christmas instead.
Does it say when any other stuff will be airing Pizza?”

They've just got five things for January: Churchill, Jericho, Beowulf, War and Peace, Shetland.
Time will tell if they're correct!

Yep bizzare stuff alright. I wonder if she has found Sharon's old secret stash of sweets... In her dressing room

I am really liking this series of Doctor Who, unlike the last, but I am a Sci-Fi fan. Doctor Who has never been just Sci-Fi, and maybe it should be populist as well, RTDs did seem to really understand that, and delivered on it.
I know there are other factors that add to the ratings, but Voayge of the Dammed final rating was 13.31 million., right now Moffat is very far away from that.

That is the entire problem. I watched it with a casual viewer who has watched off and on since the revival but never before then - whilst I watched episode 1 in 1963.
I realised what was going on fairly early and found it quite engrossing because I understood that and spotted the clues that led to the conclusion but my friend went off and made a cup of tea and took ages over it as she was by then completely lost not knowing much about the Dr Who backstory.
I had to spend about five minutes at the end explaining everything about the plot to just get told - don't bother I won't be watching next week after that rubbish.
If you have to do that to half the audience there will be only one outcome on viewing figures.
This series has completely aliennated the casual viewer and that's fine if they are happy with a modest live audience. But it will probably effect the Christmas ratings as I suspect a lot of newly acquired fans have drifted away this series.

Yes I agree with you. I think you will find as time goes on, people will watch less tv and we will regard 4 million as a good rating on BBC 1 and ITV and we will only ever see big audiences for national events and the odd blockbuster. Times have changed and we are less reliant on tv. I can see drama's pulling in 2 million viewers getting re commissioned.

......yes it never seems to get a good press on here but it was gloriously over the top family friendly adventure-and Kylie to boot! Figures to match. One of the high points of modern Who from a populist perspective.

I Agree with that The acts that are left are meant to be the very best out of everyone that applied and they are rubbish, I bet Reggie and Bollie will win and that will just about sum up all thats been wrong this year. Compare that with Strictly and the Celebs that are left are terrific dancers and its very hard to pick a winner from them.
