They may be trying to increase the actual audience for the Grand National and the Derby, but the trade off is a lot of meetings being shown on a digital channel......one wonders where they'll draw the line between what gets on to ITV1 and to ITV4.

Channel 4 moved racing to More4 on occasions, and it's likely this would have happened more often with Formula 1 to fit in as well.
If ITV4 can get an audience for something like the Indian Premier League during the day, then I'm sure racing can also work for them. Sure, the audience would be lower than than it was on Channel 4 but the majority of the loyal racing followers would find it and the extra viewers on the big days - the ones where betting turnover is at its highest - would make it worth it. |

I think the thing with Sherlock is that last series got a consolidated rating of 12.7m which inflated Moffatt's ego, thus he begins to have too much free reign over the shows he writes for. Dr Who, Sherlock are now becoming too self indulgent and not written for the viewer.
And these types of dramas are hyped up to the max by the BBC only to be a let down once watched. |

I missed Sherlock and so glad I did. My family told me it was dreadful and they have been counting the days to the episode. What a let down for the fans.

I must have really low expectations because this thread and Twitter suggest that it must be rubbish but I thought Sherlock was an excellent bit of fun last night and don't agree that it was anything near the mess that Moffat has made of Doctor Who.

ITV's News at Ten is at 10.30 on Monday and Thursday next week - at least they can't complain about the BBC putting their news against ITV.

Haven't C4 got both F1 and racing this year?
Incidentally, isn't BBC Sport an oxymoron these days? It has virtually nothing left in the cupboard - Formula 1 gone; darts, snooker and athletics all disappearing imminently. |

Sherlock was what it was. A one off yarn. Always advertised as such. I don't need my family, nor twitter, nor DS posters to tell me whether it was good or not. I went into the programme not expecting anything other than a seasonal one off and that is exactly what I got. It was neither self indulgent nor awful. It answered questions and raised new ones. It explained the Victorian setting and continued from where series 3 ended. How is that self indulgent? I enjoyed it. It was enjoyable. Possibly not the best ever episode, but I didn't ever think it would be.

I liked and I didn't like Sherlock but I couldn't explain why either way. I think
![]() I'm a telly nerd and a Sherlock fan. I stuck with it. Millions of causal viewers will have voted with their remotes I fear. Given the general ratings slump it was always going to rate well down on its peak. If folk abandoned it god knows what it got! It may not even have topped the night! |

I think perhaps the two yearly gaps between Sherlock may damage the series more than last nights one off.
Anyway, the way that the film careers of the two stars have taken off, I strongly suspect that Series 4 (or at a real push, Series 5) might be the last that will be able to be made. |

Sherlock was interesting, but I was glad the story returned to present day with half an hour to go.
Mrs Brown's Boys was completely wasted after Sherlock last night. |

I doubt many people turn off a BBC1 drama mid way through. You are talking as if it was absolutely dreadful which it wasn't. People may turn off a bad commercial TV drama as they get the opportunity to do so every 15 minutes.

I switch Sherlock off mid way though of out of Sheer Boredom every time I try and watch it, don't know why I keep giving it another chance, baffled why its so Popular and why everyone thinks Benedict Stupid Name is a great actor when he really isn't.
I love Sherlock but a small guilty part of me can't help secretly wishing it had taken a slight hit last night so Moffat and Hartswood could've been forced to notice that the show needs to take a step back and breathe. Of course a likely 10m+ final figure in this day and age is to be commended, but peoples' patience won't last forever. |

EastEnders started the year with a bang - 8.29m (33.4%) at 8pm.
Mrs. Brown's Boys got 5.58m (31.7%). |
