One of the more interesting ratings of the year awaited for J and H. Do ITV still have the weight to bring people to the channel to watch a relatively substantial new drama in what is an odd launch slot? Will it grow etc etc.

at 3x90 minutes, and 2 big name stars, Sherlock is an ideal show to transfer to cinemas, if this special is a hit, I could well see proper movies in the shows future, whichever timeline they want,

Radio Times has it on at 7 next week,thought it was very good and will grow especially on at later time.

I don't understand how much padding X Factor will need for Nick and Rita to choose their final 3 in 90 mins? We've seen some of Nick's already haven't we?

Well I thought J&H was great. Hopefully it does well. As someone said earlier, very polished.

I have no idea what the show will be like tonally, but I think unless it's more of a period soap opera than a conventional dark drama, it's in a bit of a catch 22. The people who watch ITV slots like that won't like it because they're not used to it, and the people who'd like it won't watch an ITV slot like that!

Can you imagine today's ITV producing The Professionals, Minder or The Jewel in the Crown? And it used to be ITV that made the definitive version of Sherlock for a generation...

[quote=LHolmes;80123164]To be fair it's not just him. Half of this thread wants EastEnders to fail while others were gloating at SCD's reduced figures during clashes with high-rating rugby, hoping that they were unrelated to the clash and instead that the programme.

Oh boo hoo! That could be said for any show on this thread

I do hope Stephen Moffat was watching J&H. That's how you make family sci-fi for the small-screen.

Careful... Jekyll & Hyde might be a touchy subject for him, especially if the ratings are good and it makes it to a second series...

They just bewilder me, every year banging on about changes and each year do less than the year before! Sure the set up is different for judges houses this year, but the whole tone and drearyness is exactly the same. All XF seem to do these days is overdoeverything and take out anything that works for the sake of it. Also anyone else feel there is less money spent on it with each year? I know the set remains the same but at least that is pretty good in the first place. The graphics and editing are so cheap now.

And yet I'm sure that the continuity announcer declared after the credits it was on at 6.30 next week....but maybe I misheard.

Someone else said that on the Jekyll and Hyde thread as well. To be fair, ITV and competence are not two words often used in the same sentence.

I don't know if anyone has any info on it, but is there any indication that X Factor's younger audience dipping out of the show is going over to BBC1 to watch Strictly? It seems like among people in my age group (early to mid 20s), people I know personally and on social media, there seems to be a lot of people that age watching Strictly this year. Maybe people who don't usually?

Is this series of Strictly starting to get more of a younger demo watching?

I'm confused. What is this list for? Something very obvious about this series of Doctor Who so far. No episode has reached 7m in consolidated ratings.
I guess what I was trying to show was that although the episodes so far this series are amongst the lowest rated, low ratings have occurred throughout the broadcast history of Doctor Who, even during the periods which are now perceived to be much more accessible to the audience.

In regards to 7 million in consolidated ratings, for reference, in the Nu Who era, 27% of episodes have failed to reach this figure (30% if you exclude the Christmas or other special episodes).

I know many who have been inspired to take up dancing, at all ages.

Jekyll & Hyde was great. If it doesn't start strong in the ratings, it will almost certainty improve as the weeks go on.

Just look at the difference between Doctor Foster's first and last episode several weeks ago.

Doctor Who has lost its way a bit though. It doesn't scream "Wow, that was fantastic" anymore when you watch it. It screams "You will watch it because we are entitled to be on your telly because my writer is so damn clever so there!" Complacency and an air of self entitled arrogance about it has somehow overshadowed its once brilliant must not ever miss ambience.

He appeals to people in their early 20s?! I doubt that very much.

He's in his 40s and has gone down the Robbie Williams route of dressing closer to his age and replacing the pop records with swing tunes.

And he's the face/voice of Iceland - where Mums go, presumably fantasizing about a surprise double pat on the arse from Peter Andre before heading home to watch Strictly.

I reckon whatever happens with Sundays rating this segment of XF hasn't worked and will be back on the drawing board for a change next year.
