That's not true. I've written plenty of positive reviews of Simon's shows.
Can't argue with t**t though. ![]() ![]()

Slightly awkward for me too since I just suggested the Mirror will headline that TVUK has gone to Dave!

Not sure what went on there. Has the Beeb signed and sealed it?
The most likely person to know is John Whittingdale I reckon. We should all email him and ask. |

It's going to be interesting to see what happens. In various ways, it's awkward for the BBC to keep, awkward to lose, and awkward for ITV to take.
![]() ![]() Like others have said, there's no guarantee it would do as well on ITV. It would have the same producers so probably wouldn't change much, but would the audience follow it? I guess ITV's ideal scenario would be to get it and play it in the Autumn. Then they'd have an X Factor replacement (next year's XF could then be promoted as the last one and might get a small boost). They'd also have robbed BBC1 of its big Saturday Q1 hit, so they could stick with Takeaway there (getting an easier run) and they'd probably be able to get decent ratings against only average competition in January as opposed to the struggles they've had there recently. It would kill a lot of birds with one stone, but it all seems a bit of a stretch to say the least and would leave a bit of a bad taste in the mouth that they'd have to nick a show from BBC1 to replace X Factor. Still, business is business I suppose. |

![]() ![]() You would have thought, after all the years the Ratings Thread had been going, that tradition alone would have forced him to reply to you. Clearly these Tories just too aloof for their own good

So, In general, what do people think the main reason for the drop is?
Halloween? Grimmy and the poor panel? The SCC events? The Judges Houses new format or Mason Noise being put in after he was thrown off? People on here know that I watched the 2nd SCC live, but since then, I have only watched a few clips online from JH and last night (Im assuming a lot of people are watching clips online, the show live is just too draining IMO) I did give SCC a very hard time, but it seems that the figures were rising despite the very negative social media reaction to the SCC. But I think last weekend was the event that really put people off. Judges Houses should be exactly what it says. I don't know why they did it in the way it happened. Basically JH was just another instalment of SCC of people shouting in the audience. We saw like a tenth of singing, and the other nine-tenths were filled up with stories, people walking in slow motion, tears, audience cheering/booing and shouting, adverts, interviews with the judges and 10x too much time for decision making. "You have 10 seconds to name your final choice". And the Mason choice was not surprising but may have been another reason for the drop. That wasn't received very well online either. Getting rid of Louis didn't help. A total fool no doubt, but he understood the show for the nonsense it was and really played with that. Same goes for Dermot. I'll never understand why they thought hiring an ex-runner up of the show to present would be a good idea. And Caroline is as flat as anything. There's nobody on the show now that you'd like to spend time with - Sharon, Louis, Nicole, all bonkers but you liked to watch them. This lot are so far up their own arses it's unbelievable. |

I wonder if TXF will go to Channel 5 in 2017 as they seem to like taking failing shows from other stations

Would not be much of a replacement though would it. TVUK lives rate worse than XF the show its supposed to replace. Something seems a bit daft there.

The Mirrors about turn on TVUK did cause a bit of mirth on this site. I have about as much idea as the press to be honest.

I've just watched the show and the standard was reasonably high. No worse than usual. The show regained its positive vibe and Olly and Caroline did well. Almost like last week's shambles never happened.

It would have been at least 7.0m (inc. +1) if it didn't fall directly on halloween.
Its like saying EastEnders would get 30 million if it didn't have any competition and everyone was forced in to watch it, completely pointless |

The most awkward thing for ITV will be if they accept the BBC's offer for it: "You shouldn't be airing these kinds of shows!!!
But you're paying us how much??? " |

Dunno why you're posting that here, Mr Hyland is a t--t who has never said a positive word about Simon's shows.

He makes Steve Brookstein look gracious.. His weird obsession and delight with X Factor's fall is very strange.
He's a bit of a **** though. |

It's not really strange though is it. There is a mutual dislike between him and Simon so if XF fails he's bound to be happy.

Doesn't say much. I think TXF will be gone next year, Cowell hates not being top dog.
XFactor will still be on ITV next year. |
