Hassaan has a round up soon. Get ready Lewie.

Chelsea was obviously their first choice but Friday and Saturday nights were ruled out due police and Fulham playing, hence the Sunday kick off.

I'm ready!

BBC One Breakdown
ITV Breakdown (inc +1)

Brilliant number for Takeaway - should hold up next week with the Six Nations lead-in. Looks like it peaked quite early around the Corden segment but I'm not too surprised, it did feel like a more 'snappier' show than last year.

I know some will say its for Adverts but I think extending the shows running time by 15 mins gave Ant and Dec to give things a little more time and not rush things

Thanks to Hassan and Lewie.

A very different look to this:

BBC One: 23.8%
ITV: 21.8% (+1: 1.8%)

This could be the first signs of a change in Saturday share fortunes over the next few years in quarter one.

Quite a pointed difference at 7pm though based on the breakdown SNT didn't rise spectacularly. TVUK looks poor there.

I was a little concerned that extending it slightly would make it feel dragged out but it actually worked really well at 90 minutes. Up 12% on last year's launch despite a downward trend through last year's series.

The reason for the early peak in the 15 minute breakdown is because the advert breaks were heavily stacked later in the show. The first two segments were nearly 20 minutes each whereas the later ones were shorter. There probably wouldn't be a drop off in the 5 minute breakdown.

Cant believe the voice is on for two hours next week at least if it was on itv you could sky+ and forward through the ads . I'll probably give up after next week like many others do.

Anyone missing The Getaway Car? No, thought not.

+1 is dire as well. Thrown away....

As said above, I reckon many people would've thought it was the first one and swerved it. Needed promoting.

Back next Saturday

I wonder if the BBC considered having Getaway car on Saturday night's rather than win your wish list

example last night could have been

7.15pm Getaway Car
8.05pm The Voice
9.25pm Casualty

In Australia, Death in Paradise topped the Saturday overnights again with 38,000 more viewers compared with last week. Cuffs was fifth again, but with a reduced audience for its second episode (down 104,000).

Saturday overnights (Australia)

I think Death In Paradise was kept off ABC last year because the BBC wanted it to premiere on BBC First over there. So I think the series on ABC now is last year's. Death In Paradise was getting big ratings in Australia on ABC. Going to BBC First was a dreadful decision.

Not good scheduling to launch a new show and just as it might start gaining momentum, take it off for 3 weeks.

I hope ITV kept the receipt!

Seriously, though, the signs are not good for Voice. That was still an audition show, so it will fall further. Not only is the rating underwhelming, but it seems to have boosted Ant and Dec. I realise the first Takeaway of the series usually does better than most of the others, but even allowing for that, Voice has clearly driven more people towards it.

Maybe it could have started fifteen minutes later, so Takeaway could begin at the same time as Voice, but if a film can't get an audience on a cold, wet, February Saturday, would it do much better elsewhere?

Can you imagine the stick the BBC would be getting now if they'd been able to renew it for another two or three years?

ITV's poaching has worked out well for the BBC. A rare bit of good luck for them.

The first Takeaway isn't always the best of the run. It was last year but it was only middle of the pack in 2013 and 2014. With a big launch like last night I suspect it might be the biggest of the run again this year but you never know.

The Voice's troubles do seem to have helped it yes, although that's never a guarantee. Nothing BBC1 have put against X Factor particularly seems to have benefitted from that show losing millions of viewers over the years for instance

I'd definitely be concerned about The Voice if I were ITV. There's always the chance that a big revamp and a load of hype will help but beyond a big launch (if that) there are no guarantees. I wonder if there were any clauses in their contract about anything depending on ratings for this run staying above a certain level? They must have known this was a possibility but it doesn't look good. I suspect it'll be scheduled around Takeaway next year rather than the other way around, possibly even on Sundays.

It wouldn't be pretty. Having said that, they've still lost a hit show that they will probably miss. Those blind audition shows still averaged 6.5m and it'll be difficult (albeit not impossible) for a replacement to match that. If ITV can hold that (the decline from the channel move evened out by a lot more hype and perhaps some appealing judges) they'd be pretty happy. It'd still be a lot better than anything they had on Saturdays before last night and a vast, vast improvement on Beowulf in the Sunday slot they've struggled in.

The provisional schedule had the BBC planning Sunday and Monday games, but it didn't work out that way, for some reason.

All good points, but imagine if the BBC had the 2017 series and the auditions still averaged 6.5m, they still have the problem of seven other weeks of Voice afterwards: even longer shows, too.

Last week, I thought Voice and Takeaway might both go under 5m at some point in the series, but I think Takeaway might avoid that now (even if one show starts at 6pm), but I think Voice might go under 4m for one of the live shows!

The rest of the programs are at around 300k. I think that's where Cuff might fall to.

Also I heard the star of the show is going on trial for a racist incident. Hardly looking good for BBC reviving it and putting it on another channel.
