To explain why I highlighted Coronation Street's second episode, here are Mediatel's figures (not tape-checked) for the first two Mondays of January compared with the tape-checked figures from DS :
Okay - thanks


Do you have any figures for the itv soaps from Friday?

I think we already know about these, but Radio Times Extra has the following down as its picks for February and March: Happy Valley, The Night Manager, The X-Files, Scott/Bailey, Doctor Thorne.

Good to see Eastenders holding above 7m again

Really don't get why Corrie is higher than EE and Emmerdale as they are both miles ahead in Quality.

7m is good for EastEnders though and its in great form. Corrie is so poor.

Scott & Bailey will follow on after Benidorm. Doctor Thorne I suspect will go on Thursday after Jericho, although it is another period drama so might end up on Sunday's?

Be interesting to see how Michael Portillo's new railway series rates.

It starts in the very same slot as his Great British Railway Jouneys (M - F 6.30 pm BBC 2) immediately after this run (series 7) ends on Friday.

So Great American Railroad Journeys runs for 3 weeks starting next Monday.

Seems to be the same format and even has the American equivalent of Bradshawe's from the 19th century as a guide.

No, sorry, nothing from Mediatel.
The only figures we have are from ITV Media which were posted by dullagj2 yesterday.
They include +1 but, like Mediatel, are not tapechecked :

Emmerdale: 6.179m (33.0%)
Coronation Street (7.30pm): 7.308m (36.0%)
Coronation Street (8.30pm): 6.953m (32.0%) (would have been higher than this!)

Because EE still isn't quite as good as some people

Thanks Score.

And this only highlights how so much of BBC1's schedule skews so much older than other channels and why they hold up so well in most situations.

As TVUK skews so much older on BBC1, I suspect we'll see quite a big drop in ratings from previous BBC series (when in January) wen it moves to ITV.
So ITV have to try to interest a demographic who are not watching on BBC1 especially if they make changes which maybe put off the existing demographic. Going to be really interesting what happens.

This is why the soaps are invaluable to them, they appeal to lower class women, that is the demo available to them.

Looks he'll be using the US equivalent of a Bradshaw's. Given how huge the US is, they could easily get a few series out of it. I think if they do another primetime series, Australia would be a good location

I'm hoping The X Files doesn't end clashing with Happy Valley, 5 have done a great job promoting it on TV and billboard

I might be late to the party with this, but I've noticed the Ratings option has disappeared from the drop-down menu in the TV News section.

Doctor Thorne is one of a whole series of interlinked novels from Anthony Trollope and therefore could, I stress could, be planned as the first of several years' worth of output with international sales potential. That seems a safer fit for a Sunday than a Thursday - will 9 pm on Sundays be free once Vera finishes?

Good spot. That's a fairly recent change, for sure.

Not looking good. Not looking good at all.

A few more via Broadcast, including +1 channels:

9pm
Benidorm: 4.4m (19.5%)
Celebrity Big Brother: 2.5m (11.2%)
The Undateables: Holiday Romance: 1.8m (8%)

10pm
Crashing: 418k (2.5%)

10:45pm
Tracey Ullman's Show: 1.8m (16%)

Crashing could be the most aptly named show of the year so far, having lost a further 160k since last Monday.

Tracey Ullman meanwhile has lost 1.1m viewers in two weeks.
Tracey Ullman show was shown 30 minutes later in Wales so drop probably not as big

Churchill's Secret and Maigret are likely the next two dramas on Sundays though if Maigret is only 1 episode then you could fit in three episodes of Doctor Thorne

Doesn't really matter as it all about the internet views these days.
True, but I'm interested to see whether it's still popular enough to warrant a third series

It gor 183,000 last night.
Not great then

I assume they no longer doing it, Only what the thread gets now. Some ratings actually get posted on Twitter by number of sources at 09:30 but not the DS Twitter account. Digital Spy on Twitter isn't worth following at all as its looks like Buzzfeed.

Wales has a very little effect on the ratings, it's not a very big country.

Doesn't look like Tracey Ullman is going down very well, if it's dropped so much. I wonder if the new later time slot is partially the cause of this?

I think they should give it a send off next year with a couple of specals to tie everything up, because another series of 7x60 will see it die a painful death.

Its not a question of easier slot, its the quality. Watching the orginal series, even series 6 was so much better than this. The Garvey's have been a big loss.
Looks like you're wrong as it's still rating strongly. Not as good as it once was, but if you axed everything that is lower than it once was, you'd have about 23 hours per day free.

The scheduling is key, but ITV's current scheduler just seems to be all over the place.

Tuesday and Sunday is where they truly need to build up the evening. They cannot keep going through the year with Tuesday's becoming a dead zone. They keep scheduling double factual, and every time this proves not to work.

And Sunday is just one disaster after another. Not learning from mistakes.
As most viewers just watch Countryfile and don't consider any alternatives, this won't change, whatever they put on. They've tried practically everything.

Regarding Tuesday's, if they put a drama on, it'd be slammed as killing it off before it even starts. You'd be going on about bad scheduling for a start.

New Tricks repeats look to be back from Wednesday 10th February. Crimewatch on Monday, Happy Valley on Tuesday.
