To be honest I doubt there are many that are bothered in any way at all. Its all been done before with Leona Lewis and a few others on X Factor. TVUK has been going here 5 years and has never produced a truly successful singing star-and yet that hasn't held it back to any noticeable extent. Audience tailed off in series 1 after its 12 million consolidated peak, they weren't interested in who won. And yet 10 million still tuned in last year-still though not interested in who won. Admittedly its dropped a bit this year, but none of it is down to the lack of star creation imo.
Hugely interesting next year, for me its the warmth of the coaches to the contestants and other coaches that makes this show watchable. ITV will have the choice as to whether to give it a more aggressive gladiatorial feel or stick with the past.

I thought it was a decent semi final tonight. Some good singers left in the final.
Not sure any will be long term stars though.

Interesting moment when Ricky Wilson turned to the camera after his first act, Kevin (ex Liberty X), performed and said "Now it's time for a break!". Clearly readying himself / the show for itv next year.

Oh I know. most have lost major record deals but you have some who are continuing to sing for a living. They've still got a career. Interesting to see how many.

Major scandal breaking over possible doping in football. If it escalates we could see major absences from Euro 2016 and especially the league could suffer if teams end up suspended lowering Match of the Day's ratings.

Cheers for those.

Quite a limp set of numbers there. Can't Touch This didn't improve without Takeaway whilst The Voice hit another new low. You do wonder if it's worth ITV's while at this point. The same episode last year got 6.3m so it's way down. Decent for Casualty but quite remarkable to see it ahead of The Voice.

Over at ITV a decent number for Takeaway. Looks a bit low compared to some of the numbers earlier in the run but the share's solid so it just looks like there were fewer people around. Brings it to a series average of 6.52m, up 10% on last year.

Horrible for ITV afterwards though. What happened to YBITR? That's a dire number for that slot and looks like a waste of a BGT lead-in next week. They won't renew it at that level. Awful for Ross afterwards too for his finale. He's back later in the year but they need to start looking for a new chatshow. Also YBF not doing well early on, both Takeaway and The Voice got poor lead-ins last night.

Disappointing rating for the final SNT. But then again, it was gorgeous weather yesterday, so perhaps that played a part.

YBITR is dropping , but will likely get a boost next week.

Jonathos Ross as dire as ever. His show really needs to be axed.

As always with ITV, its one show holding up the evening. Without Takeaway, YBITR would be below 2.5m and JR around 1.5m.

Can't Touch This has go a higher share than YBITR, so if this can get a recommission on ITV, then surely Can't Touch This can also?

Disaster for TVUK. Next week its going to be hit massively by BGT.

YBITR would have cost a lot less than Can't Touch This.

Plus the format is selling a lot better overseas, so might have to recommission to sell to more territories. Although isn't this series only 4 episodes long?

I'm surpised it held over 4m for series 1. This is where it should have been for s1, ep2. ITV can do so much better than this rubbish.

YBITR is a BBC Worldwide format so ITV will be in no hurry to recommission it just to boost their sales!

How do these ratings work as we always record ITV so we can skip the adverts? So watched the beginning of NCIS New Orleans and then caught up with Ant & Dec. Also often watch things on the plus 1 channels.

That breakdown for both ITV and BBC1 shows viewers turning over to BBC1 straight after SNT finishes and holding over 4m all night.

ITV on the other hand just terrible. When JR starts he's below 1.8m at 9.30pm.

The Tess / Vernon texts has been eked out Clifford style over three days headlines and nit a lot in it. Not sure who thry are trying to hurt bar that marriage, and to be honest, very little tangible evidence.

What we know us the tarnished Murdoch press has gone back to its roots with the News of the World, ( or news if the - rhymes with news) .

Ratings wise I can't see it having any affect, now if Vernon was live on the One show last week as booked, it may gave bad a slight affect.

Bottom line, who do The Sun think actually believes this stuff?”

There is another one today.

According to The Sun, last night's Saturday Night Takeaway was a shambles, "plagued by technical errors" leaving Ant and Dec flustered. The story then goes on to describe one minor error, that isn't exactly a plague. I thought headlines were supposed to be backed up by the story?

Anyone who has watched the show will know it was nothing of the sort, but the papers just have to be mean spirited and negative at all times don't they.

If you look at these ITV breakdown above you'll see the rating drops about 0.5 to 1.0m every 15-20 minutes or so, that's the ad breaks due to people like yourself skipping through them. Those time periods are edited out of the offical ratings.

Slightly disappointing rating for SNT, but the clocks have gone forward and for many due to the way Easter fell, it's actually the middle of the school holidays, not the end, so I suppose it should be expected.

Regarding YBITR, wasn't the previous weeks a better rating, so do we make recommissioning choices based on one showing now? Certain people here would swing an axe at 99% of programmes.

The Jonathan Ross Show needs put out of it's misery.

Sad low for TVUK.

Can't wait for Marcella, I see it being a surprise hit for ITV ala Broadchurch.

You must remember that most of the people who write about TV have never worked in the industry and don't understand it. I didn't see the programme but read on another thread they used the Spanish flag when Barcelona is capital of the autonomous region of Catalonia which has its own flag

I can't see that trend. It looks to me that BBC1 grew by no more than 500k after 8:30pm. Not many when ITV had almost 7m tuned in.

The majority of SNT viewers wouldn't know about that or if they did wouldn't be so pedantic.

ALL The Sun readers definitely wouldn't know about that.
