Cameron v Farage peaked with 4.6m at around 9:50pm. According to ITV it was the most-watched current affairs programme of the year across all channels, and smashed the slot average of 2.7m (13%).
BB launched with 1.6m (8.4%) including +1, down on last year's 1.8m (10%), but was up on the channel's 980k (5.5%) slot average. Source: Broadcast. |

Dire for Big Brother
Not catastrophic. Just poor. As it was up against one of the highest rated ITV Tuesdays bar BGT in a very long time. |

From Broadcast:
The next series of The Jonathan Ross Show will be cut short (ending in December) to allow Ross to travel to the US. The show will return in October 2017. Kevin Lygo, a close friend of Ross, issued a statement dismissing the speculation surrounding the show's future. "Jonathan Ross is very important to ITV and we look forward to the new series this autumn and the Christmas special and working with him again next year when the show returns in autumn 2017," he said. |

Now is it wrong to read that as 'fulfilling our contract ' and then casting JR adrift ?

![]() Allegedly I'm biased, but that's never been proven. Just an honest assessment. At least they are trying genuinely different things: improvised comedy, live music, panel show. But if the idea was to have a stronger BB around to support this slew of new young-skewing shows, then the strategy is in pieces already. Viacom was always going to pitch the channel younger - and I don't have a problem with that - but why no younger skewing factual or younger skewing drama? Those genres are always going to be the channel's bread and butter. Looking at the US shows that are coming up, I'm unsure which one they should go for. I think Bull would be my first choice followed by Timeless and perhaps This is Us/ |

Taken from an article in Broadcast magazine (20 September 1985) by William Phillips:
"In Scotland and East Anglia, Emmerdale Farm still leads into News at 5.45; elsewhere it has a 19.00 start. Until this month EastEnders was pitched directly against Emmerdale Farm in most areas. My chart shows how the Square's average audiences for first transmissions have held up since its launch, compared with the Street and the Farm. Taking each show's average audience in EastEnders' debut week as 100, all have fallen seasonally since February. Until late May, EastEnders fell furthest: the expected pattern for a new soap, which many sample and reject in early weeks. But since late July, Albert Square has recovered well. By mid-August it was almost back to premiere week ratings, unlike the Farm. Hence the silly season excitement. Only look a little closer. During most of this period, the average first run half hour of the Square has won only 50 to 60 per cent as many viewers as the Farm, 45 to 55 per cent as many as the Motel (which got a new look this Spring) and up to half as many viewers as the Street. The ratios are consistent: TV audiences are regular in their habits and their loyalties alter only very gradually. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, EastEnders was getting around six million, compared with 15 million for Coronation Street. But EastEnders' Sunday omnibus audience fluctuated between four million and seven million, which BARB added to its tally. Come August, the Square appeared to be closing on the Street. Why the sudden surge of viewers for EastEnders? Look no further than the competition. Emmerdale Farm has been screening "golden moments" in most regions to let others, including London, catch up with the plot: the whole ITV network will see the same storyline from this month. Naturally some viewers switched to EastEnders in August, to try something fresh. In the first fortnight of the Farm retreads, EastEnders jumped from 6.6 million to 7.9 million then 8.7 million. Meanwhile the Square's omnibus repeat faced a weak ITV Sabbath afternoon mixture: old movies, documentaries, educational stuff about Northern Ireland. The EastEnders omnibus audience increased from four to five million to five to six million. Add these together, BARB-fashion, and in the week ended September 1, Tuesday's EastEnders "beat" the Street, 15.4 million to 15.1 million. Hogwash - but let us not denigrate the BBC's first true soap for 16 years. It has done well to establish a bridgehead clientele of maybe 7.5 million on weeknights. Its summer surge bodes well for this month's shift to 19.30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which for years have been among ITV's weakest primetime spots". |

This bit is the most significant bit. EastEnders moved to 7.30pm where there was minimal competition from ITV. This was in September 1985, more viewers around in Autumn. Then the build to to Den Watts being revealed as the father of Michelle Fowler's baby which happened in October. That's when ratings really started to take off. Savvy scheduling from Michael Grade and a big storyline in Autumn turned EastEnders into a hit.
(World Cup Soccer Special: Wales v Scotland on September 10). On Thursday Sept 5, ITV showed the premiere of Superman III at 7.30, then Give Us a Clue on most of the other Thursdays. |

It's not a competition, though, is it? Tributes and obituaries are based on many factors. Last night there was an easily droppable show and an obit in the can. Had Ali died on a Saturday when Strictly and Match of the Day were on, he might have had a bit less coverage. It's a bit like what Roger Mosey talks about in his book, when he was Head of News Lorraine Heggessey decided to simulcast News 24 on BBC1 when it was reported they'd caught Saddam Hussain. Mosey suggested it hadn't been confirmed yet so he thought it might be a bit premature, but Heggessey said that either way it was a story, and crucially it was more interesting that what they were currently transmitting, so it was going on now. Whereas Heggessey refused to let them do a newsflash about Jim Callaghan dying immediately before the first Doctor Who in 2005, because it would have interrupted the carefully planned and much trailed build-up, and it would have to wait until after. And of course the famous example is Mother Theresa who got next to no coverage because she had the misfortune to die straight after Princess Diana.
And anyway, it's hardly the Beeb deciding who is and who isn't worthy of extended coverage, look at all the front pages and supplements in the papers today. Paul Daniels didn't get all that, did he? It was just like when they wouldn't show Are You Being Served repeats for years as they thought nobody would watch. Then they put one out and were surprised by how well it did. Happened with The Goodies too. Kept off for years as they thought nobody would watch, then Return Of The Goodies got 3m so they got out a few episodes for repeats. |

ITV confirms Ed Chamberlin as their main horse racing presenter, who will be leaving Sky Sports after 16 years:
http://www.racingpost.com/news/live....24&category=0# Great choice. I'm guessing we'll see Ed on ITV football as well. |

Speaking of Carla Lane, I know Bread regularly achieved 18 million for its first three series, but how did the longer running Liver Birds fare in the ratings as I do recall it either being in a Friday or Sunday slot. Also later episodes seemed to have the aaahh factor with Lucien and his rabbits and Sandra working as a kennelmaid, which made it more of a family show, than the earlier and IMHO far better episodes with Polly James.

Ben Shephard not having a good week. First player ever sent off in the Charity football match at the weekend. Now on Tipping Point he has just nearly messed up a contestant's chance of winning by asking her the poem featuring Don Jewan (as he pronounced Don Juan!)
Luckily she got it right as he never corrected his error.

Good for the Referendum Debate, much higher than many were expecting, the big one with Boris appearing is on Thursday. |
