The Musketeers is not suited to Saturday nights. It"s very tedious, formulaic nonsense in period costume. It's a pity episode 1000 of Casualty is being held up by this; the latter will inevitably suffer owing to the climax of the Portugal and Croatia game on itv.
The Ratings Thread (Part 67)
424 of 473
The time is come to say hello to a new season of the DSRPG! Week One is here with a new drama on BBC One and Channel 5, factual arriving elsewhere and a plethora of football matches as Euro 2016 enters it's latter stages... and Wimbledon starts it's run. So why not have a go and see how you do - whether you are a regular player, have lapsed or are first time player?

I think this has to go down as one of the worst matches in the history of the Euros. Truly dire stuff.
EDIT: The last 5 minutes were quite thrilling

Yes the BBC aided there by the penalties for the 2.00 start for a very decent peak. Excellent for Wales/NI.
We can see the core audience for Musketeers and its not great. Curious that its never caught on at all, much hyped and impressive start and then all downhill. There must have been something good somewhere which kept it going for 3 seasons that Crimson Field didn't have.

Terrible panel. Oh well.
Countryfile was only a compilation this week anyway, so it makes sense.

Adele was FANTASTIC, absolutely brilliant. Really deserved a high rating. Should have been shown on BBC One.

The penalty shoot-out would have picked up people tuning in for Wales v Northern Ireland.
The smaller build-up for the UK derby probably boosted the average for the whole programme (but will BARB put yesterday's BBC1 football double down as one programme from 1.30 to 7.10?)

New Order stole the night and Barney even had a little dig at Adele in his banter. Best performance I've ever seen from them. Hooky must be GUTTED!
Brilliant for Wales vs NIR. Fantastic for Glastonbury.
Any ratings with +1 for both the BB eviction and last night's episode (I suspect that will have been very very low).

A really excellent result for the Wales / NI game - demonstrates that the tournament is about more than just England for the broadcasters, especially the BBC. And probably rather helps to explain the slightly odd picks we wound up with. Second and third choice games in the R16 and QF were always more valuable than usual if several home nations emerged from the group stages.
Not a bad peak for the Croatia v Portugal game either. To be honest, folks did well to still be sticking with the football after the marathon of dull play we saw yesterday!
Good figure for the Wales v Northern Ireland game. I can't find many other 8m+ overnights on BBC One this year. Might have missed one or two, though.

“BBC One schedule change:
- Question Time Special moved from 22:35 (recorded) to 18:30 (now airing live). Countryfile pushed to 17:00”
They've probably realised that extra time and pens could have pushed it back to after 11pm meaning little point in airing it tonight at all.

Just to go back to this, that BBC2 schedule was largely improvised because the whole day's play at Wimbledon was abandoned - http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules...and/1997-06-27. Funnily enough that was also the first year the Beeb covered Glastonbury - it was the year the Other Stage sank into the mud - and look what time the coverage began!
Worth looking at that rating for Countdown as well, but that could do exceptional figures in those days when BBC1 and ITV were showing kids shows, and on that day BBC2 wouldn't have been showing Wimbledon either.

I think the last two years the Glastonbury special has been on BBC2 due to Andy Murray playing at Wimbledon. As I mentioned, it's interesting how they always suggest The One Show Glasto show is there to bring a BBC1 audience to Glasto, and I don't think they've ever shown it on there.
I doubt there's much to read from the ratings for it, it was a rather different One Show to usual so it alienated some of the regular audience, plus of course there is an issue of routine with some of its audience and if it doesn't come straight on after the news they don't watch it. It doesn't normally have another BBC channel getting four million opposite it either.

Well, this is the thing, isn't it, breakfast TV relies on events like this to bring in new audiences of people who usually don't watch the news at breakfast time because they think it's boring. I think it's the case that if it's political most people will go to the Beeb while the ITV audience tends to be boosted for big human interest stories.

Sunday Politics was always billed as running from 10am, earlier in the week I was wondering how the hell they were going to fill it. No problem doing so, as it turned out. And Glasto had the same amount of coverage, it started at 7.30 rather than 8pm.

I don't know what else they could have done, they showed them again at half time and they had a highlights programme. The vast majority of the audience was tuning in for the later match. Sky has often given the first game of a Super Sunday very short shrift if the second one is more interesting. There was a famous example of the day Eric Cantona came back from his ban and Sky spent so long going on about it, they missed the kick-off of the earlier match.
Then in the 2002 World Cup, ITV moved the entire second half of Paraguay vs South Africa to ITV2 to allow more build up to England vs Sweden. And got into trouble from Ofcom for not asking permission.

Of course, because the BBC have the first two picks, it's guaranteed that Wales vs whoever on Friday night will be live on the Beeb - second pick if England are through, first pick if they're not.
Worth pointing out that Sunday Politics didn't really start. At about 10:10am, Andrew Marr just handed over to Andrew Neil who was at Westminster and who just started interviewing a guest, as if he was co-presenting Marr. It was seamlessly one programme.
Shame for last night's late ITV News. They brought in Alistair Stewart to do a full half hour programme, replacing the scheduled freelancer, but due to extra time in last night's very dull game, it was about 10:50 before it started and hardly anyone stuck around for it.
