Anything for Countryfile? Would be interesting to see how it held up (slightly) earlier in the schedule.
Thanks |

Beowulf is awful. Maybe people weren't interested in the idea from the start but if it was good there might be a bit more word of mouth about it. A programme that starts low and STILL manages to go lower is not good enough. It should have been held back to a less competitive slot but its crapness would still be found out. It's like watching amateur theatre round the corner from your house every Sunday.
How could they let a programme this bad get to air? Remember, somebody saw the rushes and final edit and thought "Yeah this is brilliant! No changes needed. Put it on!" How did this happen?

I'd be interested in this too - if anyone has it please?
Thanks Broadcast dubbing it a barnstorming evening for BBC One, with a 6.6m average across peak. http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/rating...099279.article |

Broadcast dubbing it a barnstorming evening for BBC One, with a 6.6m average across peak. http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/rating...099279.article I did think that perhaps SOAH would have dipped without Countryfile sitting earlier in the evening, but I am glad that I was wrong. ITV really struggling to get any traction on a Sunday evening. Endeavour still holding onto 4 million is ok, especially after last weeks awful conclusion. Perhaps they should consider moving those extra episodes of the soaps back onto a Sunday before it gets embarrassing. |

Maybe someone should copy and paste your post into a memo and send it to Kevin Lygo? Because he should be asking himself, and then others, all the questions you've put forward ...

3.2m (14.3%) for Mr. Selfridge.
2.6m (11.6%) for part 1 of CBB's eviction, including +1. Mr Selfridge going out quietly.Quote:
Different league to the others, for sure.
Such a turnaround from when I first started following ratings. ITV owned Sundays then with the likes of Heartbeat, The Royal, Wild at Heart, etc. BBC One often did well also but were playing second fiddle most of the time. Heartbeat et al were losing a bit of steam towards the end so bad they stuck with that lineup it wouldn't be as strong now but even so it is quite a turnaround. X Factor's Sunday move helped them dominate but with that show not what it once was and Downton gone they might not even win Sundays in Q4 this year. The thing is, with Countryfile so strong now and with Strictly results I'm not sure if moving the soaps back would work that well any more. Quote:
I think TMO is only up because last year it was abandoned in the worst Saturday night schedules ITV have ever had and so suffered.

I notice Planet's Got Talent returned last night at 6.30pm. Will have been utterly crushed by Attenborough. Does anyone know how badly it did?

While I agree lets remember many other shocking programmes have made it air as well. You do wonder how though.

I don't disagree, but isn't the point here that there is a growing list of expensive ITV dramas, all from the same supplier, which are being screened without any apparent quality control, and given favourable treatment as far as recommissions go, yet they're all tanking?
If they renew Beowulf then I'll see your point but it doesn't look that way. Also about quality control, yes Beowulf is awful but they haven't aired a load of awful shows. Those that actually watched Jericho seemed to quite like it and even Jekyll & Hyde had a core fanbase (it wasn't a bad show, it just didn't fit in either slot or network). I get that ITVS has now has three big dramas tank in a row but they aren't all terrible shows and I suspect none will return. |

What favourable recommissioning decisions have been made? I can't really see any. Jekyll & Hyde was thrown straight on the scrapheap and I'm sure Beowulf will go the same way. So will Jericho unless the numbers improve. I can't see many shows that they've renewed that they wouldn't have done had they been made elsewhere. Mr Selfridge might not have got this final series I suppose (although really it didn't do any worse last year than the likes of DCI Banks which also got renewed) but that's about it. Home Fires was ITVS but they'd have brought that back anyway.

Beowulf has already been commissioned to second series (I think this has been referred to on this thread somewhere). |

J&H was commissioned to second series, then the plug was pulled on it. I have no idea if this was reported, but the production team contacted writers and were in planning stages when the plug was pulled.
Beowulf has already been commissioned to second series (I think this has been referred to on this thread somewhere). Throughout the whole time it was on air (and before) Higson always said "if we get a second series" not "we've got a second series" so whilst they might have began some work on a second series (which for extended 10+ part series isn't unusual) it seems nothing was ever completely assured. |

It seems that high concept show like J&H, Beowulf, Jericho etc aren't doing well for ITV but their bread and butter shows like Vera, Endeavour etc are still doing well for ITV and ITV Studios.
