Was that the second showing of it? I think Night Train To Murder (as bad as it was), rated well first time out.
It was the first showing, watched by 9.29m. (A Woman of Substance: 13.2m)
On Wednesday, the documentary The Greatest Paper in the World! had 3.18m. The first episode of A Woman of Substance had 11.55m.
Bloopers had 10.2m on Friday. (A Woman of Substance: 13.85m)

Richard Klein is leaving ITV!

Probably for the best as he just couldn't find enough popular factual hits for a mainstream ITV audience.
It's a bloodbath over at ITV! Steve November better watch his back, he's the only major department he's still standing.

Not surprising really. ITV factual has been a disaster. A few okay raters surrounded by a pile of flops.

Interestingly one of his biggest commissions in a while, Life at The Extreme is yet to air and, as I mentioned this morning, looks to have been handed a plum Monday slot. If that one bombs then he really has been a disaster.

I'm surprised it was that low.

I think even I was watching A Woman Of Substance on Channel 4!

This Broadcast story says it all. Looks like it was more ITV's decision than Klein's. Fincham wanted Klein to broaden ITV's factual but the problem is the ITV audience are set in their ways and he didn't do enough to appeal to them.

ITV parts company with Richard Klein

ITV has parted company with director of factual Richard Klein after two-and-a-half years.

The former BBC4 controller is thought to have left in abrupt circumstances following Kevin Lygo’s appointment as ITV director of television.

Broadcast understands that after initially struggling to contact Klein to agree his departure deal, a line of communication is now open. “He left the building and couldn’t be contacted,” said a source close to the situation.

Klein joined in summer 2013 after nearly four-and-a-half years as the boss of BBC4 and was given the freedom to take risks with ITV’s factual slate by former director of television Peter Fincham.

But Klein struggled to get to grips with his task, with producers claiming he failed to understand ITV’s heartland audience and that there were confusing messages about the types of shows his department wanted.

Problematic programmes have included The Wonder Of Britain, the Julia Bradbury series which was rested midway through its run last year, and more recently Saved. The latter could only manage a consolidated audience of 1.5m (5.3%) at 9pm last month.

It has proved difficult to identify a returnable factual brand on the scale of Long Lost Family and even bankable celebrity travelogues have not performed as well as in the past.

But there have been some high points during his tenure. The Mafia with Trevor McDonald pulled in up to 5.5m viewers last year, while The Sugar Free Farm has performed well in recent weeks.

Defending his record at the Edinburgh International Television Festival last year, Klein said ITV was competing with hundreds of channels which place greater emphasis on factual content. “The question about what is success in factual is a big and interesting question,” he told delegates.

And some more.
Good news I have some soap ratings for yesterday.

Coronation Street 7.30pm: 7.75m (35.9%) and 70k (0.3%) on +1
Coronation Street 8.30pm: 7.35m (32.3%) and 140k (0.6%) on +1
Emmerdale: 6.59m: (32.4%) and 100k (0.5%) on +1
EastEnders: 6.59m (29.3%) and 379k (2.2%) on +1.
Doctors: 1.65m (21.7%)
Hollyoaks: 840k (4.2%) and 100k (0.5%) on +1

Will some of that BBC3 audience go to iPlayer and bump up ratings for EastEnders?

That is a good rating. Pretty hard hitting drama last night.

I know we have a lack of ratings, but anything for Neighbours yesterday please?

The only problem is they add on +1 to their figures. I know every little helps, but even so.

I don't see the BBC3 audience going to 'live' viewing. They will either DVR or use catch-up services.

CS second episode still suffering that drop off. ITV really should be shifting 1 of the 2nd CS episodes to sunday at 7.30.

EE has really dropped right back down again after it's Christmas boost, not sure why as lots of people have been saying how good its been this past month.

ED as ever pretty secure, would love to see a 7 million again in the overnights but think the chance has gone for this year.

I think it'll do very well. Reviews have been good too. The last series opened with an overnight of 6.2m, I think. So I'll go for 6.5-7m this time after the hype.

I just hope there isn't a Broadchurch-esque online backlash this time. It was unnecessary the last time and essentially just boiled down to the press latching onto some colourful tweets and blowing it out of proportion. Happy Valley 1 didn't reach Broadchurch levels of hype so hopefully that will mean it avoids the knives this time around.
Broadhchurch deserved some of backlash in series 2. Compared to Series 1 it was nonsense at times.

Another massive blow for Coronation Street as Paula Lane has quit the show after six years in her role as Kylie Platt.

http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/coro...s-kylie-platt/

Another of their strongest actresses gone. The show is in a right state.

I have never watched Emmerdale but started watching midweek last week while switching channels out of boredom and I actually enjoyed. I watched yesterday and tonight too.

I like some of them and versatile is the word for the overall concept with the Stage 5, something their new look is unlikely to provide to the same extent, but you have to keep moving on as the programming proposition evolves. The one with the woman walking down the red carpet and the photographers flashing their cameras, does it really reflect where the channel is today? Or does it more accurately reflect what it was like under Desmond with OK! TV every night and a more celeb-focussed lineup?

For me change is needed. But by far and away the bigger more significant change would be the HD channel going free. With 105 set to become available on the EPG, one less entertainment channel on Freeview in the evenings and The X-Files keeping them competitive in the ratings post-CBB, there's surely never been a better time to make that switch. Make it happen Viacom !
The Channel 5 re-brand is happening THIS Thursday. Might grow on me. Feels like the Channel 4 rebrand which I think is a misstep in some areas.

Don't think they should be worried, Kate Oates has a pretty good track record with regards to introducing new characters at Emmerdale.

OOH. Some lovely idents there with an upmarket feel to them. Far better than I expected.

But where's the logo on them?

If the BBC3 audience record the BBC1 screening and watch at BBC3 time, they count in the overnights for BBC1.
