Any predictions for tonight? I was not too far off last night with my predictions for BBC and ITV, so in theory I shouldn't be too far off tonight

My would be:

Pointless 4.7m
SCD 8.8m
Lottery 4.3m


Go For It 1.9m
TXF 6.7m
Newziods 3.3m
Carpenters 2.7m

I suspect like most years, both shows surrounding SCD will get a boost of 1-1.5m

For ITV, flimsy LE show Go For It will drop below 2m against SCD, TXF will be around similar to last Saturday - no boost from SCD. Newziods will do 'ok', but better than if it were anywhere else.
BIB: That would be another reason to hate X Factor - if it fails to kill off Five Star Family Reunion.

A nice low, low rating dangerously close to dropping below 2m would be desirable (for Family Reunion, not X Factor).

If Strictly could get anywhere near 9 million it would be fantastic for the show.

I don't know what they've done to X Factor but it feels like the old days all round - when even the editing was entertaining and funny. Not saying it's enough to save it from further drops, but strange how badly wrong they had got it the past few years trying to be oh so cool and failing miserably.

On a slightly differen note and a bit late, I thought Gardeners' World was the best thing on Friday night. I love the new 1hr episodes. 30minutes is too short.

It did. Friday was the wrong day for it and the promotion was poor for it. Think it could get a series though.

No Strictly launch show (teaming contestants with their dance partners), has ever averaged 9m. That's one barrier it has never been able to break.

I felt the Strictly launch show was better than previous years. Or maybe I'm just in a better mood.

Although last year's launch show had 9.78m on 7 day consolidated (and 10.05m 0n 28 day consolidated) so it couldn't have been much below 9m in the overnights.

It was 8.69m. But Strictly launch shows never average 9m in the overnights is what I should have said. Just can't do it. X Factor, BGT and I'm A Celebrity have but Strictly never can. It's a bit surprising considering how high the ratings can get during a series.

Thanks Ray.

Was Friday 5th September 1997 a rare time when the NIne O'Clock News was ahead of News At Ten?

Yes, I guessed you meant in the overnights, but in looking up last year's figures, it was a lot easier to look up the consolidate figure on the BARB website (and rough-guess the overnights) than it was to find the exact page in the vast history of the ratings thread where the overnights were posted.

Well of course the obvious difference with the other shows is that there's a 3 week gap between this launch show and the series starting proper, on a Friday and Saturday. I bet many viewers feel that then is the true launch, and is also promoted slightly better, though obviously this one doesn't have anything to be ashamed about ratings wise either!

I never knew Third Rock from the Sun used to be shown on BBC2. I've been recording the overnight repeats on Channel 4 recently and it is still an hilarious series 20 years on.


September 5, 1997 is famously the day Mother Theresa died. I imagine that was the top story on those high-rating news bulletins.

Totally ignored in favour of the Royal Dead Bimbo, partly because it was announced just before the Queen made her crown saving big speech, quite a few idiots before that had been demanding the overthrow of the monarchy because the family hadn't shown enough sadness

Personally I found the events of the whole week revolting

Strictly Come Dancing : 9.26m (46.5%)

Go For It: 2.46m (12.2%) Inc +1
The X Factor: 8.28m (39.0%) Inc +1
Newzoids : 3.31m (16.7%) Inc +1
Carpenters Song: 2.15m (13.4%) Inc +1

Fantastic figures for both shows!

Strictly peaked at 10.1m.

That's almost X Factor's highest overnight since 2014. The final last year had 8.35m inc. +1.

SCD brilliant, 46.5% of viewers!

Seems SCD gave XF a leg up, handing some of its large audience to XF.

But even with, No competition on BBC1 XF didn't interest everyone with a far lower share of 39% inc +1.

Where the heck did that come from for The X Factor?! Excellent for Strictly - first time it's finished above 9m for the launch; strange we were having that discussion last night about it never managing that and... voila.

Newzoids on one hand struggled with the lead in given but it's nearly back to it's series one launch figure - hopefully it'll hold on to it's audience this time.
