Before one or two get too carried away ripping into Suspects over only slightly inadequate ratings, it should probably be noted that BBC Two comedy Boy Meets Girl posted just 328k (2.0%) in the first half hour of Suspects' slot, and C4 wasn't too far ahead with 775k across the hour for sitcom Man Down followed by documentary A Granny's Guide to the Modern World.
Getting around a third to a quarter of what it got last year. I recall the BBC delaying a recommission by asking the writer where it would go next as they needed to be convinced. Sadly it was a one trick pony and got old very fast. It just did not have the staying power (nor was it funny enough) to get past the basic premise that could not sustain it indefinitely. Speaking of which if Cash Trapped is recommissioned they need to change the format. No quiz show will ever retain viewers if on the fourth day of only 10 episodes nobody has won anything, nobody has lost anything and all the original contestants are still there playing the same game like it is Groundhog Day not Cash Trapped. Bradley Walsh's parties must have guests coming up with the best ever run of excuses to leave if their fun days of this go on indefinitely in the same way. More importantly, viewers are just not going to warm to a show with such an interminable concept where the same people can play on and on and on and still nobody wins or loses. You need a variety of contestants and you need winners and losers. You cannot sustain a quiz show that basically allows 0-0 draws every day. |

I never panned Kelly. She was the best thing on it.

Indeed. And here's the press release to confirm that she's joined Sky...
http://www.skysports.com/football/ne...eague-coverage So, are we going to get the retraction soon? Whether she did so after leaving Channel 5 of her own accord or being sacked/having her contract not renewed is still an unknown. The abject failure of Football League Tonight to draw in respectable viewing figures will have inevitably caused heads to roll at Channel 5- Kelly Cates may well have been one of them. If Kelly wasn't the daughter of a very successful footballer, I think it could be considered doubtful that she would have got the Channel 5 gig in the first place. |

I would like to have seen Suspects do closer to a million as frankly it deserves so, but a respectable figure and I'm sure it will consolidate well.
Wondering how their panel show It's Not Me It's You will perform in a CBB sandwich tomorrow as I think previous episodes have struggled. |

I haven't seen Cash Trapped yet as I've been on holiday, so can't offer an opinion.
I do wonder if the fact that BBC1 are showing Pointless Celebrities might be a partial explanation. These episodes are so more obviously repeats than repeats of normal editions, plus they might be slightly annoying to viewers who want their regular slightly more serious weekday edition. |

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-36979491 The idea upcoming (somewhere - I do not think for this series) to write and create 'new' Morecambe and Wise shows using new material with the impersonators who play them is a bit more worrying though. But TV moves on and I bet we end up one day with classic TV shows recreated using holograms of the original actors in new episodes. Unless these sitcoms in the series all crash and burn and persuade people to look for new sparks of genius and not fake the real thing. |

Meanwhile Cash Trapped ended up with its fourth successive stalemate. Though the banter works well and there is a modicum of excitement I remain convinced the fact that we have had the same contestants basically rerunning the same quiz every night this week with nobody yet having won or lost anything is a serious flaw. If that happens in the first 4 episodes a full series of this is surely going to have a real problem with staleness. |

Even Holby is on tonight for the second time this week due to the olympics next week.

Should we not have had lots of faux outrage about how dare they show 2 hours of Holby in one week, and why did they commission these episodes in the first place, by now?

Does anyone have any idea why FiveUSA+1 is listed in the Radio Times as being on Freeview channel 78 when it isn't and according to Five's website doesn't even exist??

The power of the CBB lead-in. Could do even better in a sandwich, we'll see. If new viewers tuning in for the first time end up liking it, it has a chance, which is more than can be said for a couple of the new shows this week. |

My mistake. I apologize for that- I remember you generally assassinating it as a show, but obviously for you Kelly Cates was the diamond in the rough.
All that press release shows is what we already know- that Kelly Cates has joined Sky. Whether she did so after leaving Channel 5 of her own accord or being sacked/having her contract not renewed is still an unknown. The abject failure of Football League Tonight to draw in respectable viewing figures will have inevitably caused heads to roll at Channel 5- Kelly Cates may well have been one of them. If Kelly wasn't the daughter of a very successful footballer, I think it could be considered doubtful that she would have got the Channel 5 gig in the first place. Since I've never seen bile like Eldorado had in the press for her sitcom this series given it's ratings - i.e Bore Meets Girl - BBC2 sitcom is less popular than Summer Bay, Healy Away, Bornise Welch, or any derisory headlines. Nor have the BBC shoved her show into naff timeslots despite the ratings which they did to Eldo or even Breakers and Out of the Blue at points. |

Its likely that there will be another series given these ratings. I cannot beleve some are still watching benefits shows. ![]() Bit of a jump for CBB yesterday from the previous night. Ramsay Hotel Hell is doing well. Cash Trapped is slowly dropping to poor figures. The one noticable thing is that Pointless is not rising as ITVs ratings drop. |

Large increase for CBB and I expect the +1 will bring it to 1.8m. Shame those benefits shows do so well, they won't get rid of them if they are getting those types of ratings. Yet another drop for Cash Tipped, I wonder when it will stabilize.

#TheInvestigator increased viewing this week and won the 9pm slot 2.8m / 14.6% @ITVShiver @mwilliamsthomas overnights.tv
This has done okay-ish for Summer factual. It most likely built on its lead-in and has won the slot most weeks. It's nothing to shout about, but compared to some of the factual flops they've had its maybe worth a cautious renewal? |

The awful Thursday night benefit shows are all part of the same series. Next week is episode 22 of 24 so there are only three more.
